Hi ladies! I'm home and wish I wasn't lol! It was amazing!!! I'm just writing this quickly, we have only been home about an hour... In the next few days I will get my review up Hope you are all well!

YAY I'm off to Cancun! Thanks to all of you, I could never have planned our wedding in such a short amount of time without you and all your great ideas! Have the best of time on all your trips, can't wait to see pics! :wave:

Thanks for the margarita Mrs. Martin! And your happy weather dust seemed to work lol! They are calling for just a little snow at the first airport and rain at the other, totally normal for this time of year Gayna, I'm really not sure how they would handle your situation. I would suggest calling the Riu wedding department (if you can talk to Tristan she is awesome!!) and ask. We won't have any guests so I have never thought about it. Let us know what you find out! Oh and while I'm there I will also ask for you and post when I get back Ok, I have WAY too much to do, so I'm off, and I'll talk to you all when I'm home! Only 2 more sleeps!!!

I'm sooooo excited! Only 3 more sleeps until legal day and getting out of this nasty weather hehehe! Thank you for letting me know about the planning threads! I'll try to do mine tomorrow night I made my own announcements but didn't use a template, just kind of made them up... do you think just posting the instructions on how to make them is enough in case someone wants to know? Ok, back to packing all my pretty new things.... gotta love boxing day sales

Your dress is gorgeous! Your wedding colors sound awesome! Can't wait to see pics of from your wedding

Mine is white but with lots of color! I don't know how to post pics but this is the link to my dress Jade Daniels Style 2082 I would love to see a pic of yours!

LOL Mrs. Martin! I'm seriously going to have to restrain myself so I don't act out that smiley to perfection On a better note, I finally made contact! Not with Pamela, but her assistant Natalie who is a dream! We've emailed 3 times since yesterday and she gets back to me within hours! Please send me some "happy weather dust" if you can! Looking at the forecast, its supposed to be snowing at both airports we fly out of/stopover the day we leave! I'm sure it will be fine, but after the storms last week and all those flight delays I'm a bit freaked out! Hmmm, maybe I should have left something to do for the wedding until this week... I'm all done and have nothing to do but worry lol! Happy and Safe New Year!

Congrats on your legal day Kate and Nicole! Nicole, have a safe trip and beautiful wedding! Can't wait to see your pics! ToBeMitchell, I have seen them at Staples and Kinkos I believe (in Canada though) Hope this helps! Kelly or Amanda, I'm wondering what this planning thread is? I would love to do it if I can find it lol! Is anyone else taking antibiotics with you just in case? I'm thinking it would be a good idea... Hope you feel better soon Kelly!

Kelly does it seem like a dream to you? We leave in 8 days! Amanda, how is your weather? I hope you are keeping warm and aren't in all those power outages! It's finally starting to warm up over here in Alberta but lots of snow still! Ashley

Hi fellow brides! Hope you all had wonderful holidays! Christmas seemed like an afterthought here, but we ended up having one of the best in years I can't believe that I leave in little over a week and will be married in exactly 2!!! I still can't get Pamela to answer anything by email, I wonder if something happened... eek! Since I made the comments about the same email over and over in November I've heard NOTHING! I'm calling on Monday to see whats up, I seriously wonder if she possibly hasn't gotten my emails, but then wouldn't she think to email me?! (LOL I would have called her MUCH earlier but I was sick all of the beginning of December and then was working crazy hours over the holidays... I work in retail...) Either way, I've decided I will get the wedding I want, and good luck to anyone that stands in my way when we get there LOL If I don't get a chance to pop in here before we leave, I promise there will be a full review soon after we are home and LOTS of pics!

Hi ladies! Merry (belated) Christmas! I hope everyone had a good one My list is DONE! All I have to do is pack (which I want to do now LOL), pick up my dress, do legal day, and LEAVE! FI still has things to do but I basically gave up on him and if he is shirtless, barefoot, and is wearing pants that are too big, its his problem, there will just be more pics of me muahaha

Ok... EEEEKKKK! It just occurred to me that I will be legally married in 20!!! days, on a flight to Cancun in 21 and have my wedding in 24! Suddenly everything I thought was such an accomplishment last week seems like no where near enough done! I think I have told you Im in management at a retail store... that means next week is non-existent lol, I'll be almost living there. Next Monday (22nd) is my only day off until the monday after (29th), and then the monday after is when my vacation begins (5th) with my legal on the 6th! Whew! Here is my plan: 22nd - get our marriage license!!! (talk about last minute) - go in desperate search of a white wool coat - pick up wedding bands - tell FI he better damn well find a white shirt and any sandals because I give up lol - finish the announcements I was supposed to finish the other night hehe - do my final dress fitting (long story about why it didn't happen yesterday... cold weather, ice and cars don't get along to say the least) 29th - pay the final amount to our photographer - CLEAN my house (my mom and FMIL are house/cat sitting oh my!!) - RELAX! 5th - just chill! -pack! - remember that its all worth it and i will be a married woman the next morning - have a nervous breakdown and then just chill again! Somewhere in there I need to find a waterproof moneybelt for FI. Im super paranoid about my resorts safes and dont want to leave anything important behind. Anyone else worried about that? Anything I forgot lol? I was soooo ready and now am a bit frightened by all of this! I can't wait though

I spent just over $800 on mine though to order would have been just over $1000 (floor model fit almost perfectly so I recieved a 20% discount for buying off the rack). This is it Jade Daniels Style 2082
