  1. Wow this is great! I joined "The Knot" (just so I could see the dresses) and now they won't stop sending me emails! Occassionally I look at them and this one in particular mentioned speaking to a dermatologist about getting a Botox injection for your wedding day to stop sweating... I thought that was kinda strange, but worth investigating, so I decided to come here to the experts and sure enough you guys are/have discussed it.. Thanks...
  2. I still have NO clue!! We're (get this?...)Christian "House Heads"!! My problem is I think I'm stumped with trying to figure out how to combine the two.. I don't want to dance down the aisle, but I do think that was the cutest idea that one of the other ladies had to dance back up the aisle with your new hubby... So for that I'm thinking "Devotion" by Ten City... The summer of '90 we played that over and over and over again, so much that the cassette tape broke.. So that song has special meaning for us. Plus since we're not having a reception I don't really have to worry about our first dance song. I guess cause our first dance will be the recession! So the bottom line is I'm still scouring YouTube and this thread for Christian themed wedding procession music...
  3. That is tooo funny!... My husband says the exact same thing about our vow renewal DW... and like your man, mine is extremely opinionated.... Girl don't worry,if speaking his mind is truly his nature then when time gets closer he'll definately speak up if for no other reason to make sure that you're as happy and your day is as special as can be...

I figured there had to have been AT LEAST one other person who had pondered this...but when I did a search it produced no results... Hmmm...oh well...that's what I get for trying to read an entire screen that has been minimized.... Who knows there's so much info on this board, when I get home and can open the entire screen I'll find a thread that gives brides a tutorial on how to effectively navigate the board while "fakin' workin'....!
  5. I’ve noticed quite a few women looking for bargain TTD dresses, and I can understand that if you’re dropping a wad of dough on your wedding gown but I was wondering if there is anyone else trashing the actual wedding dress you’re exchanging vows in? Or is there just some unwritten rule that says you don’t? I’m thinking this for a couple of reasons: My dress is being custom made for me as a gift and all I have to buy is the material…so it’s extremely che….ahem... I mean reasonably priced. Also, even though my dress is extremely informal…I doubt very seriously that I’d have another opportunity to wear it again nor do I think I’d want to. I think that after I get some fabulous shots of me in the dress it’s pretty much a done deal anyway. So aside from your dress being expensive why else would you not roll around in the sand in it?

We have no blinds, no deck, no fence, had to buy some new furniture to actually fill some space ... it seems never ending! I also just bought a new car on the weekend because mine died on me!! Ugh! I suppose all these things are part of real life and everyone makes it work somehow but, some days I wish I could go back to being 19 with not a worry in the world other than when my next paper was due!!!!!! I hear ya! I sooo miss the days of not having a care in the world! All the things that needed to be bought were my parents problems!!
  7. Thanks!!! You all made me feel a lot better about my decision... At first I thought the reason people chose DW's because they'd been to that place before and/or it had a special meaning for them,or worse I thought I was the only person who'd never been to Jamaica... I've been doing a lot of research and it looks like we'll be at one of the Couples resorts....I know the memories we'll make in Jamaica will be extra special!
  8. What I mean is when you have your DW..will that be the first time you've & your FI have been there? I think it's a good idea to visit first but that'll of course add to our expenses...Are the internet, phone and photos enough for you? Whadda ya think?
  9. Great pictures! You looked very pretty... Call me slo-mo today...so forgive me if this hass been answered already (Actually I'm supposed to be working so I don't have the window open all the way) Anyway is Michael the photographer the resort uses or would he be considered an outside vendor?
  10. I'm sorry that you're going through this.... and I totally agree with everyone else... It's your day and do what's best for YOU... Think about it this way...people are going to find something to complain about no matter where you have your wedding. They won't like where you have your reception, the cake is too dry,your dress is too revealing, why did you pick the afternoon instead of the morning to get married....Yada Yada Yada.. It's all PURE BS! When it's all said and done it's not about it being a DW, you being selfish, not putting family first, or none of that other crap! The people who really care about and love you, won't ask you to sacrifice your happiness for them. Anybody else... I would tell to go jump in the lake! Those that it matters to the most will be there..even if it turns out to be just you and your FI... BTW...this is exactly why my hubby and I are going SOLO!! Don't worry... no matter what happens it'll all be just fine..besides I'm sure you can think of at least a million more things to worry about that are waaaay more important! So save your text messages for your planner or florist or photograpgher or your Man..send him a few "sexts" to take your mind and his too off of things that won't matter at the end of the day!
  11. Because MOST brides do a French and I usually do a French, I was thinking I'd use my nails as my "Something Blue" opportunity... OPI has this really pretty color called "Moon over Mumbai" it is a really light blue-ish grey color. No matter what...remember it's YOUR day... It may be your last chance to Do what EVAH you wanna!

  13. Ladies, How do you plan to handle your waterworks? Are you going to distract your mind? Is there a product out there that can temporarily dry your eyes? (kinda like the menthol stick that models use to make them cry) or Do you just not worry about it, let flow, and destroy the photos that make you look as if the minister is standing on your toe?
  14. I am!!! Ahem...I mean WE are... My situation is just the opposite, though. My husband and I are renewing our vows, but since we got married at the courthouse 19 years ago, I didn't get the things I wanted,like the dress cake, pictures etc. So this time we're going all out! But it'll be just for us! It's OUR day...and since you can't force adults to do what you want them to do (i.e.sit down, play nice, not cause any undue stress and not complain) Our entire budget is being spent on the things that I want. So since we don't have to worry about feeding guests, or buying gifts for our bridal party. I can spend more on a bigger photo pkg, take some excursions, etc.I've been told we're being selfish but hey?? In the end it's what you want anyway... Enjoy yourself, your way you deserve it, you're entitled... and don't feel bad... Oh sorry just re-read your message ... I'm not even doing the AHR...Maybe I got a lil' excited to read that someone else is just going for a 2 person party DW...
