Those pics look great, you looked beautiful and cudos to your Mom. My Mom makes wedding cakes and a lot of people have asked her is she is making the cake to take down. She laughs at them and tells them only if they are going to carry it on their laps on the plane. I will have to tell her about this now. LOL! She did an awesome job!! Great review too.

Can you get these speakers anywhere?? | I bought mine on Ebay. I think they were about 70 bucks. Definitely go for the JBL mini sounddock. even if they dont hook it up to the speakers it can be turned up really loudly.

Congratulations! The pics are beautiful. Looks like you had a great time.
I also love the hint of blue in your BM's dresses & the blue parasols.
That cake was fabulous! Your mother making it in her room is just crazy! She definitely gets an award for that!
Oh, thanks for letting the brides-to-be know that they don't have to have 1 long table for the reception at Mammee Bay. For some reason, I never even questioned it during the time that we were there! Thats a great tip!

Hey congratulations and welcome back!!! I'm so glad you had a wonderful time. I absolutely cannot believe that your mom did your cake in the hotel room, that is just so cool! And it turned out amazing!!
Your entire ensemble was beautiful. I love the dress, the veil, the jewelry  everything! And your mom's dress was really pretty too.
A side note to future ROR brides, Michael has stated in emails to brides here that he will not allow your guests to stand behind him and take the pictures that he poses. I understand why, but it's still pretty rude to step into peoples pics. Just FYI...
If you kept your barefoot sandals, you can mail them back to me and I can repair them, incase you want to wear them again one day!

And, if anything outshined your dress it wasn't the jewelry it was your smile! You can just see the love!
