May 2010 Brides!

I just found this post!

 

I'm a May 5, 2010 bride as well! We're getting married in Varadero, Cuba.

 

So far we have booked our trip, reserved our hall for our Jack & Jill and are working on selecting our bridal party (we were having issues since none of our friends are commiting to coming). I've also purchased my wedding dress! FH has designed our save the dates so now we're finalizing our guest list and will be printing them ourselves shortly!

 

I feel so behind!

Another May 5th bride - yay!!! I don't think you're behind at all - so far we have the resort booked and save the dates mailed, but that's pretty much it! I've done a ton of research and I have a pretty good idea of what I need to do/buy, but now it's a matter of actually doing it. Next major item on my to do list is the dress!!

Lexibride... we are date twins!! Where are you getting married?

Well I still need to go shopping for a dress, but I do have a photographer hired. At least one more thing done and out of the way

Oh we have our photographer hired as well He's an old friend of ours and is giving us a great deal. Engagement pics, wedding day & a trash the dress session for $800 + the cost of his trip. Amazing deal Gotta love friends.

 

I just sent off the final surprise gifts to ask the rest of my girls to be bridesmaids.

 

We also just decided to have our At Home Reception...at home! LOL Hall rentals were insane and I can't justify spending that kind of money. The destination wedding is supposed to be skipping all of that nonsense lol.

hey 2010 brides!!!! my date is may 21, 2010:)

I agree, you're not behind! Because if you are then so am I haha!

I have been going through the dress dilemma, I didn't realize it was going to be so hard =/

I thought it was going to be a nightmare to find my dress, but it was the 3rd one I tried on! I tried on like 20 more after that, but always kept coming back to "the one".

That's so awesome! I kinda did the same thing - it's not a close friend, but we went to school together and now she's a professional photographer, and she just LOVES doing destination weddings! She's giving me close to the same deal you got. She's doing the rehearsal dinner the night before (I don't know if we'll do an "official" rehearsal dinner, but I'm sure we'll do something as a group), the entire day of the wedding and my TTD session for about the same cost. Plus, I feel so much more relaxed because it's someone I know and not some random person. This was a big stress area for me, but I'm so excited that it's taken care of

I am either going to be a April or May bride. We have not decided yet. Why did you decide on the month of May. We are going to having the wedding in Mexico.
