I will be sure to give a full report when we get back! Megan!! i want a full report when you get back...you must be so excited and nervous...have you finished all the details? what elese do you need to do? that is so exciting!!

Hi Erin, there are a bunch of RM brides on here...where are you geting married? do you have any resort info...?

Jennifer, where did you get the magnets and how did you attach them? Is that something I could find at Michaels? I would love to do the postcards and then stick a little business card magnet in as a reminder for people to out up on the fridge... What would I do without you guys!!!!!!!! i am not jennifer but kashmira, you can just order them as magnets from vista print...they are cute and i know they do a business card one (i have for biz) but they may also do a bigger one.

We used to go to this really cute restaurant area and watch the sunset and talk and plan. I would literally watch the stress melt from him while we would sit next to each other on the adirondack chairs. One afternoon, after we had a really nice day at the spa, he took me there, we sat on the adirondack chairs and just passed the time like we have for years. He asked me to dance with him. He played a game with me which is totally like him. It was called, "Tell me your favorite memory from the future" (for example, "I remember when chet was a puppy and you turned bright red because he chewed all your shoes.") Then he said some incredibly kind, sweet things about our relationship and then asked me to marry him and gave me a beautiful ring (I finally understood why he was carrying his computer bag - with my ring - around all day including at the spa that we had visited earlier). Then he said, "I remember when you made me the happiest I've ever been when you told me on the adirondack chairs that you would be with me for the rest of our lives." omg...that story just made me tear up...that is so sweet what he said to you!!! what a keeper!

i used dj antares and he was ok...i didnt have any major issues with him but can't rave about him either...there were some points when he started to play funky music instead of sticking to our playlist but then we would tell him to play our playlist and he did. he did not mc but steves friend did so it was better because his friend did an awesome job. so i guess, dj antares is competent. played first dance, garter song, bouquet songs on time and correctly.

hey christa, it does start from 0 unfortunately BUT it only takes 30 to get to junior member....and all that had access to private folder before on cw should have access again...

Good luck!!

welcome wizze, Costa rica is beautiful. my esthetician got married there. i am sure you will find alot of information here!!

I know that mom will try to force him to come, which will make them fight. I would rather he if he doesn't want to, then don't. Will it hurt? Yes, but..... Is 16 too young for my little brother to give me away? He'll be 17 next summer......... i think if you and your brother are close then it doesn't matter how old he is...it will be more significant having someone who loves you and understands the importance of walking you down the aisle be there. it will be your stepfathers loss. my best friend just got married on sat. and her dad did not walk her down the aisle. her mom did, and her mom was so proud and beaming, it was beautiful.

you will know when you try on the right dress...it will just feel like the perfect dress to you...good luck!!

stephanie, i am so sorry...that must be so upsetting..i am sure he will come but i am sure it hurt just the thought that he is considering NOT GOING. have you talked to your mom about it? told her how important it is for him to walk you down the aisle.

have you eten there? how is the food?

it is based on your amount of posts..as you post more, your rank gets higher...senior members will have access to private folders...

sssooooo exciting...now you have to post a pic of you in it!!
