Awe those are great.. Congrats you looked great

Erica you are too cute.. lol..

OMG what is the world coming too.. We now have THREE grooms on here.. RUN for your lives women.... LOL Welcome.. :-)

Ikea is great, Just an FYI on the tea lights, they may blow out if the wind is blowing hard.. That was one thing I was worried about, and it ended up being REALLY windy the day of our wedding.

Everything looked great and your right the table looked amazing.. Great Job and congrats.

Oh Congrats, and hope everything turns out wonderful.. Hopefully Leigh will hurry back and post some pics for us.

Ann they leave for Oregon today don't they?

You two have an amazing time at your AHR today. And I know I don't have to say it,, but I will.. lol TAKE LOTS OF PICS.... Karen are you wearing your wedding dress again?

Welcome to the forum. It's quite addicting here, we have an awesome group of people on here. Let us know if you have any questions. Happy planning.

Welcome to the forum. The group we have on here are awesome so you should be able to get some great ideas and help if you need it. Happy planning

I wear makeup, and like Sarah mentioned I also went to the Mac counter before the wedding and had them do it. I'm SOOO glad I did because I had the women at the resort start with my eyebrows and they ended up 4 shades darker then my hair.. That's when I stopped her and told her "never mind I'll do my makeup".. In all honesty, I wish I spent the extra money to go to suzanne Morales in cabo, I "liked" my makeup but I wasn't "thrilled" with it on the wedding day.

Welcome back. Oh I remember those military Dr's.. Oh how I don't envy you for having to deal with that. I'm glad everything is going betting for you.

Oh is that the story your sticking to Erik? "It's a halloween outfit" Umm yea, remind me to not go to your house for dinner, I'd be affraid I'd make the wrong turn on the to the bathroom and end up in the Sex room with swings and all kinds of crazy stuff... lol

No, I usually takes about 2-3 months MAX to come in if you have to order one.

hmm about 4-6 months before you get maried.

IMO I've always like the brides bouquet to be different. maybe you can do white calla lillies, and an accent flower in another color.

hmm The Hilton may still charge you a fee because you will need plates to put the cake on and so forth. You may want to check with them.

I had the same problem when I first started to plan things. I think they look at your wedding day and say "oh she has plenty of time". Are you mentioning in your first email to the vendors when your wedding date is? YOu may want to word it in a way to make them think is sooner versus later. Then when they ask, just tell them the correct date, but hopefully you will have already received some information.

ROFL you guys are cracking me up.. lol

Good luck.. I'm sure the right dress is still out there. Can't wait to see pics.

I had to deal with alot of the same remarks. My parents gave me the 3rd degree lecture for having a DW when they were too poor to attend. My sister acted like she wanted to go but made every excuse under the sun why she couldn't. But you and your FI need to know that it is about the two of you and what makes you happy. Cain and I would have a DW if no one was able to attend. We both had no desire to have a wedding in the states. The people that matter most still make it (if they have the means that is) and that's all the matters.

It sounds like you have a really good start, if your already talking to Juan then at least you can work with him on dates he has open. IMO I would narrow down a few dates, then confirm both Juan and the resort have that date open. Once that is done, you will have time to just relax and enjoy your engagement longer. I was so excited to look for dresses, so that's something you can always do. Budget is another big one if you and Donnie are paying for it yourself. write of list of EVERYTHING you need and then set an amount for each, then once you wake up from passing out at the total the buget came to, look at it again to see if their is anything you can cut back on.. :-)

YEAH LISA.. I'm so happy for you. Congrats and have a wonderful day..

Everything turned out really nice.. Great job.

Jenetta, I think your pictures are with out a dought beautiful. I love your decor, dress, colors. everything.. You looked amazing.. Wow just wow..
