Sarah

My cake didn't really look very impressive, but that's probably my fault. We both didn't really care about the cake, so I didn't put much planning into it. We just had the resort do our cake. Cabo has some cake makers that do much prettier cakes! But, it was cheap and tasted great, so that's what matters I guess.

Here's mine:

My dress was lined, and you couldn't see through it. It totally depends on the type of dress. My dress just was falling down (strapless) and clingy (sheath style)! We did this: And then this...so here's how you look after your dress (and YOU!) get soaked: I don't have many great close-ups of my dress at the end (it was getting dark and very cold very fast!) but here's kinda an outline. I think my dress did fine. The biggest thing that I see about it is that my dress kept falling down after we got out of the water, and was making my back fat look worse! lol This is not one of my favorite pics of the night...

MMMMMM.....We had the best yummy tres leches with white chocolate and strawberries between the layers. It was awesome! Our guests are still raving about it. In fact, we went to a birthday part yesterday of one of our guests, and his wife made him tres leches because he requested it right after our wedding:) I loved my wedding cake!

That is too funny!

Happy Birthday Morgan! Hope you have a great day!

I also had minimal hassle getting everything changed. It really isn't a big deal. I'm about 95% Mrs. S...... now!

Happy Birthday Loreta! Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Here's a good pic of the vessels I used:

Aww, hugs to you Erica! You are such a sweetheart and we are so happy to have you here! Welcome to the "official" planning stage! lol

Have you checked out Used wedding dresses. New, sample & used designer gowns. Buy & sell online. I think that's where TammyB listed hers

Dang girl, that's some serious bling! Congratulations Erika, I'm so excited for you!!

Fixed it Glenda! Woohoo! My first task as a super moderator...lol Congratulations Andrea & Erik! I know you will have a wonderful wedding. I can't wait to hear all about it! Have fun with Christa & R there too...

I LOVE the blue! Looks fantastic on you!

Looks great Lisa! I love all the curls, and the flower is really cute!

My e-ring, and both our wedding bands are insured through our home-owner's insurance. The company we use is escaping me right now, Hanover maybe? Anyway, the insurance company had to have copies of the original appraisals on hand before they would insure it. I'm not sure what our rate is per thousand, but I think my e-ring costs like $180 a year, and our wedding bands were another $80 or so. When you consider the cost of replacing the ring it's not bad.

Remember, they don't have to be fabulous wedding pics. They can be engagements pics, random pics...whatever you want your sig to be.

If you would like a siggy please submit the following to this email address: [email protected]: 1. colors/fonts you like 2. your name, wedding date and location 3. any special requests/style 4. include the pics you would like used Please keep remember that these siggies are made by volunteers so you must be patient. Also, you are only allowed 1 revision. Here are some samples of siggies to give you an idea of what they look like:
