Tami thats a real cute idea, and we know there are a few ladies that have probably looked into actually flying there pooches into Mexico or wherever they are having there wedding just so they could be a part of it lol. This might be an easier way to include the pups in the ceremony somehow.

Great job! I love it and the pictures are such a nice personal touch!

OK, so I see that some websites will put the monogram on your OOT bag for you...... Am I being a lazy ass!!! Because I've only heard a couple people say that they did it themselves I am wondering....... How many of you did or will do your own monogram transfer on your OOT bag and how many of you say or said screw it, let someone else do it!

I'm in the same situation and feel the same way. I went to a wedding last weekend and cried my eyes out when it was time for the father daughter dance....NOT like me at all, uh-oh big time deep rooted emotions surfacing watch out! Since the wedding I have vowed to myself to remember that my wedding is going to be about happy feelings and I am just going to try and make the best of it. For instance as for the father/daughter dance me and my two sisters will (at all 3 of our weddings) dance to Tim Mcgraws "my little girl" in a tribute to our father. And this way like you I wont feel like I am betraying my dad in anyway by dancing with another "father figure". I may have mentioned this before, but both of my parents have passed away. And had my wedding been here in NY there is an uncle that was very close with my dad that would have been the natural choice. But he is older now and sick, so he wont be making the trip. then in greece there is my mother's brother, who is also sick(he had a kidney transplant 20 yrs ago) and his health changes week to week. so he may not be able to make the 1/2 hr flight....but even if he was ok, we havent really had the best relationship.. better over the last couple of years, but not then there is my cousin...since my parents we older when they had me, i am the baby in the family, and my cousin is 30 yrs older than me....Actually he is my first cousin's husband, I grew up hanging out with them...although he has been around, not exactly parental. but even still it just feels wrong to have anyone else walk me down the aisle, almost like a betrayal to thier memory.. i know this is silly, but i can help feeling that...But in the same turn that like i said before i may just need someone next to me I feel the same way. I was trying to think of someone anyone that could walk me down the aisle but it really just felt wrong! I know it will be hard for you but you can do it, we are here to support you. I am walking half way down and than right where the guests seeting starts I will have fiance come get me and walk the rest of the way with him. That way I will walk myself down but still have fiance there to lean on when I have to walk the nerve wracking walk infront of everyone. Sorry for the long vent... thanks for reading, i just needed to get this out. -fo Hope this helped even a little

Congratulations!!!!! Yes May 2008 will be a month to remember I can feel it...lol

My sister in law has them and love them and she has had them for a few years now. They are very sturdy and add some color to the house.

Looks great

Congratulations and Welcome!

I can't see Juan doing anything trashy either, you're safe there. So does Ryan know you're doing this then?? Will he wonder why Juan is kicking him out of his own room an hour early??! Thats the problem, I am either going to tell him that Juan is comming at 5:00pm and that he will first take some bridal pics of me etc and than we will do the engagement pics (I can see Ryan falling for this, he doesnt know enough about weddings to question it, he will probably just think this is something every bride does) Ry would never guess in a million years that I would do bodouir pics, its just not me, which is why I'm doing it. Or I wont even tell him that Juan is comming at 5:00 and I will just tell him I have a surprise for him and have to meet with a wedding vendor and that he cant be around! and that Juan is comming at 6:00 and just meet me at the lobby then. I'm not sure this will fly though because this could get Ryan thinking and snooping. I think maybe the first option is my best bet. Quote: Originally Posted by foxytv I LOVE them all!!!

I have some nip action in the BD pics w/ one of my outfits and it looks sexy to me. hubba hubba Maybe your right, I will try them on and see how it goes. I definitly dont want the stickies showing through, but there is something about Juan seeing my nipples that makes me really uncomfortable. I dont mind a male photographer as long as I am still fully covering the "female" stuff lol.

Thanks again! I think I'm just going to buy a monogram and than do exactly that. I would love to save money and get creative but I just dont have the damn time.

Quote: Originally Posted by CourtneyV Are you going to show us some safe pictures when all is said and done? Out of curiousity, has Juan ever shot boudoir pictures before?? I'm incredibly interested to see his interpritation of it. Are you nervous at all? Yes I will show a few, I'm hoping all of them will be safe enough to show you girls. I keep stressing to Juan through e-mails that this needs to be really classy and not look trashy at all! No, Juan has never done bodouir pics before, I really just sort of mentioned it to him because we are getting engagement pics so now he is just going to come an hour earlier and do some BD pics. YES I'M SO DAMN NERVOUS ITS STARTING TO MAKE ME NOT LOOK FORWARD TO MY VACATION!

Oh Ok thanks ladies your a big help

Thanks, That does help but however leads me to my next stupid question. Do you than just print it out on paper and take it somewhere to be turned into an iron on transfer or a stamp or sticker? For instance how did you get your monogram from your computer onto you OOT bags?

Quote: Originally Posted by CourtneyV Jackie, when are you getting your bpics done?? Great choices, very classy. Juan is doing them while we are on our site visit the last week of September.

Thats OK though I'll just kill myself at the gym the next month, yuck just typing that makes want to grab a pizza and a beer and cry.

I dont understand when you girls say you "ordered 10 monograms" or you "designed 10 monograms".... I'm confused if I bought a monogram from one of those websites than what.... Do I have to buy 20 of them to transfer onto my OOT bags and than 50 more for my lumineers? or do I just get copys made? Is it a stamp that you order, is it a iron on transfer that you order? I'm so confused. Do you just order 1? I dont get it.

Super Cute

WE leave September 24th!!!!! I cant wait the first two days there will be pretty busy but honestly I'm just really looking forward to the last 2 days of total relaxation.

WElcome to the board. The el Dorado looks amazing!

You couldnt have said it better. For those of you allready married you know this is all to true and for those of us still planning our weddings.....try and keep this in mind, it seems to happen to every single bride on here.

The pictures are buetifull, hands down best gazebo ever is at Dreams Cancun. I'm glad you had fun and that your husband was able to help fix the DJ problem.

What do you think, this is what I will be wearing. YIKES! Oh and I also ordered some nipple covering sticky things so that my nipples wont show threw the ivory camisole. Outfit number 1, my attempt to be a sex pot lol. And outfit number 2. OOPs they allready took the piture off, it was onsale at victorias secret and really pretty kinda mexicany this probably most resambles it. Except its in ivory. I also have this but I'm not sure if I will wear it or not AND NO I WILL NOT ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE THESE MODELS. PICTURE THESE OUTFITS IN SOMEONE A FOOT SHORTER AND 5 POUNDS HEAVIER LOL.

Dont give up! I am only having 2 maids of honors/bridesmaids and those are my sisters that I know are going. All you have to do is some rearranging of your planning. The one thing different about DW's is that you might not be able to have the big bridal pary you would have had at a local wedding. Some people just wont be able to come, you dont have to have a big bridal party to have a great DW!!!!

Ok thank you ladies, I'm not really worried about it, rooms arent generally a big deal to me, we rarely spend much time in our romm when we are on vacation but Juan keeps reminding me how important it is for the bodour pics to have a decent room with decent lighting. I told him I'd try my hardest but I'm not willing to pay extra, it is after all just our site visit.

Christine those pics are great! You looked stunning!

Oh that was so buetifull! Keith Urbans song almost brought me to tears dammit.
