LCBride2007

CONGRATULATIONS, Jason and Karen. I wish you two all the best - and can't wait to hear how everything went. I hope you had the most romantic, private ceremony ever! And a special thanks to our most active groom yet!

Welcome to the forum! I love the 8/8/08 date (heehee, that ryhmes!), and really like the idea you have w/the infinity sign - very clever and will make for some great monograms, invites, or whatever!

i think that is the one i was thinking of ... though i swear there was another for all general info. oh well, if neither of us can find it, i can't imagine any newbie could! lol

congratulations, Nicole! hopefully you had a wonderful time, despite all the hiccups! i can't wait to hear all about it - and of course .... the pictures! oh, and especially the starfish pic!

Ok, I'll play too ...

these may be the same sources, but here is what i used for the start of mine. paul did the final product though - but here's our start. Many of them we got off of this site: Wedding Planning Coloring Book1.doc Coloring Book2.doc Coloring Book3.doc Coloring Book4.doc Coloring Book5.ppt

oohh - i do think there is one somewhere! or maybe it was just to list our photographers? let me see if i can find or (or maybe Courtney will find it first!) I like the idea though ... definitely!

Thanks ladies! it's tough to search for someone else without knowing their style! but at this point i will do about anything to procrastinate doing my work! hopefully it at least gives you more ideas of where to look if you don't like the actual dresses. i just love a challange!

congratulations!! honestly, this is what wedding are all about. or SHOULD be all about. brides (some of us, myself included!) get so caught up in the "show" and appearance of the wedding, that we forget what is really happening. you look so happy, you had your FI, son, and special people by your side - and you married the man you love. i mean, that's awesome! it looks like the perfect wedding to me! whew - not sure where that came from. but i loved these pictures!

wow - perfect dress, it looks awesome on you too. does it even need alterations?

i think it sounds like an awesome story! very sweet, and genuine!

i think the morning boat left at 9am

There was a wedding every night when I was at Dreams PV - and they all seemed like they were in different locations (gazebo, beach, pool, etc.)

Ok, we'll figure this out! I don't know when the sun sets in January, but here are some pictures from LC weddings in that timeframe to give you an idea what it would look like. I think they still look great! I think this was early Jan - late Dec based on what I got it? http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...-fred-soo.html Ali & Jeff (1/17/2007): http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...s-wedding.html or jeffandali.org Linsday & Ed (2/14/2007): http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...ding-pics.html

I haven't read some of the previous posts - so I apologize if this is a duplicate. I definitely did more than Paul - no doubt. But I gave him specific responsibilities and said they were all him - if he didn't do them, they just wouldn't happen. They were things that he cared about more than I did - I gave him total responsibility over the music, and then everything about the honeymoon and legal ceremony (he arranged it all). This way he felt like he had a part in the big day as well. I also had him help me w/some of the DIY stuff - like he made all of the kids coloring books, and he also did a lot of cutting for me with teh iron of stuff. I didn't have him tie bows or anything though! I definitely got frustrated at times. My thing was, I was fine with just going to the local courthouse and getting married. If I ever felt like he wasn't helping enough - I'd remind him that this is for US - not me, I'd be happy just walking downtown and getting married. That usually was enough!

that's the site that i searched daily for my Lazaro dress - but never found it. and that's the site where i will list my dress once i am ready to sell it. i think that's the site TammyB just listed her dress too!

I've booked a great photographer for my wedding in Jamaica....she's doing our DVD also. If you want to PM me or email me at [email protected] I will be glad to give you her email address and links to her websites so you can see some of her work. She lives in Jamaica....which I think is a plus. Also, she doesn't have set photo packages or prices......she customizes her packages for each couple and will work with whatever budget you have. She came highly recommended to me....and after emailing and talking on the phone with her, I know we made the right decision. you can absolutley give out a vendor's name that you used - we're all about sharing helpful info. like that!

oh, you beat me fair and square - that's fine, i can handle defeat!

welcome to the forum! i love that you already have pictures up - A+
