LCBride2007

hmmmmm, Nora!??! lol where aaaarrreee youuuuuu?

today is the last day to enter!! this is going to be a tough one - it sounds like there are lots of entries.

**BUMP** There will be another newsletter coming out in the near future ... so don't forget to sign up if you haven't already!

congrats girls! i will send you the "getting to know you" questionnaire soon!

the photog. was the first thing i did, but we didn't use one through LC. as for teh actual details that LC provides (decor, ceremony, etc.) that we finalized just a couple week before teh wedding. but my whole timeline was shorter than most i think - i booked LC in Nov. 2006 and married in June 2007.

i totally got tears in my eyes reading this - how sweet!

The same thing (junior back to noob) just happened to me. Thanks! as far as i know these are still the rules (quoted above)

this is what we did ... and it worked out perfectly! my mom, sister, and bf were with me the day of, helping me get ready, etc. but nothing official. it's less stress on them too, they don't have to pay even more money for the special clothes, etc.!

it looks like there are just a few more days to enter this contest ... good luck to everyone!

this sounds like so much fun! i wish i could come just to crash the party!

I wasn't going to respond, but I was called out! lol Yes, my doctor gave me the "ok" to travel up to 34 weeks. So I was in CA (I live in MN) at week 31. Well, Gwen was ready to show up regardless of where I was! So I gave birth where I was ... in CA! And now I am in England pregnant with #2 ... you can bet I won't be traveling anywhere after a few months! lol I will be getting a 1 way ticket home and staying put! Trisha does bring up some good points that you dont' think about before having a child. I skipped out on our friends' DW because of Gwen, and she was about a year old. Paul went, but I stayed home with Gwen. The main reason I stayed home is because it wouldn't have been a very relaxing vacation for me/us. - I was still breastfeeding, so there's that (having to nurse in a bikini? eh, no thanks), and limited drinking. - I CANNOT sleep in the same room as her so that would mean dropping lots of $$ on a 1/2 BR suite or something. - She still naps and goes to bed early, so one of us would be spending lots of time in the hotel room. - And what is there for a toddler to do in Mexico? Not a whole lot - so we'd have to be speding our days entertaining her and making sure she doesn't fall into the pool/ocean! Those are just a few reasons that I chose not to go.

please let us know which links (or which mods) don't work as well. thanks!

have you posted a review? it would be a bit more helpful to know exactly what happened! so sorry you had a bad experience.

Wow, Nora, this is very generous of you ... someone will be VERY lucky!

This is the fun announcement we were talking about in our MotM threads ... the MotMs will be interviewed and have their own article in the newsletter. It's a great way to get to know individual members!

I know that the OP's wedding has already passed, but I wanted to say that this is what I did ... I walked down the aisle part way, met my dad at the top of the stairs, then met my mom at the bottom of the stairs and the 3 of us walked down the "actual" aisle. here you can see the stairs in the background - my dad was waiting at the top for me, and my mom at the bottom.

Perhaps you need to try searching again, I get tons of results (70, to be exact) simply when searching on the word "veil" within the Wedding Attire & Rings sub-forum. Also, in that section there is a sticky that conveniently points you in the right direction for many popular threads for that topic: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...-photos-33890/

it's been said - but it's only important if YOU care about it! to me, not at all important. mine is a diamond eternity band (platinum). his is a celtic ring (white gold). we both love our rings!

Ok, I must use what you said as an example. You were overwhelmed with the search results, so you posted a new thread. This is the exact reason we try to avoid creating new/duplicate threads, so that the next person that comes along isn't overwhelmed. It's a vicious cycle. We want this forum to be useable and NOT overwhelming, which is why we enforce our rules as we do. and I wanted to add something, and this is mostly directed at Woodsylou, since she asked. But this is for anyone that questions why we do what we do. when you join a forum, or any organized group for that matter (online or not), there are often rules. you are expected to read/know/understand these rules before participating. if you choose to not educate yourself on these rules, it is your choice but you can't expect to be given any slack because you made that choice. can you tell a police officer that you didn't know the speed limit and expect to be let off? not likely. my guess is that you also won't get a very friendly response. extreme example, i realize, but same point. please read the rules before participating. if you have questions, do a search to see if that question has already been answered. it's quite simple. we try to make this forum as easy to understand and navigate as possible. as others have said, we (the admin and moderators) are all very busy as well. we have jobs, kids, responsibilities ... lives. we can't (and don't want to, honestly) take the time to explain every rule AGAIN to every new member that chooses not to read the rules beforehand. when we do have to do that, you'll have to excuse us if we might come off as a little frustrated, or short. you probably would be as well.

I've moved this thread to the appropriate section (from the Newbies sub-forum). And I won't add much more since others have said it quite well - there's a reason behind all of these rules, and there's a reason we don't like duplicate threads everywhere. I challange you to find another wedding planning forum organized as well as this one is!

She was commenting/complaining about the forum and people were responding.

you could try this photog - he mentions he's offering deals since he's just getting started in the DW photography world http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...grapher-51834/

Quote: Originally Posted by IMPPEARL I feel for you completely! Your happy for them obviously, but can't help feeling a little anxious!? To make a long story short my FI has 3 sisters 2 of whom are now prego, 1 of which is in my wedding party. She'll only be about 3 months along, but she is only a month along now and already starting to show. I'm just hoping that she'll fit into her dress, its already as big as it can go! I don't know what I'll do if it doesn't fit... As for his other sister she'll be about 52 weeks along... but at least she is still going. With the new pregnancy and all they said they couldn't afford to go at all, so my FI asked his parents to not get us a wedding gift and help his sister to attend. Her husband is staying home with the other 2 kids and she is joining us with the help of her parents. He loves his family and wants them to all be there, it just sucks that he had to give up them helping us out with some of the cost. But understandable all the same. oops - i think that's a typo ... pregnancies are only 40 weeks long! i know some people go overdue, but that seems a bit much! lol

welcome to the forum!

i saw a face too - i actually couldn't figure out what that was at first (the flower) - maybe it's too much of a close up?
