But, since Ann sold the other ones, 6 will not be enough. I know Jilly is looking for a few more though.

I think I will take all of the fans. I just need to look and make sure that is enough. It will be hard to get more if I need more. So, I am going to check my list of women coming and make sure its enough.

Welcome Anne Marie, you will find lots of great information on this site and will have a blast planning.

That is the best dress EVER, I wish mine did that. If I asked my seamstress to make any more changes to my dress though she might faint, its totally not going to look like the same dress already Pics are beautiful, you look sooo great.

That is a tough question because ALL of my guests used my travel agent. I would suggest you tell them to call your agent and tell them the price they found somewhere else and see if your TA can honour that. My TA said she would honour anyone's prices, as long as they were legitimate prices.

This one is close by as well. David's Bridal 3333 W. Henrietta Rd. South Town Plaza Rochester, NY 14623 Phone:(585) 475-0410 Alteration: (585) 475-0421

I also wanted to mention that if you have a Party Packagers anywhere near you, you should visit on a regular basis. Right now they have bamboo beach mats for $0.79 and flip flops for $1.29 and bamboo torches for $1, plus lots of OOT bag stuff.

This is the David's Bridal store I got my dress at: 1204 Niagara Falls Blvd. Marvin Gardens Plaza Tonawanda, NY 834-6101 (716) 834-6101

I sent a little letter on nice paper with my travel agent's info. I put our logo on the top of the paper and just a little note on the rest. I say put something in, that way they know how to book.

I got my butt to the gym today after a long weekend away. lol I did total body weights and 50 mins of cardio. I also go to see my trainer tomorrow at 8:30 AM. So, I am working on it.

I did not read anyone else's replies before I voted, but found out that I am going with the crowd on this one. They all look great on you, but number 1 is stunning. You look amazing and its just perfect, I do not know what else to say. lol

I also love love love 16! I could not get much futher than that though, for some reason snapfish does not work so well on my pc.

picture number 12 is breathtaking, I have not got any further yet, I just had to stop to tell you that. Wow.

We are not registering and are not having any showers. But, we are not having an AHR. If we were, I would be registering and having a shower, but I do not want my guests who are paying to come to my wedding to also buy me a gift on top of it. So, in short, I would if I was having an AHR, we are not, so we are not registering or having showers. I hope that helps.

Thank you so much for that post Matt, I am sure that will help a lot of people make decisions about the place and hopefully go elsewhere.

I think with the skin tone you described, as we can not really see it in the pics, I would go off white or ivory. I am a little on the pale side and blonde and blue eyed, so I knew I was going off white, white is strong and I do not think it suits me. That is me though, so that is how I voted. I like the second dress better on you.

I nominate Edyta, she is so sweet and so nice and always has the right thing to say, and she offerd to lend me her veil cause of my situation, that was too kind. for BTB I nominate Jilly76 - she offered to give me her veil that she can no longer use, for FREE. She is always very sweet and very helpful and always has something nice to say. Those are my votes, but I love you all.

Welcome to the forum. You are going to love it here. I am also from Canada and we have a few threads for us Canadian brides, where abouts are you located? Again, welcome!!

I have a few sites, I have not used them yet, but probably will. Also, I ordered my STD's from Magnet Street MagnetStreet magnetic calendars business card magnets custom refrigerator magnet and the shipping was cheap and fast, I think $8 or something like that. Creative Bag I will try to locate my other sites, can't see them right now. I got my dress at the David's Bridal in Buffalo, so if anyone needs to know where it is or has any questions, I can help with that.

Those are great pictures, you looked so happy and so in love and everyone looked like they had a great time. What more can a couple ask for.

Ummm...I love MAC, love it. I took a personal make-up course at a college in Toronto and they taught us using mostly MAC because it is what they think is the best for personal make-up and photographey. So, I would not listen to the people who say it sucks and try it out for yourself first. Go there, ask them to put some foundation and powder on you, they do this for free, they will tell you what shades to use, and then you buy it and take it home and try it and if you don't like it, you bring it back and get your money back, no questions asked. I have returned a few things cause they did not look good on me, and I just got my money back (well, I could have, but I got other things instead). So, I am a pro MAC girl

I have had a hard time finding shops that carry DW style dresses and if I want one I would have to order without ever trying it on. This scares me. But I do love this dress. For those that were married in the sun, did you find a light weight dress or was the heat bearable with a heavier one? I just don't want to spend all the money to be miserable because it's too hot. This is a beautiful dress, I am partial though, cause its my dress. lol I did not get it though Maggie though, I got it through David's Bridal, but its identical. Here is the link to the one I bought David's Bridal - Bridal Gowns T9211 Swiss dot tulle A-line with beaded lace appliqué, satin empire band, and lace up back. I love it. I am having a few things done to it, but it will look mostly the same. I took out one layer of crinolin and the back panel, so that will help a little, and yes it is heavy, but I do not care cause I love it. lol That is me though.

Okay, I have not read anyone else's posts yet, I just wanted to say these are STUNNING!!! Ann you look amazing, you and Paul look soooo happy. I just want to say that pictures 74, 86, 104, 106, 107 really wowed me. 106 and 107 you guys look so happy and in love and I got all teary. I love them. Great job Leigh!!

Ann, you look stunning, I would never have known that you were ill, its amazing.

Sorry I do not have many ideas in these colours, but I will see what I can find for you. These are the two I have. and this one you could easily add some sage swirls to, or sage piping on the bottom of each tier (where the brown icing is).
