I think the dress is stunning, but I think you should wait to order it since you have more than a year and it was your first time out, you might fall in love with another dress in the meantime, so keep looking, and if this is truly the one you will come back to it and order. Just don't jump to buy the first one you fall in love with, or you might be like many of the girls on here and end up buying more than one dress.

I did it 2 days after my wedding and I did it in my actual wedding dress, I did not buy a TTD dress. I went to the hairdresser at the resort and asked her to do something with my hair and she made it look great, and I did my own make-up. I loved it and highly recommend it.

Wow, your pictures are stunning. You look amazing and sooo happy. Great pictures Amy, you must be sooo excited about them. How will you pick between them.

I have to ask her what she is asking for exactly because it does seem really high.

I can't believe Sabrina died, I can, but at the same time I can't. I think it was too soon, I felt they should have kept her around a little longer. Nicki's dreams are super creepy and I hope she doesn't start drinking again. I wish Chole would drop dead, I hate what she is doing to Cain and Lilly. I can't wait till she gets caught. Is she actually pregnant or just making it up? Does anyone know. I like Neil and this new girl together, not him and what's her name, I don't like her. Also, I thought Drew was coming back, anyone know anything about that. Creepy Adam is going to go by Victor now, strange, I don't like that plot at all.

I have no idea what Maternity Insurance even is, so I can't help you at all. Does it cover your medical expenses while you are pregnant and when you have the baby? We don't pay for any of those things here, so I don't even have an idea of what things cost. Sorry, I wish I could help you out, actually in this situation I am glad I don't know the answers

OMG Liz, that is so crappy. I feel so bad for you. I thought only being able to take tylenol when I had migraines was bad, but this is sooo much worse. Is there nothing at all that you can take? You are in your first trimester as well right? That means you probably can't take anything else. I really hope it heals fast. Are you going to be off work for a while?

Its not a DW, its a wedding here, so we are going to use real flowers. I did check Martha Stewart, but I am having a hard time finding anything. Thanks for your idea's ladies, I am going to read those links now and hope I can find something that helps me.

Can anyone help me find a website with how to instructions for making bouquets? We got a quote for my friends weddings and the BM bouquets are super expensive. I have made them before, for my sister's wedding and everyone loved them, but I need new idea's for this wedding, so if anyone has any sites or tips, they would be greatly appreciated.

I have the total opposite of constipation.....for like 2 months already! UGH! I got my results the next day, I did have an appointment the next day though, so that could be why I got so lucky. Lisa do you just have to wait for you appointment to find out? or are they saying it takes them 3 weeks to process?

Maura, Toronto is awesome. Its so much fun and there is soooo much to do and amazing places to eat and shop. I agree that Montreal is more romantic, but Toronto is more fun, so it depends on what you are looking for. At the same time, Toronto can be very romantic. Like the 360 restaurant at the top of the CN Tower is a very romantic and great place to eat. I can also recommend many cool shops on Queen Street West and great places to eat. There are lots of shows to take in, we have Dirty Dancing right now which I have heard great things about. Its just a funky fun city with lots of cool stuff to do. So, if you do decide to come here, please message me and we can get a plan set up for you, or just give you lots of ideas of things to do. There is also a really cool bus tour of the city that you could go on that tells you lots of history and cool things about the city that most people don't know. So I saw come come come to Toronto and message me and I can get a feel for where you want to go and what you want to do and help you out with that.

Number 2 for sure, it makes you look more hourglass and good curvy. I think you look stunning in it.

I have to watch tonight for sure, its crazy. I think Sabrina will lose the baby and I am hoping David is dead. That would work for me, I never liked David. I also wish Chole and Amber were in the other car and died as well. lol I know that is not the case, but can't we just let Lilly be happy and her can Cain get married already? I hope Nicky is okay, but I am sure she will be, they would not kill her off. Also, when in the hell did Summer get so huge. I don't watch it for like a month and she went from baby to a 5 year old, WTH? What does Fen look like, have we seen him lately? Oh, and when did Lauren get those huge fake boobs. Could they try any harder to show them off and could she have got ones that looked any more fake? She was beautiful before, I am not sure why she felt she needed those.

We're travelling to Cuba the weeke of October 24-31, 2009. I was just wondering how I go about picking the actual wedding date. October 24 was my wedding date I picked the Wednesday just because I had read a lot and all the superstitions with respect to wedding's said Wednesday was the luckiest day So just pick the day that works for you. What resort are you getting married at? Maybe we can help you find the info for the WC at the resort.

Hey, sorry I am so late on this. You have to do the legal vows first, that is what makes it legal, and then you can do what you want after. We did a sand ceremony right after the legal vows and my MIL conducted it. It was perfect and just the personal touch we wanted. The vows were so legal and not romantic or personal at all, so we felt we needed to do something, and we are very happy that we did. I hope that helps.

Just an FYI, ours was different, not sure if they have changed since our wedding, or since this was created, but ours was longer and talked about more things. So you might want to ask your resort to give you a copy of what they have as I am guessing it is different in different areas of the country or just depending on who is conducting the ceremony. I wish ours was that short it was not super long, but longer than that.

I am sure I have told you this before, but if you need anything or have any questions, please feel free to ask me. Its an amazing place to get married, our wedding was completely perfect. I am excited for you and can't wait to see your pictures.

Remember, you need to be in Cuba for 72 hours before they can legally marry you. We are departing on a Saturday and are booked in to be wed on Wednesday afternoon! That depends on where you get married, we got married in Holguin and we did not need to be there for any certain amount of time beforehand. So look into it depending on where in Cuba you are getting married. I say start making a website, if you want to go that route and send out your save the dates, this way people know where you are going and get excited about it and will start saving money and booking when they can I contacted our wedding coordinator directly and set the date and time well in advance, just to make sure no one else had our date and that I got the time I wanted, so its not to early to do that, as long as you have already booked. What resort are you getting married at? Do some searches online and you should be able to find the WC's email address. Check trip advisor as well. Happy Planning.

Welcome Annie, that is so exciting. An Alaskan Cruise sounds amazing. I can't wait to see the pictures. Happy Planning.

I did the OOT bags and spent a lot of money on them, but I must tell you my guests all LOVED them. I got thanked many many times over. All the women wore the flip flops and pashminas I got them and they all used the bag and still do. The men loved that they got a bag to carry stuff around and down to the beach because none of them even thought about that. They loved the stuff I put inside because we put our logo on all of it, so they have keepsakes from their trip and our wedding. So while it was a lot of money and a lot of work, I highly recommend them as a way of thanking guests for coming. I think you need to do something, and this is much cheaper than paying for a excursion or something like that, so its much more budget friendly. At the same time, no one is expecting them either, so if you can't fit it into your budget, do not stress about it, you are the only one who knows about them, so no one will be upset if they don't get one. Does that make sense?
