I didnt take any pics, I didnt bring the camera with me I have pictures of me in the dress but they don't do the dress justice and I look HORRIBLE. Gross I can't even beleive I posted that pic somewhere on the forum haha.(so t's out there somewhere, maybe in the "show us your dress" thread).

I hope you guys are having a woderful time celebrating your birthday! Don't forget to make a wish!

I went to the store, tried it on & then started my research. The store has the dress for $780 but they match & beat prices by 5% if you find the dress online for less. But all "Match" dresses are mail order only & you have to provide all of your measurments & know what size you want the dress ordered in as they will not do this for you. The one good thing is that they allow you to have the dress shipped to the store & then you can pick it up. So I found the dress online for $616. After the 5% I'd be looking at about $585. Saving $200 bucks has me excited but I'm just sooo nervous that something will go wrong!!! Your post does comfort me but I'm still hesitant for some crazy reason! Hey $200 is alot of money to me, especially since I've been pinching nickels the way I am. IMO I wanted a nice dress but it's hard to belive I will only wear this dress once (well twice for my TTD) and then put it away where it will never come out. I'm glad I helped you out. Did you find your dress on the site or another? Quote: Originally Posted by foxytv That's awesome!

It also comforted me that the company had the BB logo at top which put me at ease. I always do a google search on reputable businesses to like "scam bestbridalprices.com" .... I'm crazy when it comes to research I go full out!

well I alreayd know that theres a HUGE difference in 5 star mexican and 5 star american. I think the Riu will be like a 3.5 star on the American scale.... I worry alot about my 50 guests not having a good time but I think it's what you make of it. Ofcourse the hard beds will suck bu theres nothing you can do about it... I think there's a walmart REALY close by in Bucerias.(sp). I'm doing up my welcome newsletter this weekend and I plan on putting that stuff in there so i'll let ya know that as well.

I like that VS lingere. Nice, I always think it looks waaaay sexier on the models than myself. hmmm how much for the white one?

Awesome!! I'm so excited to see pics and hear all about the costa rica experience..... early congratulations!

Hey Shelley I like that 2nd one you just posted. Question how long do you think her hair was? Mine is 2 inches past my shoulders. I'm scared won't have enough hair to do an updo

So glad I found this again... I knew it would come handy....

I'm so proud of my FH, he got the warranty on the ring and it includes free ring cleaning for life. I love it, whenever I'm at the mall I stop by and they check it to make sure no stones are lose and clean it for me. It's so pretty after they're done.. it's a shame it gets dirty so fast

Good job ladies... hey what happenned to our WW thread? I loved that thread, it was great for support too!

Sweet story Vanessa, isnt it funny how fate works out in the end? Congrats on the engagement! We will be staying at the Riu Jalisco in october for our wedding so if you have any questions let me know, I'll do my best to find answers.

Thanks for the detailed review. It's a good heads up for those LV brides to be. I can't beleive they actually inquired on the tipping. That's so distasteful. You looked gorgeous in your dress and your hair looked really nice. You must be a hairdresser cuz it defintely scores an A plus for doing it on your own. Congratulations on becoming a Mrs!

hmm so you still haven't got a solution? Have you taken a look at Nordstroms yet?

I would like to see as well if you have a pic....

Yea it was one of those "moments" as in dumbass moments... hey jill I say go for it and call them, it's always nice just for peace of mind. I know I called about 2 weeks before it got here - just checking that the order is still on schedule.

I voted for "d", wasn't that your original choice? I like the cherry blossoms, and also it simple yet elegant. but I really like all of them.... another tough choice.

You 2 are so adorable, and look at your sultry eyes! Amazing... you must be really pleased with how they turned out. I can't wait to do our TTD photos... YIPPEEE seeing all these gets me all giddy

This is awesome Christine!! Congratulations. You must be so proud, give yourself a big pat on the back. I know you spent many hours/days planning your wedding... it look so beauiful too. They did a great job on presenting it.

Earing jackets? huh, never heard of those before. I really really adore them them. They look sooo nice on you. Thanks for the info. i'll let you know if I steal your idea

awww that's a crappy situation you and FH are in... I don't know what to say or recomend. So he bought a limo but can't pay for the 3 tickets? That's weird in my opinion. Well try as hard as you can not to let it create problems between you and FH. I know it's a rough spot to be in... that you shouldn't be in the first place BUT I guess time will only tell. Is FFIL a trustworthey guy? Has he had money issues in the past? Only reason I ask is that if he is trustworthy I wouldn't worry too much, I think he would pull through. If he's not I dunno maybe he talks the talk but doesn't come through. Ahhhh I don't know. i'm so sorry you're in this sticky spot. I hope it all works out. Keep us updated.

No, don't stop tammy, we want more! I love them... all of them even marty's expose lol Everything was so beautiful especially you. Very great romantic shots. Do you remember where you got yoru earings from? I love how you didn't wear a necklace.... but those earings are the perfect accessory. love em!

OMG that would suck.

Happy Belated birthday Monika!!!! That's cool having your Bday on the long weekend.
