Reality. I had so many dresses picked out on-line that I loved... and none of them looked good on me. But, that's OK, I love my dress!

Nope, not getting married there... but I'm getting married on April 11th too!!

I had to go shopping basically right away. We have a really short engagement and I didn't want to pay extra to rush order my dress. With your wedding being in early July you should probably go anytime between now and January.

OK, WOW! Nevermind how beautiful the dress is... you look wonderful!!!! You have to be so proud of yourself!

What kind of music do you like? Are you opposed to country?

She knows the wedding date is 2009 That's insane that it's booked already! Wow! Oh well, Tuesday is a great day to get married! Everyone gets married on Saturdays, a Tuesday will be fun.

Oh yeah... and share your engagement story We love those!

Welcome to the group! my advice... have fun with it! It can get really stressful at times, especially dealing with people in another country, but enjoy being engaged. And take full advantage of this forum. These women (and men) are SO valuable and helpful, even if it's not wedding related.

Wow! Those are really cute!!! Did your guests love getting them in the mail?

Well, I'm on the fence about buying them an actual gift... because I've spent a lot on them already and I consider that my gift! $1000 travel, $150 hair & makeup, $50 nails, $155 dress. Yeah... that's enough!

Really beautiful dress! I love the sparkle in the back!

I LOVE Medieval Times!!! Last time Shawn surprised me with the royal seats. In Chicago there are a few differences. You get the flag to wave around, you get assigned seats which are front row (I didn't have any dirt in my food or my face. Maybe because of where they placed us), you also got a free packet which had a program, book, and cd I think. Either way the food is AWESOME and the entertainment is great. He'll love it no matter what!

I will be going to Vistaprint. I actually got a few printed with our engagement photos on them for any gifts we get before the wedding. I am very pleased with them. For what i paid the quality is great. Of course I always use my "free upload" "free note card" coupons. With that 50 cards with envelopes is $35.

Wow Stephanie! Those look really nice! I love your colors... and I like the cheap pink ribbon! Can't wait to see what the nice stuff looks like

We decided to register in January. We figure we will run less of a chance of merchandise being out of stock after Christmas... or at least that is Shawn's way of postponing it My shower will be in Feb. so I think January will be fine.

Personally, for photo I like the unlimited coverage. I don't want to stress about how many hours I need. At the end of the day I don't want to look back and say "I wish my photographer would have stayed for the cake cutting" or have a moment pass where someone says "where is your photographer for this? It would make a great photo." Video on the other hand I think hourly would be what I am looking for. I don't want to spend a lot of money on a video since realistically I will probably watch it five times in my life and four of them will be the week I get back! So I would like a VERY affordable hourly rate in which I can choose to only tape the ceremony so I can hear our vows again. Just my two cents.

If you use just the white starfish I think it'd be VERY Beautiful! Perhaps have a black table runner and then have white starfish and hurricane glasses with white candles burning. I think it'd be a BEAUTIFUL classy beach theme.

Oh i love engagement stories! That is SO sweet and funny how you didn't catch on to anything! How amazing!

Englad...WOW! That must have been really exciting! You should tell us how he popped the question!

It should clearly say on the tube if it has SPF in it. If you are going for protection you will want at least 15 or 30. The ones with 4 spf really don't do anything.

We do white lights and all kinds of ornaments that have been collected/given/passed down over the years. i love it! And Shawn does an amazing job with the lights. There are literally like 20 strands of lights on the tree and it's SO beautiful!

I too love new wedding places! Your avitar pictures looks beautiful! I can't wait to see the rest!

Wow, that sucks! Really bad! I agree, contact upper management at the hotel. That is just wrong! Well, at least you are happily married now and it sounds like you do have a lot of good memories from your vacation.

I really like your blog! nice work.
