Yeah, Matt's pretty small and we want all the guys to wear the same shirt. Going vintage would've been cool though! But I like the deeper blue that you posted, Tami. I do think I want something more on the bright side, cuz it needs to look good with the girls dresses. Aqua or turquoise. I like the one that Matt liked, but it's so pale....

Tropical Jamaica Bride Jr. Ringer T-Shirt : wedding : CafePress.com#

Danielle - I got them from Nordstrom's and Dilliards. The ones I got from Dilliards, they had to ship from Louisianna. I haven't regretted it once though. I bought them last May! I can't find them on Dilliard's anymore, but here's Nordstroms - Adrianna Papell Floral Silk Halter Dress - Adrianna Papell - Nordstrom

Ohhh, Tami, I like that one! This site hadn't come up in my searches! I will send this to Matt and see what he thinks... It's closer to the color then the baby blue one he liked. Here is a color closer to what I thought, but Matt didn't like it...

So I originally thought I wanted Matt and his GM's to wear a white shirt and tan pants. Then, I think it was AnnR, said how most all of the men guests wore that to the wedding, so almost all the men were wearing the same thing. I gathered a bunch of pics to see what Matt liked and he picked out this one: http://www.cubanboutique.com/shop/details.cfm?product=132&group=133 I like it, but I was hoping for something a little brighter/deeper blue to match with our colors - blue, orange and fuschia. The girls are wearing the dress below and I thought having the blue with it would look complimentary without being matchy-matchy. Anyone see any nice blue shirts? I am having a hard time finding any that I like enough to be THE wedding shirt!

Mini Sombreros , Latham Trading Post Mini Sombrero Mini Mexican sombrero - eBay (item 370003359633 end time Jan-05-08 16:08:21 PST) That's a super cute idea, good luck in your hunt!

I have one of those glue-runners, or something like it, and they are great! What is the company you are using for these invites? I like the idea of doing it myself, but am afraid of the actual printing part...

Ohhhhh, I see it now. Jenn, you can totally check second hand stores. I bought a huge bag of shells there the other day! None that would work for this project. Also, A C Moore and Michael's and places like that have them, or I should say had that cuz I am not sure if they still do. But I know I have bought them from stores like that before.

Jenn - come on! You know better? We need to see pics. that sounds so cute!

I bought 2 white ones in AC Moore (I think that store anyway). But I would say that AC Moore, Micheal's, Joann's. Perhaps they will come out soon, when they begin bringing out spring items. At the bottom of this site, there area bunch of links - Ring Bearer Pail for Beach Wedding - LoveToKnow Weddings. However, I bought mine in AC Moore and it was super cheap, a package of two.

I didn't want white either when I was shopping. I wanted champagne or gold, and ended up with an antique-y looking ivory. I am surprised you are having trouble, but maybe Christine is right and you will have more luck as the winter goes away. (Winter, PLEASE GO AWAY! I am freezing!)

Checking them out now, cuz they are supercute!

Congrats, Michelle! I think picking a dress is one of the hardest decisions to make. Love the material, and glad you are happy with it, cuz all that matters is YOU FEEL BEAUTIFUL!

Ohhh, I never blogged before. But that's cool! Now something else to keep me from work. I should just quit now before they fire my ass!

Kate, that is just wrong. I hate reading your posts about this, b/c it does seem so obvious they knew what you were planning. Glad getting it out makes you feel better! That's what we are here for!

Tammy - this is a great idea and I look forward to putting some work into it! Thanks for all you do!

I am treating my AHR as I would if it were my actual reception, but I think you can do whatever you want. If you don't want what your MIL wants, don't do it! Here are my answers... Did you wear your dress the entire time/at all, etc? Oh, I can't WAIT to wear my dress to both my wedding in Jamaica and my reception at home!! Did you have your wedding party dress a certain way, sit in a special place (like all together) Part of our wedding party will be in what they wore to Jamaica. the girls that couldn't make it, I might just ask them to wear a certain color. We hired a photog, like a real wedding, so I want them to look good in the pics with the bridal party Did you do any of the first dances (again) Yes. We are going to do "fun" songs for Jamaica, like Bob Marley or something. Then for the AHR, we will go the more traditional route. Granted, we don't have ANY songs picked out. he keeps knocking my suggestions down w/o offering any! Did anyone make any toasts, or read any passages, etc.? I am sure people will make toast, but figured that would be up to them. Did you have a DJ, photographer, anything else? We will have everything - DJ or band, photog, possibly a videographer, driviing service of some sort, nice hotel after.

Wow, that location is incredible! They look great!

Lizz - you just made me cry. I am lucky enough to still have both parents, but that poem is really touching. Still blinking away the tears...

Great choice! That was my pick...

Something nice would also be various colors of pink. I love that look.

Yeah, my mom had some super-zilla moments when we were doing stuff. She still does, but I've learned to keep her a little more distant then my sister. BTW, I love your GM shirts, so don't listen to her! They don't get much more tropical then huge flowers! I actually just emailed my FI to see what he thinks about these shirts, but our girls dresses are printed, so I doubt these would be ok...

Ok, back at work finally and trying to zip Californian FB so I can have it on my home computer and I can't figure out how to do it! Usually, I just right click and tell it to compress with zip, but that option isn't there in my fonts folder. Is there something that I am a missing?

How exciting! I love your shoes and I really love the table settup! Great start to the pics!

I also think you should go to that whole in a wall bar! That is where it all started and I think that gives great meaning to the pics!
