Wow, I LOVE your dress -- it's ssoo beautiful! And that Bling will go with it PERFECTLY!!!!

Here are pics from the WC at PPC. I'm guessing the gazebo is new b/c I've never seen it before and was bummed that there was not one at the resort. Now, I'm stoked! I love the stone walkway! I just hope it's not hell on my heels (weebles wobble) -- but at least I'll have my Dad to hold me up as we walk down the aisle. lol More pics of ceremony and reception sites, flowers and cake options are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/weddingsppc/sets/

She just sent me all of that too. I guess I need to ask her since we already have $150 non-refundable deposits from 44 guests ($6600!!!) if we are cool with the deposit. The forms she sent don't include the A La Carte options, which is what we are doing -- so I guess I'd better start from scratch with Viviana to make sure everything remains the same. Seems like she is pretty on top of things! Hopefully she will stick around! The gazebo looks new. They didn't have one before, so this is great! I wanted a gazebo but was okay with the gardens ... now we can have the best of both worlds!!!

I think I might buy some small gift bags to put everything in because I also bought everyone a paper fan and bubbles! Anyway, discountmugs.com was great! And I did great with the CDN Exchange rate, but Customs did ding me $84 when they got here, grrrrrrr. I wa splanning to go all out with travel mugs and OOT bags, but our overall wedding cost is changing my plans, unfortunately. So, we are likely going to get the travel mugs and fill them up with sample packs of aspirin, imodium, pepto, small aloe gels, chapstick, and a small lotion (depending on what will fit) and then putting the mugs into clear plastic gift bags with the a name tag tie and Welcome Letter inside.

I'm TOTALLY bummed! #1 and #4 are already SOLD OUT. Geez!!! Back to the drawing board, I guess. I think we will just have to collect everyone's sizes and order all at once once we find something to ensure everyone can get them. You know how people procrastinate. I still have have one BM who hasn't ordered her dressARRGGHH!

I like #1 or #4, but also #3 ... but you ladies have helped me narrow it down! What do you think about different shirts for our Dad's? And when Tom changes from his Military Blues during the ceremony to khakis for the reception .... do you think he should wear the same shirt as the Dad's or GM ... or a different shirt?

Hand Calligraphy & Illumination: Marriage Certificates, Wedding Contracts, Ketubot This is a bit pricey -- but it would be exactly what you want... They have a ketuba sample and it sounds like they are awesome at incorporating your unique theme / design / idea. Here's the link for the Ketuba certificate: Multi-lingual Ketubah with birds and flowers

No idea -- but my TA is going in December, so I'll add that to her list of things to check outnd let us know about! Have you had to sign a contract and make a payment. The former WC, Laikin, never asked for this -- but Viviana just emailed it all to me today. We already have 25+ rooms booked through our TA, so I didn't think I needed to put down an additional deposit? We have 50 people coming so far -- so I'love to know the differences in room types!

Our guests loved them, they kept trying to guess the band and song name. It was fun and still let people talk and listen to songs they liked, just differently. Some might think its a terrible idea, but we loved it and so did our guests, so I thought I should post it in case someone else thinks its as great as well did. We had Tool (one of my fave bands), Metallica, U2, Cold Play, Nirvana and Beatles. We wanted Nine Inch Nails but could not find it in the stores near us. How totally cool! FH will LOVE this idea and our guests will get a TOTAL kick out of this! I'm definitely going to look into this!!!!

Welcome! I'm getting married at PPC in Punta Cana! Congrats and glad to have another DR bride on BDW!!! You are in good company!

You get a gold star -- but you do put your name on the card! (your BDW name "Lady P" and your real name if you want!)

Okay ladies .. We've narrowed it down ... but want some input before making the final decision. We're looking for shirts that will complement the BM dresses, which are champagne in color. The guys will be wearing the shirts with khaki pants. #1 (color in this photo looks odd, but it's a beige trim, not orange) #2 #3 #4

Mine is going out this week! Yeah!!!

Your current siggy pic "Chika Chika Yea Yea" looks awesome. And it would be VERY manageable in the wind@!!!

I am currently working on my playlist. I copied into MS Word lots of the playlists posted on here and am weeding through those as I put mine together, picking what I like and adding it to my playlist. Here's the lists I copied, but I'd look in the music thread and see for yourself too b/c there are tons more I didn't get to put on here. wedding music and songs.doc

Holy crap, those dresses are BEAUTIFUL!!!! I LOVE them both! I think the 2nd would be very flattering on just about any figure -- and it draws atttion to the bustline and away from the hips (a dream design for me!!!). However, I would not buy one without trying it on, b/c all the dresses i LOVED -- didn't do a thing for me when I tried them on and the dresses I never cared for are the ones I narrowed it down to b/c of how flattering they were when I tried them on. I think you should be okay waiting until January to try it on and order it.

That's great! Wow -- you are spending wwaayy more on your Bridal Party gifts than I can afford. yowza! Wish I could do the same!!!

Yep, let us know! I can buy the whole lot if the price is right!

Definitely keep us posted about how they turnout. I'm going to try the Revitalash that my stylist recommended. I guess not many people in my area offere the extenions and those who do aren't very good at it. She says even at her sylist conventions in NY and ATL, they recommend the Revitalash ... so I'll get it over the holidays and keep you posted on the outcome!

Some of these look like bad prom gowns, some slutty (er, daring) dresses, others not so bad with a few alterations (like getting rid of the floppy circle bolero or nixing the ruffles).

ha! You showed him! Tell him he better stop snooping at your wedding stuff!!!

Beautiful! Yep, I am in love with that sexy pose in the water! I hope FH and I can pull that off!!!!

Hot mama! I LOVE IT! I hadn't thought of sexy bridal shots ... but I think that will get added to my list!!! WOW!
