We would love to incorporate the uniform, but thought it would be a pain to get to Aruba. Any advice would be appreciated! Again, congrats on a beautiful wedding and getting married! Yes, he is in the Army. He wore his blues for the ceremony and changed immediately afterwards b/c it was so hot in that full dress. We also saw each other before the ceremony so he had his blues on for those pictures too ... but really he was sweating to death. I'm so glad we had a casual outfit for him for the reception. I had his dress blues in the bag with my wedding dress and we just carried it on the plane and hung it for the flight. No problems at all!

I just had a chance to look at them more closely ... and aside from the Teaser pics that we got a few weeks ago ( http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t21262 ) -- some of my fave pics are: 5 (I wish I had thought to have more pics taken w/ just my Mom), 12, 16, 63, 65, 74, 117, 129, 137, 150, 174, 207, 218, 247, 254, 276, 282, 302, 358, all the reception dancing shots any pic w/ my nephews in it (lol) 390, 413, 418, 425, 432, 442, 449, 458, 573, 576, 577, 586, 597, 602, 607, 613, 618 Phew! And each time I look at them, I see a new one that I fall in love with! :-)

I would think it would wrinkle a little much -- but if you are getting there early and can hang it out to breathe ... that might work. Let us know!!! Mine traveled relatively wrinkle free and I didn't even press it before the wedding it looked so good!

We had just about 40. Family and friends. Ages 4 to 80. Couldn't have been more perfect!

I like the palm tree bag (actually bought one at DT myself, lol) ... but not a fan of the one with the hula dancers..

YEAH!!!! Love the pics! You look amazing and I love the flower girls hair! And we had the same color sand for our sand ceremony! Perfect!!!! MORE MORE MORE!!! :-)

Wow, there are several things. My dress was inexpensive, but I love it. Definitely photography. Tom never even bitched about that cost -- knowing it was truly the only thing that I really thought was non-negotiable. Switching resorts -- whiole we loved our wedding resort and could have stayed there all week -- our honeymoon resort was more luxurious and it gave us a chance to see more areas of Punta Cana. BD Book -- even though it was lost on the way home. I am getting another one (thank goodness) and I love it! Details -- whether it's my Army garter, shoes, jewelry, centerpieces ... not necessarily lots of money -- but I wouldn't have done it any different! Wedding Bands -- I am ssoo in love with both of our bands ... but again, they weren't crazy expensive anyway. :-) (I LOVE to find a good quality deal!!!)

I've only had time to browse them myself ... but I like what she put in the "Favorites" folder. I love some of the scenic shots in some of the other folders too. Just noticed that you are only days away from your 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!! Congrats!!!

Those welcome books ROCK! WOW!!! They are awesome -- as is everything else!!!

Girl, I can TOTALLY relate more than you know!!! The very same thing happened to me -- one of my BM's (who I almost asked to be MOH) backed out for NO reasn via email. It crushed me ... still does in a way ... and DH can't do anything but spit nails when her name comes up. (He would love to see her out sometime and give her a piece of his mind, lol). I know how much it hurts ... and I can't tell you that the hurt will pass, b/c it hasn't for me. If it's of any consolation ... know that you are not alone in having this BS happen to you.

They have finally arrived!!!! http://www.pictage.com/483109 There are fabulous shots in each folder, so while I know it can take forever to browse, if you have time -- please take a gander!!

Some of the plates are cracked (but it doesn't show w/ the sand) ... so you probably wouldn't want the ones I have ... but they are still available at Dollar Tree's all over the place (at least here). If you can't find them, I'd be happy to buy them and ship them to you. They are really lightweight (plastic) but look really good! I'm going to buy more plates, bowls and tumblers to use as our patio serve-ware. Can't beat the price, they look great, and who cares if one gets lost of cracks, right? :-)

OOPS! Quote: Originally Posted by kleslie5 Wow, everything looks great Tami!! The "last minute" stuff really came together.

I actually do have some table runners and placemats that I did not use and was planning to return. PM me (or I'll try to remember to PM you) if you do want them. I am going to keep some just b/c I love them .. but I have lots of extras.

WOW! What a review! You rock! And thanks for more pics! Sounds like overall that everything was wonderful. I love your choice of the gazebo for the ceremony!

Yeah for lots of PICS! :-) I love the one of you and your Dad walking down the aisle w/ the rose petals. The beautiful smile on your face says it all! Your review is fabulous and well-detailed and will do wonders for furture brides at your resort! So happy your day (and honeymoon too!) was everything you imagined!

Great article. We didn't set up our "back-up" plan until arrival at the resort ... but our WC was very good in pointing out our options. Luckily it rained a bit the morning of our wedding, but was clear and beautiful by our ceremony time!

Oh Alyssa, The sand ceremony cases were PERFECT! I've posted a few pics of our Sand Ceremony (we did it just before cutting the cake instead of as part of the actual ceremony) and it was awesome! Those vases are ssoo beautiful! And they made the trip to and from the DR without any breakage issues!!!!! You ROCK b/c it was the perfect gift!

Glad to hear things are working out. I totally understand these types of frustrations and it is not the least bit fun to have a potential dark cloud over your wedding day. TA DINA rocks for being able to make some headway for all you Dreams PC brides!

I thought I had already posted here several days ago ... but it might be one of the many times my computer crashes before a post takes effect. Anyway -- CONGRATULATIONS! I cried reading this entire story because it is all so beautiful and a miracle, despite the adversity and initial scares that you had! I'm so excited for this wonderful miracle for you and Paul!!! Thanks for being so crazy diligent with posting and pics! You are amazing!

I like how you describe that your dress will fall based on your height! And I think any of the BM dress options are great.

OMG! So exciting! How romantic!!! I can't wait for details!!! This is going to ROCK!

lol, I understand. So many decisions! But you are doing a great job!!!

How fun! It's funny how each pic you upload gives you totally different results!
