Congrats Veronica! You will find more information here than you even thought existed regarding destination/beach weddings. It is awesome From one newbie to another, WELCOME!

Have a great time Tammy! You have worked very hard and deserve to enjoy every minute of it. We will miss you on the forum but can't wait for you to return with pictures and reviews! CONGRATULATIONS

they are both gorgeous (love the colors) but i'd go with the first one and see if you can get 2 gerbers thrown in like earlier suggested... and i'd do rose for the groom! any way around it you can't go wrong because they are all beautiful

Sarah, the pictures are gorgeous... everything looks so natural and fun. I just watched it a few times because once was not enough to get the full effect. Great job, Juan!

Hi Rachelle! I am in the Dallas area also... which is interesting because Brian is in Atlanta. He left Texas in March (had to for his job) and will be there for 2 more years. I am definitely open to moving to ATL, but only want to do so once we are engaged and I have a job there. He would love for me to just move there now, but I'm fearful of cohabiting before the ring (because then maybe it will never come?) and would be more confident in moving if I had a great job to be excited about. I LOVE Texas and have lived here all my life... grew up in Fort Worth, went to school in Austin, lived in Houston shortly after college graduation, and now back in Dallas. My family, friends, favorite resturants, malls, hairstylist, doctors... etc (all the important stuff) is here, except him!

Heidi... I love the picture you added later of the gazebo on the beach. It was initially my favorite choice until I read someone else's posts about shadows and such and that is a great point! I think the pros to doing the gazebo on the beach is the fact that you are elevated really puts you on a pedestal for your big day and dresses the ceremony up a little bit. However, if you are going for the au naturale feeling, then just do the beach and feel the sand in your toes and the sunshine on your face!! Both would be amazing. Which better fits the tone you want to set?

Hi y'all! I am Morgan I have to be honest... no ring yet... but I couldn't wait another day to join. I have been reading posts on here for a while so I feel as though I'm already acquainted with many of you. I tried to resist and wait to join after the official engagement so that my first ever post could be "hooray, I'm engaged! I'm so glad to join the BDW club" but heck, why waste another day that I could be getting all of your valuable information and advice! Just so you know though, I found out this week he bought a plane ticket to visit my parents in two weeks (presumably to have "the talk" with my dad) so I'm not one of those full of false hope wanna be brides, hehe. We have had many talks before about where we want our wedding and all we know is the beach! I need help with locations. I know there are a lot of Cabo brides on here and elsewhere so please know I welcome any and all suggestions. I honestly would love to do Cabo but we are both really into the beach and the ocean (it is where we feel relaxed, rejuvinated, close to God, where we are reminded as we look out into the infinite distance that this world is so much bigger than us) so we want to be able to swim and play and I've heard there is only one Cabo resort that allows getting into the water. I've also looked into Jamaica and Bahamas, would love Hawaii but assume it is more expensive but am open to St. Lucia, PV, and all the others pretty much. My only thing is that I'm pretty certain I want it to be AI and as reasonable as possible for my guests price wise. As far as the date goes, we picked out May 24, 2008 a while back for sentimental reasons, but it is also Memorial Day weekend so I initially thought that would be perfect for guests coming since they will have that Monday off of work. Now I worry that means it will be more expensive for everyone and more crowded at the resorts. Another day I really like is August 2, 2008 because it is 08/02/2008. Well that's quite a long introduction but I love to write (was an English/Comm Major!) so you'll probably hear a lot from me. Looking forward to all that lies ahead... Morgan
