Spazz

We had 80+ guests at our ROR wedding. We had our "Welcome Party" 2 nights before our wedding on the beach at the bar there. I believe it cost $10pp for drinks and everything else - tables, chairs, tiki torches, set-up, etc. - was free. Chandlyn set everything up herself, hung up a banner we brought with us, hooked up our ipod music stuff. It turned out great. For our rehearsal dinner Chandlyn reserved tables at the Plantation for us for free.

This is YOUR wedding, not hers. You are living your life, and she is living hers. Sometimes we lose sight of the fact that not everyone's life is revolved around our weddings. I know I had those moments anyway. But you really can't be mad that she's pregnant. The fact that she recently suffered a miscarriage is all the more reason for you to be understanding of what she's been thru. Quote: Originally Posted by Holly22 I guess I have to read the whole thread because how can you be upset with someone for being pregnant? I guess it can go two ways. Maybe she is not being supportive about your wedding but now your not being supportive of her pregnancy. I would assume she came out running happy because miscarriages are devastating. She went through something horrible and is probably happy. Maybe in a nice way say it might be easier for her not to be in the wedding party? That way its not as much pressure on you. Thats the hard part about destination weddings. Not everyone can make it for personal reasons. My best friend just got married. She told me they are trying to get pregnant so we thought it was best for her to not be in the wedding party. My wedding is in April as well. If she doesn't then I will try and add her in later. I'm sure alot of the focus will be on her. She is having their grandchild. I don't think she got pregnant to ruin your wedding. As long as you and your soon to be hubby are there I'm sure it will be perfect! Try not to stress... Its so hard not to tho : ) I agree with both of the above. Regardless of the other problems you are having with your SIL, her pregnancy is something that I would think you should be happy about. It's not up to you to determine how soon she should get pregnant after a miscarriage. You should try to be the bigger person and be happy for her and her baby even if she's acting like she's not happy about your wedding. This wedding is about you and your FI. It's so easy to get wrapped up in it but you have to realize that everyone else has other things happening in their lives and your wedding won't always take precedence. Best of luck to you!

They're awesome!

Erika, everything looks awesome! Have a fabulous wedding!!!

AMAZING pics! Thanks for posting, Morgan. I can't wait to hear all about it, Heather.

Oh no! I am so sorry you're dealing with this. Keep us updated on what happens.

I love BDW friends...so sweet! Hope you feel better!

Very cool!

#1 is my favorite, but I like #3 too. I'm partial to strapless:)

I totally forgot about the siggy challenges. Good idea bringing it back!

That's great news! I've read articles about how much she wanted to have another baby.

I've always thought of us as "BDWers" but Desties is cute.

Beautiful! I always love seeing Ana's work.

Good luck girls!

You already asked her and she agreed, period. I feel that it's pretty selfish. To add a Jr title is a slap in the face, she is 14 not 5, she knows what is going on. I couldn't have said it better myself!

Good luck girls!

Kate, everything looked fabulous!

Mel, you are such an amazing photographer. Any bride would be so lucky to have you at her wedding!
