I think throwing a party for yourself is a great idea. And the shot idea with all 4 of them is perfect, I would love being asked that way!

They turned out great...nice job!

They look great!!!

Congrats I remember when I finally chose the resort, it's so exciting! And I'm sure you will be a huge help to all the future brides getting married there.

It's gorgeous...I love it!

So cute and wow what a great price!

Those are really cute! And you can't beat the price!

I went to the bank with my dad's death certificate, his license and my license. Give them a call and see if they require anything else. I'm sorry you're dealing with all of this, I know how much it sucks.

Most need an original too, so I would suggest asking the funeral home to order a few.

When my dad passed away about a year and a half ago, I had to file a petition at the county court to be named Administrator of his Estate. He did not have a will either, so I had to have all of my brothers and sisters sign that it was ok that I was doing this. Whenever I got checks for him, I had to sign them over to myself and put them in the estate account that I had to open up. It turned out to be a lot more work than I was expecting. I hired an estate lawyer and I'm glad I did because there were a lot of little things that I had no idea how to do. I wish I could be more help, but I really don't know everything I did and the order I did them, so I would recommend hiring a lawyer. Here is the Q & A from my county's website: Delaware County PA

I picked #2 because I really like it and because it seems like something he could wear with anything. But I also really like #5.

Happy Wedding Day, Stephanie

I love them! The material, color (and cost!) is perfect for a DW.

Wow Sarah that is so crazy. I am so glad that they are both ok. Thank God!

They look great! I love them!!!

Melissa, I'm so sad to see you go. You'll be missed

Wow! Everything looks so great!!!!

I'm planning on writing "Thank You" in the sand and taking a picture of it with Mike and I standing there. When I get home, I'll use Kodak Gallery or something like that to make them into cards.

to the forum from a fellow Jamaican bride! Happy planning!!!

I always send gifts to showers and weddings that I can't attend. BUT I have never been invited to one where I only met the person a handful of times. So in your case, I would probably just send a card and maybe a small gift from her registry.
