IrieBride08

Yayyyy!!!!!! I'm really hoping this all works out. I was shopping around for alternatives online and nothing comes close to the deal we got. I've seen prices ranging from $9.00 to $35 per pash! There are some on Ebay for $4.99 each. I was hoping to not have to spend more money on them. I'm going to send positive thoughts to the pashmina gods!

Ok, thanks! I guess I need to figure out what to do next! So, it's the popular colors that they are holding hostage...I see.

How much of my order do you have in hand? I guess that will determine my next steps...

The Maryland number is listed on the website, but it's not an 800 number. The general number is listed as 410.764.3038.

Damn, $19! maybe I should have ordered mine online too!! LOL!! I'm glad it worked out for you though!

I would suggest doing that. Definitely call and check into it. I booked and Sandals and they were very responsive. The deal was done within the first week. They emailed me a contract for the rooms in an excel spreadsheet format and gave me a booking number.

I ordered mine using the 877 number I posted before. Mine cost about $75, but I ordered 2 birth certificates (at twenty-something each). I think the phone service had a small fee as well. Also, I was born in Wash DC, so the prices vary a bit. I saw on the Maryland link I sent you that the Maryland birth certificates cost $12 each.

Hi, I just ordered mine last week using this 800# and I received it in 2 days. Try calling 877-572-6332. Here's another site that should work too: Maryland Birth Certificates Information

Sounds to me like she's saying, "Call me Bennet, I'm not in it" or "Call me Charles cuz that's between y'all"

I'm also leaning toward a birdcage viel as well. Here are another link I found: Birdcage Veil - Birdcage Veils I like that they have so many pictures of real brides wearing the veils and the lady who runs the site was very nice and responsive. The veils at somethingbold.com seem less expensive though. I decided to go and try some on (where I don't know though!) because it's hard to choose which viel would be best sight unseen! I absolutely LOVE the look of this viel! Mon Cheri Bridals - Product Detail

Yayyy!! I'm so glad you were successful! Be sure to post pictures!

and congratulations!! Nice to see another Sandals bride. Happy to help out however I can.

I've always vowed that I would never do the bouquet/garter toss whenever I got married. It's one tradition I dreaded (as a single person!) I never considered doing something different in it's place, I was just going to skip it. However, I really like "dance of all ages" idea... hmmmm...

I'm trying to find something good and cheap (oxymoron?) I got the travel candles from beau-coup and the travel mugs from discountmugs. I ordered 48 and paid $230 with free shipping. I can't wait to see them! (I decided to get the steel mug with the black type and used clip art from the site to make things easy.) They responded with a proof the same day I ordered!

I'd be willing to bet that they would have J. Helm dresses. They seem to carry a wide variety of designers. I saw Ramona Keveza, Vera Wang, Melissa Sweet, and others I can't even remember to name.

Yeah, I thought they were too, but then I saw a video on the bliss website of someone creating an OOT bag using them and I think they may be big enough for my purposes. Here's the video. I just ordered mine today (35 of them) so I'll let you know how they turn out!

Hi, here's a new coupon code for BlissWeddingsMarket that just worked for me: MSWIN07 Takes 5% off (excludes bridal labels and hang tags though.)

Yeah, I'm curious to know cuz before, whenever I'd click my own scale, it would tell me that I had 7 rep points even though none ever registered in my usercp. Just getting 3 reps from some super sweet members bumped my number up to 10 and I finally got a karma! I think it's kinda cool that there's always something new to learn about how this forum works!

Luckily, you will get your old passport back. They simply punch a hole in the old one and mail it back to you along with your new one. I just got my passport last week and they sent my old one back with two small holes to invalidate it. I was glad cuz I wanted to keep my travel stamps too!

Has anyone here ever been to one before? I went to the one they had in downtown DC this past fall--but I went after work. I didn't even attempt to "run with the brides" at 6am or whatever. They keep the dresses there until closing, so I tried on dresses from 6pm until it closed. It was MUCH calmer atmosphere at that time, even though there were tons of people shopping that evening. There were still lots of options there, even though I didn't score a dress for myself.

So, there are rules to repping!

Thanks for the rep point Jen! I finally see it on my usercp! I made sure to return the love!
