The boy has been everywhere from Armani to Bloomingdale's and back and cannot find a single one he likes. He really wants a linen one bad. Jose looks so cool in those pics! I love that he was posing for you! See, grooms get just as excited as we do for our big days! Everytime I try my dress on, I don't want to take it off!

That is awesome, Dougsgirl! Congrats on the marriage license! Big things

Yep. They are a perfect match!

I don't know the band really, but we booked one and she said they are really good. I hope so!!! You should go ahead and ask your WC about it. They didn't have the band on the original package sheets she sent us either. So I told her we wanted live entertainment and she said, No problem and did it for us. I'm sure it won't be a problem at all. They can do whatever you want. Quote: Originally Posted by CJEB Please can you let people know what they are like after your wedding? I will definitely do that

Maura, your shower looks like it was so much fun!!! And that cake... delicious!!! I also hate when people say they are going to show and don't...how rude!!! Well, girls, FI went out yesterday (again) to try to find his linen suit for our wedding with NO success. He went to like 50 stores. We only have FOUR weeks (26 days--yay!) til our wedding, and he is playing with fire at this point. I want to pull out each one of his hairs, one by one, because HELLO, he should have done this a long ass time ago! I mean, I ordered my dress in December! LOL

Amy, I remember reading in a thread about how you were changingi your neckline and I'm sooooo glad that it all worked out for you! Your dress is gorgeous!!! I also have a sweetheart neckline and adore it! Yay! Congrats to you! Your dress is the bomb!

Omgosh. This heat is NO joke! yesterday, my car read 101 and it felt even worse! today, it's 98l I'm at work and they turned all the lights off everywhere! LOL. I'm sitting in my office, in the dark.

Welcome aboard! I'm a PC bride myself... (26 more days!!!). Happy planning! Make sure to check out the Dominican Republic thread

I think all of us get a little backlash with a DW. But the thing is, it's nobody's business but ours that we want to have a DW. If they do'nt like it, too bad. It's not THEIR wedding. When they get married or have a party, they can do it anyway they like. Don't feed into the negative comments and just plan your wedding. Have fun.

I think your mom giving you away sounds like a great idea. And really sweet!

Amy, you are going to look divine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the hair and make up!

^^ Hooray! It is so nice to finally see another Iberostar bride in DR!

Just to update. I've got 4 weeks to go now, a little less than a month, and I haven't gotten anymore than the 5 back. Crazy. I figure that at this point, people are just not going to send them them to me (the last date I have to RSVP is this week). LOL. Oh well. I pretty much know who's coming but I can relate to all of you cause it is so frustrating when you took the time to mail and seal and post each one of them. I guess it just comes with "Bride Territory."

OMGOSH that dress is LOVELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can prob get it altered in that time!!! But hurry! How exciting!

^^ LOL. I love that you said maybe she was "heavily medicated." Maybe she was putting on a front at the wedding to appear nice in front of your guests? This is a tough one. She seems like she's an unhappy person so she prob wants everyone to be unhappy around her cause that is how she feels. It sucks but there are people like that. Try to talk to your hub about it and not argue any further since the prob is not with him, it's with her. I say, just pick out a weekend that works better for you guys, cause she is always going to be in your lives since you're married and make yourself scarce that weekend. Good luck!

Aw. I'm sorry you feel sad and that they won't be there very long. Maybe they just don't want to be in the heat and aren't really into traveling. Some people are that way. My grandmother isn't coming to mine for those exact reasons and there is nada I can do. On the flip, they are coming to see you get married which is major Stay positive!

Everything looks GREAT! I love your invitations, your jewelry, the girls will looove their personalized bags and the ceremony set up is soooooooooooo romantic!!!!

I've been engaged for 1.5 year and since the beginning we decided on a DW. Since the begining, I have had a girlfriend (for years now), who said she was going to come, no matter what, would talk about it every single day. Well, ever since I sent out the save the date, months ago, she has been seemingly avoiding me. It's the weirdest thing. I will call her or invite her out and she won't even respond to me. It's SO bizarre. Then I of course, sent her the invitation to the wedding, and no RSVP, nada. Two weeks ago I emailed her, asking her to please give me a heads up cause I need a final head count, now that I'm just days away and need to get a list to my wedding coordinator, and she HASN'T EVEN RESPONDED. I guess I'm just upset that she's completely blown me off. I can understand if she can't come, but why the blow off. I have other friends that told me straight up they're not coming. I appreciate honesty. But why this fuckery? This avoiding people? I absolutely abhor when people blow me off. It is so beyond rude! Why do you guys these this is/why she's doing this? I would never do this to her.

^^ I wonder why they are telling you both different things? Can you maybe talk to the manager lscilley? That's not right.

Amy, it looks like you guys had great fun!

Celina, I am so glad everything seems to be better now and you are home with your family. And again, I am sorry you are going through this. Your sister sounds very vindictive. Why is she so angry. What she did is beyond reprehensible. Wow. There are just no words. Just take this time to be with your FI and your kids and fam. Hugs and blessings.

^^ HAHA! I know, I love it!! The music is all horror-movie music!!! Addison, we are date twins!!! 7/5/08!

Aw! That is so pretty!!

The Bridezilla show always cracks me up. I love seeing them kirk out for no reason. There was one bride on there who invited her ex hub to the wedding but not to the reception and I was in tears laughing at their hilarious commentary. And another one who wanted to decorate the reception area really late the night before the big day. And one who told her BMs they were not allowed to get pregnant at all before her wedding!

Muhammad Ali. I was still a wee (7ish). He was in his prime, and not sick yet. He was SO cool and I will always remember him being so polite and just really nice, quiet.
