He said he was really thinking about a suit or at least a jacket but he was so worried about being "overdressed" for a beach wedding & being hot. But he now thinks he could have pulled it off.

The reason I’m asking is we decided to go with AA for our flowers; they were able to squeeze us in. They told us the flowers would be sent November 21st 2008 and guaranteed to be to us by no later then November 28th 2008, we leave for Jamaica December 1st 2008 so I’m really worried about shipping. Just wondering how everyone else made in regards to shipping. Thanks. I used AA & had no problem with shipping. My shipping date was listed on their website & I received them within the time frame they specified!

Sorry you've had such a rough week. Here's to better weeks ahead! As for the MOH situation, forget her! I know its easier said than done but its less stress for you to worry about later. I'd rather she dropped out now than a week before your wedding! Bottom line is people will come & go, disappoint you, be flaky, etc, but the most impt thing is YOU & FI!

Thanks for all the advice ladies, I know I should be concentrating on me, I just seem to have trouble doing that. I agree with everyone too, just go, get married & have the time of your life! Try to get as much done as you can before you leave but please don't stress too much over it. I too was up all night before we left & still forgot things at home. It bothered me on the plane and for a few days leading up to the wedding. But on the day of the wedding all the little things didn't matter at all.

They are amazing!!! You two look so cute!!! I love the ones with the flowers! Congrats on the Freebie!

Great pics Lizz!! Gotta love the one of you on the bar at the welcome party! It looks like you had the greatest time! You looked beautiful! Congrats again! Oh and you really were a good sport about the cake! I would've certainly killed Chris had he even thought about doing that! LOL

Congrats Lizz!!! Welcome back! Glad to hear you had a great time! As usual, can't wait for the pics & review!

I ordered my bags from cheaptotes & got the transfer paper from Staples! The bags were quick & rather easy to do. You can get the transfer paper from any office supply store such as Staples, Office Max, Office Depot, etc.

Again, everything was beautiful. Did I tell you before that I absolutely love your dress It is amazing. I really love the color & detail. And the strands on the gazebo! Those were pretty & great in the pics! The jewelry....You did a great job! I mostly love the pics of you & TK together on the beach. Those are my favs! And yeah, TK & his 3 rings...really cute! Gotta love our men & their ideas! LOL

Now that may be because we weren't looking for things like that, but for the usual tourist items. I think you'd be better off bringing all of the things with you that you will use for decorations. I too am sure that my bags were overweight but luckily the people that I encountered at the airport knew we were getting married & were nice & lenient. I also gave 1 piece of luggage to my mother & 1 to my mil. All in all we arrived with 6 bags of wedding stuff. Thank goodness it all worked out!

I think you'll be fine. I sent mine a bit late too & there was no problem. It also took her like 2 weeks to tell me that she received them. I think if you send them out ASAP, she'll get them in more than enough time. Just send her an email, tell her you're sending them this week & then check with her the following week to make sure that she got them. I think I've read that some people scanned them & emailed them to her & she accepted that as well. Oh, by the way, when I saw the title to the thread I thought, oh, another pregnant BDW member...LOL...then I read your post & said Ohhhh....she's late with documents!!!

Wow, this is touchy. I don't know a nice way of telling a person this at all and like you said, we've all had these types of people in our lives. I'm trying to think of a good way to bring up dental hygiene. Like, can you say, "gee, toothpaste is on sale today at Walmart. I'd better go get some. Hey, what kinda toothpaste do you like?" LOL.....Doesn't sound like a door opening convo does it?? I was just listening to a dentist on a radio show today. He reminded people that your mouth is the opening to your body!!! Ewww...Maybe she doesn't floss? That could be a cause too...Girl, I don't know what to tell you!!! Guess you better keep that vapo rub handy!!! LOL

Quote: Originally Posted by twelve_piece Oh, and your rings are so pretty too! Don't feel bad, I still look at my pics all day too I must admit, the pics of me falling are quite hilarious. I didn't think so at the time especially when everyone laughed at me first & then helped me up after taking pics of me!!! I'm sooo glad I'm not alone in looking at the pics. It's really terrible, especially when I'm smiling while looking at them. My coworkers always catch me smiling at the computer & just shake their heads cuz they know I'm looking at wedding pics again! Quote: Originally Posted by Yvette those are some funny pictures. i love the one with the guarder around his head. I tell you, guests can be quite embarrasing!!! Gotta love them tho! Quote: Originally Posted by jmhein You look stunning, congratulations!! Your flower girl is so adorable! Thats my god-daughter! She really loved her role as the flower girl! She's 5 and still talks about Jamaica! Oh, and I ordered the jewelry set from my mom thru Avon! I was quite surprised when I got it. I didn't expect it to be so nice at all. Thanks for all the compliments ladies!

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!! Congrats!!!

Are you talking about the ribbon used to wrap around the handles of the raffia fans? If so, I got mine from Michaels. You can also try Joann's, or AC Moore. Any crafts store should have them.

I know I'm late (LOL) but I just posted pics....Here the's link: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t21633

Beautiful pics Jocelyn! I saw your reception on the beach that night & it really looked amazing!

Welcome back & Congrats!!! Now bring on the review & pics! LOL

Hey, welcome back!!! Amazing pics girl! Can't wait to see the rest!! Congrats!!!

Ohhh...Love it! Very pretty!

You certainly can't tell from your pics that you were not happy with how things went! You look great & your smile shows how happy you were. While I was happy with my wedding overall, I too felt that there was a lack of direction. It's good that you were able to have a great time despite the bumps.

Welcome back! Glad that you had an amazing time! Can't wait for the review & pics!
