Thanks for the help! I'll be checking all of the links out. I found a back up one to go with...but her house just burnt down a couple days ago. Poor thing lost all of her paperwork, computers, photography equipment. I feel terrible for her, she had a great business going too. My photography problem seems minute now lol.

Anyone know of any good and reasonably priced photographers in the Florida /Keys area? I currently have one booked that is traveling from Ohio. But there is a family illness that just came up and it may force him to back out. He's a great friend so I understand the situation, but now I'm looking around like nuts. Does anyone have any ideas?

Are the OOT bags still available?

Our wedding is Friday evening and we're doing our TTD session on Sunday morning. Should be fun! Hopefully I don't get all shy :x

Thanks ladies! The dress actually came yesterday!! Is that not nuts? It is absolutely GORGEOUS! I'm so happy with it. No pictures yet, but hopefully soon

oh yea I did! I'm amazed at the deal I got. I got the dress, slip, tiara, and garment bag for $600!! That includes tax and shipping!! Is that not nuts?

Thanks everyone!! and thanks for posting the link! I'm really excited about it!

I was able to find one I loved at the Bridal Store Online link that was posted! I'm getting the merry gown and adding a halter top, as well as doing a few different modifications to the bottom. Thank you all for your help!!!! They had my size in stock and it's being shipped TOMORROW!! I also got a slip, tiara, and garment back for $600!! That includes shipping, tax, the dress....everything!! So it all worked out in the end! Thank you so much for all your help and encouragement! And thank you Lizz for taking the time to post all those links . This really is a great place! It's amazing how people from around the world that you don't even know are willing to help!

Thank you so much Lizz!! I'm checking all these links and seeing some great stuff! They are giving me my money back, so it could be worse!

If it's not red it's not red....I'll survive! I would like a halter top or a strapless that could be converted into one. I love the lace up backs. Medium size train, in other words not huge, but I want there to be one. It was a straight, slim waist with some beading on the sweetheart neckline and the bottom was fairly poofy. So I guess it was a ball gown style? Sorry, I'm clueless about this stuff :x. I just found it and fell in love with it! The main thing is that I want something unique, halter, and a style that is flattering for someone with larger then average bust and hips! Sorry if this makes no sense...I'm so irritated it's hard to think!!

So....after having my wedding dress already ordered, with a ship date yada yada yada, I got a call today from the manufacturer saying there was a mix up and it's now back ordered. And he's oh so sorry for the mix up and he can get me the dress in 12 weeks. Instead of it being here in 2 weeks like it was supposed to be!!!!! MY WEDDING IS DECEMBER 14TH!!! I ordered the dress 2 months ago . So, I'm crushed. It was THE dress. It was gorgeous...and had a lace up back... and was RED. All red!!! *cries a few more tears* My wedding is December 14th!!! And I don't have a dress!!!! HELP! I'm a plus size bride so I can't just get something off the rack! Is there anywhere you girls can suggest? I know David's bridal is a possibility....but nothing there really grabs me. I guess I'm picky (who isn't about their wedding dress). I LOVED that my other dress was all red. Are any of the places on ebay safe/reliable? Any help would be appreciated. I'm going to go drown my sorrows in a bottle of vodka. *sigh*

Thanks!

We're expecting between 20-25.Which isn't bad seeing as how we only invited 32 We're having to AHR's after we get back. One in Ohio and one in New York. Roughly 150 are coming to each!

gorgeous!!

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm going to look around a little more to get some ideas. I appreciate all the help and I'll be checking out a papersource near me!

Ok, so I'm not a crafty person and I'm totally clueless as to where to start on this. Are there any softwares that would be helpful to design it, then print it myself or somewhere else? I'm working on invites for two receptions once we get back. I want it to be fairly simple and I already have a icon/picture I want to use for the top of the invitation. Sorry this isn't very specific. I'm just totally lost as to where to start!

Do you have a helmet you could use as a prop? Or maybe his helmet? You could probably do some cool stuff using that as a prop. Same with wearing some of his gear.

Congratulations!! That's so exciting!!

Welcome

Good luck! Congrats!

And here it is on me!

Here's to hoping this works.... this is a picture of my ring from online. I'll post one later of it on me

Great choice! It's a gorgeous pic.

Thanks for the welcome! I have more planning left then I would have liked...but the military decided to spring a relocation/deployment on us so our wedding got pushed up from April. Oh well, we're working with it and I'm sure it will be wonderful! My family is helping with a lot of the details, though we live 4 states away from them, it's still a big help.
