Well, we are not going to have a professional photographer with us in Hawaii since the destination wedding will just be about 15 people, and we are only going to have our legal ceremony there, a small intimate thing and then do the big (for show!) ceremony and reception back at home. So no one to really get those kind of answers from except here. Hopefully someone will know something for me, but that was a great idea if we were going to use a WC or Ph there. Thanks!

Hi Jamie! Nice to meet ya!

Congrats and welcome!

welcome! glad to have ya!

Welcome! Nice to meet ya!

I bought mine at Target for like $4.00 or so, it's pink. I couldn't find them online just now tho.

Hi! I haven't had a chance to "meet" ya yet but I wanted to say you both look beautiful and what an amazing place to have a wedding! Your dresses are so pretty.

Welcome! Glad to have you!

And dang it all, if I had known I was gonna get engaged in October and want a summer wedding, I could have lost weight before all that and been done with it! But NO, Doug had to go and propose without a thought to the planning part! Haha, totally J/K! I just have to buckle down. Oops, I just hijacked my own thread!

Also I don't want to look back on my pictures in 20 years and wish I had lost weight first and gotten the "Vavavavoom dress" instead of the "I'm fat and frumpy cover-up dress". Hehe

Does anyone know the name of a great secluded beach that is easy to get to near Honolulu, Lihue, or Ka'anapali? Do you have pics or directions?

So many people have said to try on as many different styles as you can, because even tho you have a certain style/type in mind, it may not be what looks good on you or what you thought it would be. Who ended up with their Dream dress, and who ended up with their Reality dress?

Not what you think, naughty kids! How long did you wait between the time you got engaged and the time you went dress shopping? I am dress-obsessed, but haven't got the guts to go shopping yet since I'm not very happy with my body right now. I dont want to take the chance of finding The One and then having to have expensive alterations last minute if I lose weight or YIKES gain weight! Just wondering what everyone else did...

Good morning and welcome to the addiction!

I love the sash. Very pretty dress!

Dear random people, co-workers, and family I hardly ever see, Please please please stop asking me if Doug and I are going to have a baby when we get married. Some people make a lifestyle choice and don't feel the need to explain themselves to everyone just because we want to share our lives with each other! Please stop replying to my answer of, "No, we already have 2 kids." with, "But they're HIS kids." because do you think I don't realize that I didn't give birth to them? Get it into your thick skull that this does not mean I love them any less than if I had. I am not only marrying Doug but also getting a built in family as well, and we don't need a baby of our "own" to complete us right now. Thanks for listening! Wow that sounded really angry and vent-y. I would never really say that out loud to anyone, but I guess that is what this is for right?

welcome! nice to meet ya!

Welcome, glad to have you!

Hi Raychel! I love the yellow flower, yellow is my color. Welcome! Glad to meet ya!
