Welcome and happy planning!

Welcome to the forum! Happy planning. Sorry don't know of any Rabbis in Mexico.

Congratulations and happy planning!

Sounds like he's picked out a great outfit. The white will def. compliment his skin tone.

Thanks everyone! I'm so excited especially now that I have two things off my list...and I saved super bucks on the shoes! Now, if I could just get the photographer I want so badly to call me and let me know if they can do my wedding...arghhh

Ha! Thank goodness I'm not a bridezilla!

They're Stuart Weitzman Solitaire in Fuschia. I had them shipped from Nordstrom in Boca Raton. They should be arriving any day now!

This is your and FI's weddiing - you are on the same page that you want it in Mexico - not an option to have it ANYWHERE else. YOU are paying for this wedding - if you don't have the wedding YOU and FI want, you will never, ever forgive yourself. your FMIL needs to get over her-self - this isn't about her and if she can't 'accomodate' her own son's wedding, she has much bigger problems than travel dates. I suggest putting an end to the madness and letting FMIL know that you and FI understand that this is not the exact situation she would like but this is when /where your wedding will be. Further, let her know that she is welcome to host and pay for an AHR for her friends and family that cannot make it if that is something important to her (don't you pay for that too!!) Finally, if you allow FMIL and FI's family to control you now at the beginning of your marriage, it will never stop and continue to get worse. Good Luck and ! Alyssa I was just PMSing and it still ticks me of to read how insensitive the fmil is behaving. I totally agree with Alyssa....she read my mind and put into words. I'm sorry to hear about your father.

Since he's a good dresser he will probably pick out the right outfit. Have him get involved in the planning if that would help. Once he gets a taste of how much work goes into this whole process he may just leave it up to you. My FI sees how much research I have been doing, and realizes the compromises I've already made on the location (I wanted Turks and Caicos and just the two of us), and let him think it was his idea on the venue for reception and ceremony. He feels involved but realizes his butt is super lucky that he's not doing all of the legwork! I ordered his suit, bought the shirt and shoes and cufflinks and asked "so what do you think?" He was relieved that his part was done!

I want to thank everyone for taking the time out and helping me decide which dress I should choose. A lot of people asked me which dress I had chosen, but I guess my response was mixed up with everyone elses: So here's the dress: And here is the link to the shoes. What do you think of the shoes? I heart them because pink is my favorite color and will be part of my wedding theme: Thanks guys! When the dress arrives in my size I will post my pic with the shoes! in the dress sticky. p.s.-It took me forever to figure out how to post this shoe pic from my mac...BDW forum is great for teaching me how to do computer stuff!

I was thinking of asking a similar question. My great-grandmother raised me. My father and I have somewhat of a relationship that developed after I was 19. My mother I do not talk to and have had to cut ties with her. My father is attending, but because my mother's side had a hand in raising me I thought it would be a slap in the face to my aunt and uncle who helped out my g.grandmother. However, my aunt doesn't seem so interested in helping with the wedding, she's coming, but she is upset with me that I will talk to my mother but not my father. Sooo, I have already told my father he's not walking me down the aisle but I know his feelings are going to be hurt when he watches someone else do it. So then I thought maybe I would just have my daughter do it, and avoid all of the drama...oy! I don't know what to do. Sorry to hi-jack this thread, but I thought another post might be redundant and not meet posting etiquette. But, I could be way off with this one...

Good post. Thanks!

I agree..it's been a crazy weekend. Just sad.

I've never known if I've been picking the right colors for my skin/eyes/hair so I really wanted someone to tell me what would look best on me. To top it all of she gave me a VERY detailed step by step instruction guide for how to put it on. Here are pictures: (little more shiny than right after, but we ran some errands and it's 112 here, so ....) disregard the bras in the background! and here's a closer up. i'm sticking with my own mascara... this stuff was kinda spider leg like Very nice and natural. Don't you just love the tight line!

Looks great. You have given me some good ideas since this is the next task on my list.

I love mineral foundations. I was skeptical at first since it was in an informercial, but a friend gave me some that was too dark for her and I fell in love with it! It does not break me out and I've been acne prone since I was in 3rd grade. In fact, it's the only foundation I've been able to wear that has not caused a breakout. I have switched to Laura Mercier's mineral foundation and I like the finish much better. My girlfriend got it for her wedding after hearing me talk so much about it and I did her makeup with it and she looked awesome. She even called me afterwards and thanked me for introducing her to quality products.

They look great!

Welcome and enjoy!

They look amazing.

Very cute and creative. I love the stamps!

Everything looks great. I like the oot bags.

If you find the one then buy it and don't go shopping for another dress. You could risk the dress being sold out and then you will obsess that you missed out on the dress of your dreams and then you will not be happy with another one. It you're like me that's what would happen...lol. How did you like the Nicole Miller dress?

Looks great. Good job!
