chicklet

Feb 21 I think is ok with me. I haven't seen my schedule yet but most saturday's i work in the day time . Did we have a plan of where we wanted to go in kitchener?? that might be an idea...figure out where to go.

*lol* chatty is definitely ok..just think how many people we inform of things..*lol*. We are staying at the Courtyard Marriott the night before. Our whole toronto group will be there and we are doing a picnic in pajamas.*lol* this was my mom's doing. Well we will have two meetings..*lol* we, you and christine will meet at airport and we'll meet everyone else at our group meeting. If you can't host us its understandable, i mean we are a bunch of girls that your fh doesn't know.*lol* maybe we should crash Kayte's buck and doe...*lol*...make the girl some $$ and get her looped *lol*.

Glad to hear everything worked out. I sure hope you weren't charged for that mess.

I'm not going to be making/ordering centre-pieces, additional decors for the wedding venue, hiring outside of resort vendors, or even buying shoes for that matter... Reading this forum and seeing all the work some brides are putting into their wedding is making me wonder if I'm not stressed out/organized enough. What is important to me is that I will be marrying the most amazing man in the world. I really couldn't care less if my nails aren't perfect, my hair isn't top-model comparable or that I will be bare-foot in a relatively "cheap" wedding dress. Does that make me weird? Should I ramp it up a level and strive to be the perfect bride? Nopers you are not. I went fairly simple as well. I just happy to be on the beach and with family and friends It's your wedding, you can make it as complicated or simple as you want. Most important, enjoy!!

Beware if you have a pop-up blocker though, you won't be able to "log-off" of the internet and use the rest of your minutes another time. do u need to purchase the minutes for wireless?? could you store your laptop in the safe?

I would rather have lots of time than not enough. Maybe ask the salon for a suggestion?

I am invading this place just for one post...he he...anyone's fh driving them nuts as the time is nearing??*lol* I think it could be cause he is a procrastinor!!!!! anyone else having this prob?? bah...i did find out that tanning takes away stress

That's cute!! so soon we can call you mrs watty!! Are you kidding me?? *lol* Cherrybombs..*lol* now that is a funny story...pick up some dirtballs. We actually went to Downtown Kathy Brown's. It was pretty fun...lots of old skool music and stuff and god knows us gals like to shake it ..!

When I get excited I get . I am just hoping not to get any on my dress. Geez christene...no puking in the wedding dress!! Maybe have some drinks and take some gravol too before you head down the aisle. Do you have any nervous energy yet?? I was horrible lastnight..butterflies and everything.

Thank you all for all your input and help, I would love to meet up with some of you while we're all there! I'm arriving January 10th, and I'm sure I'll be watching all your beautiful weddings! I hope you all have an awesome time, I know I will!! Kristin Have a great time! I may take you up on your offer (from a while ago) and come watch your wedding to see how things roll (if that is ok). I am sure we will meet up at some point during the week (we arrive on 17th). Enjoy and have a perfect wedding day!!

I have pics posted on facebook and have Craig on mine if you want to see or just add me (Angela Cecchin) and you can see them...there is tons.

*lol* yup...a bunch of us should get together and plan destination weddings for people..*lol*. I had company this weekend so I was around as much. I will post pics a bit later of my party. Lots of fun!

You don't need the long copy....lots of other brides have just done the short copy. I just sent the long one which threw everyone into a tizzy..*lol*

congrats! you gotta be soo excited!!! I'm a week and a bit away The salon and chandlyn accept credit cards so you are good!

I have the feeling I am gonna have a big case of nerves so it might be better for me to venture out of the room....*lol* I will be certainly having a drinky or two before the ceremony.

It's crazy!!! we are not far away now at all....wheww hoo!! It is all becoming very real...anxious and excited all at the same time. I can't even imagine what it will be like on our wedding day..

ahhh thanks...that could be the reason why mine is cheaper. I'm just doing ceremony too

That sucks you had to pay out so much ahead of time. I paid 150 in advance.. ohhh man ...you are a lucky bugger...they got room for me too *lol* You can have your own little party in your room while you are getting your hair and make up done..drinks, music ..whatever you want!! Now that is the life!

I have inquired to Tai about a couple bouquets and this is what I am doing and some costs. You get a free bouquet with the free package (MOH is using this ...its carnations or daisy's)...then I am ordering a bouquet for myself which is $90. My boutinierres are (i think) $15 a piece. I didn't find them too unreasonable considering its a destination wedding and you don't have many options for flowers.

DVD/Videographer - $435 for 2 hours I've been told that $1,305 is a bit much for only having someone taking pictures or taping for only 2-3 hours and that these are more typical to prices of someone there all day. Any thoughts on this? Has anyone used other photographers in town that would be better? I appreciate any help on this!!! Just curious why the cost of your video was so much?? I am having a video done and was only charged 330. Is there different people that do the video's like the photography is done??

It was a combination of all things...some hair, some makeup, some spa etc. It wasn't my cup of tea so i get to pay out the butt...*lol* happy wedding day to me!!!
