Please excuse the fact that I squeezed into this for pics. I bought it when I was a lot smaller for a wedding that didn't happen!

What are you looking for in a ttd? I have one but it is more traditional style. A-line and satin... very pretty and never been worn if anyone is interested. Size 8 and would be willing to sell it to someone for $100 bc I heart DW's!

Magalie I am so sorry you are bummed about your dress I hope you get everything you want and more!!!! How exciting that you and Sara are sooooo close!!!!

Love it Magalie! You are so creative!

Welcome! Why the title United Payment Services I had to ask.

OK, you need to pick your battles here. I agree it SUCKS, but you need to keep your cool if you want to keep this experience enjoyable. And fiancee had better be on board. Maybe if you show him you are willing to bend a little, he'll take a stand on the more important things. that is marriage so he/you had better be ready! 1. keep your welcome dinner 2. you do NOT have to pay the site fee for off site guests, no way. I would wait it out and see how many of these "friends" rsvp before you approach how to fit them in your budget. They may not show, and if they do it will be time to talk to MIL about footing the bill. But give it some time so you know what you are dealing with. 3. Get your own cake too. If she wants to bring a cake, so be it. But have your own cake the way you want it for your pics, etc. Your guests will only benefit from 2 cakes! Don't even tell her that. 4. Let her provide alcohol for the OOT bags if she wants. Good luck transporting it! The rest of the bag, do what you want. No biggie. I hope this helps. But by playing it cool you will avoid some unneeded drama. By giving in to some of these smaller things that can be worked around and including her in some decisions, hopefully it will detour her from some wild ass idea, KWIM? Play the game sweetie. But, your man better learn what side to be on in the end:)

Welcome to the forum Fer! I too love Heather's photos... it tells her story so well!

Raquelle Leather-thong.... hmmmmm

do what you want! I think that sounds wonderful and very personal.

I didn't have the full Mishka experience either, it's ok! She made our maracas, placecards and menus only. I was working on the menus but was traveling a TON for work and mentioned that it was stressing me out so she took over! Elizabeth is a big sweetheart:) Good luck with everything! It'll be here before you know it.

Oh Katrina! I can't wait to show this to Bill...looks perfect. We aren't big resort people either:) Thanks for sharing!

I actually saw your wedding photos on her blog before I even knew about BDW Thank you so much! It was really fun... Mishka and Elizabeth are fabulous to work with! Now I can't wait to see your pictures:)

Thanks Ladies. It was a great time for sure!

Please let me know how your trip goes! Good Luck! Awesome! I hope everything goes super smooth for you!

No, you do not have to. I sent out separate wedding/AHR invites... I think most people do that.

I am sorry you had such a terrible trip and thanks for giving a heads up. Please be sensitive to the fact that there are MANY girls that are already in the process of planning a wedding at RPRM. And there are many people, including myself, that couldn't afford to do a site visit. And I am happy to report that our wedding was more than can be expected! I am really glad that you were able to rule out a choice that wouldn't work for you though! And food poisoning can happen anywhere. I hope you shared your sickness with the hotel so that they could pin-point any potential causes and prevent additional sickness.

OMG Ana!!! I just read about your DRESS! Completely forgot about this!!! Holy moly Michael was lucky to still be in one piece to enjoy the rest of the day haha. Glad the bustle took care of it so you didn't have to worry about coming unstapled. And now you have a great story!

Always like to welcome another Minnesotan! Happy Planning!

Love it! What a great memory some day.
