Looks like you guys had so much fun! I love the cake that was cute! Pig tails to veils!

I am so sorry you are going through all this. I am sending a BIG HUG your way . I would suggest looking into unemployment or severence pay, and make the best of this unemployment situation. It could be a blessing in desguise. You could end up with something better, and while you have this time off you can focus on your wedding. But I wouldn't stress to much about this wedding situation. As long as you have your past correspondences with the old WC Im sure you will be fine. And I am truely sorry to hear about your miscarriage, I know how it feels to experience a loss like that whether you knew about the pregnancy or not. But I am a strong believer that everything happens for a reason. There is nothing you could have done to change any of these circumstances but you can rise above them and become a stronger person. We are all here for you!

That really sucks! Although being dumped due to having a DW is common. My MOH told me last night it is a 50/50 chance she will be going. While it sucks at least she has given me plenty of time to get over it. We are inviting around 160 people and I I think we will be lucky if 15 people come. I have accepted the fact it may just be me and my man! And that is fine. I hope everything works out for you!

Also-- I have also searched and am wondering how and what the 'bank' is on your page. How do you accumultae the bank?? Thanks! Thanks team gracey! The "Bank" works just like a real bank. You earn points by looking at threads, commenting, posting pictures and so on. You can use these points to buy things and view files like templates and such on threads. So the more points the more things you can look at and buy. In order to gain more points you can take the points you have put them in the bank and earn interest, just like a real bank. To put your points in the bank all you have to do is go to vbPlaza Menu and you will see the bank option. Click on it and it will ask how much you want to put in the bank. Pretty easy. For more datailed information on points and what to use them for you can do a search on points and you will find a thread that gives you all the info you need! I hope this has helped.

Your pictures are amazing! I love your candle place settings. I think I am going to steal your idea! Your flowers were beautiful!

Love the hamming it up pic!

I loved your dress before, but it looks even better with the sweetheart neckline and the tie up back! You look great!

Aww your pictures are great!!! I can't wait to see the rest!

Love em'! The shoes and the dress!

I agree with every one else that there is not "natural" place to put the brooch. But if your dead set on it what about adding a sash around your waist and add the brooch to that?

amyh- You look beautiful!!!! You are very lucky to have your stylist with you for your wedding!

I love that you mailed it to your grandma, "Grandma Marggie." I also wanted to be informal. And I have alwasys sent mail to my grandparents labeled "Oma and Opa" (thats what I call them) so I think I will do my STD the same way!

Good luck trying to stay awake! LOL

I also like the silver shoes. But I like gold too. Gold really would complement a nice tan, if you have one! LOL

This happened to us too. I actually considered eloping because of all the negative feed back we got. Then when we told our family that we planned to elope the same people who gave us the negative feed back was upset we were eloping! So we went back to our original plans of haveing a DW and who ever doesn't like it doesn't have to come.

Along with what Ann said, I would just suggest not getting too attached to those flowers in case you can't get exactly what you want at your location. I think if you go with those colors in general for the flowers that you still will be coordinating everything very nicely. I know it would be just my luck for the WC to inform me the florist would not be able to make these arrangements!!! LOL I have my fingers crossed that they will because most of the flowers are orchids and other "tropical" flowers so I am hoping since I am going to a tropical place they will have them. Plus I did see some other Dream Cancun brides with orchid arrangements.

Both centerpieces are all orchids. But what kind of orchids I am not sure of though. The bouquet also has various types of orchids and other "tropical" flowers. I found all these pictures on weddingchannel.com and the descriptions of what type of flowers were in the bouquet were limited. Now that I found what I wanted I was going to research some flower sites and see exactly what kind of orchids and "tropical" flowers these are. If I find anything out I will be sure to post it.

Quote: Originally Posted by ErinB I like them! I think they incorporate your theme and colors really well! Where did you find them? Thanks ErinB! I found these at weddingpaperdivas.com. They have a great selection of STD and invitations plus they will work with you to customize your STD or invitation if you would like. Another good thing is that they too aren't expensive.

I didn't like any of the ones with big flower arrangements, so I went with it being decorated wth tulle and then small flowers arrangements. This was at Dreams Tulum. They had never done anything like this before (usually they use just a little tulle and big flower arrangements on the "gazebo" frame) but they did it for me no problem! Now all the girls at Dreams Tulum are requesting it! I really like this set up! I love the starfish on the chairs, I haven't seen that before!

Let me start off by saying I am so anal when it comes to having thing coordinate! So I was and am in awe at all of you ladies that have done such an amazing job of having every aspect and every little detail of your wedding complement each other. In effort to do the same I not only wanted my STD/invites to mirror my themes of fun, tropical and simple but I wanted to tie it in with the rest of my decor ideas. So I found these STD/invites that I think convey the mood I am going for, but they have a flower design on them. I really like the flowers because I think they display the tropical aspect of the wedding. I liked them so much I wanted my bouquet and table centerpieces to match. So I searched and search thread after thread to see if I could find anything similar. But I found nothing. Then I searched wedding site after site. And just last night I was lucky enough to stumble across these. Please tell me what you think. And if you have any other flower suggestions please let me know!!!! Here is the STD/Invitations *the names and addresses are not real* Here are the flowers I found bouquet centerpieces

Ok ladies I think I found my STD and invitations. I am a Dreams Cancun bride and I want the theme or vibe of my wedding to be fun, tropical and simple! My colors are hot pink and orange, because I think they are fun colors and give the tropical feel. So I found these STD and invitations and I think they fit my theme. What do you think? * This is just a sample pic from the invitation website- the names and adresses are not real* http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/l...0stuff/STD.jpg http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/l...invitation.jpg

Here are a few pictures that Daniella has sent to me of reception sites and ceremony sites. This is not all the reception options. Try looking in the reviews of weddings at Cancun. Some of the ladies had there receptions in the inside area of the terrace and the spa, which I do not have pictures of.... http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/l...cun/Beach3.jpg http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/l...un/Beach19.jpg http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/l...un/Beach35.jpg http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/l...bReception.jpg http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/l...ubTerrace1.jpg http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/l...gDreams006.jpg http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/l...r1/Garden8.jpg http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/l...r1/Garden5.jpg http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/l...r1/Garden1.jpg http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/l...ubTerrace3.jpg http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/l...ubTerrace1.jpg

Try taking water pills or laxatives- they will get rid of any extra fluid and anything else inside you! LOL I wouldn't recomend this for an extended period. And it all comes back after you stop. Just a quick fix.

I love both dresses and the eggplant color. But I think the 1 is my favorite for BM dresses.
