I say baby powder. That usuallt does the job. I hate wearing spanx type things under dresses- I usually end up taking them off at some point during the night. Mrs. Martin- I just saw your ticker.. Congratulations- your preggers!

Welcome back! I'm actually jealous that you were not "planning" for this long. I can't even focus long enough to "not plan". I feel like my brain is working overtime with this stuff. Blkatz- You are getting so close. Your ticker is down to days! exciting. Tracy- good for you on the weight loss. Wear that bandeau!

Kristy I honestly DO NOT think bandeau bikinis look good on anyone with a chest larger than an A cup. It does bad things for the boobs in my opinion. A strapless bathing suit with cup support would be better. I usually wear halter tankinis and fold the straps down when not running around. It works. I also bought a white strapless cover up from the GAP a while back. You might check there.

I don't know of anyone who has done one personally, but they are definately done at the Paradisus. Maybe search the forum for "cosmic cermony" or "shaman"? Good luck and welcome to the Paradisus thread!

Welcome to theforum Vikki!

Welcome to the forum! It's good to be ahead in teh planning. You will be happy later!

Welcome Danielle! Lurk away ther is tons of info on here.

Congratulations Mel! Welcome to the forum.

cool. Thank you so much ladies! Betsey how cute is your dad I literally need to send my dad the thread or something. He's like "but i'm the dad.. i need to wear a tie". ha ha he's a little fashion plate that one.

I have been looking for a thread with dad's attire- I can't find one. There is no sticky. Can someone point me in the right direction please?? sorry if i'm just missing it. My dad is panicking about what to wear. He doesn't believe me that he doesn't HAVE to wear a suit...

you look beautiful!

good for you Lauren! I'm still worried about the dj situation. I hope everything worked out for Sandra.

I vote for the first. Is that you in the pic? If you are fair skin and hair I think the contrast looks phenomenal

Your ring is so unique. It is thick- I don't know what else might go with it. If anything maybe switch it to your right hand and a wedding band on the left like many brides do? I know of people who only do one or the other. It's all personal I think.

I'm in ladies. It's the last shot before the wedding! woohoo. game on..... again!

Do you have a non tradtional ring? Post it! I would love to see.

Oh no. I'm sorry that this is causing you stress. I think you should tell your mom NOW that having the entirre family was not part of your plan and that you wanted something intimate. I understand it is a solution in a way to the larger problem but I think you need to tell her how you feel before she starts telling anybody els in the family. ugh.. so not what you need.

We are NOT doing a sand ceremony. I do not need to carry anything else heavy down there and worry about bringing it back either. If you want another option- I am thinking about doing a "shell toss" . This is what I found on it briefly. Blessing Shell Toss While guests are arriving they are asked to choose a shell from our treasure chest. Each shell has a word of blessing and wishes for the couple etched onto it such as, Love, Trust, Happiness, and so on... At the end of the ceremony the Bride, Groom and Guests are directed to the waters edge and after a verse is read by the officiant, the couple counts to 3, and everyone tosses their blessing shell into the ocean together. Not only is it a special photographic moment, but is another way for everyone in attendance to be involved in this special day! and a poem: Blessing stone poem: Each of our guest have been given a stone To hold, bless and protect Sam and Kelly ask that in your mind and heart You pray that their marriage be blessed. Come cast our stones into the sea, and as the ripples Touch and intertwine with one another, May our love also touch and intertwine To spread love and good wishes to all around us! May God bless us all!

I'm glad you had a fun time. It sounds very special!

Like this? It's a sapphire with diamonds on the side. p.s this is the designers hand

Happy Wedding Day Sandra! I hope it's all that you wished for. Congratulations!

There is a vendor thread that you can post on. I believe that most of the contact is done via posting but you may also want to PM TammyHost. She is the originator of the site. Check out thevendor policies though first that may save you some time.

But, I am trying not to stress too much cause I really want this to be fun and be happy with the outcome. I leave work in 4 hours, my time is 4 p.m. for hair and makeup. You are going to have fun! I totally get the not model bod feeling but as long as you are feeling strong. I think that's sexy. You must be working out to have lost 30lbs so that's awesome. Have a great time. Remember your FI loves your body and will most likely be surprised that you even are doing this. I know mine will be. enjoy!

It's nice seeing everything laid out. Thanks for posting!

very cute Petal~!
