Yes! Where are the pics?

What a great planning thread!!!!! GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS!!!!

I'm so sorry!!!!!

I gained a pound...I'm not happy. I'm blaming it entirely on the fact that I started my period last night, considering I weighed less yesterday. Poo.

It's because you are living in TO that it is so high! TO is the WORST for that. I've had so many friends move back from TO because the costs are so high. I've heard mixed things about Alberta and cost of living...for the most part I have heard that the salaries are higher there...but the cost of living is high too. Maybe it's less than TO though? My advice is extremely uneducated though and just from word of mouth so don't take my word for it! lol. If anything, I think you should move to London...I heard there's this really hot girl there named Lisa....

It's beautiful!! I can't wait to see you in it!

$600!!!!! That's a big ass pot!!!!!

It doesn't have white, can you believe it??!?!? It has white for around the posts like in the pic but for the accenting colours across the top, they only have purple, gold and I believe red. Our colours are white, light blue and fushia, so I want to bring some blue. Thanks so much for your help!!!

mac and cheese and kettle corn is better than a freaking big mac meal followed by a big piece of birthday cake!!!! Gah!!!!

Hello hello!! Here is a pic of our ceremony set up: The colours that the resort carries do not work with our colour combo so we were told we can bring our own and that our WC will set everything up for us (for the arch, we already have chair bows) Does anyone have a clue how much I should bring? or what size? (there are tall rolls and short rolls) Any input would be great!

We are having a legal ceremony and I know that the minister can't sway from what he needs to say in Spanish but can we decide when to do the exchaning of the rings? We weren't even going to say vows but when we heard that the whole thing is in Spanish, we decided to say a little something and thought it would be a nice time to exchange the rings. Is this possible? I loved the vows in one of the first posts and doctered it a little like this: In the company of our family and friends and with their love and support, I Lisa, choose you, Arthur, to be my husband. I will hold you, laugh with you, and cry with you. I will be faithful to you in thought, word, and deed. I will be your loving partner as we build a life together, And from this day forward, until death do us part, I will stand by you. This is my promise to you and I gladly make this promise. I am proud to be your wife. Please take this ring as a symbol of my commitment to you. So, do you think we'll be able to do the ring exchange ourselves?

When we were deciding, we went to a TA at Sears travel (and a few other places but she always had the best deals) and we had her scout out some nice places that weren't going to be too too much $$$. We were flexible on location and she managed to get us the Riu Santa Fe in Cabo San Lucas for 7 nights for $1400 pp taxes in and including flight. It is in Sept which his considered the rainy season but we also reseasrched that and decided to take our chances since Cabo showers are apparantly brief and refreshing. If you are concerned about how much your guests would need to pay (like we were) then give your travel agent a price maximum and let her research some locations for you. Then you can have your pick! Good luck!

For us, the DW is "the more the merrier". We are not covering their travel/accomodation fees so if they want to come then they can come! Most people say no anyways because of the cost so we just made it an open invite. But the other ladies gave great advice regarding what to say....just keep saying: "we're actually only having family for our ceremony and are keeping it small and intimate"

I love the pink one! As long as you are 110% sure that they are coming then I think it's a cute idea!

Me too!!! I was angered by it! Poor thing...

So Exciting!!!! We are sending our invites out in a couple weeks and I'll be excited to get our first RSVP too!

I love it!!

This wasn't an issue for us as we didn't want our wedding to be the day after we got there anyways lol.

I was thinking something like that! Thanks so much, I'm reallllly bad at stuff like this!

OOOOOO Jacilyn!!! Sooooooo pretty!!!!!!!

I'm worried about this week's weigh in! I felt like I did ok eating wise but not the best...yesterday was disastorous...I had a big mac meal, ugh!! I was disgusted with myself this morning and worked out big time today and ate really well. I plan on doing the same for tomorrow and Tues to try and make up for my laziness! How was everyone's weekend?

My wedding is not until Sept but I wouldn't be worried about it. It seems to be the worst in crowded cities and not affecting the resorts. Just be smart and hygenic!!!

I'm not good with the whole fashion/accessory thing. What kind of necklace/earrings would you wonderful ladies recommend with this neckline/straps? Thank you!!!!..and again, I'm not wearin gloves with my dress! it's just to keep it clean! lol

We are, simply as a formality. Plus our invites have both the DW invite and the AHR invite in them, so while some may not be able to attend the ceremony, many will be able to attend the AHR. I wouldn't want anyone to feel hurt or excluded that they didn't even receive an invite.
