I have always thought that I would hyphen our names together...but I am liking what some of the others had to say about making my last name like a middle name and adding his with no hyphen... Now I need to think a little more about ...but definitely my last name will stay somewhere.

Just Dinner and then some dancing...and that is another thing...who dances with who and such...I love to dance so that is definitely happening... I am rambling! Sorry.

I will have to just bidget that it somehow cause it really has made a difference (at least for me) Fi didn't notice that specifically but he did say that I was glowing. So maybe you can get a facial and then try to do the upkeep therafter. Thanks maybe I will...I have seen many ladies talk about facials but aren't there different types of facials? If so which is best for blackhead removal?

OK this might be long winded but I really need some advice. families are frustrating! First off...My bridal party situation FI has only one girl standing up for him I have two girls standing up for me Dilemma: How do I pick which of my girls stand up for me (signs the paper)? Do I treat my FI grooms-woman the same as a bridesmaid? (does she get ready with me and the girls on the day of, gets ready with my FI, walks down beach aisle or stands at front with FI, etc.) Next...Dad situation Background: My mother did not tell me about my biological father until I was 15 and I found him just 5 years ago...he did not know about my existence at all so our relationship is still growing. Meanwhile my mother married a man I can dad when I was a baby and I always thought he was my dad up until I was 15. We are very close! Dilemma: I want to walked down the aisle by my dad (married mom) but I feel like I owe it to my bio dad to include him but do not want my dad (married mom) to feel cheated out as he has been the one there for me. Is there a way to include them both, and make me feel guilt free as well as be walked down the aisle? I hope this makes a lot of cents as my Fi gets confused all the time! LOL Can't wait for some suggestions. Another thought...how to I break the news to the dads in the future, no matter what I decide?

This thread is a lot of fun but I would love to hear what unique things people are doing instead of these traditional things... Anyways: - No paper mailed invitations (all done through email) - No shopping for wedding dress with g/f's (did it on my own) - Lived with FI for 3 years before wedding - Bridal party consists of two BM for bride and one GW (groomswoman) for groom - DW - none else in my family has done that! - No ring bearer or flower girl - No traditional suit for the groom (linen pants and shirt) - No rehearsal dinner (everyone will just meet for a unformal dinner - No garter or bouquet toss (mostly b/c everyone coming is hitched - No bridal shower/engagement party/stag or stagette outings - No gifts - No program - No religion I am sure there is more....there are just so many traditions that go along with weddings...I just really want to know any unique things people are doing instead!

I have seen many ladies on her talk about face wash routines and such but I am asking about blackhead removal. It seems no matter how much I clean my face and such that it just does not get down to the blackheads sitting at skin level on my nose and chin. Anyone got an idea or a treatment for removing these pesky things...I swear they have been there since the beginning of puberty! I have heard or going to the dermatologist or something like that and they use a blackhead removing tool to remove them...is this true? Can you get this tool yourself? Any ideas would be great... Thanks

To me the DW wedding is experiencing something differnt, unique and out of the ordinary...really who loves to sit around night after night with the same people when you could enjoy a different part of the resort and interact in a different way. I think AI gives you that freedom and allows everyone to enjoy it. GO FOR IT!

Those are beautiful...it is great to have friends like that...they come in handy more often then you realize when planning a wedding.

Love all your ideas...they have all come together to add a little uniqueness toy our day.

Thanks this is very thorough and will help me out a lot.

This is just great! Love the idea and it was cute too!

This looks great and gave me some ideas for my own! Thanks for sharing

WOW...you sure did take a leap of faith and it really turned out for you...the dress looks great!

Moodreamer Fun:Thriller Habits:Back to Basics Social: Thoughtful Thanks that was fun!

Those are spectacular...I must say you have out done yourself... Great Job

Welcome....have fun with all the info on here!

You look amazing...I am also thinking of doing this for my FI and possibly giving it to him as the gift right before the ceremony in a bound book! Anyways just a question did you supply the outfits or did the photographer? I am just curious... Again you look smokin!

hey ladies, I wanted to share this site with you all...it is really interesting as some of the dresses have never been worn but are name brand and cost much less... Used wedding dresses. New, sample & used designer gowns. Buy & sell Happy Shopping

Well I voted $1000 - $2000 range...I originally budgeted for $500 but when I started to try on dressed at that price where I was it was not working out so I said bring me dresses under $1000.00 and I ended up paying with taxes and alterations $1200 so that is not so bad... I did find this website that was really cool...and really cheap...check it out Used wedding dresses. New, sample & used designer gowns. Buy & sell It has wedding dressed that are brand new and some that have been used but you can get name brand dresses for a lot less! My dress... MaggieSottero.com - Brittanya Lynette - Dress Detail

Ladies, I am struggling in finding an outfit for my FI. I have looked on the web and I live in a very remote area so there is nothing around...so I have to rely on the web. Can you you ladies post pictures and websites of where you got or are getting your FI outfit? I am looking for linen suit or linen slacks and a shirt... Thanks in advance to you all.

WOW...there was a big eye opener...I had not looked into an extra cost per person for the reception. I have just emailed my wedding planner to ask. Thanks for posting this as I had no idea...I hope it is not too much.

I really like this idea...it is unique and something you can actually display in your home when you return. I love it. R

I like the ocean life one...it is simple and you can use it on a variety of things... Good Luck!
