Here are the 2 locations - the Registry General is out b/c they close at 12pm and Mark gets in at 11:30am, so it doesn't work out. Tomorrow is going to be just about us. We have our neighbors who have been married 33 years as our witnesses, and the Pastor. I have always loved this Park in Bermuda, it was across the street from the first house mark and I first lived in. I am super excited! Location #1 below is in an inlet in case its too windy for up by location #2. OMG!!! HOW EXCITING!!! OK, those two spots are GORGEOUS! How lucky are you that you live in Bermuda and get two beautiful weddings? I'm so excited for you!!

I bought 30 lanterns for $55 @ Asianideas.com $64 with shipping.

I'm so glad to hear that!!! Can't wait to see your teasers

The only problem I just ran into is that the WC told me we got have a Welcome dinner in one of the restaurants for an extra coast and now she is saying we can't b/c the resort doesn't offer this option. It is only for the Silver/Gold Package. But the price of the Sky Wedding and Pearl package equal the same as the Silver package so I think it is stupid. I actually booked my wedding SO long ago I was able to get the Sweet Free Wedding Package and added the Sky Deck. So my package came with the free dinner for 40 and the honeymoon dinner and breakfast in bed.

How was your BD shoot yesterday?!

Exactly my FI is on the project of putting together the LED lights and batteries to hang in them. I'm thinking of doing white Christmas lights too, do you girls think that's too much to hang them from lights also? The place I bought them from which after shipping costs and all that was the cheapest was Paper Lanterns, Chopsticks, Japanese Kimono, Chinese Dresses, Asian Wedding Favors

I also heard that Azul maxes at 2 weddings per day. My wedding will be on the Sky Deck so we won't be seeing anyone else and I have a private reception at Zocollo terrace so no one will be close to us anyways. Besides, I could see myself seeking out a beach wedding reception after mine and going and saying congrats to the other bride! haha

30; 10 in 3 different sizes and I'm really just taking a stab in the dark with that number I was told by a friend to bring more but I already have tons of stuff to bring so I figured 30 couldn't be too sparse, right?

Quote: Originally Posted by thefuturemrslutz I LOVE your choices!!! "Let It Be Me" is definitely in the mix too! And yes, 311's Love Song. I LOVE it!!!!! Even if we don't dance to it for our song, I want to put it in there somewhere! If you were coming to my wedding, it would be our song, LOL!!

Quote: Originally Posted by taylorwd I LOVE that! How fun and what a great idea! I'm going to look into that for my guests. Thanks! Let me know if you decide you want them, I'm selling those in the picture

Hi girls! Alright so I'm in OOT bag frenzy mode right now... somehow in the mix of it all I ended up with an erroneous order that had to be resent but they let me keep the wrong item. I ordered 25 dry erase door hangers complete with the plan dry erase market that has a sticky thing you peel off to expose and stick on the door hanger. I bought these to put in OOT bags for my guests so they can leave notes for each other and mention where they are. I could see my guests having a lot of fun with this. I ordered plain white ones but the ones that came say "Leave a note" at the top and "Go Mavericks" at the bottom randomly... I was planning to sell them with a few more items after the wedding but thought I'd offer them to you girls before I did that just in case. I have 25 door hangers and 25 pens - $25 which includes shipping costs

Ok mine: Bridal party (processional) aisle song - "Brighter Than Sunshine" Aqualung Bride aisle song - "Something" The Beatles cover by Jim Sturgess from Across the Universe Wedding party (recessional) aisle song - "I Want to Break Free" Queen Reception entrance song - "Black & Gold" Sam Sparro First dance song - "The Only Exception" Paramore or "Let it Be Me" Ray LaMontagne Father/daughter song - none Mother/son song - not doing Cake cutting song - ? LOL!! I just thought of this "Sugar, Sugar" Baby Bash OMG, I'm laughing with tears in my eyes blasting this at work... Bouquet toss song - ? Garter toss song - Move Bitch by Ludacris sounds pretty amazing, unsure though! Last song of the night - ?

Renee - I love that your dad picked out your guys song 10 years ago, too cute! Jealous, I dont' get one of those! LOL, I have seen that video! Totally something I'd do if I had the time or sanity. I really wanted to dance down the aisle too but I doubt that will happen Nicole - of course we care! I love your aisle song, that song was suggested to me by one of my close friends, it's beautiful. OMG - Your recessional song was my first choice!!! What I ended up deciding on is "I Want to Break Free" by Queen Love, love, love November Rain too! Meghan - I love Michael Buble! With your dance lessons it's going to be such a beautiful first dance Lindz - Good thing to start thinking about! Songs are something I've been steadily working on for about 6 months now, I didn't want to have to rush it. Love Song by 311?! This is what I wanted our first dance to be to but FI thought it was weird, I LOVE IT! "You Are the Best Thing" by Ray LaMontagne is my second option for a recessional... I have a lot of back ups... Maybe I should post MY songs, LOL!

What is everyone doing for their focal songs? Meaning... Bridal party (processional) aisle song - Bride aisle song - Wedding party (recessional) aisle song - Reception entrance song - First dance song - Father/daughter song - Mother/son song - Cake cutting song - Bouquet toss song - Garter toss song - Last song of the night - Let me know too if I'm forgetting a category

Awesome list!

Awww, I'm sure if you have someone video it or send her ample pictures she'll absolutely love it

Quote: Originally Posted by ~Crista-Lee~ Welcome Jamie! Great choice! My best advice is to make sure you pick a good TA - if you're using one. Crista AGREED! Also, if you pick a TA and end up not liking them shortly after, CHANGE immediately! Don't wait, it won't get any better

Quote: Originally Posted by vdaybride Thanks so much!! I like those!! Gonna steal one Oh good! Let me know what you use because I still can't decide for myself, LOL!

They will have similar flourishing as the other signage throughout the wedding. So will the signature drink frame. I will add these pics to the thread before I leave. Still need to make a sign for the cigar roller table I have the frame, but don’t know what to say.... Any suggestions? First of all FABULOUS planning thread, everything looks amazing and so detail-oriented, I love it! Makes me feel very romantic <3 I too am having a cigar roller at my reception and planned on making a sign. Instead of cake togo boxes I bought cigar to-go's baggies! Maybe something like this: "Life's good! Please enjoy a celebratory cigar in honor of ______ & _______" or "It's time to celebrate! Light up and enjoy a cigar" or "Light up and enjoy!" Those aren't great but just off the top of my head

LOVE them!! I was heavily considering these as well in ivory

Picking the "perfect" destination has been so much harder than I expected. I have been very heavily researching countries and resorts for the past 6 weeks (feels like years), and I'm pretty excited to have picked Azul! I have never been there before, so reading everyones reviews has been extremely helpful. Does anyone have any pictures of the garden gazebo they mention online? I've only seen one picture and it looks like it cant hold more than 10 guests? Any other random tips for this first stage of the process? Thank you all in advance! Jaime Welcome Jamie! Glad to have you Katie on here is May 7th this year and I'm May 8th so woohoo for May brides!! I haven't seen a picture of the garden gazebo either... the coordinator you are assigned to should have photos of this. Tips for the first stage of the process... if you find yourself getting stressed, just take a breath, make a list and try and relax. There are going to be many opportunities to get stressed but so far in my 2 years of wedding planning, it hasn't been worth it. Use the girls on the forum as they are a wealth of knowledge and a virtual shoulder and will listen to your vent. We're all going through the same things on here so don't ever feel alone or like you have no one to talk to. Planning threads and pictures are my best source of inspiration, happiness and excitement So enjoy planning your wedding, this is a unique time in your life! Amy (P.S there are 3 Amy's on this thread FYI)
