LOL!!! Throwing up on your dress?! What is wrong with these girls? I mean have fun, have a cocktail but damn! Ok, so I haven't been to too many weddings but this was the worst: Bride met groom 5 months pregnant... he proposes and they marry, with her 8 months pregnant. It's on a Wednesday night in Santa Barbara, CA which is almost 2 hours away @ 7pm so rushing out of work to change and drive up (in traffic) to no actual address, it's a beach location so we are late driving back and forth trying to find out where the portion of beach they are at is. We get there around 7:30pm or later because by time we're standing on the beach it's COMPLETELY dark. There were about 25 of us and we were lined up making an aisle way for the bride. The person at the end of the aisle where she starts her walk is holding a boom box and plays a cd of the Celine Dion Titanic Song, "My Heart Will Go On" The sheer cheesiness of the moment causes laughter burst in me and my best friend which no one can even tell who did it because we're in the dark. 5 seconds into the song it skips, the entire time. We could barely see the bride and who she was marrying, we couldn't hear a word anyone said due to the nearby crashing waves and they were faced away from us. We went to a local restarant after and each paid for our own meal which was fine, at least we were told this was happening. The ceremony was pointless though not being able to see or hear her. Marriage lasted about 6 months... you can't marry the first man that proposes while you're pregnant, this guy has done this since twice!

Carrie I love you cake!!! Very pretty Thanks for the tip on the excursion, I was looking for something so this is helpful. As for getting it all done, you absolutely can, you just need to make a list, tackle ONE thing at a time, every time I start having free time, I drop the other thousand wedding thoughts or activities I'm trying to do and just complete one. Then start another ONE. Take a breathe, you'll get it all done and have a clean home to welcome home your FI, I'm excited for you!!!

Carrie, I was the one asking about the cake but I can't see the image for some reason. If you upload it to photobucket and copy and paste the bottom link that's the easiest way. Good call on getting a letter that the restaurants will be open! Very smart

candicemarie, thank you!! Yes, that's the version I want to use!! I love his voice

Carly, if not for some reason you can always watch all The Office episodes online! The Office | Watch Episodes Online for Free - The Office: Watch Full Episodes Online - NBC Official Site

Gorgeous!! They are so classy I love it!

HAHAHA!!! Kevin kills me I love how Andy kept checking with Michael to see if he was really gay too, genius!

OMG, The Office did NOT disappoint last night! FI and I were totally LOLing =) Amazing, how do they do it?

So our friend is going to turn 'Eye of the Tiger' into a classical, acoustic, lyricless version for us. We'll have it recorded before we go (luckily I've got a friend with the equipment to do it!) so he doesn't have to risk bringin his guitar. Hoping between the song (which will be a surprise to our guests) and our good friends ceremony (he's going to officiate and has been creative liscence), there will be enough humor infused in the event to keep me from being a bawling mess! lol LOL!! That's the best idea I've heard yet!!! I love it, very original

Haha that's awesome and you're right, completely non-traditional! I say do what you want and what you'll enjoy People have got to respect being original and sticking to your very own style! Good luck, when you decide, let me know!

Chrissy, LOL! I feel the same way, I feel like this freakout is mini and I'm gonna completely lose it the month before. Did you send them a picture? If you have time and don't mind, would you email it to me? I am just trying to guage the level of complexity I should challenge them with. I don't you should worry, there have been many brides that have had a succcessful wedding at AS, so at least we know it's possible

Thanks Ashley! I like your thread Do you have any thoughts on what music you want to use for what?

I got very excited when I saw this post because I felt like the only one! Ok so nothing is set in stone yet but here are my ideas: Wedding party processional - "Feeling Good" Michael Buble (my mother hates this idea) Brides processional - "Something" The Beatles Recessional - "I Want to Break Free" Queen Wedding party & Bride & Groom reception entrance - "Black & Gold" Sam Sparro First Dance "Look After You" The Fray (song gets me choked up so I'm still looking) Tell me if I'm crazy

Random question... do any of you girls have your cake decided on as of yet? I have this fear of giving them an inspiration picture that they just butcher. I got really freaked out today for the first time in awhile, my WC sent me my menu options for our honeymoon dinner on the beach and our breakfast in bed options and I think it really hit me for the first time that I'm really getting married. My Lingerie Bridal Shower is on Saturday as well and people keep asking me if I'm excited and I just don't even feel like any of this is real, it kinda sunk in today and I'm short of breathe... I hope this is semi-normal

Gorgeous!!!

I'm glad to hear you got everything worked out Katie! Of course you can stay here, you're my almost date twin!! I am so happy that Ocean Coral is still in Puerto Morelos! I may just have to sneak over there on Friday We definitely need to still meet up for a drink, they can't be that far away from each other and you're still welcome to come party down with us the following day.

Welcome and congrats daniepps!! It's overwhelming at first but it gets easier over time It's nice to have such a lovely group of fellow brides to discuss these things with.

I love it and agree with the girls, the tilt look so cute!! Good job, I'm going for the same thing

Congrats and welcome!! You'll find a lot of useful info and great people on this site
