selina

Thanks for listening. I really have no one to talk to right now and am thankful to have your ears (or... eyes). After I emailed her telling her that I wasn't comfortable with her being my MOH, she sent me a response with about 25 F words calling me every name in the book. Then said to have a nice life and not to bother contacting her anymore... So, that does it I guess. Nice sister I have. *Sigh

I didn't know where to write this. I am hoping it's okay to put it here since it does pertain to my dress. I need to vent right now. I am so upset. So my sister was chosen to be my MOH, not because we're super close or best friends or anything... but because I was hers and my mom insisted that she be mine (think she also insisted on me being hers at her wedding). When we booked our trip I got a call from her asking if she could invite HER in-laws?? Her mother in-law and her father in-law. So even though I really wanted the week in Mexico to be a chance for my parents to get to know my FHs parents... I agreed and said fine, no problem. Didn't wanna cause any problems. So 3 weeks ago I set up a date to go dress shopping. We're going this Saturday. I invited my MOH (sister), my mom, and my best friend. That's it. Everyone agreed and we were all set. Well yesterday my mom told me that my sister wouldn't be coming because she had to tile her floors.... I was upset and hurt. I emailed her on FB to ask her if that was true. She said yeah sorry. Not even any attempt to make any sort of compromise. I would have changed the time if she had asked. So... this morning my status on Facebook was "Selina is... Very disappointed". Didn't say at who, why or what happened. But my sister jumps all over me and starts swearing and saying that the world doesn't revolve around me, she was gonna come on Saturday but forget it now... She even said "F*ck You"... So it's my fault for being upset that my own sister won't come wedding dress shopping with me. I am the bad one for saying how I feel (but not using names). Then she tells my mom (god knows what) and I get an email from my mom telling me that I am being a "Bridezilla" (yes she actually said those words) and that I shouldn't be putting my business all over FB!!! I emailed my sister and said I am not comfortable with her being my MOH anymore because I don't feel that she is very supportive or that she is going to "be there for me".... She couldn't even make herself available for one of the most important days of my life. Am I wrong for being as upset as I am?

Hi Ladies, I came across this website and thought I'd share. They have a bunch of nice beach themed favors. Beach Wedding Favors - Island Beach Theme Weddings They also have some pretty awesome eco-friendly favors: Green Wedding Favors - Eco-Friendly Favors

wow thanks a ton for posting those amazing pictures. now i am totally sold on the sky deck wedding!! beautiful.

Thanks Gals I know that I shouldn't be "married" to that one dress, that's probably setting myself up for disappointment. I have eyeballed a few others too, but I am in love with this one. I will try on a good 20-30 dresses though I'm sure... LOL!! It's like when I go to Winners... I go in with a cart FULL of stuff and I leave the change room with like 2 or 3 things that actually FIT properly. How far is Kitchener from Burlington?

Thanks for your review!!! That was very helpful. I can understand why they don't want pictures (could cause unnecessary chaos - especially since most of us aren't well versed in the art of construction). I'm sure we'll start seeing some Trip Advisor reviews soon too! Thanks again!! I'm excited.

Maybe I'll see you out and about! Oooh awesome! Is it a wedding convention? I'm hitting up Windsor Bridal on Orfus Road, apparently they have the biggest selection in Ontario. I just hope I can squeeze my ass into that dress. LOL!!

It doesn't even matter if you're coordinated!! http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t16843 Thought I would share my newly discovered fun exercise!! Good Luck with the dress shopping!!! I have been going to the gym... and it isn't fun. I do circuit training 3 times a week... and I hate it, but it's working. But I would LOVE to do something fun that I actually ENJOY. Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out. I used to live in Brampton I'm in Burlington now. So I wonder if there's a class here.

good luck heather!! hopefully this will be something that brings you closer together as a couple and opens the lines of communication. i think pre-marital classes are a great idea. we're doing that too... just because we think it's a smart idea.

I designed the boarding passes myself. I am happy with how they look, but I would like to outsource the ticket jackets and possibly the envelopes too. Does anyone know where I can do that? And approx how much it would cost? TIA

Thanks I am going shopping on Nov. 8th! I'll be sure to take some pics. Hopefully I can lose a couple more pounds by then too. I've been hitting the gym. I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally want this to be the dress.

Hi Ladies, So here's the dress that I am absolutely enamored with... It's Maggie Sottero. It doesn't have a cute name like all the others, just a product number. I am going dress shopping soon. This will be the first dress I try on and what I am hoping will be "THE DRESS". I just love it. I'll be heartbroken if it looks like crap on me. What do you think?

Just changed my date from 10-3 to 10-1 now that I have confirmation.

At least go try some on, and if you find the one you love but are afraid to order a certain size because you might lose weight, wait a few months before ordering it (or as long as you can). Some designers take longer to order than others so at least if you know what dress you want, you know how long it will take to order. Mine is a Mikaella and they said it would take about 4 months to come in (quicker than I thought!) Here's a pic of me in the dress with my mom: Stunning dress!! Look how proud your mom is too!!! Beautiful

That was wonderful. I love that song too. Beautiful
