Well, my sister and 11yr old daughter are my only bridesmaids. I thought my family might throw something together, but nope. Aw, I'm sorry

I guess they feel that since I am not treating them all to a lavish affair with a reception then I should not be entitled to a shower. Even though we are having an AHR (catered lunch in a banquet hall) that doesn't qualify. That's too bad.. Traditionally, showers are to be thrown by the bridal party and NOT family. Are your girls telling you no shower too?

Erin and Jennierin- For awhile I felt like all the Melia weddings were over. Now comes us, the fall ladies. I can't wait!! The time is flying by. We'll just miss each other jennierin...

Congratulations Lori! You look beautiful. Thanks for the very detailed review. My wedding there is 2 months from today!! YAY!

Thanks everyone! Now I wish I had a bigger house to make use of everything

Hi ladies! My bridal shower was last Sunday. It was truly amazing. My girls did a wonderful job!!! Their was about 25 people there. Everyone was very generous and I received a LOT of gifts. I felt like a princess My FI's famillly even came up from Cincinnati for it (about 6 hour drive to Chicago.) Just wanted to share for those of you looking forward to yours.

I am bumping this thread up. I was trying to wait until I have my 2nd dress in my hands, but my financial situation has taken a bad turn I would like to sell this asap. Any offers?

Prepare yourself for the jealous people. Getting married seems to bring out the worst in people, unfortunately

We are having our at Melia. We have been there before and LOVED it!!! Check out weddings in the dominican republic at www.debbiesdominicanforum.com. A HUGE thread with past and present Melia brides and their weddings. Good luck!!

That was my understanding anyway. Just my 2 cents to clear up any confusion. If you opted to have a LEGAL ceremony at your resort, then NO you do no need to "legalize" it in the U.S. It will be a legal marriage already. In some countries (like D.R. for example), it is a lot of paperwork and $$ to have a LEGAL ceremony. So in our case, we are having a SYMBOLIC ceremony (which is an actual ceremony and no one would even know it is not a legal ceremony). We plan to marry secretly in the U.s. BEFORE we go. That way we can celebrate a real honeymoon as well. HTH!

I never heard back from this person. Forget it.

I'm the jokster with the twisted type of humor that is very blunt at work and so is he. Only thing is he comes across as being very cocky, but he's not. Anyways, I had ...don't laugh.... a pair of tickets to see Bon Jovi last year in Boston, Mass and the friend that was suposed to go backed out, etc. I had no one to go with. Jessie overheard and suggested that he invite himself and I kept saying... oh, well so and so may go, I'll let you know. I ended up calling him at the last minute(the day of) to go and he was the last person to ask. We went and I thought it would be awekward in the car for so long, but it wasn't. The show and Boston in general was great. While walking in the street of Boston he quietly went for it: held my hand. It felt so natural and from that day...exactly 1 year from today.... we have never been apart at all. Not one night. Actualy, I have to get off this computer soon because we're going back to Boston tonight for a dinner cruise on the harbor and the Tall Ships are there to see for our 1 year aniversary. In just a few weeks we will be married in Jamaica. I can't wait. As he said, I'm a girl version of him (but more girl "evil"lol than him) and I guess that's what he was looking for: to date himself! lol I am a BON JOVI nut! LOL!!! I love that your first date was at a BJ concert. They totally ROCK!

I got my 2nd dress from the Watters trunk show. There was a 10 % discount. They had the fall 09 collection which hasn't hit the salons yet. I say GO! It was like a regular appointment with a representative of the designer there. They were not samples you could take with, I ordered mine. They even put a rush on it for me for no extra charge since it was my second dress and my wedding is in 3 months.

When I first saw my FI at work (the new male resident on the floor) we work with ALL women and they were all talking about him before he started. I was like come on, no big deal! LOL! Then I talked to him for 5 minutes and fell in love. Of course, I was just being ridiculous, because I think he is super hot! We were offically in love about 6 weeks later, and that's when I knew he would be my husband someday. ( I even told my MOH- watch we are going to get married). 2 1/2 years later a Wa La!

Thanks!! I am not very creative, so I am happy it came out straight. lol.

I bought the iron on from Joanne's and made it today! So cute!!!

I used Kari Kileen in Chicago. She makes handmade invitations. I sent out invitations to eeveryone, that way no one felt lef out. Also, many people will want to send you gifts even if they can't make it, so it's better that tehy get an invitation.

We are having our ceremony at 4 p.m. followed by Cocktails for an hour. I am not sure what time our dinner will start, I am guessing 6:30 or 7. The resort hasn't given me these details, I only know the ceremony time for sure.

Although my FI has also said that he thinks it's completely unnecessary and roled his eyes at me, lol. HAHA! MEN!!! If I really want it I will get it

My FI told me not to have the horse and carriage becasue it is cheesy.

I just thought you guys would like to know that we are both at work today, for almost 4 hours now. I haven't really spoken to her (trying the ignoring thing), and it seems so is she. We haven't said 2 words to each other. I feel like this is so childish, but honestly I haven't been feeling up to another confrontation. The last one had me crying for several days... KLC77- Those words were from the last confrontation (which I thought was resolved) but it appears nothing has changed
