I agree. That girl was a hot mess. Did you watch the all star challenge? I loved the season with Santino. He and Andre are so my favorites out of all of the seasons. Its too early for me to pick any faves from this season at this point.

omg, I'm a project runway junkie. I have a crush on Tim Gunn (I know its an impossible crush:), but I just love him.

Awww, I'm so sorry I can't believe that people so close to you would be so oblivious to your feelings. I'm one of those "make the best of the situation" types, so thats why I suggested that. I would definitely NOT want to share my wedding either, so I totally get it. I hope it all works out for you. I think your sis will come around. She HAS to see how selfish it is to take away from your wedding. I'm sure she will also realize that she wouldn't want to get married without you by her side also. As far as your cousin.She is SOL. I think, like the others said, your wedding is far more cost effective, and will be chosen between the 2. Good luck and best wishes!

OMG, that totally sucks. I know it may sound like a crazy idea, but do you think she would go for getting married while there too? Add on the cousin in between and you can have all 3 done and everyone can attend. You could probably share a photographer, and get some pretty incredible discounts from the venue and vendors. I know I would be pissed if I had to share my wedding with someone else, but if I had to, I would be certain to take full advantage of the situation.

So far the orchids, both lilies and feather flower are sold. However if anyone still wants a feather flower, it was DIY. I spent about $25 on the supplies, which is why I asked $25 for it. If anyone else wants one, I have no problem whipping up some more to help a fellow BDW bride!

I just ordered these today and am doing them with a mini bottle of Goslings Rum. 120 New PERSONALIZED SHOT GLASSES Party Wedding Favors - eBay (item 350205322997 end time Sep-19-09 13:38:08 PDT)

Thanks! The dimensions are 5x5x3, with a 3" handle. The water bottle inside is a 16 oz. I figured it would help show the size of the bag and what it could hold. As far as my wedding in Bermuda, my wedding planner screwed over another bride pretty badly, and was not following up with me at all. Because it sounded an awful lot like what she had done to the other bride, I decided to call it off and plan here at home. 2 weeks after I emailed that planner to express my concerns, she finally contacted me, and gave me all kinds of attitude and was nasty. Saying that she would never do that to me. Well, then why did she do it to someone else? I wasn't about t take that chance. I am actually thrilled about the decision! It seems like it was meant to be. We booked an amazing venue for an incredible deal (because it was so last minute.) Plus, our family and friends are excited that now they can celebrate with us too. I just feel so overwhelmed, because now we are spending so much more $, and have to pull everything together in 6 weeks! Agghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Everything I have is brand new and never used. Now that I am getting married here, I don't need any of these items. Hair Flowers White real touch lily on an alligator clip. Flower measures about 6" across-$15 White real touch lily flower head- I bought this to match the hair flower, to use on my cake- $12 (looks exactly the same as above) White feather and organza hair flower- measures about 4.5-5" across-$25 Palm leaf favor bags- 20 for $35 Orchid strands- I bought these from another bride on the forum for $30. The other bride said that there are 16 strands, with 10 orchids on each, but I didn't unwind all to check. When I was unwinding one of the strands to look at them, my 1 year old son crawled through them and tangled them beyond recognition. I had to cut it apart. All of the orchids from it are still glued to the fishing line, and just need to be tied back together. asking $25 or best offer. (picture is of the ones I cut) TTD- purchased from Target. This dress is amazing! I really would consider using it as my real wedding gown if I didn't already buy my other one (and was still getting married at the beach.) I don't have a pic of the back, but it even has a cute little train. It doesn't come with the sash that is pictured, and its a size 12 but runs very large. It should fit a street size 14 perfectly.-I think I paid $50, so I would like the same First come, first serve, and I will calculate shipping when you pm me. Thanks!

We paid for their linen suits, and got them these.... Embroidered Cooler Chairs - Free Personalization - $31.95, You Save 36% They actually just arrived today and are really nice. We wanted to get them something practical that they can use all the time. They fold down so they are flat, and are light enough that they can bring them on the cruise with us and they won't be bulky or in the way.

I FINALLY found heels that I LOVE!!!! I saw them in gold at Macys on the clearance rack for only $33 today. Of course they didn't have them in silver, or even in my size. So I check to see what Bloomingdales had, and there they are!!!! They were full price still, but I got the sales lady to match the sale price at Macys! The best part is that they look like my flat version, but with a heel. Sooooooooooooooo excited! and my "comfy" ones...

I'm sure if you call their customer service # and give them the product # they can track it down for you. If not, try a store directly, because many stores have a system in which they can locate available items throughout the company, and they can find out which store has it in their inventory. I am a self proclaimed queen of retail, and have gotten many a bargain by calling around to find what I want! I actually just came back from Bloomingdale's myself, and found my wedding shoes there! The were full price, but I happened to see that Macy's had them on clearance, so I got them to match the $33 price!

I LOVE dress #2. Who makes it?

Ok, here's the link directly to the dress. It looks like the ivory is available but only in a few sizes (hopefully yours!) Aqua Long Chiffon One Shoulder Dress - Evening - Bloomingdales.com

I found this link with that dress in it. Tickled Pink Brides - Orlando, Florida's Premier Wedding Planner: February 2009 It looks like its by Aqua, sold at Bloomingdales. When I went to look for it on Bloomingdales it doesn't look like its available anymore though.

That sucks. Well, I managed many a retail store over the years. If I screwed up someone's schedule and put them on when they clearly requested off, I would own up to the mistake, suck it up, and deal with being short-handed. It's not your fault that the manager screwed up your schedule. I would definitely not work!

Have any of you guys ordered the fakes? At this point I don't think I care if they are fakes or not. Its that I found a pair in light green satin, and I can't find any other shoes from anyone else in that color. If the quality is ok then I may give it a shot. Let me know if any of you have bought from one of those sites, and which site. Thanks!

I am looking at all those discount sites and they seem a little sketchy. How can they charge only $150 for $800+ shoes? Have any of you ordered from a discount website?

We just bought those same Kohls suits for my FI and all the groomsmen. Such a great bargain! We got the entire suit for $65 originally $280!

He's all excited about it now. The place offered us the most incredible deal. As bad as this is, another bride canceled her wedding on October 2nd this past week, which freed up that day for us. We got almost the full wedding package for less than half the price! We also found gorgeous linen suits on clearance for 80% off at Kohls today. I don't want to jinx myself, but it seems like this was meant to be!

Quote: Originally Posted by Jamaica0619 I am so glad it is working out for you. You sound really happy with your decision and that is all that matters. The place looks amazing, and I'm sure the wedding will be fabulous. And, in terms of the alternations - I can't think of a better reason for a dress to need that much altering - congratulations! I used a local photographer for my DW and I checked out another photographer from the area for my DW, so...if you are still looking for one and need any recommendations let me know... I am still looking for a photographer! Who did you use?

So I went and saw my venue today. I am in love!!!! It is so amazing and I am actually thrilled that I am having a wedding here now! I will be sure to post pics of it all!

Happy Wedding Day!!!!! I will be stalking BDW waiting for your pics!

Here's some more info about this! I can only assume that this bride is the one who wrote that testimonial found earlier this week. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t43565
