Okay ladies, here are a few of my BD pics, off the photographers blog Enjoy! Paper Moon Photography Something a little different

I picked a bouquet that I kinda liked, and then asked Valeria to add certain flowers. Of course, I haven't seen them yet, but it was no trouble to add or take away certain flowers from the bouquets.

Thanks, Lauren

Hey guys Just wondering - is anyone getting their legal day witnesses a gift, and if so, what are they giving? I have two friends that are unable to come to our wedding as they both just had babies, and I was wondering if I should get them a little something. You ladies always have fabulous suggestions, so I'll be waiting to hear from you!

Melissa, those look amazing! Great job!

Mel, I agree with everyone else. Your dress is beautiful! I also feel like I'm forgetting something. I think it's because I have so many half finished projects on the go. Hopefully everything I've been waiting on will show up this week and I can be done. On a good note, the lady who did my BD shoot sent me the link to my pics. They turned out way better than I ever thought! I'm so glad I decided to go ahead with this. I will post a few pics as soon as I can. Off to work on my favour tags...

This is perfect! I will PM my address to meli122 Thanks for helping me out!

I managed to keep myself under control during the supper, but for dessert we had pumpkin trifle and my restraint flew out the window! Oh well, 3 weeks until the final fitting Happy Thanksgiving ladies!

Angruck, when do you leave for your wedding? Just wondering if I could fit in the gap I leave November 22 and return December 3. I could overnight the little guy to you. Let me know if this will work!

I am having a bridal shower and stagette next weekend. All of the people invited are also invited to the wedding, with the exception of a few friends of my mom's, who she asked if she could invite. I was fine with that as they will be invited to the AHR.

I like to wish all my fellow Canadian brides a Happy Thanksgiving!

Good luck tomorrow Erika. Wish I could say that I already had a welcome letter you could use, but that's my weekend project

I vote for #3, then #1. I absolutely love love love #3!

LOL Keira, I keep having 'waves of excitement' too! Time has flown by so quickly! I can't believe our big days are just around the corner! On a side note, I did my BD shoot today. I was super nervous before hand, but the lady who did them was awesome and put me at ease right away. I'll be sure to post some teasers when I get them.

Originally I was going to shell out the big bucks for the make up artist, but decided to go with the hair and make up at the spa. I am also doing a trial at home before I go and taking lots of pictures. From the other reviews I've read, everyone was happy with the hair and make up services at the resort. And I'll try to write my review shortly after I get back, with pictures too (of course!)

I'm getting married there next month. And so far, dealing with Valeria has been FABULOUS! She is very good at getting back to you with 1-2 days, you just email her what you are looking for and when, and she will help you out. So far everything has been very stress free. And any past EDR brides on here have said not to worry, they do a great job! I promise to write a review after I get back. If you have any other questions, let me know. Happy Planning!

did my P90 shoulders, chest and triceps this morning, looking forward to a long ride on the good ole recumbant bike tonight

I am so overwhelmed with the costs - I jsut paid a photographer, invitations and dress and don't have an extra $6K! HELP! I booked through a travel agent, and all I had to pay was $150 deposit for the amount of people I thought were coming. Originally I put down a deposit for 10 people, and then went and put down more once I had a better idea of how many were coming. In total I paid $2100 deposit. Have you talked to a travel agent to see if they can offer you a better deal?

I was supposed to get Brandynd's topaz starfish, but considering the circumstances, maybe I better see if there's room for me on another list I'm getting married November 26, leaving on the 23rd, returning December 3rd. Please let me know if anyone can fit me in! Thanks!

I'm sorry to hear that you are no longer having a destination wedding. I know this must be disappointing, but you will have a fabulous wedding at home!! Just remember that all of us BDW ladies (and guys) are still here to help you!

I think you mean Elizabeth Medina and yes, she does awesome pics. I am going with Claudia Rodriguez's photographer Citlalli

Thanks for the info. I just sent in my list today to Valeria with my bouquets, etc. I've only heard good things about the EDR weddings, so I'm not too worried!

I'm so glad to hear that Cuji is home safe! She's probably just overwhelmed and will be back to her old self in no time!
