Take a DEEP breath!! You'll find once you make one decision that everything else will start to fall into place.

Oh my I'm busy at work and home for a little bit and 6 pages pass by!! I had my first wedding shower on the weekend (my mom is leaving at the end of the year for 3 months in FL so it was the only chance she had to throw one). I do not like being the center of attention so it was kinda hard, but all went well. Ugg not much else has been planned. FI needs his clothing and we need rings. I have to head to DC for the rest of the week, but once I'm back he's getting a butt kicking!!

This idea of the AHR is very new for me, I am trying to figure it all out. I do know one thing.. I want everyone to see my dress..lol, but I am in NO rush to start planning anything else right now!! I do have access to a wonderful two story social room that is inside of my bridesmaid building. I could hold it there FREE of charge here is the link to the room Social Room - The Watermark on Hudson Amenities I live in Manhattan and this property is 15 minutes away from my house. I am considering catering some food and watching my wedding video with family and friends WEARING MY DRESS ))) svetayasofiya--no I am not a model..thank you for the compliment That room looks great and 15 mins from you and free makes it even better!! I say go for it. And definately wear your dress again. That's how I justified the price - I'm wearing it twice so divide the price in half. ha ha ha

Everything looks great!! Where did you get your guest book made?

We are also doing the cocktails, dance and late buffet. Just one big party. TeNeil - photocopy your coupon. A friend of mine works there and you can use as many as you want - 1 per purchase though. Also look on the web because they accept all coupons US or Canada. I just printed one off for 45% off. The extra 5% helps!!

That's what I did - this is what you're wearing - done. So much easier and way!! vdaybride - where are you planning on going? I apologize if you already said and I didn't catch it.

I like the idea of something personal between just the two of you. Makes it mean more I think.

Uh I don't want to hear how you guys are done when I have so much to do!! ha ha ha I have all my projects ready to go, just have to print them out. We don't have rings or the FI's suit yet. So I wanted to go look at rings on Sat...he doesn't "feel" like ring shopping today I guess sooner or later he will have to.

Can someone post the schedule for the blue one? And does any one have a picture of it?

I am SO tired of spending money and it's not like we had any to begin with Oh tell me about it. Everytime I go there I say it's only "this much". Ya sure THIS time it's only that much, but what about all the other stuff I have sitting at home. I just can't stop!!

I had a spray tan and I couldn't stand the smell. It's not something you can just wash off if you don't like it.

I just purchased some at Wal-Mart if that helps any one.

Looking at your design I think they'll fit fine. They have them everywhere - grocery stores, drug stores, even dollar stores.

I've used the lifesaver mints for this before. They already come pre-packaged and they look good too. I made these for a bachelorette party and put condoms in. They have so many uses and you did a fabulous job!!

Our AHR is 2 months after the wedding. I sent my invites out in March because they had all the booking information on them - we booked early to save money. How much notice are you giving people for the AHR?

Just bought tote bags from this site T-ShirtWholesaler.com - Wholesale Apparel at discount prices!. Price was great. Delivery is 3-6 business days, but it was delivered to TX in 1. Very impressed with the quality. I was worried about the colour, but it was exactly as it looks on the website.

Great job they look fantastic!!

I've been away on business the last little bit and haven't thought much about the wedding. I just saw when I posted that only 4 months till we get married - yikes!!

So many rules it would be easier to get married in Canada (whatever country you live in) first. I told my FI I want one day and one day only. His sister did two and her husband is always confused what day to celebrate. I think my FI will have a hard enough time with one date ha ha ha ha. We don't have to have blood tests in Curacao, but I just had to pay a company over $300 to legalize our documents. Thank goodness the wedding (gov't fees included) is free when you stay a certain length of time. As for shipping - I've decided to give my OOT bags ahead of time so that they have to pack them and they don't double up on items.

Oh like I didn't know more trips were in the works!! Congratulations - super great news!!

Thank you Julie.

When I click on a link to a thread that someone has posted I get taken to the front forum page and not the page their linking to. Can someone help?

Andi's planning thread has one - post #2. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t41135

When I went I had an idea of what I wanted, but didn't know what would look good so I tried on every dress my friends found. I was definately worn out!! The sales clerk kept pushing about the veil and from the beginning I didn't want to wear one so I was like fine I'll put it on, but I'm not buying one so you're wasting your time. ha ha ha She stopped after that.

I have to say I relate to the Mario Kart one. After playing I get in my car and I have to remind myself that I can run in to everyone ha ha ha
