There are some great ideas here! Thanks for posting! I am gonna start to make a list now...I'll have to post it once I am all finished. I know it's a little random, but sometime throughout the night I want to have the song that Adam Sandler sang to Drew Barrymore in the wedding singer ( "I wanna grow old with you") I think it's such a sweet song :-)

Oh thank you so much for posting all of your ideas! I know I still have tonnes of time but I know this will be something I will have a hard time choosing. My dad LOVES Elvis so I would like to find a good song by him, but they are mostly about couples (kinda awkward for a dad/daughter dance) I am such a daddys girl so I have a feeling I will be a puddle of tears during this part. Gotta get on you tube and check out some of your ideas :-)

We haven't nailed down a group rate yet for that reason...a lot of guests are saying the price we are getting quoted is too high...I think we are going to give it a few more weeks than just book it and whoever books with us does, and if they don't and the price goes up or there isn't room than that's too bad for them. The ones who truly want to be there will be there for you. I imagine most DW brides go through this.

Thanks for this! It's a great way to keep yourself in check

They look great! Thanks for sharing

Wow I just read through this whole thread and all I can say is that guy is unbelievable. To treat a potential client like that is extremely unprofessional on so many levels. Sorry to hear that you had to experience that ass...and thanks for letting us future destination brides know...I am currently in the process of looking for a photog to come to Cuba so I will be sure to stay far away from him!

I like the second one the best, than the thrid

What a bizarre 'rule'....I have never heard of that and it really doesn't even make sense. I have been procrastinating making mine but when I do it will be on everything!

Congrats and welcome to the forum!

I am a dental hygienist, and there are basically two trains of thought about invisilign. They are appealing to adults who don't want the typical braces look and I have seen them give really nice results. The downside is that when your an adult it's a lot harder to move teeth and bones....which is why you mostly see teens/preteens wearing braces - their mouths are still growing and developing so it's easier to maneuver. So for adults it may take a little (or a lot) longer to move and shift teeth that have been in their 'spot' for a long time because they are comfy there, and the invisilign method isn't as strong as typical braces so that will add to the time you need to wear them. Biggest advice would be to wear them as you are supposed to, and if you are given a retainer for afterwards, wear that every night b/c your teeth will always want to move and shift back to their 'home'. Hope that wasn't too much dental talk...I am a huge nerd and could talk teeth forever LOL.

I went to a DW last November where the couple just told everyone they would be taking the catamaran tour on the Friday (the day before everyone was leaving), and whoever was welcome to join them could. About 22 of 46 of us went on the tour and we each paid our own way and had a blast! Like what has already been mentioned, for a lot of guests they are using it as their vacation time so they can do as much or as little as they want (outside of the wedding day of course). When we go down my FI is taking a day to golf and inviting any one who wants to come (again to pay their own way), while the same day I will go to the spa and again give the open invite. We will most likely do the catamaran trip again as well. I plan to post all of info on our wedding website and spread the info by word of mouth.

Great ideas on here! Thanks for sharing. :-)

your AHR looked great! I am doing the same colours as you. Your cousin is precious!

Those were some great ideas...what is a dollar dance? I have never seen or heard of this?

good for you for doing what's best for the both of you - I think we get so caught up in what everyone else might want or like that we start trying to please others and forget about what we truly want.

Looks great! I love the colours

congrats and welcome!
