Me too I'll be keeping an eye for all you girls. Courtney your just tooo funny, your so goig to be blast to hang out with!! this is going to be an amazing week!! Couldn't agree more with the group photo!! Got everything done Courtney? and the rest of you girls?

So you only need to be there 1 day before the wedding?! that's amazing!!! Who was it that was that got married yesterday? just their legal ceremony in town. Congrats!!!!

Happy Saturday, your wedding is in 2 weeks exactly from today!!! And I leave to go to Punta Cana on your wedding day!!

Hey girls, Hope everyone is having a good week, everyone getting all the last min stuff prepared. I'm so happy, makes me really feel like I'm getting married today, as I got all my weddingstar order in. I don't know why this stuff makes me more excited, I admit... I'm weird, that or I just realize how much time we have left to go!! It's engraved with our first initial, and the date. I originally had these to be just our names, but when I got the call today saying it was in, they said they had to re inburse me for the engraving the charged to have the names, as these can only have 'bride and groom' I was ok with that, and they gave us he $$ back, but when I got home and open them, on the back side had our names on it!!!! Bonus!!! I know this looks tacky because of the purple beads, but at the wedding they will be white/clear not purple so it'll look much better. Was just to give me an idea. And those are the heavy as ol' heck candle holder's. Well Now I'm officially ready to get married, regardless of what is left to do lol.

Was it you Carrie, looking for a seashell to put the rings of for the ring bearer? Well as promised I have the picture, I just was able to upload it now. I think my pc is officially over worked lol . I am not sure if there is anything that can be done with what I have, but you can decide. I'm also looking for something other then a pillow for my ring bearer as well.

I'm just going basic dark brown, it's that color now, but want it one color, no natural high lights for this chiky, and besides, it will make my hair super shiny!! can't wait Us too, Our flight is at 6:50 so 3:50am at the airport, but a little trick...I use to work at the airport for an airline company. When your flight is that early, you can be there for more like 4:30. The people at the counter don't usually show up until 4am

Thanks Nat, the brochures did turn out nice. well I'm so looking forward to seeing it, keep us posted about the dress, good luck for Monday!!! Jenna, Well that's not too bad at al!!! looks like your prepared. Looking forward to hearing your view and seeing your pics!!! Meghan, LOL your 2 funny.. you guys do def seem a lot like (in all the good ways possible, nothing bad) Poor FI I am sure if he's anything like mine, he doesn't want to hear anything more!!!! I'm so excited to see your flowers. Oh yes Easter dinner, I have no time lol!!!

(His was much harder to find, he's so picky on "suitable" colours...) I'll go back tomorrow for some little summer dresses to put on for dinners. Since I lost so much weight last year, my wardrobe is pretty screwed up. Sounds like my FI, took me forever to take him to get a second bathing suit for the second week. It's all about the suitable colours. lol men!!! gotta love 'em, or do we? lol j/k

It's looking like we might be able to do he 15th.... let me know what everyone thinks of this. It'd be Thrusday.

Nat, Just love the gift for the family. The window signs are adorable. Great job!!! Jenna, I am so so happy his able to fix it for you, sorry you had to drive so fun but you must feel so relieved, it was probably worth the 2 hours drive (1 hour each way right?!) Can't wait to see pics. Oh wow, you can actually see 10 day forecast? I can't do that!! lol How much do you have left to do? BTW- Meghan, your so right about the bouquts, but still like all the real touch ones much much better then mine, but oh well.. no one is going to remember the BM bouquets!! I've put way to much thought into I guess. Can't help myself lol.

Erin, great to hear about the flowers!! can't wait to see the finish! Meghan, that's great you got the whole bridal party dressed!! Me too, just got the BM attir in, he came over today to try it, and it fits. Girls have all their attir. Set and Set. Def feeling likes it's finally finally coming together, still a lot left tho. WHen are you doing your flowers Meghan?

Hey! don't worry you haven't missed anything yet, we haven't confirmed a date for a meet and greet. I am trying to see if we can do it when we are all there, no one misses out. Yes I think Country too and I will be in our dresses at the disco, so you'll know who to come up to!! lol It's going to be so so much fun, looking forward to meeting ya! wow, thats amazing!! so happy you were able to stick with the star fish theme, I don't really have a theme lol. Let us know how the hair went today, I was also thinking of dying, but then said I don't ever dye my hair, I don't want to do it now and then it gets screwed up. I still need to go for a hair cut, I guess I'll do that Monday!

Carrie, Good luck with the book, I know you can get it done!!! I'm sure it's going to look amazing. What a great idea, but I wont start any new projects now. As I found out 12 more ppl are coming, so now I have to make their OOT bags!!! lots of works, plus everything else that is left.

Really!!! so close to the wedding GOOD for you, admire you 1000%!!!! I could never/would never do anything like that. I hope you have fun!!! LOL mmmm... pizza and wings!!!! (Not a fan of beer.. too my yest for me) Let us know how it goes, def interested!!! I know once we get to the resort, I'll be picking out for 2 weeks, hard core lol!! Quote: Originally Posted by MilitaryMrs.s-to be You arrive on the 13th? Come on down to the disco, we'll be partying it up there, Tracy and I get married that day! Woot! I think I read that it opens at 11?? Which makes sense thats when all the other resorts discos opened that I've been to. All the table centerpieces and stuff, I'm not going to bring down, I pack way to heavy for that, I think I'm up to 9 new bathing suits and were only there for 7 days. And I pack my outfits like that too, so I'm not going to bother to bring anything down for the tables. I'm having my AHR 6 days after we get home and HOLY STRESSFUL that is. I want to scream with the amount of crap I've been doing for that, I haven't really even had time to sit and think about the wedding itself because we have to have EVERYTHING done for the AHR before we leave cause theres not enough time to do anything when we get back.....uughhhhhh.................I could cry, I want to go on vacation....... Yes you'll def have to meet us at the disco. Courtney my beach party finishes at 11 and the disco opesn at 11:15..gives me enough time to walk over there. 9 bathing suits!! lol oh man you sound like me so much... I also over pack, more like 20 outfits for 7 days, but I can't do that this time. As I do have OOT bags, and I am bring centerpieces with candles around them and candle holders. Hey who ever can find tea light holders, let me know... cause I looked forever, seems like they don't sell them anymore!!! ? OMG girl, your also planning AHR!!! your insane!!!!! We're only having it in July, so we still have time to plan, or even decide not to have it. Like Carrie, I don't work and money is tight. So we are def trying to get out of it, but if we do have it, it'll be a cheap affair (legion, cheap caterer, no favours, ok maybe mints) I can't even think about it, so good for you!!! totally admire you for having the courage to pull it off. Has Mke been home lately then? Carrie, your starting a new job before you leave for your wedding? Another girl I totally admire!!!! I wouldn't even dare think about starting a new job this close to the wedding. WHat's the new job? You know what, I much rather a beautiful house, then a party that cost $1000 any day. So you guys made the perfect decision.

I like it too!!! But like Mel said it's def all about how you feel about it, after all it's only you wearing it for the rest of your life. Mmmm.. maybe adding a few dimonds on the sides, if it;s way out of the budged (sorry to say this) but crystals. I just bought my wedding jewellery and they are crystal and they are so close alike. Maybe it's to think on the top? is that what you don't like? Maybe the guy can shave it down a bit on the top. I don't know,I like it!!! YEs, def nice looking hands lol (talk about hands,you should see my thumbs.. got them from my mom, but their chucky as ol' heck! so don't feel bad!!!) Very pretty!! Absolutely love your E-ring, FI did one hell of a job on it. Lucky girl you!!! I had to go shopping for mine, after 6 years together FI still didn't know what I wanted! lol!!

Oh nooo I am soo so sorry you don't like them. Do you really have to drive that far, no one closer to see if you can fix it? If worse comes to worse, you can fix it after the wedding (it's what we decided to do for the engraving) I feel horrible for you!!

aww thanks!! I wish you 2 all the luck for making them as fast as possible. LOL I know the feel, when FI is at work during the day a lot gets done, once 5 hits, it's all over!! ohh nice of her to do that for you. Are you dying it the normal colour you usually go for? I wanted to dye my hair but I never do, so I didn't want to screw anything up. But I have 3 different colours all natural. I guess it being up you wont be able to tell as much... ? I hope lol.

Erin, hope you feel better real soon, especially for your trip. My mom is sick too, probably from the weather changing all the time!! taraappl Loved your story, def a 'and they lived happily ever after' story, sooo sweet. I am so happy you guys found each other!!! Michele, There is room actually for our week. The prices had gone sky high after Christmas, is the reason they couldn't book, the price were in the $1500-1600... so they did warn me if they price didn't drop they wouldn't make it. 2 days ago the prices drop down to the $1200, so they are able to afford it now. All I can say is they should have consider this when they found out about a wedding, but I know these people, they always (no matter what) book their trip 2 weeks before their departure date. It's very very frustrating and annoying, but also very happy more people, more the merrier. It's just all the OOT bags now I've got to make and more centerpieces (more tables) The day is fast approching, so all I can think about how close we are to not worrying about anything anymore, just get to enjoy the company and the beach. Meghan, sorry to hear about the friend dropping out, I'm sure ur Fi is a little disapointed, but he probably figured as much! can't wait to see pics of the real touch flowers, now you all making me want them and feel like my bouquets are crap! lol. LOL your to funny about the Suzy help! You guys will have fun making them, and watching the little one! keep us posted!!

But then again thats just one more thing to worry about while I'm trying to get ready to leave so maybe I will just wait until I get there. Plus, I love Mike to death but he is driving me crazy, he doesn't give any input into anything, its always "Whatever you want babe" ugghhhhh........Just say YES OR NO!! lol Well, I kinda of ask Carolina if I could fly in on Saturday as suppose to the legal time 3 days before, she was fine with that, but I said I'd already have my menu picked so it wouldn't take as many meetings with her.she said ok.. But I can't figured it out until she shows me the options lol so I jsut have to wait. So don't worry you don't have to pick it now OMH My Mike is doing the same thing, we are totally butting heads right now!! Same same thing 'whatever you want babe' Or even worse, I found out 12 more people are coming, and all he can say is 'how much more is it going to cost us' GEEZ!!!! I told him to be happy people feel we are important enough to come down, where as his own friends don't. Not even 1, they are all my friends!!! Quote: Originally Posted by beachbum Tracy, you're right, i'm there starting the 11th. And, thanks for making me not feel as bad about the raisin bread and girl scout cookies i had! Great, glad I got it right, Phew!!! I'm not alone!!!! lol Girl scout cookies.. those are soo darn good!!!!! Quote: Originally Posted by [email protected] I arrive on the 15 aswell, around the same time... we are flying in SunWing from Toronto, although my FI and I leave on the 29 (our guests all fly back on the 22). Where do you fly in from? Maybe we will be on the same shuttle : ) Perfect, got your date down. Quote: Originally Posted by sungoddess_08 I had girl guide cookies today too!! ahhhh -- lol, a little 3.5 year old girl was "selling" them. How can you resist?!? LOL!!!! and how couldyou resist the cookies!! Too funny, you deseves it any how don't worry!

also check walmart out, they have great items.. it's where I made my FI BD book. I'll scan a pic from the book so you can get an idea on what it looks like. 12 pages (4 pics on each) was $33, each extra page is $1.39 I'll post pics when I get back, gone back out to get the GM clothes (woohoo) I still need to catch up!!

So I just woke up about a half hour ago (I know I'm lucky for you girls who are working, but if it means anythin, I do have a disease that makes me supper tired a lot) Anyway... I woke up to 2 e-mails, 1 from the T.O ppl saying now they ARE coming and they are no longer at 6 people but at 7 and possible 8 by the time they book this weekend. The other email from my cousin saying she booked for the 8th-15th. I just checked on Vistaprint for the bags, and they are not 50% off!!!!!! plus the dollar store has no more mugs like I have, so I have to go to Canadian tire and buy $4.99 ones, which will def add up. I guess the bridal party and parents will get the better ones and everyone else gets the dollar store ones. OMG and I have to label everything, make hang over kits. Oh man, I'm going to be up for the next 48 hours trying to get it all done!!! I'm ready to throw up now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm just out the door to go buy most of the things, and get the cats their pedicure (lol) I will def be back to read you amazing cute story!!! Thanks Meghan, Michele for your support, I know FI feels like telling them all not to come as it's just way to last min, plus we have to worry about bring their bags since they are out of town !!

Suzy, Love the bouquet. I guess you'll need to get cracking on some stuff, and just leave the none important things to last min, and if there is no time, no one will miss it. Yaaah!!!! Let us know what she say tomorrow then!! I can finally start handing mine out too, now that I got the brochures.... but I'll wait until the end of the week to see if the other 6 guest are coming. YES I'm still waiting for people to book.. this is so ridiculous!!

I'm jealous of your banana bread! i've been craving something chocolatey but have resisted -- we've been SO good the last 3 months!! Did you decide on your wedding menu yet?! I saw you on palladiumaddict (i'm sungoddess there too) LOL, you don't hear to many people now and days being taugh by them! I am sure it's not the same! you don't get to go around spanking them with a ruler lol Oh I say go head indulge in a little chocolate, you totally deserve it!!! I've been really bad with the shoe string fries. But intead of frying them, I bake them, saying to myself it's way bettter, ya right!! lol . So I totally admire you for being able to be that good for 3 months!!! I didn't decide on my menu!!! Steak or chicken, ya know! lol . I think I'll just wait and see her menus that I can pick from, make it look like i don't need to think about it, but just make my mind up on the spot lol! Oh I haven't noticed you on palladiumaddicts sorry!!! Isabelle, Got it, I'm there until the 24th (I'm going to miss my cats lol!)

That's so cool, and..... how was the experince? Must have been sooo different. Who knew they still had schools like that!! My mom was taught my nuns lol. Actually FI had 1 left when he went to school. That's so amazing that your a teacher!! Confirm, banana bread was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

aww, your hair is going to be so nice, yes lots and lots of hair spray!!! Aww, I'm sorry your alone for 9 days, I know how it feels FI travels enough for weeks at a time. The big thing left for me is to make my scavanger hunt list for the photo's I want everyone taking from the disposable camaeras. But again I'm still waiting to see if 6 people are coming, I've sent an email saying I needed to know in the next few days, stil no reply. If they do come, I have to make up 5 bags, and eveything that goes in it plus label everything. The rest is just print a lot of things (emails from the WC, guest arrival times, ect..) But I still don't feel like I'm ready... I'm packing little by little each day. Wow, I can't believe how many days you leave in, do you feel ready? hope you have time to post a pic of the rings, love to see them!!! What kind of attactments are you trying to upload? Maybe it'd be easier (if it's photo's) to goto photobucket and get a free account, upload there, get 'img' code and past in your msg here.

Isabelle, are you doing 1 week or 2 at our resort? Def, everyones support and ideas have been a great help!!! Dawn, are you going to be staying at our resort for 1 week or 2? So far I have Danielle on the 17th Isabelle on the 15th Courtney on the 11th and i just put Steph arriving on the 11th ? And me on the 10th Sorry I think it'd also be a lot easier if everyone add's when they are leaving.
