I made my own template for the stickers for the mugs. I am still trying to find someone to print them with waterproof stickers. If your in the states you'll have much luck and office max (something of the name) I can only upload the picture, so you'll have to copy it. past it in a word doc, then you can open it up in photoshop and redo it the way you like it. I have many other pictures if you don't like this one, just let me know. I size is 3 inch by 3 inch.. you can play around with the size as well.

We are 8 months away...how soon should we do this? sorry the $2000 I think only apply to those who live in Quebec and want to change their names. When you come back you have the choice in ON you can change all your info with your Husband last name or you don't have to.. right?! not sure.. But here in Quebec there is no choice, you keep your last name, so if you really wanted to change it, it'd cost $2000. I'll be using WEDO as well, I will do it 2 and half months before we leave. It's only good for 3 months the paper

I did get to see a few of the pix before I left and they were great. I barely recognized myself, haha. I think I may have a hard time picking out images for my book! My only advice is to relax....and like she kept telling me, "stick that booty out!" yaaaah!!!so happy you had fun and were able to enjoy yourself!! Glad to hear it. Def put my mind at ease with the poses.. I'll try and keep that in mind about sticking my booty out lol did you have a drink before going?

But I'm up for it whenever! lol!!! so true.. yeah we def need to have suzy.. I'm thinking after the holiday's when Mike has another huge project to work on, he'll be so busy he'll hardly miss me! It'll be allot of fun!!! I'll keep you posted on that one.

$2000 is for changing your name.. at least here in montreal the woman keeps their name, and if they want to take their husbands name you have to pay to change it, like any other name.. at the cost for that is $2000 Because it's already legal you just have to translate it, maybe even get it notorized.. not sure tho.. Have to def look into it

I had the same fear, i would get my dress and it'd be the wrong one. But I went and picked it up, everything was fine, it was my dress and in my size. I know the same will go for you. You will def have to post a pic of you in it!!!

I am totally interested. I'll go looking around today for it. I'll let ya know later.. we would have to do it long distance lol. I might be heading up there for a visit. One day we could meet and do a work out together lol.

I just love the cake topper!! good pick!!!

I was going to go with the on the resort photographer, but I just didn't like the package he was offering for the amount of pictures I was going to get. So I decided to go with HCD for I think it was 150$ more I got so many more pictures. http://huellasdelcaribe.com/huellas.swf There is also 2 other ones I found other BDB are using and highly suggest... Melissa Green Photography Punta Cana Destination wedding photography (all lot of brides used them, and highly recommend them, i've seen pictures and they were amazing.. little more pricy) I am not sure how far advance they book up, you might want to contact someone soon.. not sure tho!

Meghan, Question that has nothing to do with Wedding.. where exactly do you live in AB?!?! I've been looking for a job here in Mtl and it's been hard, all lot has changed in the last 3 years since I've worked, and now all jobs require you to write french (I can not, I went to an english school lol) Do you guys have a hard time finding jobs? I have friends down there as well, they say it's amazing for jobs, and living(Medicine Hat).. may consider heading on over there after we get married.

shan, Wow you got an amazing deal for your photographer. What happen to me was we planning a in town wedding at first and put a deposit on the photographer $390 and put a deposit on the reception hall $800. So when we decided to do DW we cancelled and lost our deposit for the hall, but I felt like i had a contection with the photographer, so I asked her instead of losing the depo would I be able to get e-shoots for the $390... she said ok but I had to pay an extra $75 for all 90 files, this way I can print whenever which ever I want. And i get 1 8X5 pic. I figured it was nice not to lose the deposit, I am very happy with 90 shots. I don't know what I would have done with anymore then that. But I wont have a photographer at our AHR. But that's ok!! Now I have to pay another $185 for the BD pictures, but i am still not sure if pictures are included in this price.. probably not! Meghan, awwww really... I am disapointed to hear you don't like the bra's. I am also all about being comfortable. But i may still get it for BD shoots lol. maybe I'll go try one on first at the mall before buying one. I'm so happy B finally got his ring.. any pics? I have no idea what a 6mm or 8mm ring is!! HAHA the fi doesn't even know you had to book a room for the photographer, that's too funny and cute. What he doesn't know what hurt him!! Good thinking in getting the room now with the cheaper price instead of stressing over it for the next 4-5months. Another thing you can check off you to do list! I love Itravel, it's the only company I book with.. and they are pretty good at giving you a discount if you call them (they get commission)

All the ideas that I have, I run by him and ask him what he thinks, but its always,"Whatever you want babe" lol. The DW was his idea so he doesn't care what goes on while were there just as long as were there. LOL And yes, its VERYYYY lonely. And you don't so much get used to it, but you just learn to deal with it. We don't know exactly when he leaves again, in the summer he will be going on a ship I think. We will stay in Halifax for about 6 years but he'll be going on tours, so I will be here but he won't Your right, i am sure you don't get use to it, more as you just deal. I get that. Your must be a very strong woman tho to be alone for such long period of times, but yet be so in love. Ha Ha my mike does the same thing whenever I try to pass along my idea 'what ever you want babe' exactly like that! Actually we decided after dinner to have a beach party with a private bar tender, it'll cost $9 p/p but I figured I didn't have all alot of people coming anyway, wont cost to much... Were you considering something like this?! Quote: Originally Posted by [email protected] I am getting married on the 19 of April, 2010... it seems like there are many weddings the same week. How big is your party? How are your plans going? Welcome to the thread!!! You'll get tons of idea's from here. Have fun planning, and we def can't wait to meet you..

Has anyone been in October? I am slightly worried about the risk of hurricanes!! If you look for 'married or going to be married at Grand Palladiun Punta Cana' your soon realize we are all go to one of the palladiums,since they are all the same.. most of the wedding's take place on the Bavaro section. You'll find tons of ideas,and info on reception, and what you can do for no extra cost. Lost of reading to do tho lol have fun!!
