its never over the top if its what you want! Go for it. Good luck!

I agree with stamperamma, its your wedding, there isnt anyway to make everyone happy. Its something you may just have to turn the other way about and show them how great they are after you do them! good luck to you.

nope, thats not tacky at all. my fi and I didnt send out std's at all. Its just too much extra money I think. Our families have big mouths!! It got around and we sent out our invites early instead so that everyone could book early and lock in a great price. Good luck to you!!

love the back, beautiful dress!

beautiful!!

Thanks these are great!!

Congrats on find the one!! its crazy how it always seems to work out like that.. try on one you dont think you would ever like and walaa.. there it is.. the ONE! So exciting and its beautiful!!

games and drama.. not my cup of tea! send her an invite.. just with the wrong info!! haha.. or would ??!!

I really think if you explained everything to her, that she wouldnt mind or be as hurt. Are you having bridal showers and parties and such? just explain to her that it would be too much responsibility for her to do it all on her own, and it would be best if she was your honorary bridesmaid.. make it sound better, or let her keep her title and expalin to your friend that she is going to be in your life forever.. and it would mean a lot if she would take on the roles of being moh but be okay with not standing first in line??!! If this was my situation, I would keep her as my moh, my best friend wouldnt mind stepping in but not having the big title, she knows where she stands in my heart and in my life, she's an adult and gets it. I wish you luck and I hope it all works out for you!!

we are putting them in the oot bags, each person will get one so in each couples oot bag there will be two mugs. We are going with bubba kegs, we like them the best. good luck!!

congrats!! looks great!

not to take her idea from her, that she has done for you but could you fly to see her as a surprise?!.. make it a game, kinda like she did.. idk!! sorry im racking my brain right now for you though. I love how creative she was!

looking at your ticker saying 23 days until our wedding!! gets me stressed out for you!! lol. It makes me think of all the things i still need to do.. though I have intil next May, i will prob keep putting it off because I cant ever make up my mind!! Good luck girly!! Im excited for you to btw!!

eww, something new to think about and add to the list of things to do!! Thanks for the reminder and happy shopping.

what I love is even on my most crummy feeling days, my FI says I look hot! But how am i going to stick to a diet with that positive crap floatin around in my head! lol.

i like the teeth thing.. i never really thought about that but it is important!! I would love for mine to be whitened.. gosh why do we have to only pick one thing!! lol. I myself wouldnt want to change, my feet! haha I've got nothing!! Im not unhappy with the way I look but I cant say Im in love with any part of my body besides my eyes and my feet. (im NOT a foot person but i think i have cute feet.)

welcome and happy planning! you will find tones on here, search the diy forums.. there is so much stuff there!! Get creative and have fun!! Congrats

I agree, St. Thomas is very beautiful. Congrats and good luck. I know its the hardest part of the whole planning!!

welcome to the forum and happy planning!!! Congrats as well!!

im glad you ask these questions! I am getting married in May as well, and our wedding begins at 2:00pm. i wanted 4 but someone already has it?!! Anyway Im having issues with trying to figure out what to do between 3:30 and 9!! for our guests.. we arnt having a big reception.. we are doing a small one for just our parents and us at 7.. so our guests get to rome free till 9 I guess.. idk what to do!! I hope you get some great ideas.. so that i may work from them too!! Good luck girly.. this is one idea i have had and am tossing around.. depending on how big our guest list is, i was thinking of doing a sunset cruise for our guests to have a few drinks on and such.. i think sun set is around 6? dont quote me on that, im going to go look it up again. but its just an idea.. depending on budget of course!! (we have a small one)

Congrats and welcome!! have fun planning.. you will get so many ideas from all the wonderful brides/grooms to be!! Congrats again!!

amazing photos!! you can tell you guys really had a good time doing them!! Wow!! who did them for you, did you take someone with you?? finding a photog, is one of my biggest stresses right now. i want someone who can be just as creative as we are!!

so im sorry to hear about all the issues at hand, and im not sure what state you are in or if you have all the facts.. but i do know that in mo.. if there hasnt been court at all and there isnt a set custody arangement by the court yet, she doesnt have to have him sign anything to leave the country. I do understand that she needs his john handcock for the passport in order to obtain one. This mater can be taken care of very easly by a judge.. before the devorce is even processed, and it shouldnt cost much to have a lawyer wright it up in order for her to get his sig. I know what year dealing with.. we have had this same issue in the past and it isnt fun. But on that note.. she married this man and this man is the father of her child, putting all childish reason behind her would prob. be in the best intrest of their child. The child shouldnt feel the stress there is between them two. She married him and made a family with him.. leaveing the daughter behind with her father shouldnt be such a big deal.. if they are acting like grown ups!! (sorry not trying to step on toes.. i just get frustrated when parents going through a divorce act so childish for their own shelfish reasons. My ex and I get along great. I guess we are one of the lucky ones.) Good luck i wish you a happy wedding and I hope that all your family whom you want there to be able to attend. Congrats!!

eww, I so want a tummy tuck after having my daughter im just not the same anymore.. not that i want to be the "same" per say. I just wish that this little pocket of skin would just go away!! I was thinking of a "mommy makeover" which includes boob job and tummy tuck all at the same time.. that counts right?!! love this post by the way.. but does anyone have anything they wouldnt want to change??!!

thanks for sharing! wonderful pictures and the waterfall was amazing!! where were the waterfall photos taken?!! Cant wait to see more!!
