Congrats, so exciting!!!

*** Spoiler Alert **** Sooo, I read on PerezHilton today that Ashlee Simpson and "Auggi" are gone from the show after episode 12 and the murder investigation will be over...if it makes it that many episodes. Also heard that Jane and Amanda may have the neverending "guest appearance", so that may help ratings. I'm disappointed about Ashlee leaving. Violet is carrrazzzay, loves it!

The humorous ones are too funny..."nonrefundable"...lol! I'm going to have "Serendipity" engraved. It's been a cute inside thing with us since the beginning, and really describes our lives before and after we met.

Since we're cruising, we're only docked from 7-4 so unfortunately sunset was not an option...although would have been our first choice for sure. We're scheduled for 10am ceremony, this way we can tour the island after. My wc recommended earlier morning because it's cooler and yes the water is bluest. But we will be doing sunset pics the night before at another port. Are you doing trash the dress? That may be a way to have the best of both worlds!

I would check with your cruiseline, but I know Carnival will let you bring some, just not large quantities. I'm sure if you explain that it's not all for you, but for the individual bags, they may be more lenient if they give you problems.

Yay, finally have a date twin...Crystal&David! My FI is also a David too...8 ) So does everyone have their dress yet?

Loves it!!

It's beautiful! Congrats and happy wedding next week! And I say wear them for a bit and switch back when your feet start to hurt!

Shoot, sorry ladies...I was rearranging my album and deleted it....8 O 2009_0912BenVisit0008-2.jpg picture by fatcrackerz - Photobucket Sept-09_037.jpg picture by fatcrackerz - Photobucket

Glad to hear all worked out and you've found another w/c that you feel comfortable with!

"Shake" I really hope were able to get in touch with your w/c! Let us know...

I didn't think I'd like Ashlee at all, but I'm starting to like Violet's character a little more, she's starting to be more like Sydney! Yes Taylor had a baby by Michael, and she tried to say it was Kyle's. When they found out it was Michael's, and Kyle wanted nothing to do with her, she took the baby and left the show...

Very cute, and great deal!

Too cute! Congrats!

Try Dollarama or Buck or Two, or the Dollar Bin if you have one! I saw some there last time, but it was with the summer stuff.

Thanks, I didn't realize Michael's actually made them too. I'll check them out! I've found a few other threads that will help with DIY, so I'll try to fix them. If not, yes, i have plenty of time...lol!

I'm sure some of you may have seen this but thought I'd share this one with you ladies...I laugh everytime I see it! YouTube - Wedding Dance First As A Couple FUNNY Baby Got Back

It's so hard to hear that us destination brides go through this. Sending giant Hugz! We didnt' want to invite anyone, but after they all told us they wanted to come we invited everyone. After all the research, invites and plenty of time....they are telling me 8 months in advance that they can't come. We only have 2 people booked, and it's not family! And my sister (MOH) of all people actually had the nerve to say "It's a waste of money"! She has been officialy Replaced! My FI has a new saying and it goes like this.....PEOPLE SUCK! At the end of the day it's you guys that will make the day perfect...and i'm sure it will be a beautiful and just as you imagined it! Keep your chin up!

I really wanted the Maggie "Roni" and think it's pretty close! Quick question, does anyone know who designs the "Diamond Collection"?!

They're both beautiful! Congrats!

Both dresses look gorgeous on you! But I really like the Maggie on you too!

It's beautiful! Congrats!

I really like the cascading orchids from wedideas.com but not sure where I'll get them!

Those are beautiful! I love #3 and #1!

So between the Bittersweet debaucle and Hibiscus getting great reviews, I wanted to find out where everyone got their flowers...especially my fellow Canadian brides. Did you use real touch? How much did you spend? Did you buy them online or go in for a consultation locally? There seem to be sooo many great places, it's hard to decide. I wanted to share my afloral story...arghhh! 10" Cymbidium Orchid Bouquet | Silk Bridal Bouquet | Silk Wedding Flowers So this is the bouquet I ordered...and should have know what I was getting for 8.99! But I was excited and it was exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately I didn't research enough, and hadn't joined this site yet, so I didn't know about real touch and the different qualities. This is what I received....

And did I mention it kinda smells like a warehouse... I didn't want to spend too much (up to $100), but when I saw these it was exactly what I wanted, so took a chance. I wanted them to have longer stems and definitely more full. Was trying to find ways to fix it, but I'm sooo not Martha Stewart. Any ideas, other than just ordering another one? Thanks ladies!
