Thanks for sharing, good find!

Hi Peggers! I just got my dress last weekend. I thought I would go to the States since my mom had lots of friends who's daughters bought theirs down there. But I checked out 4 stores downtown and was set. I started at Helene's (where my mom bought hers 29 years ago!) and they gave me a lot of dress options, but a bit pushy. The woman at Helene's tried to get me to be her dress up doll and kept putting veils on me even though I told her I wasn't wearing one! I did fall in love with a dress there, but thought I should see more. Our last stop was LA Collection and I tried on a few more, but then tried on the dress I loved from Helene's and knew it was the one! And LAC was $115 cheaper. The girls were super nice there and no pushy at all. And they actually accepted that I didn't want a veil, and brought me flower options instead. Has anyone booked their DJ for the social yet?? I have no idea how to pick one or how early to book them!

I love this forum. It always makes me feel better about everything!!!

Thanks! I haven't been able to find any destination wedding checklists!

I never thought about fireworks! I should look into that!!

Congrats & Welcome! Happy Planning!

Congrats & Welcome!! Good luck planning!

Hopefully it works out!!!

LOL Even though you didn't do those things I'm sure you still had the most amazing wedding!!! In the end no one remembers place cards or whether you wore something borrowed! But you made me think, maybe I do need to remind a few people about a speech. Thanks for sharing!

I never though about rain! My FI and I have always thought a sunset wedding would be beautiful, but it will be a bit darker, the pics won't be the same. So much to think about! But thanks for the heads up!

I like "Together with their families" so everyone feels included but the emphasis is on the couple. Plus no one invited needs to know who paid for what!

Congrats! Hope you have a wonderful wedding!!

Welcome! You'll find tons of help here! Happy Planning!

Welcome & Happy Planning!!!

Congrats and Welcome! You will find tons of ideas and honest answers. Happy planning!

What a great idea! If I didn't love flowers so much I would totally try those! Good luck selling them!!

Sorry to hear about you bad experience Brenda&Jeff. Traveling with a group can be a hassel. Good thing you were able to rebook with someone else. Your best bet is to do the same thing for your in-laws and then you will be able to forget about it for sure. Good luck, hope the rest of your planning is smooth sailing!

Congrats and Welcome! Happy Planning!

I'm sorry you have to even deal with this stress! Its your wedding and since he isn't an important person in your life, who cares. You gave him a chance, which he's lucky he got. So don't stress over it anymore. Don't let him make you feel guilty, just carry on as planned! Good luck!

What a great idea!!!!! Its so original and means something to you so go for it!!!
