Tam

sorry, just realized you already posted all the info!

Your dress looks great! Where did you get it from and how long did it take to get? I need a TTD dress still and don't want to spend a lot of $ on it.

Ok, gotta go let my dog out and go to bed... good night ladies

Oh yeah, Gerry was married before, but his wife died, so we will have to get her death cerificate legalized/notarized or whatever it is...

We decided to have a civil one there, but I do still waver on it... Gerry doesn't care, it's just my guilty conscience.. We are planning on having the judge come to sign after, but I still keep thinking "then what's the point? The ceremony is still not legal until the papers are signed.. AHHHHH! Now I'm back to having a symbolic... F*@#. This is seriously driving me crazy...right up there with my flowers!

Hey Toya, here's my flower update: she got back to me with the fedex tracking #, but when i checked online to track, it said # not found... WTF! It had better be some kind of mistake/typo.. so sick of this!

Has anyone started the legalization process yet for your wedding?? I need to and am feeling overwhelmed about where to start...

PS, we are not switching anymore... we are officially BOOKED as of friday!

We are getting married at Dreams Punta Cana, PC, Dominican Republic. Originally we chose Mexico, but too many people getting killed and then H1N1 flu. So, we switched it to Varadero, Cuba but too many of our American friends/family wanted to go, so we switched it to DR. We chose our hotel because our neighbours from our cottage and my best friend had both been there and raved about it. Off topic for one second though, has anyone started to get organized with the legalization process for their wedding? The 3 month mark is here and I'm getting overwhelmed again...

I say gold or nude... silver wouldn't be bad either, but the other two are more neutral.

Do you know if the 3 hour reception also includes the cocktail hour we paid for a Dreams Ultimate Wedding package and a cocktail hour is included. I went to Michaels to look for centrepiece ideas and I got really overwhelmed. Are you getting your hair done in the spa there? I have 5 girls plus myself and Sharron told me an hour that seams really unrealistic and there are 2 other weddings that day, I am kinda freaking out a bit, last thing I want is to be rushed. I have no ideas about the cocktail hour, we are doing the free package with add ons, just send your WC an email. I will probably get my hair done there... if not, it's going to be something easy for me/someone else to do. One of my guests is a makeup artist so she will be doing my makeup. That's exactly how I feel about the legalization stuff, but i've already had similar commints to your Dad's. I need to go to the consulate and get everything sorted out... just have to find time.

if anyone wants, Deyanira sent me a bunch of pics of some centrepieces... not my taste, but if you liked the table clothes they offer, than you'll like these.. so expensive too... Another FYI, I was in Kitchen Stuff Plus today and they had a lot of different centrepiece ideas... cheap too.. not sure if they have a website, will look into that in a minute.

Sorry i don't know why I wouldn't have gotten yours, but was waiting to hear if you want a refund or the flowers. I was going to send them tomorrow since it will have been a week and no word from you. So please let me know so i can have this issue resolved. I had said for you to send them. I still want them. I am not trying to be crusty, I am just anxious to get on with the rest of my planning... (I only have 3 months left). I sent you an email this morning.

I'm sure they have different heights. They did look really pretty. I really need to start bookmarking when I find something I like. When are you moving?

I have been trying to find a relatively inexpesive florist for real touch flowers... was even thinking of going to Michael's but every time I've been there the flowers always look so fake.. maybe just because I know they are??

yeah it could have been...i haven't gone back and looked to see where I got it from. Did you see what I was talking about?

i love those!

That's good to know.. phoning them as I am about to order in the next couple of days. How long does it take to get them?

Hey, Just an FYI, I was looking last night on a website (got the name from here) and they had those twigs/sticks that had the LED lights, run off batteries and were placed as centerpieces in vases. They also had "strings" of them too that (on a different table) were strewn around... both looked really good, but the centrepiece ones were a little too tall for my liking. Hard to see each other ... but they were fairly inexpensive. Are you guys bringing your own toole down too? this pic is what I need to do to shut up on here tonight.... so many thoughts racing through my head right now. Maybe I need this to relax...going to get some wine now.
