#2 #2 #2!!!!!

Sent!! I am definitely doing this, so much nicer than the arch..

Hey ladies!! Got the email from Deyanira about the huppah for the beach, but I can't figure out how to post them here... so if you want them,send me your email in a PM or post it here

that seriously sounds like something that would happen to me and FI... haha hilarious and cute story

Ashley!! Did you have your monogram made or is it a DIY??!?!

There is a place on ebay to get monogrammed shot glasses - this is another idea for favors for our guests we are batting around!

I like the towel idea!! I am definitely goingnto get those hangover kits, thanks bluementhale! I'm making up "small" bags of useful stuff, but we were thinking of buying the bubba kegs and using that as the bag INSTEAD of the bag... stick all the small stuff inside

I am having trouble seeing the pics too, I only see the one with the boarding pass in the envelope opened up a little! Maybe its my computer, perhaps I will be able to see them when I get home! They look great though!!

The problem is, they will either arrive a week before us and have to leave the morning after the wedding, or they would arrive a day late. I'm just tired of complaints for nothing... its tough when so much work goes in, only to have someone else bash it down!

gotta know where you've been to know where you are going (in response to the "before" pictures) oooh, all philosophical!

Honestly, the basic chuppah with the white (organza?) would work JUST fine for me!! Not picky... haha

I asked Deyanira for a picture of one from Dreams, but haven't heard back yet! We are finally confirmed witht he judge for 6:00 p.m.! Phew I can finally relax... haha Do either of you know if we can decorate it how we would like, or if it is decorated a certain way by the WC?

Oh I am beach all the way!! Thats the whole reason we are doing a DW, since we could theoretically do a gazebo wedding at home. Just us though!! We are so laid-lack and casual, it really fits our personalities! The chuppah would be awesome, I hope it works out

Ashley, refresh my memory: Are you a gazebo or beach bride? I'm recruiting some of my family members to help take stuff, so its that much less we will have to take ourselves!

graphic designer fi comes in handy... hehe They are gorgeous!!

Hey! I love your site, your template is the same as ours!! We have the about us and propsal sections, which seem to be a big hit!! You can take a look if you'd like Welcome/ Bienvenue! - The Knot: Wedding Web Page Builder

Those are super hot! I just might have to get the SJP knock-offs, they are too hot!!

All of my bridesmaids dresses are ordered, but those are very nice

Thanks for the head up - always appreciated!

I'm getting excited now!!

Thanks Toya! I'm bringing my own sashes, and should the chuppah be available, I will probably bring some of my own stuff for that too (unless its what we're looking for!)

perhaps since I'm not a full member yet... oh well, whatever it will come when it comes

Ok let me start by saying I love my FI's family 99% of the time... but there are things that they do that drive me BONKERS! My family is from Eastern Canada, and my FI's Dad and family live in Montreal. When we began researching DW locations, we found a travel agent who could give us a fantastic deal on a package out of Toronto, Ontario. Since there are no direct flights from Halifax to Punta Cana in late June, we decided that it was the best option. For those that don't know Canada well, Toronto is THE main hub for domestic and international flights... but Montreal is a close second. So we decided to take the package from Toronto, since it was actually almost $400 less than a package leaving from Montreal. Noone in my family is complaining that it is leaving from Toronto (since it is really the only option), but my FI's family and ESPECIALLY his Dad complain that it is such a huge hassle to have to drive ALL THE WAY TO TORONTO. We are talking about a 6 hour drive here; my family (should they choose to drive to Toronto) will be looking at 18 hours. But noone seems to care, since the package is so cheap. FFIL keeps saying he hates the idea of Toronto, why didn't we do the package from Montreal, blah blah blah even after it is explained to him ad nauseam that it is MUCH cheaper. He has even gone so far as to say that even though he has put down his deposit on the trip, that he will change the name to some of his other family members (his brothers and sisters) and fly out of the nearest US hub, which is only 1 hour from his home. This seems to be pretty selfish and insulting to me, and its frustrating... I just want to shake him and say "Wake up!!! My family is driving 18 hours or taking a flight to Toronto without a complaint!!! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM" kind of thing! Obviously I won't, because it would be a huge disrespect, but its insinuating that I am only thinking of my family. My family is telling me not to worry about him (since he is kind of known for putting a negative spin on EVERYTHING), but its hard. I just had to get this off of my chest, FI is tired of hearing about it from all sides, and I know it hurts his feelings (the way his Dad is acting). <3 You ladies are the best

my future FIL is a real downer, he is about everything... I'm so glad that we all have BDW to share our excitement!! For the most part, all of my family is excited, except when we talk about money... haha
