I Like Ginalyn's idea!!!! I am doing simular, we're not having a wedding party. FI and I are walking down the aisle together and will stop before entering the Gazebo to pick up our children. We have one each, my son and his daughter, my son is one witiness because he is old enough, FI's daugther isn't. FI's mother will bring the ring to us and stand with the kids when it's time for the rings, she is FI's witness. I have several gfriends and FI's neice assigned duties to include them. We're doing the "whiteboard guestbook" (thread on BDW) and one gfriend will take pics and make sure all guests are included. Another gfriend is doing a reading FI's neice will drop rose petals when the music begins (something she begged me to do because she thinks its romantic, i could care less) My BIL to be will be in charge of the ipod and music. No one is being noted on the program it is so informal and we figured everyone know each other. Sue 2cents over morning coffee... Good luck in your planning, don't sweat the small details girl.

Tons of emotions!!!!

She is teasing us lol... We're all coming to your new house for turkey dinner...

Oh I have a boston and I'd love to have another... I have an Aussie sheppard too... I have my hands full with these two.... Bostons are the greatest little creatures.... I love mine... The Babe

Yeah I agree very tacky... We do not want gifts period and have said that on our invites. We both have been married before and have had homes that we just recently combined. We just cleaned out all of the seconds we had of everything.

Hi Ladies as promised my DIY flowers from the weekend... I hope this works!!! Attachment 4206 Attachment 4207 Picture 047.zip Picture 028.zip

I would let the flower girl choose...

I agree.... but the brakes on and tell everyone "save your 2 cents your going to need those and a few more to pay for your trip "If you choose to come", this is my wedding and it is going to my dream not yours. You'll be ruffling a few feathers throughout this planning process... get use to it honey.... We'll be here to listen!!!!! I had to un-invite a friend because she was negitive, I hear your fustration, Just stand your ground

i love your dress and your face says it all "this is the one'

We're not doing gifts either... We just wouldn't be able to afford to give gifts after paying for our wedding... We have two kids that we're bringing with us and we're staying for two weeks...... I don't think my FI knows that this is something that is done and I won't be mentioning it.

Oh rings are totally a big deal..... I am heading out for batteries shortly... take care

My MOH (love her but....) has had a comment on EVERYTHING in regards to the work the the TA and I have done. She doesn't believe me...fine with me if you want to waste your time price searching! Oh Chickie, We have special people in our lives and it's times like this you realize the meaning of the word "SPECIAL"....

Only my two cents!!!! I am not sure if you send xmas cards, I would include a small annoucement with a picture of yourselves with a note that invites to your upcoming AHR to follow....

I am on board with the other chickies here... they are cute and I really like the idea and I think I will be doing the same... I will do two colours of paper Aqua blue back ground and white paper with the writing.

I did ebay and lucked out with them matching thefabric of my dress beautifully

I have been to the tulum side and visited the Akumal side for dinner and drinks a couple times. I was booked to go to the Akumal for my wedding it got changed due pricing... Akumal has the best beach of the three. You can not go wrong with either of the Gran bahia's.....thier truely amazing resorts.. I have been to one in Punta cana and same outstanding.... Look at tripadvisor for info and feedback... happy planning

I gag when I see him on tv or anywhere.... He is such an ass.... To say on Televison I hate my wife, the mother of your children..... Those kids won't issues!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy Crap girl we're too much alike!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our spare room has become my wedding shrine too. I just sit in there and poke at things, now if someone else goes in like my stepdaughter looking for her winter coat, I am right behind her asking her what she is doing. Yeah no sleepover guest until after the wedding.... Kidding they can sleep on the floor somewhere lol

Fingers and toes crossed for you....
