The tag on the veil was $199 and she got that for $50. *BONUS* it's tax free and it's a write off because it is considered a donation! I cried while trying my dress on a survivor came in and thanked everyone and said she wouldn't be here if it wasn't for people like us buying these dresses and the volunteers it made everyone feel really good. I'd never heard of this, what a great cause! you look very pretty

awww congrats kerrij!!!! that's awesome :)

We also used the resort photog, and our photos and video came with the package. The video guy deliverd our video to us the next morning, and the photog delieverd our photos a few days later to our honey moon resort. I forget how maby photos we got, but it was a pretty big album, and he also gave us like 8 big photos. Hope that helps how did you get the 8 big pics? did you ask for this specifically?

Sorry I haven't been on in a while...mom's bday, FIs bday, etc!! I asked Juan about it at first and he gave me pricing info which I talked to Cecilia about. She's the one booking the extra time Quote: Originally Posted by peterpanpixiedust wow! you might have just gotten your idea stolen... by me! that is awesome!

I don't want bubbles... too many people do it and I want to have some uniqueness....even if I "borrow" most of my ideas they let you throw stuff as long as its eco friendly. I'm pretty sure they don't allow the flying lanters b/c of fire hazards. We're doing sparklers

so sorry about your experience. i completelly agree with you on the site visit!! based on pics and the internet, i was set on gran caribe real but once we got down there, i was so dissappointed in the service and lack of knowledge by the WC. and so glad that i visited dreams cancun b/c it ended up being the best resort for us...so ladies if you can swing it, do a site visit!!!

they look great!!! be proud

so english beige it is ...my FI is from england so of course he loves that as well, lol. you know ladies i was thinking how funny it is that when you see the wedding dress thread, we all have a variety of styles and looks but from the way this thread is going, our FIs are all gonna look the same!!! sorry boys

Maybe wear the flowers for the ceremony & put the veil on for photos?? I also have a question. We are using the resort photog for our pictures of the wedding day and it is included in the package we are getting. I'm wondering if it is just his & the videographers time that is included in the package or do you get pictures & the video as well....or is it extra to purchase the pics & vid?? Thanks!! it depends on your package...we are using the ultimate package and it includes two hours of photog time, a 30 min edited video, and 50 pics. you can also purchase the rest of your pics on a cd. we are adding one or two hours of photog time at $250/hour...each hour includes an extra 50 pics. mrs. timpone...i'm wearing a veil....when else can you do it?? :)

i love the idea of going to a race, you look like you all had a great time!!

i wouldn't worry babe...YOURE GETTING MARRIED,YAY!!!! the week before we went last year, the forecast called for rain EVERY DAY!! it rained a couple of days for like 10 to 20 mins and the rest of the time, nothing but sun. just relax and enjoy becoming a MRS!! :)

at least look into a custom band. maybe you could do a thin band on either side that would fit right up against the curves? on the other hand, its a gorgeous ring and honestly could stand alone, ie don't get a band at all and use it as both

i would do option 1.....BUT only for your bouquet. i would DIY the rest b/c no one EVER pays attention to anyone else's flowers and you'd save some money. YOUR flowers will be in a bunch of pics and photogs love using the bride's bouquet

my FI is soooo hard to shop for as well. I have resorted to doing special gifts for his bday and "normal" gifts for the other occasions, lol. last year i got him a BMW racing experience. it was for the track in vegas so after his bday we saved some money and made a great trip out of it...went to the grand canyon and hoover dam this year i got him a german bible printed in 1756 that we saw at an antique store. it was funny b/c when i went to get it the seller said there was an english man interested in it....my FI of course...so i had to bat my lashes to get him to lower the price and sell it to me instead. a few days ago, my FI came home upset b/c the bible was sold to "some chick". ha ha...his bday is on weds...can't wait to see the look on his face!! so i guess just think of "normal" things your FI likes (cars, antiques, etc) and give them a creative twist! good luck

If so what color of suit did you get and how did it look, or what color would you recommend? I want the guys to wear ivory/cream shirts too so I don't want the color of the suits to be too "peachy". Also, the tie will be pink, so I want a very "brown" hue to the tan color in the suit, instead of the peachy color. Does that make sense? Also, did anyone order a straight leg instead of the Classic Comfort fit? How did this look? i have the swatches and i think the english beige is what youre looking for. its has a brown undertone instead of "peach" as you say. it think it would work well with an ivory dress too. my dress is white and FI and GM are wearing cream shirts. FI is wearing the jacket and GM are doing just the pants.

i love your pics!!! congrats

amygirl and ladytrunk we are shoe twins....or triplets, lol!!! LOVE them!

Quote: Originally Posted by NyBeachBride i thought of that too but i want the frame there because it does look nice and guests will def think its something diff and prob something theyve never seen so i will be taking it as a carry on so it doesnt break or shift, both ways...ill take a duffel back with me as a carry on...also fyi, u can change the picture, that glass for the pic isnt glues purpusly so that u can clean it and change the pic i thought you glued the second and third piece? wouldnt you put the pic on the second piece of glass?

yay!!! thank you ladies

question ladies: for all of you who had the 30 min video included with the package....does it have actual parts of the ceremony on it? i mean do you hear the vows and such? all of the clips i've seen are with music and they show the bride getting ready and taking pics with guests afterwards. they look awesome, i just want it to cut the music during the vows, ring ceremony, and when they pronounce us b/c we want to show it to the people who cant be there. is this something they can do?

you look beautiful amygirl!!

so ladies i was thinking about just doing the ceremony with regular vases and then redoing it here with the frame so that i can put a wedding pic in the frame (once you glue the glass, you cant change the pic) plus from what i've read on another thread, the sand shifts and some brides end up redoing anyway. i would also hate for the frame to break in travel (thats just my luck). what do you think??

very nice. it flows well
