thank you so much lovely ladies!!!

we got my ering and band at jarods.. my ering diamond is a cushion cut and the diamonds in the ering band and wedding band are round. i don't think that the round diamonds will contrast badly with your princess cut ering. 799 is a STEAL for platinum eternity band BUT you need to have the right size no matter what!! i would go in there and try it on with the ering, take your time and be honest with yourself....is it a little loose or really TOO BIG?? yes its a great deal but this is your wedding band we're talking about so you want to make sure its perfect!! let us know how it goes

It sucks that we cant bring in an outside vendor becase I found a DJ in Cancun who does 4 hours for $500 Let me know what you guys suggest!! i really think it depends on how many guests you're having and what type of crowd they are. we are having 30 to 40 guest and they all love to party (my family is colombian so we love to dance)...therefore we definately budgeted for the DJ. there are several brides who used the sound system and they said it turned out great. if you do that just make sure you take the time to organize the playlists so that you don't lose the party vibe

Everyone else will figure it out and if they don't, I'm trying not to think about it yet, we have time. But my current big stresser is that my FI thinks we don't need to do any more planning. I'm trying to get every thing pretty basically planned out; ie: what we're going to do about flowers, the ceremony (we're thinking about having a few of our closest friends do reading to get them involved), figure out the OOT bags and just break out where we're spending the money and he won't help me. He refuses to help me and it's making me crazy. I don't want to plan this alone, I want his input, his opinion and it makes me so sad that he doesn't want to be a part of it. He just keeps saying "it's your day do what you want"...well that's all well and good, but it's OUR day. I'm frustrated, sorry. i feel you on this, FI has input here and there, but mostly says its my day and that he wants me to be happy. i'm starting to realize that it's not that they don't care...some men are just different. all that matters to him is that you are going to be his wife!! he doesn't care about colors or flowers, etc. Quote: Originally Posted by Amymarie I am not so stressed about the destination wedding, i am stressed about the two AHR's I am planning (my fiance and i are from opposite sides of Canada). It doesn't help that i have been living in Germany for the last six months and will not be going home until April 1st. If i hadn't found this website i would be ridiculously stressed. Stressed but, Loving all the help from the Brides on this site! Amy holy crap!! you are planning 2 AHRs!!! I couldn't imagine...i wanted a DW so i wouldn't be stressed, youre awesome..good luck!!

The real versions look 100 X better I thought these were great considering he was the resort Photographer http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...c-heavy-45063/ i always loved your pics! and it's so nice to see great pics and a great experience with the resort photog! did you say anything to him about the fish eye lense (one way or the other)? your fish eye pics look awesome, i just don't want too many..

I ordered the silver one with my married name last week and can't wait to get it!! i think its so unique. my dress is chiffon with some beading so its a little bit heavy, but i'm only using it for the pics...what fabric is your dress?

cant wait to see the pics!!

i saw your posts on the 100 push ups and other threads and you've really motivated me!! i'm starting soon as i have just a little over 6 months left too so i'll post my progress on here as well. we can definately do monthly check-ins as a countdown!! and maybe celebrate with a burger, lol

welcome!! you'll find tons of info here. first thing you should do is read the threads about searching, Q&A, and how to navigate the forum...these are really helpful and you'll find that a lot of your questions have already been asked and answered. it might seem overwhelming at first, but once you get the hang of it, you'll find this is a great resource. good luck!!

nice job!! i don't think i'd have the patience to do that!!

omg...i hadn't even thought about seat belts!! we've been three times and i can honestly say no one has EVER worn their seat belt in the trasfer van. thanks for the reminder...so glad you were all ok!!!

oh no hon!!! at least you know the ones with 3 or less are fine. checking postage is just something that NO ONE really thinks about, esp with everything else going on with wedding planning...don't beat yourself up

wow two months left!!! congrats

that's so cool!!

congrats and welcome!!
