yay!! have fun!

very cute, perfect for oot bags

yes there are things worse than weight gain, but we can't spend our lives 'worrying' about situations that we aren't experiencing. On the other hand, while its perfectly normal for you to not feel as attracted to him, there is no reason why you should feel embarrassed by him. Think of how hurt you would be if he felt embarrassed of you. maybe it was a poor choice of words, but if you truly feel embarrassed about the way he'll look at the wedding, then there are insecurities in your life that have nothing to do with your FI. for better or worse, right?

like baking?

Cecilia from Dreams let me use the phone at Dreams to call Cecilia Dumas. When I spoke with Cecilia she sounded confused and said that she didn't understand how her assistant had booked her appt. to meet with me today if she had a wedding to do at 2pm. (Mind you I thought she was the one that set up the appt. over email. So I don't know if I was speaking to her or her assistant?) She had even told me specifically where to meet her at! So I was very happy Cecilia let me call her from Dreams. I asked her if she was available on Saturday (since my fiance and I had booked an excursion for Friday and Sunday) and she said she had a wedding on that day also. She asked me to call her on Sunday when I got back from my excursion and that she would meet with me at whatever time since she was free the whole day. We didn't get back from our excursion until late and frankly I didn't feel like having to go back to downtown cancun so we ended up not calling her. My fiance and I were talking and we will probably be going back to Cancun July of next year again and actually STAY at Dreams Cancun so we can see how everything flows? Anyway, we decided that we will try and meet with her again in person then. I was kind of upset that she had booked to meet with me on the same day as a wedding, but like I said she blamed it on her assistant and seemed apologetic. I'm going to try and not let this misunderstanding influence my decision on Cecilia Dumas, yet. that's so frustrating! It's good that you're going with the flow, lets keep our fingers crossed!

oh no I'm so so so sorry about this. You'll be in my prayers.

congrats on your engagement. We're getting married at Dreams Cancun and went on a site visit a couple of months ago...it's AMAZING!! on a side note, I'm from Colombia and there are so many beautiful places from jungle to beach to city landscapes. Good luck with the planning!!

Even though i have my regular make up on hand I really didn't want to have to apply a base , loose powder etc. So I decided to hit up the make up isle and get some new things to test out in the water. I had no make up accidents whatsoever throughout the shoot and it was great not to have to keep reapplying but still getting that "fresh no make up on" look and feel! This is what i got: - Maybelline Unstoppable Expresso Eyeliner - Loreal Summer Dusk eyeshadow for Brown Eyes - Revlon Color Stay Mineral Foundation with SPF 10 - Cover Girls Volume Exact Waterproof Mascara - Revlon Color Stay Overtime Perpetual Pink Lipcolor (this was awesome!) I cant wait to get the picture picture teaser Saturday! thanks for the great info!! can't wait to see pics

Try to be a bit stricter than I was, and DON'T invite people spontaneously, I ended up inviting some people I really didn't want around just because at some point I felt bad there weren't invited.. I agree...you have to be firm with the guest list or else it'll never stop!! I finally had to tell my mom that she had 4 freebies and that's it, and I've stuck to it!

love!!! taking it all down??

lindsey, I had the same questions as well and Cecilia told me several times that they no longer do "credits". She is aware that other WC, like Gaby, offered certain things for exchange, but they don't anymore. She also offered me the gazebo decor or the sound system for the ceremony b/c we are planning a private welcome dinner as well (she quoted $12/person for this). Cecilia speeks english much better than she writes it so I would HIGHLY recommend getting a calling card. That is the only way I've really gotten any response. After our conversations, I email her the things I've asked for or we've discussed and I always get a response from her right away that confirms what we've discussed (that way I have it in writing).

It was lovely. very elegant. I know Natalie’s is having a trunk show for Maggie Sottero Dresses in January from the 8th to the 10th. So I guess I will hold on till then to see what deals they will have. I just found out that Bride Beautiful off on Roswell Rd is having a Trunk Show this month 11th thru 13th. I hope will have enough money by then if they have dresses half off that would be great. Thanks for your advice! -Anastasia G. definately go to the trunk show. I would wait until the show is at New Natalies b/c I went to Bride Beautiful and that's where the dress was $300 more. I got mine at the trunk show and it was 750, but it regularly sells for 1100!! so it's definately worth the wait.

thats perfect!! I love it when it's just the two of you for a proposal...congrats!!

hi there fellow ATL bride! I love #2, the silhouette is amazing. I also bought a maggie dress. What store did you go to? I bought mine at New Natalie's Bridal and it was waayy less than at other atlanta stores (like $300 less)! I don't think you should go for a replica though, imo

love chips?

I have a question is Claudia still working there or did you only see Cecilia? Claudia is still there, I talked with her a week ago b/c Cecilia was at an appointment. yencie: sorry you have to come back...thats how I felt!! How was your meeting with Cecilia Dumas? Can't wait to hear about it

congrats on everything...it looked great!! We want to have our HM at SMB too. Do you have any pics? what room cat did you stay in? Did you upgrade to "preferred club"? sorry about all the questions

congrats!! everything look amazing, have fun!

thanks for the great thread diamondpooch!! let us know if the bleach works

I think that's your best bet. Give them each a few and then stick to it..no more extras after that or else it'll be a nightmare!!

like new years parties?

I need to get on it then, less than a year to go! emailing her now

I love it, great job!

that's awesome! I was glad I finally found them for a dollar, now it's time to look for coupons!!! thank you
