My MIL is worse than yours!! I really feel for you, but listen to this! My MIL found an old girlfriend from 10 years ago and invited her over to her house. She sat her down and let her know that FI and I were about to go away and get married and that if she wanted to "let him know how she feels" that she should let him know soon. This "woman" and I use the term loosely wrote a love letter professing her love and how she never got over him and that he should give her another chance!! Guess what the MIL from HELL did... she called my FI over and suggested that he "come alone." SHe hand delivered the note and told him to "find a quiet place and read this, it's important." WTF!?!? Who does that!? Not just because of that, but for a series of unfortunate events, we don't even speak anymore. It was just my great luck that her flight was cancelled due to an awful snow storm and she missed the wedding. I know that this seems cruel, but this woman has been a true thorn in my side. I imagine if she made it she too would have worn a white dress.. pure evil. We have been married for over 2 months and she has YET to call to say congrats or hey dog, welcome to the family. I nicely sent a card with our pic on it saying..."Introducing the ____, our wedding date, location" I then wrote on the bottom of the card.. "Thank you so much for welcoming me into the family" I put this in the mail last week . She lives in Atlanta and we live in NY. I am sure he got an earful when she received it . He knows NOT to come to me with her negative bull. I shared my tragic MIL story to show you that it could always be worse! I hope that FI will stick by your side and tell her the white dress in NOT an option for her. Good luck! Sending cyberhugs for you.

Everything looked great. Your dress was beautiful. OH HOW I MISS DREAMS!! Congrats on being a Mrs.!!!!!!!!

I have 12 of these bags available They are $3.00 each (less than what I paid) They are strong and come with a small coin purse that can be attached to the inside of the bag. Zip and velcro closure. Really cute bag! If you have single men traveling.. I also have 3 of these They are $1.00 each.

The VS shapewear usually has a thong shaper as well, I hear that it is so popular that it has been on backorder for a while. All of the VS shape wear is REALLY good. Diva.. I don't have a problem with it riding down if I take the time to pull it ALL the way up and make sure it is not rolled at the top, but flat on the skin. There is a strong rubber knotty band around the top, to help with that.

Teddie This one looks nice and sexy LOL that is so funny..that is one of the ones my MOH gave me! I LOVE it it is super cute on and it holds you great. It doesn't hold half as well as the VS thong shaper though, but it feels great on!

I ended up wearing a yummy tummy that my MOH gave me for the next day pics. It smoothed me out and felt soooo good against my skil. For the wedding, I wore the Victoria secret thong shaper. THose things will smooth out whatever you want them to! Belly button, curves, lungs! Surprisingly, they were not uncomfortable at all. I am usually a 6-8 in most things and I purchased the small and it did the trick! Highly recommended

COngrats on being a Mrs.!! Looks like everything was great. Your smile was a mile wide!! So happy for you.

I would like to do one with our names and wedding date and location like your first pic. Sooooooooo sorry, I thought I already answered about the hankies... I purchased them from a seller on Etsy.. Mollyandmom. They were great to work with.

Everything looks great..so crafty

I love the idea of the BM's standing at the sides of you AND the groom. It won't look odd at all.

Check with your WC because votives were included with the set up for the tables. That may be something that you won't have to bring

Your dress looks beautiful! Congrats on getting that important call

Another amazing Dreams soiree, congrats on the amazing wedding!!!!!! Dreams and the vendors you used are nothing short of amazing. Congrats on being a Mrs.!!!

Everything looks great, good job. Congrats on being a Mrs.!

Yummy Tummy makes the cutest lacey panties/corset all in ones. They are super comfortable, easy to remove AND they have snap closed crotch areas for those times you are well..in a hurry

I vote Dreams! I fell in love with the resort online and guess what...It looks JUST like it does in the photos. Good luck with your decision

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Jen, she is so easy to work with!!

Hello my beauties! Chris...quick give me her number I will crank call her, tell her how much she sucks and you take a pic when she starts crying and share it with us. LMAO. I have a membership with a credit monitoring company I get quarterly updates and the last one shared the bad news with me. I will definitely call them and see what they can do for me. I managed to get the last 567 credited to my credit card from my hotel..well not from the hotel, but my credit card gave it back to me. I LOVED the pics we all have some "ghetto" in us lol. Krista hope your planning is going well. Girls... I am soooooooo happy that you are thinking of visiting NYC. I say, lets do it Brooke and Sabrina...rub those bellies for us

I am a Cabo bride too.. congrats on choosing such a great location. Happy planning!!

I don't like them personally (I prefer the look of real books), but tons of people on here got some done, so I'm sure that you'll find your answer! Good luck! I love the look of real books also. I plan on ordering a few for the parents, the wedding party and for ourselves, from Mypublisher. I loved the way my BD book came out, but I wanted a flushmount as a table book for my home. I have NO intentions of ordering from a photographer, I can only imagine the markup!

WOW! so sorry that you had to go through that! You were scheduled to be married at the gazebo and it was gone ?!? Were you in contact with your wedding coordinator on a regular basis? was the WC onsite? I know this post is going to send some brides planning to be married there off in a frenzy!!!

Did you do one? If so, what company did you use? Can you post a pic of your album? I received my 3 picture discs from my photographer (1322 pics total) I want to start going through them to choose the photos that I want in my album. I realized I have no clue of what company to use or the typical costs involved. Any help here would be much appreciated ladies
