I am also a NYC bride and there is soooo many places here in the city where you can find great stuff for your wedding. You just have to look in the right places. I also chose a destination wedding to cut back on costs. Good luck choosing your destination! That is half the battle! I LOVED Cabo, Mexico!

I may get into the wedding business after all this planning. lol. I need to take a trip to the wholesale district to see what I can find. I will let know know if I'm interested in purchasing any of your stuff. I still need to decide on the hairdo. Yes honey! deciding on the hairdo is half the battle good luck. Your day will be here before you know it. It seems like time is flying by!

Awww so sorry that you were ripped of by that FAKE company. Good for you for posting your experience. Maybe you can help another bride avoid becoming a victim of that scam. your wedding is fast approaching, you must be excited

I had guests that were too drunk, but they managed to remember enough to tell me that they enjoyed the extra cigar they pocketed when they got back to their room lol. I think it is a great idea and adds a bit of class to the soiree haha

I was extremely happy with him! The cigars were NICE and smooth. It was my first time smoking a cigar and I didn't gag, spit or choke once lol. I don't think he spoke one word to us lol(he had an interpreter/assistant with him who told us his history and how he had been rolling cigars for close to 50 years...etc.) and he barely smiled, but he was GREAT at what he does and I would definitely recommend him in a heartbeat. I took a pic with him it in my pro slideshow. I say go for it, my guests were very impressed when he started setting up to roll the cigars.

If you use the search function..there are a few threads on here with this information already. Jennifer from Beautiful and Affordable Photography did mine and I did a thread already recommending her.

YAY your day is almost here! Congrats, everything looks great!! You will be a beautiful bride. Enjoy your big day.

Well I finally had the time to sit on the phone for over an hour to speak with the company that I booked our travel through. I wanted a refund for the 2 nights hotel stay because we didn't get to sleep in Cabo those two nights. Dreams had the nerve to try to charge me a 2 night penalty as a "no show" I almost cursed on the phone..I mean its not like I said "hmm I think I will rather be stuck in NY and cry my eyes out rather than fly to Cabo to get married" such d*$& heads!! Before the convo was over I was receiving a check for $547 for one night, but they kept one night as a penalty. I am still not satisfied though! I will wait until the check comes in the mail, then dispute it with my credit card company. I don't feel that I should be charged a penalty when the "no show" was definitely out of my control! I incurred more expenses (and gray hair): by having to rent a car one way and drive almost 300 miles just to get a flight 2 days later. Am I wrong for demanding both nights?

Hello, Many brides have been asking questions about the cigar roller that I had at my wedding and the price I paid. There was a MISAKE and miscommunication as a result, the amount I was charged was less than the average rate for rollers in the area. PLEASE stop harassing the coordinators at the resort quoting the price that I was given. That price will more than likely NOT be what you will pay. There is nothing that the coordinators can do, so again, it is not their fault if the price I received will not be extended to you. This concludes my PSA on behalf of the wonderful ladies at Dreams. Thank you!! Happy planning

YAY!!!! BROOKIE! I am so happy for you and Justin...Holy shit...I am an auntie!! just did a silly dance and just ended with a moonwalk!! I am so happy for you. YAY!!!! Congrats sweety. I love shopping and who can resist baby clothes..can't wait to see you for a big hug and a congrats belly rub!

sorry ladies I couldn't remember everything unless, I posted a few times.. I forgot to add.. To the rest of you ladies who are trying to get preggo, please relax and don't stress yourselves too much. Stress + baby making= not a good combination. As hard as it is to do, try to relax and take it easy so you can enjoy the process of trying . Good vibes to you!

Brookie!!!! I am sending warm preggo vibes to you. Kuddos to you for being able to wait! Eating combos like oranges and ice cream you MUST be preggers yikes! I am so happy that you AHR is almost here I know you are super excited. Auntie Timberly is ready to bounce a baby on her knee and I don't think it will be mine anytime soon. Christina -YAY Teasers!! I LOVE them, you looked absolutely beautiful! I see a pretty blue sky behind you two! All that worry for nothing Susie and Michelle.... Miss you ladies! Wait.. should I put out an APB for Shells? Ladies.... so happy to hear that you are all doing well.

Did you stop taking your BC before the wedding or after? If you really are pregnant Justin has earned his nickname!! I can't believe the first bride is pregnant!!! I haven't hardly seen any pics from my reception, but I did see this one of my cake. I was so preoccupied that night I barely got to check it out. When I saw the pic I just thought it was so gorgeous if I do say so myself!! Woowza now that is a cake! That cake makes my cake look like your cake hiccuped my tiny cake out...lol

Quote: Originally Posted by breens So ladies, yes, the signs are just like PMS symptoms-sore breast (knots actually), fatigue, and lots of cramping. We are preggers!!!! My last menstrual period (LMP) was Feb 22, the day we left Mexico, saw the gyn for my annual on March 1, and ovulated on the 7/8th...First try did the trick. Now, let me tell you ladies, I have endometriosis (TMI) and the doctors have been telling me for years now that it is going to take a long time and may even be impossible for me...well, I guess they can be wrong sometimes! The crazy thing is, hubby and I thought it was going to take awhile and so we went on our whimsical way and were planning on enjoying the process of trying for awhile before trying other options..and it happened just like that! To be honest, I was happy and sad at the same time (hormones) but, I was sad we didn't get more of a honeymoon phase...we technically didn't even get a "real" honeymoon as we had guests up to the last day at the resort and so much running around that we didn't spend much time alone, relaxing after the wedding...but it is okay, we are head over heels!!!! We just told my mom last night, but we are only telling parents and my sister. We are not planning on telling friends for another month. I am on week 7, and actually feel really great except for the tiredness and cramping still. I have my first dr appt and sonogram on April 12... Okay, sorry to keep blabbing, but we are just so excited. Hubby thought it was funny that I wanted to share with you all...he also is like "you are still on that forum?" but I did tell him the background of everyone trying to get preggo and he laughed that we had already done it! Not that I am a doctor, but those of you starting to stress already, it isn't good, I am 32 with a female medical history and doctors telling me how almost impossible it may be..and first try. Also, I haven't taken any BC for 18 months, those of you who have just recently went off, that can delay it a bit as well... And yes, please keep posted in Facebook, I have only told you ladies, so nobody knows yet, so let's keep this little secret hush! Thanks Ladies, you are the best!!! YAY Sabrina!!! COngrats!! I am super happy for you! That is wonderful news.. Susie looks like Sabrina will get those booties!! ALso Sabrina, you need to start the Feb. brides preggo thread. I still have 2 pages of catching up to do, usually I wait to post after I caught up, but with that great news, I had to break tradition..ok, I am off to read the 2 other pages.. congrats again Sabrina! You are gonna be so cute preggo

They look fake and that's not what I was going for. I've seen other hair flowers online but prefer not to buy something else like this online again. So now I'm back to square one and I'm thinking of getting a jeweled headband, or some type of hair jewelry. I'm not really a tiara person. Any place in NYC would you suggest for reasonably priced wedding hair accessories? I I had the same problem. I ended up going to my favorite destination for wedding stuff..the wholesale district lol. There are several stores stores on 6th ave. can't remember the exact store, but there are a few between 28th and 32nd. I purchased the pearl and crystal hair jewels (attached to pins) that were placed in the back of my head for $3.50 each! I loved them in my hair and they looked like these $65 dollar pins I saw online! They are in my "items for sale" post I have a few for sale I am selling them for exactly what I paid for them. A few have not been worn. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Yes that was a no brainer..straight men can't swivel hips that good! Lol

I am happy for her too. Jill is acting like a big beaked baby! I like Bethenney too. I will watch the spin off also. Congrats B!

My Dj Ricardo Patino sent me a nice email with a suprise attached.. his wife was taking pics during the wedding and he sent me a link to the pictures: Timberly and Chris I thought it was unexpected and really sweet when I think about it.

I had a rehearsal dinner planned and then didn't get to rehearse because of my drama filled travel schedule. People really appreciated not having every minute planned for them. I say keep it simple, but fun. Your schedule looks good, but IMO it is really busy. Guests arriving, the brunch/ guys outing and then a group activity, then a welcome reception? Your guests are going to be worn out girlie! I agree with Sheree 1 or 2 activities a day will be more than enough.

LOL! WOW you must really be a serious fan! Wedding trumps 24.. lol I am sure you can google this information. Good luck

Wow, that stinks, don't lose hope. Worse things have happened! In the end, it all works out, stay positive.
