I've been planning (mostly in my mind) since July of last year... and I didn't get officially engaged until Oct! And the wedding isn't until June of 2011. No such thing as too early! Congrats!

Congrats and happy planning! This site is fun!

where are you getting married in Cancun? Congrats!

Opps.. forgot to say Congrats!

I stumbled too! Was doing a search on yahoo, was directed to brides.com, and then a forum had a post with this link on it! I'm so excited we all found this place. I'm a Knottie too, so I decided to put this link on there too... in hopes that all destination brides/grooms find this place. It's gold!!! and addictive!

Welcome! And congrats!

I'd like more contemporary but nice dresses they can wear again if they want. I have two maids in Alaska, 1 in North Carolina, 1-2 in St. Louis, and 2-4 in Illinois. I share your pain. Ebay has sellers that make dresses like the designers. I was thinking about one massive order from their and having the maids pay me back (the ebay ones are much cheaper so I could afford to fork over the money for now until I can be paid back, and the reviews are good for many of the ebay sellers). Or, you can try to get their measurements and order them at one place and have them sent to each one. Davids bridals have many locations too. Either way, you probably want to order them at the same time because of the dye lot (colors can vary if you order them at different times) Hope this helps! Congrats

We decided to marry at the Sun Palace because their beach is gorgeous. We chose to stay at the Moon Palace because our group is around 50 people so the Sun Palace would be a little small for a large and loud group like ours I appreciate any advice you have! Congratulations to all of you too! Carly That's great you have so many coming! Have fun planning!

I'm interested in if anyone has info about these and will search the forums to see if there's anything posted yet about them. It's nice to meet everyone! ~ Julie Try the Cancun/riviera maya thread. Congrats!

Sorry if it seems like I'm raping this section. But I have another dilemna. Some of you girls say you are calling Claudia. How do you do this. I called the number on her email. But when someone answered, I realized that I don't speak a lick of Spanish (LOL). I said, English please and I got transfered. I think the second person was speaking English, but it was so soft and accented I still couldn't understand. I said Claudia Cantillo please ext. 7635 and I got a few beebs and then I guess it hung up. Glad to see my $.65/min went to good use...;-( Does anyone have a better number to call? Help Please!

Stephanie - is that trumpet... i love the way it hugs you in all the right places...ow ow! And I adore the little V dip in the bust Island bride - I was considering that one too. Is that the Maggie version or the Sottero Midgley version? ( both websites have a very similar dress like that, one in taffeta and i think the other in chiffon or satin). Jannae - is that straight up lace, or is there beading too? Either way.. so sexy! I envie your bust (it'll have to be boob pads for me ..lol) simplnsweet - envy you most of all.. how wonderful and unique to be able to CREATE your dress! You must show us pics when you get it. I'm so excited for us all!

Quote: Originally Posted by cougs i laughed hard at this ... you just *know* all the chunky chicks (like myself) are calling you a biatch in our heads! but seriously anyone with any kind of weight issue (read: all women, lol) should understand what it's like to have problems achieving their ideal weight, whether it be less or more. it is likely just stress and nothing more serious, but do try the protein shakes. and if you have other types of symptoms or are still worried then definitely see a doctor. unexplained major weight loss can sometimes be a sign of bigger issues. that said, stress made me eat *everything* that wasn't nailed down for a whole month prior to my wedding, and yet i was still losing weight despite it all! of course, those pounds came flying back after being happily married, lol! there are a ton of threads on this forum regarding weight/diet/exercise, so check them out as well. it's a tad off-topic for this thread. in the meantime, invest in a push-up bra? hehe Cougs, I'm kinda like you, except that I'll probably gain it all right Before my wedding (instead of after). That happened before both of my graduations...ahhh. So I probably will be worrying about the opposite in a year. Thank you everyone for your understanding and advice! Now on to this forum's newest main issue... Mannia! This is cruddy! Discounts for all but Dreams?!?! Booo! Maybe if I ask her before I sent in my deposit she'll think it will hook me more. But if all of you are saying no, then it's probably a no go. I personally want the dance floor more than the music. I hurt my ankle at a wedding a few years back and I don't want to try dancing on the sand. Also, i agree with previous posters.... any new or soon to be Dreams brides, could you send us some picks of all the beach choices?

Sottero&Midgley JSM1239-Ivory and Pewter. I'm making it strapless and making the back a corset (just not sure yet if I want an open corset or a modesty panel... any suggestions?)

Thanks everyone for the dress congrats! Tori and Tiff... I'm having the opposite problem. Everyone is telling me I'm losing too much weight (i'm not trying to p*** anyone else off, i know i used to be p***ed when someone would say they were loosing too much weight), and everyone keeps commenting on it and I am a little scared because I eat well and frequently and am not trying to lose. But I'm losing my boobs too. I'm hoping it's just stress and not something serious. I just don't want to look like a skeleton on my wedding, I'm usually very curvy, like in my siggy! Anyone ever tried those ensure drinks/ (my little cousin had to drink them when she was sick to gain weight). Again, I hope I'm not making anyone mad, I think we all just want to be our ideal weight , whether it's more or less than what we are.

Carly __________________________________ I have a few questions about TTD. I would LOVE to have pictures of us jumping in the ocean/pool but am a bit concerned. I don't want to actually ruin my dress but it's taffeta so I think this is inevitable when it comes to water right? I also don't want to do it and then have the dress sit in the hot, humid climate of the Caribbean for two weeks to have it cleaned. So i'm curious what you all are doing. Are you just going to toss/donate your dress in the Caribbean? Try to have it cleaned before you leave? Leave it till you get home? I got my actual dress off ebay for only $340 (retails for $850!) - so it's not like i'm throwing away money if I do ruin it. And I don't really know why I don't want to ruin it since it'll be stored and never used again (though I did see a cute idea where you have your kids picture taken in it every year). I'm just torn right now. What a cute idea with your kid in the dress each year (what if it's a boy...lol)

I think these kinds of weddings are the best! Beautiful location, and usually cheaper and more intimate. You made a great decision!

Aw Christmas! I hear they have diamond jewelry really expensive at St. Thomas. I couple got their anniversary ring there and it was gorgeously sparkly! Just a thought as a honeymoon/wedding present for yourself ;-)

Welcome! Congrats on your wedding to be
