Did they just outright refuse to make it or did they say they just couldn't make in time due to the holiday?

This may not involve literally trashing the dress, but some of the best TTD photos I've seen have been taken in the heart of cities, on the local public transportation, etc. I think photos of a bride and groom in an out of place location looks really cool...

These are sooo cute! The chocolates by themselves would make cool favors!

This cake is awesome! I would be worried if my venue could re-create it though...

Alright, now that I have a good idea of our final guest list, time to get rid of some of the extras! I have for sale: - A-2 natural brown envelopes (4 3/8" X 5 3/4"). I used these for my STD magnets. Selling these for 10 for $1 plus shipping. I have 200 of these. - 6 oz Max Block After Sun Aloe Vera gel. I have 21 of these and selling all of them together for $15 plus shipping. - Chapstick Ultra 30 SPF. I have 3 packs of 2 (6 total). Selling all 3 for $3 plus shipping. - Motion Sickness tablets, two tablets per pack. I have 20 of these. Selling all for $3 plus shipping. These have the same active ingredient as non-drowsy dramamine (Meclizine Hydrochloride) although the box says that it may cause drowsiness, lol. These expire in Feb 2012. PM me if interested! Thanks for looking!

Wow, thanks for the info. I even used weddingwire for my website, but hadn't checked out their other features...

Pre-nups are such a touchy subject... I'm not going to lie, when my FI brought up the the topic of a pre-nup, my initial reaction was to get offended. I understand the logic of why people want to get them, but I couldn't help but think things like, "why should we be getting married if you think there's even a chance that it won't work out?" or "does he think that I'm really the type of person that marries for money?" Maybe I'm young and naive, but I think pre-nups take away from the romantic aspect of getting married. But then again, I have no assets to protect and haven't been burned in the past so I don't know how it feels to be on the other side. In the end, my FI told me that he didn't want a pre-nup, was just curious to see if I had ever thought about it at all because his coworkers kept asking him if he was getting one, so I got offended for nothing, lol.

I would check out department stores like Macy's. They have a ton of short white dresses that would be appropriate for a beach wedding. Some of my favorites (sorry, not in cotton/linen): http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=363928&CategoryID=18109&LinkType=PDPZ1 http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=444015 http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=474748 http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=506554&CategoryID=5449&LinkType=PDPZ1 Or if you want super casual and are set on cotton: http://www.6pm.com/tommy-bahama-crinkle-cotton-maxi-dress-white

Love it! Did you end up purchasing this one?

My vote was for #3... I LOVE feathers and don't think it would be too much.

Aww... these are too cute! May need to borrow the idea...

Wow, you looked stunning! And your reception site was breathtaking!

Thanks for sharing!

Very impressive, nice work! Only feedback I have is maybe use "enclosed" instead of "inclosed" since it's more commonly used (in the U.S. anyway), and it looks like there is a period after the exclamation mark.

Wow, I don't see how they could go wrong with detailed instructions like that! Hope the second dress comes out right!
