They look fab jessica!! I hadn't even thought about self laminating tags! I have been trawling the internet for 30+ regular tags & very expensive too! thank you so much for this post and that I finally found it!! Jodie.xx

Hi Angie, Hope you don't mind if I add a few pics here too.... From the Riu Caribe. I am biased since I am getting married here! I switched from beach ceremony to Gazebo ceremony though because of a few factors...walking on sand, breeze, and water sports directly beside the wedding ceremony setup on the beach cannot/will not be moved and would block the veiws of the gorgeus ocean!! FRONT VIEW SET UP FOR A SMALL CEREMONY FRONT VIEW UNSET SIDE VIEW UNSET VIEW FROM A ROOM BALCONY ABOVE GAZEBO SIDE OF HOTEL Just thought I would share some more Gazebo pics, since we wanted the back drop but not the sand? Jodie

The only thing we have came up with yet just incase is that he walk down half way and meet me!!

Im sorry, I really havent been much use to the forum right now I have so much going on? New job, family madness!! Its all got me really really down!! Im not myself and feel bad for not contributing and posting random questions? not having much input! I love this forum im totally addicted and really have no idea where i would be without it!! A little piece of my sanity lies here ladies and gents ofcourse!! so thought i would post and say im still here but lurking mostly, i have BDW opened 24/7 on my laptop and constantly watching but my imput is limited cause im so down and getting to grips with things just now and dont want to whine too much so have stayed quiet mostly Lots of love Jodie.xx

Right? Those of you may have seen my recent posts and family dilemas!! grrr!! So this has got me and FI wondering is there a general rule of who can give u away, walk u down the aisle etc?? Apart from my dad obv?? but if someone else was to give me away if my family couldn't be there? TBH, there is only two people in the world I would want to give me away..... they already have roles....MOH and Bestman Is this super strange? actually make that 3!! My uncle is the other and under no circumstances would he travel or fly for it no matter how much we tried to talk hi into it!! I respect that? I wouldn't make him do it!! long story but he's never liked flying and really couldn't handle it at his age now!! Jodie.xx

I like the second!! Jodie.xx

What a wonderful story!! yup u know when u know!! a girl I work with got married after only knowing her now husband for 2 weeks!! Five years later and they couldn't be happier!! Jodie.xx

aw that is so romantic!!! jodie.xx

aw tht made me smile so much reading your story!! how wonderful!! Jodie.xx
