I love you girls lol we can so relate. Alot of us have the same issues!!! Mocha, funny enough I was just on DH Gate checking out another dress to order lol I like the alfred angelo 2070 for my TTD. It's plain, simple but elegant but I couldn't see myself paying 700$ for it at a bridal store cause even the original is just ok in terms of structure and quality compared to the maggies. Here it is below. I can get it for 123$ shipped to canada. What do you all think?

Ya I don't know about this one either, I guess I will have to try it on and see if I get the feeling or not. I never got that OMG this is the one feeling in the beginning. I do have another knockoff dress that I am going to try and see if I can alter to what I want to use for my trash the dress but if all else fails I think I have another dress I like that I can order as a knock off. I don't know, it is such stress finding a dress. I wish I could go in yoga pants and a hoodie LOL

I got the Sottero & Midgley dress.

They could probably swing that. Technically it is supposed to be 4 bus days before but they manage to get everything worked out in time to do it earlier most times. If you are landing early enough on Friday during bus hours then I think they will be able to make it happen, but I wouldn't plan anything until you get written confirmation from them.

Thanks Brandy. I am excited but nervous to try it on. It has been since October that I ordered it and August since I even tried on the sample size that was too small so I am really hoping that I still like it or I will have to venture another try on DH Gate lol

I wish our guests had as much common sense as we do!!! I haven't had anyone back out but I did have a few from the get go that refused to go to mexico. Some of the guests coming have shown concern but really I just dismiss it saying it is no where near where we are and I live in Toronto where there are shootings and accidents all the time. I feel safer in Mexico to be honest! In the end you don't want them there if they are not happy to be there and scared all the time. I have some guests that are worried and have just said they will not go off the resort which makes them feel better for some reason but whatever i will have two drinks in hand at all times and nothing will bother me that week lol

Good luck ladies, I am sure everything will be beautiful and you will all have a wonderful time there. Can't wait to hear the reviews. congrats Mishaka!

Erin I also got a cheap Memorex portable hand held ipod system from walmart and the sound is great, it was only about $50. I think this might do the trick too! Glad I could help bailey!

Welcome Angela, you will love this thread! Kitty-That dress ROCKS, I would love to have that dress, it looks so flattering. Brandy-You have every right to be LIVID (that's my mad word lol) at this guy. What a joke. Blast him for sure and get your money back. Start a dispute if that is possible on etsy. The orange ones look great so the pink would have too for sure. Erin-Bose is a great one and it works on batteries too and comes with a remote but is a little pricey. OMG ladies my dress arrived today yikes!!!!!! I am going to go see it on Saturday but not get any fittings until March as I am still on my weight loss journey. So far down 15total and 5 since I started with the dietician/trainer. Wanted to lose 34 more but that is unrealistic at this point so another 20 would be great! Ohh I also booked a slushy machine for my AHR, I am soooo excited about this, I will have 4 different flavors.

Good point, didn't look at it long enough to notice that lol I think the last one is too light.

I think the groom can wear 1 and the groomsmen can wear 3 for him to stand out but yet the stipes are in all ties.

Way to go Brandy! I am having a snow day/sick day today. up coughing all night and got the news that my tenant is moving out in either may june or july right smack dad in the middle of the DW, HM and AHR, fantastic! He is not sure yet when but wanted to give me the heads up as he got a job closer to his home town. Just another thing to worry about and work into my schedule. Ah well, even though he is quiet and pays on time he is a typical guy and he is a SLOB and it drives me crazy. He has his own appartment in the house but it is just gross!!!

If you are looking for white finger starfish there is a store in china town off spadina that has them. I forget the street that it intersects but it is not far from kessington market. I ordered white knobby starfish for my centerpieces and placecards from ebay also and there was no problem with shipping them to me.

I hear ya sister!!!!! When is your date again? I am April 26th but arriving the 23rd-30th. We are getting blasted tonight in Toronto from the system that is coming up from Texas. Brrrrr.

APOLA-Thank you so much for sharing that! Mocha-they want to charge $450 to cancel but I never though about rescheduling. Ahhh forget it, I got too much going on right now to worry about $150bucks! Brandy-Can't wait to see the koozies and the suit you ordered. Still have ordered FI's yet, we need to get him measured still. I vote White!!!! OMG kathy I am addicted to those ice cream machines. I went on a carnival cruise once and loved it!!!!! The Riu resorts also have them lol Laura the bags and tags look great, can't wait to see how the iron ons turn out. Jwetli-welcome and this is what I plan on using. I may change it around a bit but this is what I have so far. It's still a little cheesy for me so I might have to change some wording but you get the idea. Sand Ceremony "Today, Lisa and Jason, have chosen to commemorate their marriage through the celebration of the Sand Ceremony. As you stand beside the ocean, may your love always be as constant as the tide; waves flowing endlessly from the depths of the sea. Just as water is the eternal force of life, so is love. Love is the force that allows us to face fear and uncertainty with courage. You have just sealed your relationship by giving and receiving of rings. But although you will be sharing one life, never forget that you are two separate people. Cherish and affirm your differences. Love each other. Keep your commitment primary. Together you will laugh and cry, be sick and well, be happy and angry, share and grow. Grow sometimes together, sometimes separately. To symbolize this union and the importance of the individuals within the marriage, two separate colors of sand will be combined. Each one holds its own unique beauty, strength, and character. They can stand on their own and be whole, without need of anything else. However when these two are blended together they create an entirely new and extraordinarily more intricate entity. Each grain of sand brings to the mixture a lasting beauty that forever enriches the combination. Please pour the sand into this common container to symbolize the union of your two lives. (Begin pouring sand) Jason and Lisa, just as these grains of sand can never be separated and poured again into the individual container, so will your marriage be a molding of two individual personalities, bonded together forming one heart, one life, and one family.

Well my agent just called me and told me that one of my dad's friends who has a deposit down just hung up on her! How rude, not sure of the entire situation but my third agent(the manager now) is going through the list of guests to call and confirm all names and such as well as get credit card info but not charge till the deadline of Feb 16th and she didn't not want to give hers so she said no problem I will just need it a couple of days before the deadline and the lady told "well we are not coming then and hung up" Wow not sure what happend but I will get the full story tonight. DRAMA!!!!! That's great Erin. If you are close to her it shouldn't be weird at all unless she is bringing her son LOL

Lua that is great news! The same thing happend to me. Ours dropped $120 per person so $1409.66 double occupancy for a 5star!!! The only bummer is they have a preferred section which we have 11 rooms booked and that one didn't go down because we sold it out but those on the regular side all got a break from double occupance, triple occupancy and singles!

Hey Apola i was wondering if you didn't mind sharing the portuguese poems you have as FI's parents are portuguese and i think they would really appreciate that! Kathy, Mocha and Erin-great job on everything. Kathy-keep it up! you are doing great! Welcome SeeFlowers! Well this weekend i ordered my lanyards, bought the other half of my cake topper and found a minister to marry us before we go to mexico. Found out pricing for port a potties for my AHR lol fun stuff i tell ya! Planning the AHR is alot and mine has become alot bigger than anticipated with about 140people coming yikes!!! Going to Greece for two weeks three weeks after we get back from Mexico. I am totally pissed though cause my flight went down $150 per person and i keep forgetting to turn off the notification grrrrr! Anyways, sound like everyone had a very productive weekend. Oh and I booked my teeth whitening for March 5th!

Teira-I love that outfit. I would love to get something similar. Thanks for the website I am totally going to check it out. Tenny-I bought that sand ceremony set but in White.

Hi Rachel I think the rectangular tables are the standard 8feet. In terms of a photographer I HIGHLY recommend Ivan Luckie. He has been amazing with me so far. Great communication and prices. He has gone above and beyond already and I haven't even met him yet. He has amazing reviews. Let him know I recommended him if you speak with him. The resort will deliver your OOT bags to the room but I was told at a charge of 2$ per room. If you send the florist pictures of the flowers you want they will try to accomodate, depending on what is in them they may charge you more than what the package offers though. Lisa

Hi Amy9968 Welcome to the forum. I will still be there till the 30th. I am just heading out now but can chat later. Have fun reading this forum it is awesome! I suggest going through this entire thread because you will have alot of your questions answered for sure. Lisa

Tris-that's right you only get one chance, she is better off without him if he keeps doing that to her! So excited for you, good luck with the mortgage and house hunting! Just did p90x cardio workout and boy I am sore from my workout thursday with the trainer but hey no pain no gain right? Now off with FI for our teeth whitening consultation and to book our appt for closer to the wedding. Can't wait to have pearly whites cause we both have huge smiles lol I call mine a chucky cheese smile and his looks like the mexican wrestler el tabador from the koodo commercials (cell phone company here in canada) lol ok i am off, have a great day ladies!

hahaha don't worry i won't tell lol those look grea! I love starfish lol. Have you tried them on with your dress?

we all need a little treat sometime lol I am struggling because tonight I am supposed to go for a girls dinner (lasagna) and passion party tonight with drinking and I so need to drink lol but don't want to sidetrack my progress. I am still only down 3pounds this week so I am scared if I indulge I will totally gain that all back.

6 small meals a day is great but I would ask your trainer what they think. Maybe add in more protein and fibre. My dietician told me that whenever I eat a carb I should always have a protein with it. She also suggested in the beginning that i don't eat starch/carbs in the evening, just protein and vegetables. I am no expert and everybody is different but I find that if i want carbs at all I try to eat them in the morning and stay away from them anytime after lunch. Do you drink alot of water? That was part of my problem because I am addicted to diet pepsi.
