awesome job theresa, they look great!

I am getting excited and nervous all at the same time. But I think everything will go smooth, had a long tallk with pilar last night and feel very at ease now. Can't wait to just get there already!

Hey Ashley, man you are on the ball, I am getting married at Now Jade on April 26th and haven't started my thread lol Everything looks great so far. Great job!!!! Ummm I guess i better get on it!

Wow Sherri, all this time and I never knew about the proposal. So romantic and yes it is great to finally put a face to the text lol Congrats girl, everything you did looks amazing and you will look beautiful on your wedding with your new dress, with or without any alterations. I want to thank you for all your support and help through the planning process, all our April brides rock!!!!! All the best on your wedding day and I can't wait to see all the pics when you get back! big hugs!

Hairstyling for short hair 45, long hair 55, makeup 45 I just pushed up my spa appointment from 11:30am to 11am and my wedding is at 3pm, don't want to chance it going too late, and I asked Pilar to book me in with Angel YAY

Do what you got to do girl! Cough Cough!!!! Man with the hours you have been putting in I dont' think anyone will really care!

Definately start without him!!! You need and deserve it with all the stress you have been under. Bottoms up!

I had time to go dress shopping and it didn't turn out so well for me but I think it is all about how you show off what you got and Brandy is right. everyone is going to be staring you and nobody else and THEY will make fun of your FMIL if you ended wearing the first dress. If it comes down to having to alter both, I would go for dress #2. It is almost perfect based on what you wanted. MAN I wish I could sew cause I feel your pain and would do it for you!!!!

Sherri-I love the dress. I think the quality of the material and beading is beautiful and I didn't even notice a seam from the front and probably wouldn't have notice if you hadn't mentioned it on the back. Even with that and without the sweetheart neckline I think it look fab on you REALLY!!! I totally forgot about the first one but that one looks good too! I like the second one better though too. I think you have time to fix whatever you aren't happy about. The store where I bought my dress can get stuff done in one day they told me but they only do alterations for dresses sold from there. I would make it a priortity to call around now and tomorrow morning and see how much and who can make it work so that you LOVE it cause those are minor things and it really does look great one you. I do know how you feel cause I have three dresses and not really in LOVE with any of them. Don't get discouraged cause as my grandma always says "it will come out in the wash" Whatever the hell that means lol Ok you FMIL is crazy for doing that! nuff said!

Sherri-YAY I am so excited for you and I am praying it fits like a glove. You MUST post pics ASAP!!!! Meggers-All the best girl! Enjoy every minute of it! And I can't wait to see how beautiful you look in all your pics! Erin-Damn girl, no woman should have so many shoe issues lol Thank god they are finally on their way! Brandy-Love the tableclothes! Lesee-Wow cutting it close but don't stress because I am sure they will arrive just in time! Tris and Erin-Have a blast this weekend! i hope to see some pics of the festivities. I am so excited that my little blue travelling starfish has arrived and i am the first one to use it! YAY I heart him! All orders are in and it is the final stretch with not too much left to do. phewfff I can now exhale.

Joannes Blue Starfish has arrived in Canada safe and sound YAY! It left on March 29th and got here April 8th so we will need to keep that in mind for other brides having to send to the US or Canada. The journal is really cute too and I can't wait to use the little guy and write my little story. Thanks again Joanne for letting this guy go before your wedding! We are the sisters of the travelling Starfish!!!!!

Jessie, that sucks! I feel so bad for you. Try and stay positive and keep pushing Fedex. I would think the package was insured and they would have to refund you! If you end up not getting the package in time, if you have time I would just run into playa to get your guests a little something from mexico. There are plenty of shops in playa del carmen on 5th avenue. I know it is not ideal but at least you will have something for them and you can file a claim with fedex when you return. Don't stress and make sure you take your dress with you lol I am sending good vibes your way

Welcome back Tenny. Glad to hear you had a fantastic time! It is strange that brides are coming back and we are all still running around with chicken with our heads cut off! Well I know I am lol Just finished all my welcome tags, put them on the totes and packed all the stuff in the oot bags, now to try and fit them all in one suitcase so my cousin who is going the day before everyone else can bring them down so i can hand them out to everyone at check in. Meggers, go all out girl, you only get married ONCE, well hopefully lol Mocha-I want to see a pic of the ever so famous dress!!!!! Got both sets of my koozies and they turned out pretty good. FI is still working on the ceremony fans LOL Shhhhh i wasn't supposed to say that! Brandy, your review was great! So happy for you Mrs.

I have been a bit mia since I am trying to get the little last minute things done but so far so good. I am getting super excited to get there!!!! I started packing all my wedding stuff and oh boy I already have 3 suit cases and 2 carry ons and that is JUST wedding stuff! I am flying from Canada with Air Transat and they don't have closets so overhead bin it is or an empty seat if possible! My whole first day at the resort is booked with appointment with all the vendors, it's crazy!!!! i sent in my planning form two weeks ago. I have my hair and makeup appointment at 11:30am and my wedding is scheduled for 3:00pm. I bumped it up to have more daylight for pics. Hanna, i hope you have found a dress by now! All the best ladies and I am so excited for all of you. Hanna I will see you there!

Welcome back Brandy! You look sooo beautiful and happy in your pics! Congrats! i am so happy to hear everything went so well and you had the best vacation ever. Can't wait to hear more and see more pics.

Hi Joanne Nothing yet. I hope it arrives soon. I think this is a sign that it looks like it will take more than a week to arrive in canada which is stange because I ordered some totes last thursday and got them today no problem. I hope the little guy arrives soon! I will keep you posted for sure.

Thanks Ladies. I am just glad that no money was waisted on the dresses and I will be able to wear all three for something! Laura and Teira-Have a blast and enjoy every minute of your wedding week! We will miss you and can't wait to hear about all the details when you get back. Sherri-Must be so nice to be home even though you are STILL running around like a mad woman!!!! Welcome MrsGatc! Greys- I am glad to hear that you are starting to feel human again and can finally get to your last minute items! Good luck with everything and enjoy your time off and your wedding week! You ladies are all going to be so beautiful on your wedding days and I am so anxious to see pics and hear all of the sappy details. I am now feeling under the weather also. I guess it was bound to be my turn! I stayed home today to relax and try and get some last minute projects done. Also organizing my suitcases. Looks like i am going to have quite a few to bring down but thank god for family as they have given me alot of their luggage space and luggage!

Tris that is a productive weekend for sure! I had one too! I went shopping with my FSIL and future niece and got her her flower girl dress and some cute flip flops and my future nephew his shirt. Forgot to take pics though. I finished laminating my bookmarks. FI and I finished cutting all of the fans for our program fan and completed 2 of 30 fans we have to do. I need to rethink the jewelry i bought because it is too modern for my original dress so that will be next weekends task. Still have to. Print welcome letter. Print caramilk bar labels and buy chocolate bars Finish fans Print and cut welcome tags Find and print a wedding timeline (having a hard time finding a template for this if any of you have one and would like to share i would appreciate it) Create and print take one sign for cake Put logo stickers on the cake boxes Put OOT bags together when they arrive. Finish playlist Buy FI gift Buy Fathers gift Holy smokes that sounds like alot with only two weekends left before I leave. I am really starting to get excited and nervous at the same time. EEEEkkk!

And here is the second knock off dress I ordered lol I am going to wear the original for the ceremony, the first knock off for the AHR and the ruffle one for my TTD. I am crazy I know lol

Here is the first knock off dress i ordered with alterations.

Meggers your dress looks Amazing and you look beautiful in it! Congrats! I went to get my original dress altered today. Here is a before pic.

Meggers, that's great news. Now you don't have to spend the extra cash this weekend. You really should eat something even if it is just dry toast or crackers and drink lots of water or ginger ale! Hope you get better soon!

To all the lovely ladies leaving soon. I wish you all the best. I know everyones wedding will be the wedding of their dreams and i am so excited for you guys and can't wait to hear all about it when you return. You all have kept me sane through this whole process. Thanks! Laura that's awesome. Extra money is great! The morale at my company is so low that no one will do anything like that for me here. Meggers I am sooooo happy to hear that your step dad will be ok and wish him the best of luck with his surgery when he returns. Gotta love loosing 4pounds but suck that you are sick and so many ladies are getting sick. I am not feeling 100% either and pray to god I do not catch what is going around. Maybe FI is having sympathy pains cause he threw up last night. Poor thing! I can't believe we are all getting married this month. Time has flown by so fast! Oh and on the E-ring thing. I am totally wearing mine the whole time. I think I am even going to wear it on my right hand until the ceremony is over!

I also don't have any crinoline under it as the one they sent me is really tight but maybe it would look a little better with that underneath. I will try that next time. Oh Meggers, that really sucks. Crap you are having a hard week for sure and I hope things start looking up for you. I would get a back up plan though for the jewelery just to be safe and return it or sell it if you don't use it. Best of luck!

bahahaha thanks Mocha! I took close ups of the imperfections but no point posting them. It is more the side of the boob area that I am not happy with because the cups are a little too small it shows too much on the side but hopefully I can get that fixed. Either way this dress will work perfect for a TTD session. I will probably still go with my original for the ceremony and I am going to get it altered this saturday as I bailed last week. I will try and get some pics of the original altered to compare the two and get better pics of the new knockoff done up right.
