Good suggestions girls. We're having an afternoon reception, just drinks and appetizers from 2-5pm, so I don't think I'll bother changing, but maybe I'll bring a back up in case I want to later.

Good point! Thanks!

Hey girls, I'm also a Registered Dietitian and a former personal trainer, but even I would like to lose a few lbs before the big day. Since I met Fi, his bad eating habits and my good eating habits have kind of met in the middle. I'm happy with where I am now, but I would like to trim up a big for the wedding. We all want to feel particularly gorgeous that day! I have about 8 lbs to lose. I think support is a HUGE part of weight loss success, so this thread is fantastic. I'm also happy to answer any questions.

Is anyone wearing their wedding dress again for their AHR? My mother is adamant that I wear it again so people can see it. lol. I would love to wear it again, but I don't want to feel silly. I am looking for a short white dress for the rehearsal dinner. There are so many amazing dresses in this thread!

Sweet! Would you be able to email them to me??

Ya I've had that problem as well. Super frustrating.

Air Canada seems to have a lot more perks and better prices than Westjet.

We confirmed our wedding date last week and I asked Veronica to send me choices for bouquets, etc, but still haven't got a reply. When do they usually send those out?

My package came today! Lanterns, fans, and parasols!! So excited! Fast shipping too!

Yep, that's what I was told too.

I think it's gorgeous, elegant and very unique!

Yes, when you pay it gives the option of "Split/Partial payment".

Yes - we are doing that too. Except I screwed up. I was booking the trip for my mother-in-law to-be and I just assumed she was paying in full (and Fi forgot to tell me otherwise), but she only wanted to put the deposit down right now. WARNING TO EVERYONE - We called Expedia IMMEDIATELY after I pressed "submit" and tried to get them to reverse the charges so we could rebook with just the deposit. They REFUSED even though we're booking 30 people through them! So much for customer service. If we had gone directly through Westjet, at least they have a 24 hour policy to make changes or cancellations with no penalty. So, although we're saving some money with Expedia, you may pay for it in customer service.

Aw those are great! I wish I had seen those before I ordered mine. Good find!

Beautiful! I'm thinking about a similar bracelet, but I hadn't seen those earrings before. Gorgeous!!

Me too! It's so tough to decide!!

We had the exact same experience and we've decided to have everyone book on their own. Most people are happy with this, as they want to search for the best rate anyways. We booked through Expedia yesterday and saved $1000 over the Westjet "group rate". We even got an upgraded room and $250 spa credit. Expedia seems was definitely the way to go for us.

Thanks ChelsH! I'm happy with 4pm - it means I get to wear my dress longer! lol.

Free shipping??? To Canada? How??

They do ship to Canada (I just ordered recycled OOT bags through them) but beware - the shipping charge is HUGE. The bags I bought we $1 each and I bought 24. I ended up paying $50 by the time I paid the shipping. So much for my great deal. lol.

So we JUST got confirmation of our wedding date today! November 10th, 2011!! SO excited!! Veronica emailed us and introduced herself as our WC. I've only even heard about Ana and how great she is, so I'm a little nervous. Has anyone used Veronica before??? Also, what time are most people having their ceremonies? 4pm? 5pm?

Ohhh I love this!

Great website!

Love this! Where did you find it??

PS - if you have a picture of the table set-up and/or centrepieces that would be great! Just so I can get an idea.
