@@diadiamond. Now that's really funny.... That's our Walmart and the superstore across the street. I go from the Meadowvale Go station!

I'm in the same boat. I've almost decided but since it's not our wedding I'm trying to figure about justifying the expense. I found someone from here and like his stuff, the price is really very good.... But just not sure if we really need it. I still watch our wedding video every once in a while since its on my desktop of my computer. I just click when I feel like watching... For you since its your wedding I would definitely give it serious thought if you're that much in love with the video company. It's a great thing to have so if there is a way to swing it budget wise I say go for it.

@@Wafflesmom oh my god I love you!! lmao you just sent me to heaven!! shoes!!! lots and lots of shoes!!! and blue shoes!!!! I'm going to find my Mexico shoes now!! thank you!! lol

I've seen a few ladies on here over the last couple of years doing the Badgley Mischka's so I can't really say yours are pricey compared to them but yeah... lol they're pricey. But they are definitely super cute!! I love the blue sole!

OMG you guys are hilarious!! The gigantic you know what is just too funny! But it looks like you had a good time!! Don't stress about the dance. If the two of you are fighting over it then maybe just leave it for a while. Working the night shift sucks totally (been there done that) and it can completely throw your system out of whack. Maybe hubby to be is just tired and that's affecting his concentration as well. I know it would be something really cool to do in front of everyone but as you said, maybe if you had been able to start earlier..... I just hate seeing anyone fight over something that in the grand scheme of things, it's only the two of you that will miss it!

Me too!! Definitely #2 Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

@@KayRae What a beautiful bride you were! And your video is beautiful! Congrats on being a Mrs!

That sounds like a perfect compromise to me and I think it will work just fine if your family is on board. Fingers crossed for you! Just out of curiosity where is Romero's that you mentioned? City center or close to it?

I know sometimes if the seller is only doing things part time it may take a few days to answer. I also did inquire about something at the beginning of the year and never heard back from the seller at all. It can be a bit frustrating but have you done a search on Etsy to see if anyone else is selling them?

Omg - you're beautiful!! Absolutely gorgeous! The "last minute" veil makes it and it's so pretty! Looking forward to hearing about it and see more pics!! All the best!

Oh I can just feel myself preening under the glow! lol Thanks ladies! Honestly. You guys are such a huge help! @Tinkersofi I know - isn't it gorgeous! And SO forgiving.... which is the whole point!!! @calgarybride2016 Thanks girlfriend but I'm just an old hack... lol

Geez you ladies are good for my ego! Think that's why I've stuck around. I get my ego fluffed so much!! But @@vancouverpetunia and @@Meandhim thank you! I'm just happy now that it's done! Now to get finalized where we're going to stay!! Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

@@yycbride2016 Just an FYI, TLMB posted several more new dresses tonight. Mine is on so my trigger is pulled now! yay!! Go take a look if you have a minute but start with the FB page. not sure they're all on the website yet. Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

Hmm that sound strange. I've never had an issue getting to the site at all except once when it first switched over from the old format and we had to switch our login. But notifications went out to the site members at the time on what to do. I can put a trouble report in for you if you like and see if we can find out what the issue is, unless you've already done it. Let me know.

@diadiamond I love everything you've done so far! And red will be beautiful on the beach! Not long to go now. September is right around the corner. Mind if I ask which Marlin at which Walmart? lol We really have some similarities lol I work downtown too (University & Queen) and I'm also a law clerk and we're in Mississauga. We used Marlin when we got married and had a great experience but when it came time to try to put our October trip together the agent we used before just wasn't responsive. She's an outside agent now so it's really hard to get in touch with her. Her turn around time for responding totally sucked! Other than that we had a great experience with Marlin.

Thank you! At my age I'm afraid I don't qualify as sophisticated lol But I really wanted my shoulders covered and that's what I got. But not enough I don't think that it will be too warm.

Thanks Kim! At last. This is the one I've been holding out for since the beginning of April and it just kept getting delayed and delayed. I just figured to heck with it. I'll make the choice of one of the others and then she messaged me a little while ago and said it was in. Yay!

Well drum roll please!! Done deal! I said yes to the dress!! (lmao that's so corny!!) Here it is: The back And up close Finally!! It's off the to do list!!

That's where we are in October - on a rooftop terrace, 6 people and then a wonderful dinner at Casa del Agua in Playa del Carmen. Can't wait! ! Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

@yycbride2016 Just curious - is that Sophia Tolli a label size 10 or a street size 10? Because they fit a lot smaller than regular sizes. I would look at the measurements and see what is listed, then keep in mind you can quite easily take it down about 2 sizes. I know the ladies have mentioned places for alterations in Calgary that are reasonably priced. Still might be something to keep as a side plan.

@FutureMrsPaez Well, obviously no one knows your families better than the two of you so I can't say on that bit, but if it was me, I would just let everyone know that you're doing what the two of you want to do and go do it... then you'll do what everyone else wants afterwards. If that's what it will take to keep the peace, then maybe that's the best route for you to go. I know when it finally came down to it, and we had our decision made, there were a couple of questions. Our BM and MOH really thought they had us convinced to change our plans and do the wedding at home, then go to Jamaica for a honeymoon. Needless to say the friendship fell apart. My in laws asked the same question. But everyone got a free meal and a party out of the whole deal anyway so nobody was going to complain. They ended up not having to put any money out. Which for our grown kids was really the main issue. Our grandkids are all small so our kids are all in the middle now of ballet and swimming and baseball, and t-ball and all the same stuff that we went through raising them. We know what it's like to be tight for money when you're starting out with a family and paying for them to go to Jamaica just wasn't an option for us. So really in the end, everyone got what they wanted. We have some great pictures of our wedding in Jamaica, and with all of our family and friends when we got home. It all worked out. Don't know if that helps or not, but definitely keep us posted. My gut still says go for it and do what the two of you want! The resorts are all able to deal with just a couple by themselves. They've done it plenty of times! lol And Playa is a gorgeous area. What resort or hotel are you looking at? We're renewing our vows this Oct 20th in PDC at Grand Coral Beach Club.

Hi @FutureMrsPaez Congrats and welcome to BDW! You've definitely come to the right place for opinions! My husband and I were married in Jamaica almost 4 years ago. We had the same thing - at first everyone was excited. Then one by one things "happened" and people decide not to go or couldn't go for whatever reason. When push came to shove our BM and MOH cancelled too. In the end, hubby was the one that basically said too bad for everyone else. It was OUR plan to go to Jamaica and it was what we wanted so that's what we were going to do. We did. And loved it!!! It was hard accepting that we were there by ourselves. The wedding coordinators signed our marriage license. But we did what we had originally intended and in the end we got the last laugh on everyone else because we ended up booking last minute due to tall the changes and saved nearly $300 each on the cost of the trip. We had a reception at home 2 weeks after returning from Jamaica and had a great time. We're a lot older and have grown kids (second time around for both of us) and grandkids. But everyone was there for the party and we had another photographer so still managed to get family "wedding" photos. Would the preference have been to have our family and friends in Jamaica with us? Absolutely!! And it took me some time to get over. But hubby pointed out that what we wanted was important and that we shouldn't let everyone dictate how and where we were going to get married. He was totally right (I hate saying that!!!) lol We got married in a gazebo right on the beach, had a Jamaica photographer, a private little dinner afterwards and really enjoyed the time together. We tried to get married on the 10th anniversary of our first date, but with all the scrambling we ended up being 4 days before. Close enough! lol It was the best the resort could do. I think what it comes down to is what's important to you and I don't think it's selfish at all!!! There are brides that wouldn't even consider getting married without the whole family and friends deal. There are others that don't mind it being just two. Will you be able to "deal" with whatever guilt you have laid on you afterwards? If so, then I say go for it. Do what is most important to YOU!! And then do a family party/reception afterwards to appease the guilt trippers. We had some of our photos by the date of the AHR and did a slide show that ran for the evening so everyone got to see where we had been. Your wedding can be whatever you want it to be! Good luck and happy planning!!

@trbutler That is SO pretty!! What date was your wedding? Do you have pictures that you can post, and are you selling anything? And congrats by the way!

@@JoannaBanana Would you consider short?

@pddmc What a totally neat idea! And a beautiful keepsake!
