  1. It is very frustrating but kind of to be expected with destination weddings. I think maybe the best thing would be for your FI to sit down with him and explain just how much is would mean to him to be there. I'm not sure if you are getting married on the cruise ship or in a port on some island, but maybe his best man can even come for the wedding part (if it is before you depart) and then not come on the cruise. Good luck with things!
  2. Basically the idea of it is that someone has purchased a starfish for their bouquet and has decided to pass it along to other brides to use in their bouquet at their wedding. You join a list, for whatever color you want, and if your dates fit in with the list, and then when its your turn the person before you sends it to you and then once you use it you send it to the person after you on the list.
  3. What about: In my Daughters eyes- Martina McBride Because you loved me -Celine Dion
  4. I need your help and advice. I got engaged on December 14, 2010. My FI gave me a ring which was exactly what I wanted - white gold, solitaire with cathedral setting. Here are some pictures: For the first few months I had my ring I never had any problems. The problems started at the end of March. One day I looked down and noticed that one of the prongs holding the diamond up was completely bent over and the diamond was almost falling out. I immediately took it off and took it to the store my FI bought it from. They had to send it away to be fixed, which took 3 weeks. They called me when It came in and I went to pick it up and my ring looked awful. All four prongs were really crooked and when you looked at the ring from the side everything was not centered and was tipped to one side. I told them immediately and once again they had to send it away to be fixed, which was another 4 weeks. Well everything seemed to be fine until today, when I looked down and noticed that the diamond was once again loose and I could spin it in a complete circle and one of the prongs was once again bent over. I'm not hard on my ring, I don't wear it to work and I try my best to be careful with it. Once again I had to take it to the store my FI bought it from and they sent it away, this time it will take 4 weeks. I absolutely love my solitaire ring, but I dont want to have to send it away every few months to get fixed, especially when my FI paid a lot of money for it! I'm considering having my ring melted down and reset into a different setting, maybe a lower setting with more protection for my diamond, or with stronger, thicker prongs. Has anyone done this or thought of doing this? Was it expensive? I'm just really worried that if I do it I will regret it. Any opinions or advice would be appreciated!
  5. I tried to use that etching cream for our champagne flutes for our wedding and it ruined the flutes. Glad to hear you are well on your way though! Can't wait to see when you get them done!
  6. I'm currently trying to put together a welcome letter, thanks for sharing yours!
  7. Very pretty flowers!! The colors look great together!
  8. I am currently on the hunt for the perfect jewellry, great site!
  9. I wish I could cover the cost of my bridesmaids, but its just not possible. What a great idea though!
  10. We are using the coils. They were cheaper and I don't think people in our group would use the lanyard.
  11. We are not having an AHR so I can't help you in regards to that. We have decided to do OOT bags for our guests and decided against doing favors. We thought that because people were already getting the OOT bags we thought it was unneccesary. I guess its just whatever you are comfortable with doing.
  12. We really haven't chosen colors either, and I wasn't planning on matching things. I don't think you need to match everything.
  13. Thats exciting! We are getting married January 13, in Jamaica!
