J and G 2012

I just posted a review http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/products/sunset-jamaica-grande-all-inclusive/reviews You do have to have a booking number to secure your wedding date.

Avens, If you want to keep yoour maiden name (like a middle name) you should be able to assume your married name without hyphenating. I too was not planning on changing my name, but when I returned, I changed my mind. If it's good enough for him, it's good enough for me (but it's definatley taking some getting used to! I am the butt of many jokes lately! Professionally I will be Jamie Wilkie-Brain (So that I don't have any issues with ppl not knowing who I am) but legally I'm going Jamie Brain. Kya, Your wedding looks beautiful! I like that your dress was long but short enough to show off your beautiful barefoot sandels! I too am feeling the post wedding sadness. It feel like so long ago now! And we didn't have great weather or very much time to ourselves, so I'm dying for a Honeymoon! Just trying to convince DH that it is required! Luckily, I still have our AHR to plan.... and I guess it will be babies after that to keep me busy! Jamie

Hello Ladies, Just wanted to let you know that Beyond the Rack has some beautiful Swarovski jewelry for sale today!

Ellie, Where did you get your kraft paper for the jackets and what size magnets are they from Vistaprint? Thanks!

Papercircle.ca does ship internationally.

Love these! You did such an amazing job! Kinda wish I had to do it over again!

We used Papercircle.ca, the products were great and the service from Vicki was amazing!

Beautiful Avens! Great details, awesome pictures! I love the hair vine! Never would have though about anything like it, but it looks great!

My DH had wedding dreams for the entire month before the wedding! Luckily there were not all nightmares You can bring snacks through customs, just not fruit, in most cases. Where are you travelling to?

JayKay, sorry to here about the troubles, there always seems to be drama during weddings, and for DW we have to deal with it for a whole week! I'm glad that you are not dwelling, and focusing only on the important part. Great Pictures AM! You look very happy! Love the butt grabbing pic! It's usally the other way around!

Your picture look great Perry! I know what you mean about crying! I can't stop looking at mine!

The ticket jacket was made with an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet, but you can find envelopes wherever you order your paper from.

Thank you ladies for all the kind words. I love love love our pictures! our photographer definitely made us look good!

Krysta, We did Postcards foreveryone to send to us, They loved the idea and I can't wait to start receiving mail! I highly recomend real touch! I ordered from Bridal Bloom, Judy was fabulous to work with, tehy turned out better (and less expensive) than real flowers. And I've broght them all home for our AHR still as beautiful as the first day I got them! Our travel agent gopt us mugs with her info on one sides and we put our logo stickers on the other. The stickers are perfect all still intact and colourful! TA's, not so much. A litle sunscreen and it wiped right off. Cape, If you want to do #1 than do it! It's supposed to be for you to have fun! and I'm sure you will!

AM, I'm so sorry to hear of your dilemma. I know how difficult it is. If your Dad and his wife coming would make any problems for you, or others that you care about uncomfortable then you have to do what you feel is best. I think Jay Kay said it best, It's about you and your FI. You don't need any extra drama. This is probably going to be my last post before we leave, as I have so much stuff still to do! Thank you all for your words of wisdom and guidance! I hope your day is all you dreamed about and more! "See" you in the new year, and a new life! Jamie

Today's my last day at work for 2 weeks, just tying up lose ends... and using the copier for anything I still need to print! We leave in 3 days for Toronto, and married 1 week today! Ahhhh! So excited! Going to finishing my packing in the next 2 days, and then... relax! Had a stressful evening last night, had 2 wakes to go to and dinner with my Dad, where he proceeded to tell me (1 week before the wedding) that he's not coming, can't be around my Mom. Oh well his loss. We've got 90 ppl coming and the rest would miss it for their life!

SS, Call your local municipality, ie. Toronto City Hall. They will issue you a Marriage Licence and should have a marriage commissioner available to perform a short ceremony and sign the papers.

BeachBride, You have to go try on more dresses! I was in the exact same predicament, always looking at other dresses, envying those that had found the "one"! I went out with my sister (who I am not that close to) found 3 different dresses that I loved at different stores and then at the last one, I found "it". You will know when it is the dress you are supposed to get married in. Even if you don't have anyone to go with, you still need to go try more on. This is just my opinion, and you can always sell the dress on ebay or craigs list if the store won't take it back.

Here is what she put together for me, I love them! I didn't really know what I wanted or how to put them together but I had to have the red Hibiscus as it's are major theme!

Judy is amazing! Great prices and beautiful work! I can't wait to show off our flowers at the wedding! What is your bouqet going to look like?

Love Love Love these AM! You look fabulous! Where/what are you going your Civil ceremony, cause that is just too much dress not to show it off!
