J and G 2012

You should fimd out if the bulk of the price is for the platinum or the gold smithing. I had to have my band made and the price was $800 (from a private Goldsmith) but mine is white gold.

I think these are 2 1/2"

Kya, just breath.... Thats what I keep telling myself! It will work itself out... Once you are there.... Everything will be perfect...Breath... Our thought is that we don't want any regrets. We are only doing this once. And although we are not doing a big elaborate ceremony/receptions etc. etc. we are making sure that we do everything that is important to us. no regrets. Sit down with your FI talk about what is important... If you want to do the TTD make a compromise... it's only going to be a couple of hours hunny... There will be beer there... ahaha but seriously... if it's important to you, he will do it. Breath....

Just my two cents... I love that so many ppl want to join us in Jamaica for our weddind and I think they all are just as excited as we are. We chose to put our logo on all the mugs so that when we use them again everyone will remember what an amazing time we had (are going to have!). Now are mugs are actually red (bought by our TA by the way) but you get the idea. We bought them from Etsy seller DavetDesigns, she was great to work with and the stickers cam pretty quickly from shipping from the states. They are like a plastic material and I've all ready put it through the dishwasher and it didn't fade or come off! We also got our Bubba Mugs engraved at "Things Engraved" Not too sure if I love them yet (although they are a great souviner) The wording is hard to read, it has our nicknames on it too. I will probably use the Red ones eveyone will be using, FI will use his BIG Bubba!

Shelly, I just noticed to are getting married at the Grand Palladium, if you haven't been there before, you will love it! We stayed there last December. The resort is immaculate, food is amazing and they put on some beautiful weddings!

I know in Canada, that you are supposed to wait until you have your Marriage Certificate for any Gov't issued ID. So I would assume that it would be the same for marriages outside the country. That being said, you can assume any name you want, so at work I will be taking my FIs name as soon as I return!

Does anyone have any experience ordering a bridal sash/belt? I've been looking on etsy but haven't found one that I love yet. They all seem to big or too detailed. I'm tempted to try to make one myself but i really don't want to add another thing to my To-Do list! I really want one like the one in the picture below but red to match my BMs.

These look great Avens! What a great way to personalize them. You guest will love them!

I found my dress!! So glad I didn't settle! And off the rack, fits me perfectly, discounted and only minor changes needed! I'm going to remove the flower and have a red belt. On less thing to stress about!

I was so excited, I didn't even check!

I found my dress!! After months of not being sure about my wedding dress I went and tried some more on! And I found THE one! I love it and am so glad I didn't settle! Let that be a leson to all the brides wo aren't are sure, IT is out there! I'm going to take the "flower" off the front and add a red belt to match my BMs. So excited to wear this in 5 weeks!

Walmart has the wrist coils that alot of the brides use and the badge holders, I just can't remeber if they are zippered or not. You can always use ebay, that's where I got mine. Good Luck

Janet, Your pictures are beautiful! I love the TTD shoots, can't wait for ours! In regards to your amazing programs, did you make one for every guest? This is my project for the weekend and I'm not quite sure how many I should make. Mine double as fans so the male guests may use them but I really don't want to make 90 of them!

You did a really good job! I love the brad you used, where did you get it?

Thank you Ladies! What would we do without BDW! Thank you, originally we were planning on having a simple DW. But now we have almost 90 ppl coming, amazing photographer and I'm not sure the dress suits the occasion anymore. The necklace I am having made is Swarovski crystals on 3 or 4 "invisable" strands to make it look like it's floating, if that makes sense. Weight loss was a combination of exersice and strict protein diet. Thanks Avens! Originally I was going to get a sash made but the back details doesn't look right with a belt. There was an ugly broach attached to the dress, and may replace it with a flower or another broach, if I keep it I'm going around this weekend to try some more dresses on, and keeping an eye on kijiji! Wow, I do not envy any of you who are also planning your AHR at the same time as the wedding. My FI, Mom, and girlfriends won't let me even think about the AHR until we get back! But, we're having it in June in our backyard. I could bring it in a little more at the hips/just below, and will probably do that if I can't find anything else.

Interested, YES! Do you have pictures?

Here is my dress, and although I know it looks good, I just think it is too simple. There is beading across the top which is really nice and I'm having my jewlery made to match, but I just lost 60lbs (15lbs less than this picture) and I think I want a dress with more detail at the bottom and more form fitting like a mermaid style.

We are doing pretty much the same thing as Nicky. I can't comment on what sandles offers we are going through Island Routes, and hartering the catamran. It was much cheaper than going through our resort for the catamran. Here is our contact if you are interested: Melissa Forbes [email protected]

We got him a Titanium, for anumber or reasons, 1st the price, he has lost every ring that I've got him so we didn't want to pay too much for one that he may lose eventually. 2nd we plan on getting a white gold ring for our anniversary, I need (hehe) an eternity band to go a long with my E-ring and wed band, to complete to look, and we agreed that he will get another band to wear for special occasions. Win Win

I am definately freaking out! 44 days to go, and I feels like there is so much to do! I was planning on DIYing as much as possible to save money but #1 i'm not crafty! #2 there are not enough hours in the day! So I've been feverishly contacting Real Touch florist to make my flowers, I've got one promising lead! I am doing my own programs/fans, so that is this weeks project as my paper is in. What I'm really stressing over (and I may have said this before!) is my dress. I really and truly don't think it is THE one! I bought it because it was simple and inexpensive, but I think it is just too simple! So I'm going to go try on a few more, of course I can't order one with only 1 1/2 months to go but maybe I'll get lucky with a sample or something.

Tori, Glad you asked! I created our photobucket account at the beginning of the summer when I was placing a vistaprint order. I didn't really do my homework then and now that I look, we may upgrade to the "Pro" account for $2.99/month (I don't see us using for the next year at $24.99). Here is what is included in the free account: Free accounts include: Unlimited storage for photos. Up to 500 videos permitted with up to 10 minutes in length per video. Maximum display size of photos is 2048x1536 pixels each. Maximum file size permitted is 5MB per photo and 500MB per video.

Tori, We have set up a Photobucket account. I'm new to Photoshare sites too, but this one seems pretty easy.

DramaticAnnie, I got my Bubbas engraved for the hubby and myself this weekend from "Things Engraved", I'm really excited to see how they turn out! I'll post a pic after I pick them up.

Janet your wedding and video look amazing!! Can't wait to see you pics! and hear your stories!

We have a huge group coming with us, which means I'm up to approx. 55 bags. There was no way we could afford to but a "survival kit" in everyones bag so instead we will make up a big tupperware container of everything that should be in there and have it available for our guests if they run out of something or forget something, so they don't have to pay the outrageous $ the gift shop will charge. We're just going to tell them at the welcome party that it is there for them to use.
