Thanks! I will look into the waterproof labels!

I am having a terrible time finding the right colour of coral too! If I find something, I will let you know.... Maybe I will check out Scrapbooker's Paradise this weekend.

This is so true! I could not agree more!

A sweetheart neckline would be gorgeous, for sure! Beautiful!

I would love to put our logo on our bubba kegs. I know we can engrave but is there any other way? And does anyone know how or anything at all? I am totally stuck and I would love to pick up some tomorrow...

Oooh, ooh, I love this song!

No Crossfit, but I am going to sign up for Zumba starting soon. I am so excited! I did it once and had a blast, so now I want to be doing it all the time! Plus, I signed up for a 5 k fun run that is in a few weeks. Need to get my butt in gear to be ready for it - my first run! I am so excited!

Yes! My notification worked too!

Yes, this is beautiful!

So far the underwater one definitely seems to be winning...

Thanks so much!

Ah, no NPH? ahaha. Peppermint tea - generally dislike. hot apple cider?

This is awesome! Great job!

Definitely like! Neil Patrick Harris?

Oh that is a good idea too!

Definitely like! The dollar store?

Wish I could help.... it is gorgeous!

I'm a 2013 bride, looking at July. We are in love with the Gran Bahia Principe Cayo Levantado in the Dominican, but have not booked yet (probably too early anyway). I love this site!

You can sign up online for email notifications for when they go on sale, if that makes it easier...

I agree that you have to have a united front, and giving it a few days to cool off is definitely not a bad idea. I also agree that usually the way you approach something determines how it will play out, though I add the word 'usually'. Some people are just so automatically defensive that it does not matter how you come to them with something, they are still going to fly off at you. Unfortunate, but true. However, this is usually due to a guilty conscience! Even if his family is like that, remind yourself that it is likely because they feel like something (or a lot of things) in their behaviour has given them reason to be defensive, and that, by remaining strong but polite and calm, you are being the better person. I would also remind them about the money your family has paid, and ask that, if they want you to postpone, that they personally refund your entire family's money. Least they could do, after all. If they say no, then you get to go do what you guys want anyway. If they say yes, then I would be curious to see where the money comes from that they were oh so concerned about. But yes, the most important thing is to get on the same page with your FI; does he want the same wedding you guys do? Honestly, have you ever thought of eloping? I know I did when drama ensued with me... Good luck, and hope all is well with you. I know we will all be hoping for the best!

This is a good idea; I was wondering how to do it! Might have to steal your idea!

I am doing them, but more as a way to keep cool (since I am doing fan-style ones). I might just put the bridal party and the "In Memory Of", even, depending on if I get a ceremony script from the WC first. That being said, I always keep the programs when I go to weddings. (I scrapbook everything), as does my family; it is a small wedding so I will not be doing that much, and, since I have so many materials from other scrapbooking projects, it will be close to free (yay DIY). So, in short, I think it really depends on the person.

We haven't asked about the payments, since our wedding will likely be really small, and we just started planning, but that would be very good to know. We are using a local travel agent. She has experience in destination weddings, and is really, really good. She has answered every question/email (we were out of town for a while) within hours (at the very most), and so far we are quite happy. At first I was hesitant about getting someone who wasn't a specialist in destination weddings, but after talking to her I was totally put at ease. Hopefully it continues on this well!

Thanks for all the ideas ladies; this will be great when I do ours! You guys are the best!

Okay, you were able to confirm for April? That is good news for us; we are trying to get for July that same year. We are hoping we will have some more luck booking when we get our travel agent stuff organized. If you search through here, there are some pictures someone posted a while ago. I also have the pictures that the coordinator first sent me when I first inquired (they are the exact same as the ones on here). Maybe that will help? I would also check out tripadvisor for pictures; don't pay attention to the comments, but pictures might help. The idea of it being on its own island really sold us on that place too!
