Thank you ladies I will check these sites out for flowers

Luckily for us we did not have too many people we invited. Outside of family we tried to think of the people we wouldn't mind being on a tropical island with. The last thing I needed was to fly somewhere beautiful to turn around and end up kicking some tail because someone wants to start drama. I am not having it. Ladies, I am feeling the same way as you all. At first I pissed, mad, and even started thinking about making changes and losing deposits. Then all that turned into the attitude of " YOU GOT TO BE FREAKING KIDDING ME" this is not about you and what you folks want. None of them are paying anything therefore you definitely have no say. If it is that important for you to be there for your brother then make it happen with no complaints. What are these people thinking ? At this point I do not care what they want or do.

Vent anytime you need to, this forum has definitely been a great place for me to get my venting out. We are here as extra shoulders to lean on.

I think you should I am doing photos in my wedding dress, then I bought aanother dress for $99 bucks at David's for the actual trash dress session.

It is Trimalusta big day!!!YIPPIE!!! I hope everything was wonderful.

Ladies, Can I just say I am so glad that I found this section of the forum. I knew others have dealt with/or were going through what I am dealing with. I like many of you have said from the beginning knew that by having a DW that many of the people we would be inviting would not be able to attend, but I figured that we could do a little BBQ a couple of weeks after we get back. I am truly OK with someone telling me that they can not come due to cost. But I do a problem when you tell me you can not come, then turn around and make me feel like I am terrible person for wanting to have my wedding somewhere other then then the state we live in. We chose destination mainly for cost and also because we had not gone on vacation in sometime. I was super, super excited about having a DW in Turks and Caicos but after the craziness started ramping up I have lost a little bit of my zing. For us it is my FI family, my FI mood was changing so I knew the family was on his case about something but didn't know what. I was also getting the little hints with comments such as " is this place expensive?" Then last week it finally came out that they would not be coming. Soo like others WE got into it because I was immediately asked with allot of attitude " why did you pick a place so expensive?" and " is it too late to change now?" Now on the defensive I wasn't really sure how to fire back on these allegations with out being super angry and nasty. I told everyone from the get go we would be paying for his mom to come so please do not worry about her cost, but now I feel like there is this extremely weird vibe between them and me. They were originally talking to me about it then switched to just talking to him. I guess I should have said from the beginning every since we moved into our house there has been non-stop comments about what I don't have, this isn't good enough, why don't I do this, you paid too much for that so in some ways I should have expected this from them but is still doesn't make me feel any better and my FI really doesn't stand up to them either. I am at the stage now where I do not want to even do the BBQ afterward, I am just so angry more with myself that I have allowed them to make me feel so bad to the point where I was starting to think maybe I should see if I could move it to a different location.

I love it ! I love it! I run this hen house. I wish I had the guts to say that t my FI family.

Thank you for those kind words that makes me feel better. I (well actually both of us) was starting to feel bad for picking the destination we did.

Wow $300 for the sprinkled petal isle, then another $300 (if you get the 6) to give petals to guest...that is steep.

Thank you for putting the arch cost out that is wonderful. Has anyone inquired about the flip flop station?

That is great to hear that you will be able to add on certain things. I have decided to just do the BB, and hopefully add the arch that is with the island paradise theme on the beach.

Hi Ladies, There is always something for folks to complain about when it comes to weddings, but now I am starting to get complaints (especially from FI family) from people about how much it cost to come to the resort. Has anyone else dealt with this or dealing with this now?

Lauren Marie Your bouquet is gorgeous. If you don't mind me asking who did you order your bouquet from?

Umm that is pretty pricey....this just further pushes me in the direction of the real touch flowers. Thank you for the information.

I love your invites. I just bought the template but now I am having hard time getting my text on the background, which program did you do the invites in? Please help, I feel so lost right now. Thank you

I love your colors.

Can anyone suggest a good BD photographer in the MD,DC, or northern VA area? I am thinking of doing these photos as a pre-wedding gift for my FI.

This is great I was also looking for some creative RSVP wording, you ladies have given me alot of ideas. Thanks

Your Flip Flop luggage tag is simply awesome. I love flip flops, wish I would have seen this idea before I finished my luggage tag save the dates.

These are extremely neat, the fabric flowers are awesome.

I love the information page that you included about passports.

These are awesome.
