Thats a BEAUTIFUL dreass!

That dress is GORGEOUS...i too cant wait to see it on!

OMG this is all so lovely! Congratulations!!! Yu really look beautiful!

my fiancee really has his eyes on a watchh, so for his gift I am getting him the watch and engraving "til the end of time" with our wedding date on it!

I love this thread, prayerfully I can be more organized than I normaly am...I feel like I am going to be running around like a chicken with her head cut off and forget something and not realize it until we get there ...sad...but its SOOOO me!

Thise are GREAT!!! I am looking into getting flowers for my girls as well....thankfully I have a small bridal party....just three girls and a junior bridesmaid

Thats GREAT news, he is booked for our wedding and I couldnt be happier and/or more excited to have him be our officiaint!

Thanks for the great info Lisa! I love this thread and take everything to heart, I see most people regret stressing over people coming/not coming....im learning slowly that the people who come...will be people who WANT to be there and want to help us celebrate our day. Now we wont have anywhere NEAR 80 ppl....but we know the people who matter will be there

I can email it to you...whats your email?

Awww! Such a lovely photo! Thats a great dress!

This is a great thread and VERY helpful! Thanks all!

I would prefer a zippered back and just have it altered to fit me right....thats one less thing to fight with while getting ready...

Okay, here is my planning process update: - Resort and wedding date book: We will be getting Married February 14th 2012 at the Majestic Elegance in Punta Cana at the Gazebo at 11AM - Reception Booked: We will be having our reception on the wedding boat "La Barcaza" we will be having the Mixed grill (Seafood and Steak) with the Premium Bar -Photographer Booked: We will be using HDC photography for the wedding day and Im "tentatively" switching our Trash the Dress session with Arrecife if they can do an underwater shoot -Save the Dates Sent out -Passport invitations in the mail hopefully by Monday! We are 75% done with being done with all 50! I just have to make the Pocketfolfds, assemble, address and mail them! -OOT bags are a work in progress, trying to make sure the guys have products in their for their use as well as the women....hey I figure I still have until February to apply the finishing touches (just another one of my great procrastination excuses) LOL! So much to do....so little time!!! Oh yeah...and i still havent even GONE dress shopping let alone consulted my bridesmaids about their dresses

That dress looks GREAT on you! And of course it will probably look even BETTER the next time you see it!!! Glad you found the dress that gave you that feeling!

Not sure if things have changed, but I went to MoBay about 2 years ago, and they have you fill out a customs form on the plane and I BELIEVE they take it before you deplane. Then you walk through the airport to have you go through to get your passport stamped, they will ask you a few questions about your stay and then you are on your way. You pick up your luggage at Baggage claim the same as you would in the US. Hope this helps...

I got one of ebay, it came with 3 different DVDs, it started from beginner and went to advanced...it seems easy...but yoga will have you sweating and out of breath! LOL! Especially power yoga!

That dress sooo beautiful cdunn514!

Morning February Brides! Any new news to report from anyone???? How was your birthday Tori??? Still planning away on this end...Im trying to finish all my invitations and put them in the mail this week...we will see how that goes....I keep procrastinating cause in my mind they have the Save the Date along with my weekly email updates.....but hey...I started them and they are so nice...I just want everyone else to appreciate my hard work!!! LOL!

If you find a good Travel Agent they can help negotiate costs down. I used a Travel agent for our resort but priced the flights on my own...it was MUCH cheaper that way! American Airlines has group/travel fare, that's the route we took. They took a deposit for the group and they have until 30 days before departure to pay for the flight in full! They even gave us a wedding discount of 5% off published fares so people who couldnt commit can still buy there tickets at a discounted price! We are getting married at the Majestic Elegance Punta Cana...great reviews and at a grear price for an all inclusive!!!

Sharon99 and (everyone else), I did P90x and it was so slow I just couldnt do it. Another option is to do a Power Yoga DVD and do that instead of the one supplied by P90x. I LOVE yoga...but that DVD was just HORRIBLE! Maybe even a Pilates DVD!

Thanks PassionSarcasm! I STILL look down at it and admire it....its just a constant reminder of the love he has for me and the realization that he chose me!!! I got it back on Friday and it feels like the day he proposed ALL over again...I just want to show it off and have everyone look at it....some more! LOL!

I LOVE how intricate and detailed it all is!!!! All I can say is WOW!!! Im sure EVERYONE loved them...congratulations on such an amazing vision translated so eloquently!

70k?!?!?!?! That could be used on a downpayment on a house!!! I am soooo opposed to high dollar weddings. The main reason I wanted something small is because the main cause of divorce and unhappiness in marriages is finances...why start off a union IN debt. My fiancee and I are paying for everything ourselves out of pocket...no credit...i just can't see $70k.... ....it's not about the wedding....its about the marriage

Absolutely gorgeous! Perfect for your wedding day!!!
