  1. Ahh this has totally been one of the hardest things for us to decide. some of the songs that we have been contemplating so far (but have no idea where yet) are.... Your Song - elton john harvest moon - neil young crazy love - van morrison whistle for the choir - the fratellis offering - the avett brothers forever young - either bob dylan or the band version (this would obviously be father/daughter mother/son dance) thousand years - christina perri ( i hate twilight but love this song so its been a love/hate relationship lol ) unchained melody - probably willie nelson version indian summer - the doors
  2. Oh and just because you are no longer a destination bride you still must come here and show us pics of your dream wedding!!!!!
  3. Oh my gosh!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!! That is so amazing how lucky!!!! Does that mean your wedding is going to be put off for a bit and you are no longer a may bride???? I'm sure your guests are crazy happy for you but how does that work with the resort? Does everyone lose their deposits or are guests still planning on going just for a vacation?
  4. Omg Katy it's blowing my mind lol my fiancés ring is from etsy seller jewellerybyjohan Similar to this but with olive wood and kauri wood. Your the only other person I've seen with a wooden ring!
  5. Does anyone have tips for running? When I run on a treadmill I start to get pain in my left knee
  6. Omg you ladies are too funny!!!!! Jenny I know you will definately get it back!!!! Besides the poop it's probably just all water retention cause of AF. I finally made it back to the gym, I've been saying for weeks now that I was gonna go but in reality I never made it lol but today it's OFFICIAL!!!!
  7. I got plain canvas totes from ingreetings.com shipping was $18 I think but with the low cost of the totes they still ended up being about $2.25 each. I got travel Advil from dollarama for $2 a tube that has 10tabs. Alot of my stuff actually came from dollarama. I also got a shipment of la fresh items like makeup remover wipes, but repellant wipes, facial cleanser wipes from haute look. Each box comes with about 48 wipes and were $10 each (50% off) shipping was I think $10 or $15 and no duty. Have you tried looking at dollarama or dollar tree for travel mugs? I've seen them for I think $1.50 each, not personalized of course but you could get the waterproof vinyl stickers and DIY labels
  8. I'm in the same boat as well. I'm two months out and the money factor is really starting to get be stressed. Me and my fiancé also don't make crazy amounts of money, we do make more than we need at the moment but once kids and a house come I know we will be living pay cheque to pay cheque. We have cut back on ALOT in our daily lives for the past year and somehow managed to save quite a big of money but I'm still terrified to spend it and keeping charging things to my credit card until i know what our final costs are. As for the wedding costs we did splurge on photography is this is the most important thing for us and so we are flying someone with us. But we are cutting out a DJ and just using our iPod. We also cut out flowers for the ceremony, so no arch or anything. I have DIY'd my heart out and if I find anything on etsy or in stores I like I try to figure out how to make it first. I'm bringing down the majority of my centrepieces including lanterns, ikea has a 45 day return policy so assuming they make the trip ok I might be returning them after (does this make me a bad person? What else am I gonna do with 5 lanterns lol unless the florist buys them off of me). I'm sure you will be fine. You still have a long way to go and lots of time to save. I would sit down and also look over all your bills and credit crd and bank statements and really itemize where you spend money and where you can cut back like date nights, if you have full cable or satellite look at cutting some channels out to save money, do the same with cell phones. Come summer maybe hold a garage sale and clear out some stuff you never use anymore! There's lots of ways to get creative. Instead of picking up a second job as it is tiring there's other ways of making some extra cash, if you know anyone with small kids my offer to babysit? Anyways I'm dragging on I'm sorry!
  9. Usually for curving the words there's the word art function in Microsoft programs. That's how I did it.
  10. I find Microsoft publisher is the best program. I've designed everything in it...... And I've designed alot lol.
  11. Aw thanks Tova!!!! These were actually extremely cheap and easy to make any one could do it. Overall I think it only cost me like $8-10 to make all 4 which would probably cost me almost $100 to buy. They do take some time but really it's just alot of cutting.
  12. I should really sit Down And do a timeline and put deadlines for everything. I have a problem asking people for help, I feel with so little people attending the wedding (32) i just want everything to be a surprise for everyone. Not even my mom knows half the things I've been working on. Only the lovely ladies of BDS know all my secrets lol I am however almost finished another DIY project. I was just gonna post all my projects on my planning thread as there are already multiple threads dedicated to most of my projects but I have yet to come across a thread for DIY wedding banners. So ill give my May brides to be a sneak peek of a DIY thread I might post soon. This is actually on reversible banner! Just have to punch the holes and thread my purple ribbon through. I also have a second one that says just married and is reversible as well with the other side saying thank you. The banners pictured are for photo props as well as maybe ill put the love one on the cake table. The just married banner will be for our head table and thank you is a photo prop for our thank you cards we will have printed!
  13. Ahhhh 2 months from today I will be a married woman!!!!!!!!!! Still so much to do! And I feel I have no time! Menus Programs Finish OOT bags Centrepieces and table numbers Finalize flowers Decide and book hair and makeup Music playlists WRITE VOWS!!!!!! Dress alterations and jewellery Guestbook signs Seating chart Cake decorations There's probably more on that list but that's all I can think of right now.
  14. This is all looking so amazing!!! I meet steal a couple or your little poems as they are adorable!! Congrats!!!!
