  1. Hashtag in Facebook is new but just in time for our weddings! We asked all our guests to add #reillywedding as a comment when they post pics. Type the hashtag in Search and all pics come up! It's awesome!!
  2. Hi Ladies! Our wedding was wonderful! The weather has been amazing here in the Riviera Maya... we are using #reillywedding on Facebook if you want to check some of the pictures out! Best of luck to the brides getting married in the coming days!! Love, Mrs. Reilly
  3. Great job with the packing! I have all the decor and items spread out on our table so I can visualize.. lol I also fly on the 12th but out of NYC! Can't wait!
  4. Have you ladies chosen the readings for your ceremony? Please share! I found this one.. short and sweet but I haven't decided yet: "Rain fell today and somewhere lotus flowers are blossoming, So are we. Defying the impossible in the shelter and warmth of each other's hearts, extending the night, caressing the stars, And knowing each other's hearts is our human bliss"
  5. I got this link for 50 free wedding fonts for download. Just in time for me to print some stuff.. maybe you guys can also use it.. http://snippetandink.com/best-free-fonts-for-wedding-invitations/
  6. The first weekend of June is here!! Any brides getting married June 1st or 2nd? Best of luck, have fun and post pics!!! Wooo-hoooooo!
  7. I love this song!!! One of my fave John Legend's song.. I think we will stay with Angus and Julia Stone's "Big Jet Plane". It's a sweet song and when I listen to the lyrics and he says "I'm gonna take you for a ride on a big jet place" it makes me believe life with Matt will be an adventure.
  8. Hi Sandark13! How was your wedding? I hope congratulations is in place for you!
  9. Hopefully both of you will finally add the ", CPA" after your names! BTW, I love the Cayman Islands! Stingray Bay is so cool!
  10. Hey Ladies.. we are going through a bit of a dilemma... My travel agent mentioned way back when that if we get married in Mexico we wouldhave to get divorced in Mexico.. crazy to even mention that 4 weeks before our big day but it really stuck with us! We don't even know if that's true.. I wanted to get married in the US and in Mexico - what are you guys doing? A side of me wanted to have a legal wedding in Mexico so I don't feel I am cheating on our guests... a side of me wants to get the proper sacrament in the church.. Can you guys tell me what your plans are? Matt just thinks we should have a symbolic wedding there and then do the real thing here... We can't find a good or bad reason for one or another... xoxoxox
  11. My Fiance is also taking Level 3 on June 1st - which is when I'm having bachelorette party! Best of luck to you! I don't know how you can't even think about the wedding with this huge exam on the horizon! Matt asks me for little projects so I'm not doing everything by myself and I just tell him to focus and pass on the exam!
  12. Hey Everyone, Just back from Eleuthera! It was my MOH's wedding (she's also my MOH). It was beautiful and I learned a few things... 1) They kept the ceremony very short and sweet.. no readings, no programs, no sand ceremony.. it was actually beautiful! 2) All inclusive is key! The wedding was in Eleuthera and guests stayed in apartments. Since most didn't have cars, they had limited access to the supermarket and food was extremely expensive. A case of beer was $45, a gallon of milk as $8! Entrees at the 2 restaurants were also expensive. However, Bride and Groom hosted a cocktail party (Fri) and a rehearsal dinner bonfire (Sat) before the wedding (Sun). Food was awesome! 3) I didn't want Matt to see me before the ceremony but now I will surprise him at the courtyard of the hotel so we can take some pictures before the wedding. It was so wonderful to see the groom's reaction when he saw the bride for the first time! 4) Couple didn't do a rehearsal the day before. There was no need for it because the ceremony was very simple.. we were just told where to go minutes before the ceremony and it was so easy... I'm considering that. 5) My MOH was so calm during the entire weekend.. she just had fun and went with the flow. If something went wrong, we didn't see it.. so I will be packing that same positive attitude with me when I pack my bags to Mexico! Fun Fact - she got married on Mother's day weekend and I'm getting married on Father's day weekend! We must share a brain.. lol
  13. Wow! My dress is not ready and we will have a lot of work to do to make it fit. I know the feeling! I'm glad you have your perfect dress now! It will be beautiful and you will rock your big day!
  14. I found this vendor at Etsy who makes wedding bouquet memorial charms. I will add my grandparent's and Maxi's pictures to the bouquet: http://www.etsy.com/listing/112413866/custom-wedding-charm-photo-memory?ref=sr_gallery_7&ga_search_query=wedding+bouquet+memory+charm&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_ref=auto10&ga_search_type=all
  15. Thank you, thank! I love both ideas.. this picture in my bouquet and to sow a piece of his bandana into Matt's tie. You girls are awesome. Matt is very depressed. Hopefully time will help him heal a little bit before our wedding. Flying next week to Eleuthera, Bahamas for my MOH's wedding.That will be much needed time away from the house which reminds us so much of Maxi. xoxo
  16. I missed this forum over the weekend! My first day at work since last Thursday. Our beloved pet had surgery on Thursday and unfortunately passed yesterday. FI is devastated and so I am. Sunday was my bridal shower and I had a lovely Fiesta-themed party. So much love from my friends... really needed that. My FI asked me if we could have a picture of Maximus at our wedding. Of course, I said!! I have to think of a very special way to honor him.
  17. Hi Ladies... I gave it a shot at Publisher and my table numbers came out cute! I'm over the fear! (I got these little frames at Michaels) My maracas (www.amols.com) came in yesterday (assorted colors) and I decided to use this cute stamp for the escort card (stamp from www.uncommongoods.com) Last project of the day.. I am finally working on the fans/hankies for the ceremony. Ladies will get the fans (www.beau-coup.com) and gents will get the hankies. If they are a couple, they will be wrapped together like in the pic. If not, the individual item will be in their bag with the little tag "bring to the ceremony".
