Anyone flying with Air Transat out of Toronto to Varadero on November 16, 2013? I believe that I am sharing my flight with another bride as their are only few seats left on the flight.

here is the watch labels...just print and fold in half watch labels.docx

He mentioned it and I said I liked the way it sounded better with my name first....then proceeded to say with a smile "if you like, you can do all the prep work and I'll be happy to put your name first" to which he responded...."your name first works for me", lol...he's easy going

To my November sister brides - I just ordered a bunch of stuff off Vistaprint for Free....just paid $10 for shipping to Canada. I got: *250 business cards - didn't personalize them just made it generic for the Key Holders..I'll give 2 per room *100 Post Cards - to give to my guests to send back to Canada 1 T-shirt for moi 25 Magnets for Shutterfly (gonna try and order another 25 tomorrow) 1 Pen for moi 140 Address Labels 1 pk of Sticky Notes for moi Rubber Stamp - Thank You, and our names..I dunno what I'm going to use it for but it was FREE, lol Here is the link: http://www.vistaprint.com/25 Have fun shopping :-)

My FI and I were introduced through a mutual friend. I don't know if it was Love at first sight but it definitely was lust! LOL. Etienne was 30 and has a daughter from his first marriage (4 at the time) and I was 27 and had a son from my first marriage (6 at the time). We moved in together after a short 6 months and two years later on Christmas morning, he proposed to me. We didn't pick a date as we thought it would be best to deal with our "step parenting " issues before the big day. Another two years passed and I really wanted baby...I wanted to experience parenting with a "great father" and I thought it would help us bring our family together. Shortly after our daughter was born, my sister was killed in a car accident and we adopted her 3 kids. We went from 2 kids to 6 kids really fast! We went to counselling to help us deal with all the different dynamics in our family. Needless to say that a 'wedding" was the furtherest thing from our mind while raising sooo many children. We also had to feed the buggers and man could they eat, lol. During our counselling, the counsellor told us to erase all the "grey" from our household and make things "black and white" this would help to avoid arguments with each other as well as with the children. IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM!!!! Definitely helped us create a well balanced life for our family. Over the years, Etienne and I always shared a deep love for one another which was infectous to all our six kids. We often would wake up in the morning and while holding eachother, playfully I would say "one day, I'm going to marry you", to which he responded "whenever you are ready". Last year, 16 years later, and after four of our children where off in College and only 2 remaining at home, we were in the mall and went into the Jewellery store to see about getting a ring that would close off my set and perhaps start planning a wedding (this was still just brief discussions, never in depth). The sales lady said that my rings were beautiful but that "after 16 years and what you've been through, you deserved an upgrade, after all Windows upgrades yearly"...we laughed and he said, "lets do it". So we did...we bought a new engagement ring for me and our wedding bands! (I will have my diamonds from my first set of rings changed into a necklace that I will wear on our wedding day). We came home and told the children and they were beyond excited! We had discussed several times that when we decided to get married, it would be a destination wedding. We knew that our children, now aged 11-25 (the 17 year old, my sisters youngest, is autistic so he was just crazy thrilled) would form our wedding party. We also decided that our colours would be BLACK and WHITE because of the advice we received from our counsellor, it is what saved our relationship and more importantly, our family!!!! So almost 18 years to the date that we met, we will be getting married in Varadero, Cuba. I purchased Etienne a bracelet as a wedding gift...on the back i am having it engraved "Whenever Is Today"...he'll understand.

I love the Hand script....it is so beautiful

I too am over prepared...you can look at some of my threads to see what I have already completed. However, in fairness to myself, I own a cottage resort and marina that operates only during the summer months. So needless to say that between May and September, I won't have much time to do anything relating to our wedding. I'm trying to get as much done as possible now so that I don't panic in October! LOL

Great thread! I have nightmares of forgetting things

That's old school...lol...whatever sounds better is my opinion! I did mine first :-)

I just LOVE this thread! Very helpful ladies...thank you

I LOVE THIS IDEA!!! I actually did this for my sisters as a xmas gift with pictures of our Sister trip to Europe. LOVE it for the wedding too! I was going to ask everyone to send me 5 of their most favoriate pictures of the week then create a CD for everyone as a Thank You! I may just do the photo album instead! :-)

Wow that is fantastic!!! Congratulations

love them! My favioriate is the 3rd one, black and white

That is NUTS! hahaha Congratulations

love it!

You look gorgeous! Bora Bora is definitely on my bucket list! Congratulations!!!

I will definitely post pictures once I received them and assemble them. I haven't thought abuot a tag..they will definitely go in the Organza bags and not sure if in the OOT bags or as a favor, haven't decided yet. Any suggestions for a tag? The cost comes out to $0.16 cents per set of 4....can't beat that price!!!!!

hey ladies, no idea how I missed this discussion! I've been on BDW since November 2012 and never noticed it! I'm getting married on November 20, 2013 at Varadero, Cuba! YIPPPEEEE CAN'T WAIT

Also, at Dollarama, you can also buy the "Self-laminating Sheets" for business cards -$1.00 for 8 and then use Word to make your own tags put inside and laminate, then put a hole.

oops here are the other p ages to my wedding day Program

Finished my Wedding Day Programs and added wash clothes to the list of my OOT bags

Hey ladies, I am going to incorporate some fun into my speech and so I went on Vista Print and ordered some key chains to AWARD to my guests. I'll have 4 days at the resort before the wedding to keep an eye on people and chose my winners. Best Spanish Dancer Award Best Sun Hat Award Married the Longest Award You know the guys are going to get into this! So may as well make an award for it! Most Drunk Award (I hope my FI doesn't win this one, lol) Party Animal Award - The person who has the most fun without having too much alcohol...and finally The Sun Burn Award - the silliest person who thinks "I don't need sunblock, I don't burn", lol cuz you know it's going to happen! Just received the key chains today...pretty awesome!
