    slstriednig and FutureMrsSingh - Welcome! This site really is my favourite for wedding planning, everyone here is so super friendly. I'm not sure if it's because DW brides are more relaxed, but whatever it is, it's awesome! So girls, I picked up my dress today and I'm going to post a lot of photos because I haven't been able to share it with anyone yet and I'm too darned excited! This is with the lace overlay that I'll wear for the ceremony with this belt and my veil. I kind of want to wear it for the first part of the reception, so I can get pictures with people in it, but haven't decided yet.

    Oh my goodness, that is so exciting! I hope everything is as you hope it to be and more. Have the very very best day!

    Nellie - thanks for the recap, it was really helpful. Looks like your wedding was everything you wanted it to be! I will also be one of the people with zebra arms, lol. But we really want to get married on the beach, so I'm cool with that. Jessica - good to know about all the shows they have, I had no idea. I think we'll probably end up doing what you did and go to the performing ones but maybe not the cover band ones. Anyone go to the MJ or Beatles one - thoughts? Trisha - I plan to take our wedding rings down as well. I'm not taking my engagement ring off and I'll just bring ring cleaning solution with me. I have thought about getting a 'dummy ring' for the future for vacations though.

    I'm giving up as well. *cue sad music* Wah wah wahhhh... I'm going to find some online too. I'm glad yours have worked out. What colours did you end up getting?
  8. TealMarie
    Oh no, that's too bad! I didn't know some resorts did that. The alternative that we had considered was taking 'first look' photos before the wedding ceremony so that we had good light, so maybe that would work for you?

    Thanks for all of your encouragement ladies. I can't wait to see pics of everyone in their altered dresses! Kirab22 - my timeline for the day is: 2pm ceremony, 5pm cocktail hour and 6pm dinner. At first we had the ceremony at 4pm but moved it to 2pm on the advise of our photographer because the sun sets at 5pm in November. Hope that helps!

    ERMAHGERD! I just a call that my dress is in! Holy crap holy crap holy crap. I've been so nervous that I might not like it anymore and wishing that I could try it on again and then Poof! Wish granted. Hopefully it's everything I hope it is!

    I assumed it was an iphone/ipad/techno error, but bride brain works too We've definitely all been there and apparently it only gets worse! Oy vey.

    That's a good point! I was planning to get one before we leave, but our wedding is also 5 days after we arrive. If they don't have it there I may have to research the best tanning lotion. Eeep! Let me know if you find out about it.

    'What I would and wouldn't do again?' That is a really great thread. I have to read through the whole thing and take notes. Yay for your 6 month mark!

    Dina - I will definitely post our playlist here, cheesy 90s music and all Mayralina - Congrats! 50 guests booked? That's amazing, you will have the best time!

    It does seem like SO long to me. Everyone keeps saying "Oh your engagement will fly by!" I haven't really felt that way but maybe it's because as destination brides we don't have as many things to tick off our to-do lists. I'm guessing other brides feel overwhelmed with meeting with different caterers, venues, florists, going to tastings, bridal shows, etc. So I guess in the end I should be happy (once again) that we chose a DW! I'm still trying to stop procrastinating on making the dance playlist. Maybe this weekend?...or maybe I'll go play outside in the sunshine instead, lol.

    FH is planning on wearing a suit, while the groomsmen will be in dress pants and white shirts, so he's the only one really at risk of heat stroke. We're getting married in November and I was hoping it wouldn't be as crazy hot during the day as it is in the summer down there. So happy to hear that your husband wasn't overheated in his suit
  17. TealMarie
    Good for you. It sounds like you have the right attitude about it! Also ladies, yesterday was our 6 month mark before the wedding day! Ok, I will stop counting down now

    Awww really? Why wouldn't she come if you're paying? Is it a problem getting time off work for her? We're paying for my MIL and she is over the moon excited. Your MIL will probably change her mind as it gets closer to the date and she gets more excited. Thanks for reminding me girls. We leave in 6 months today - woot! I have taken a break from wedding planning to focus on work related stuff, so nothing new to report....other than a very full pinterest board, lol.

    It doesn't sound like he put any effort in at all! We have hired an outside photographer. I'm not sure if we're doing a rehearsal dinner so we may not end up using the free 25 at all. It sounds like a waste of time in the end. Good advice for future brides though.

    Your pictures are nice - because your guests are beautiful, but I can see what you mean. They're nice photos but in terms of paying a professional to take them, I think most people would be disappointed. That yellow sign would bother me too. They don't look any different than what someone else's photos from a party would look like if they had a Canon D50 or something like it. Perhaps they don't put in the effort for the people who use the 24 photos included in the package? But, that doesn't seem like good business sense, because then no one will spread the word that they're good photographers and recommend people use them for their wedding. Hmmm, well good thing you didn't have to pay for them I guess. On a positive note - the resort looks beautiful and so do your guests!

    Don't say sorry! All of this info you're giving to us is awesome, this is what we've been hoping for (someone who had their wedding would come back and help us out). It's really good to know about the videographer and on site photographer. No sense getting our hopes up for an edited video of the whole days events. Have you already seen the pictures the hotel photographer took of your cocktail hour? Were they any good? Good to know about the tumblers for drinks. I'm still going back and forth on whether to get some, so it's good to hear people used them and found them useful (ie: they were bigger than the resort cups). Anyways, if there's anything else you can think of, don't hesitate to throw it on here. You've been such a big help, thanks!

    Wow! You're stunning!

    Hi Stella, Woot! That's great news about the entrees, thanks! We only have 22 guests, so it won't be hard getting people's orders beforehand. I have too many Ooohs and Aaahs over your photos (your photographer is amazing). Everything looked so lovely. You looked beautiful. I love your dress and your bouquet (yay succulents!). You just look so happy. Your hair and makeup look awesome and I see you had your hair down which is what I want to do, so I'm glad to see it worked out for you. And it looks like you had one big long table for the reception - fun! We're thinking of doing that. Thanks for sharing your photos!

    Your wedding party looks awesome! Especially you two, you look beautiful! I love that he's the only one with the tie and the colour of the tie pops. Great job and good to hear Studio Suits worked out, as we're considering it for the groomsmen.

    Good to know. 2 minutes sounded long but I thought maybe it was a long hike. I'm going to look into wedding DJ, thanks for that. Your wedding looks like it was awesome! Thanks for the review, photos and all the specifics, it helps so much. It sounds like there's not much to worry about! I thought we could only choose one main entree for the meal. I really want to offer two choices. Did you have to pay extra for that?
