Is anyone skipping the wedding band? I like my ring on it's own and would have to have a band custom made if I am going to get one.... Just thinking maybe it's an expense not needed? Or maybe a more basic one for a right hand ring? What do you guys think?

This is why I'm hoping for extra TLC. I know it seems super weird to us, but all that is really happening is a change in management. It happens ALL the time in the resort world. The girl I spoke with on the Dreams 800 number was like it the 10th one we've gone through. My TA said the same. I know they seem to be planning an extensive remodel since the word is a 6 -7 month closure it planned. But my guess is they will make it as seamless of a transition on everyone including employees. Probably will accomodate some employees at other properties for a period of time. Ultimately the new owner will still want everyone to be repeat customers.

Would love to know if you get any extra deals! I'm hoping to get to use some extra stuff for the reception. Still waiting for Claudia to respond to my email though!

All this freaked me out, but I spoke with my TA and email Cecilia as well as contacting Dreams 800 number. All sources say that everything is ok. I'm actually hoping to maybe get some more upgrades and stuff bc the resort will maybe have a little more lax attitude about freebies!

I called my TA immediately after seeing that post. She said they may be changing management after April. She does not think my April wedding will be impacted at all. She mentioned that resorts change management frequently and most likely it will be a smooth transition. Unless they are gonna tear it down to rebuild I can't imagine it will be closed very long.

I'm going to bring programs and prob menus, guest book, table numbers and I think that's it. Part of the appeal of the DW is they cover it all! I'm soooooo glad I'm not researching caterers, florists, cake, etc. We've just been so busy with the house! I'm about to make my invites. Doing passport ones. My friend is super crafty and is helping with the design then I'm gonna do a DIY party in two weeks to assemble.

My step son will be the "Best Man" and my sis is my MOH. Buuutttt she is preggo, so now can't attend the wedding! :'( So we need a modified role for step son because they were the only two in our wedding party! PS this was post 150!!! Yay!

Mmm found this right at the right time of the year! Thanks

Hmmm Interesting thread

We are only like 8 months apart! He's older!

Cool thanks!

Six away!

We just bought a home. Moved in about two months ago. Luckily, we mostly need interior decorating rather than tons of remodel. We'll add smaller remodel projects later on as we are getting fully furnished. This house is just MUCH bigger than we have ever lived before. Our wedding is less than six months away! It's so hard to focus on wedding planning with the house staring us in the face! Lol

Mmmmm, sounds yummy!

Great idea! My sis is preggo too. Maybe I'll do for her!

OMG! I'm doing both at the same time!! Argh!

Will try this for sure! Thanks!

Wow! I hope some of these things are still available!

Beautiful! I love how much you can see the sides of the diamond. That's one of my fave parts about mine too. Quote: Originally Posted by Nettie0804 Just recently got engaged. Head overheels in love with my engagement ring. Cannot wait to add my wedding band

Hi Ladies! Does anyone want a "motivation buddy"?? My wedding is 4/12/14. I want to lose 20-25 lbs. I'm not super overweight, but def NOT happy with my body currently. I also want to significantly improve my muscle tone. And really I DO want to create a healthy lifestyle. I always imagine myself to be very healthy with a great diet and a workout regimen, but I struggle to implement. My FI does not really help bc he wants to eat out ALL the time and we have a cpl drinks pretty often during the week too. But he goes to the gym all the time and is super fit already. It always seems that there is something coming up. Birthday, halloween, our anniversary, etc. I would LOVE to connect with soemone to help keep me accountable. I want to work out 3-4 times a week at Orange Theory Fitness and dedicate a minimum of 15 minutes per day to exercise. also to make some type of meal plan and stick to it. Would anyone be interested in partnering up on something like a daily check in or swapping food or workouts of the day or even just daily motivation? I'm thinking we could connect via Kik or some messaging app like that. Please message me if you are interested. I"m freaking out a bit bc I recenlty PUT ON 5 lbs!!!

Oooh, thanks for the info! I'm totally addicted to BDW and Pinterest as my main sources of inspritaion

I just started Orange theory Fitness. To be honest, I hate it! But I really want to lose 25-30 lbs. Once I'm down quite a bit, I'll switch back to hot yoga. Ugh! I need to get on a good diet plan bc I want to ACCELERATE the results. My wedding sistill almost 6 months away,but I always feel like "oh, this one time won't hurt". But "this one time" is like EVERY OTHER DAY !!Lol

Awesome! Quote: Originally Posted by MrsTobeD Haha! I printed my entire passport invitations at work... Saved $200

Arggh!! I want to see these templates! But I still don't have enough posts!

Congrats on getting your dress! So exciting! Mine is in already. I have my first fitting in December. I REALLy need to get on track with diet/work out. But I"m so lazy! Ugh! What are you trading the cocktail hour for? Who is your coordinator? Have you been in touch with her much? I finally emailed Cecilia a week ago, but Havent' heard back....

But I was just wondering what are all your future husbands wearing? Mines not quite sure.... And is everybody trading the cocktail hour?
