@@ASmooth I went to shutterfly and made a photo collage of me and each bridesmaid and got an 8x10 poster printed up of a collage of us and the words will you be my bridesmaid. I only used 3 pictures and I did it in their fav colors and got a really pretty picture frame and mailed. My sis in law and best friend loved it!!

I love these! I am so getting them for my bridesmaids!!

@@kcole123 I am so sorry this is happening! Maybe the new travel agent will be a blessing in diguise!

I was wondering the same thing. I'm going to do only an hour and at first I thought it seemed to short. I guess if everyone still wants to hang out we can all go have dinner together.

I love this idea!!

I have been debating this...I love my hair down and so does my FI...Whenvever we are going out or doing anything nice I always wear my hair down so I can't imagine it being up for my wedding. My hair holds curls pretty well..Its down to my shoulders and super thick so I'm worried about humidity because it will poof up..so i'm thinking about getting extensions and just wearing it curly and to the side..

I love these earrings!!

@@ModeRNBride sooo in love with your dress!

Love this dress!! I think it will be beautiful on the beach.. I'm having the same dilemma! I don't have a clue what my groom is going to wear!! He doesn't care so I am the one trying to figure it out!

I say long!! I think long dresses look so pretty on the beach and if the wind blows a little hard they don't have to worry about it flying up!

I live with my fiance but we are not going to sleep together the night before the wedding...We actually plan on not sleeping together two nights before!! I'm having an all girls night with my MOH and sister and sister in laws! I'm so excited about this because I get to have girls night mixed with a wedding and then a whole week of time alone with just me and my new husband. I think whatever is comfortable for the couple is what should be done! Plus I know the anticipation of seeing me will kill him if we dont' see each other until we get married!! Which will make me sooo happy lol! I'm all about the grand entrance!

I would try to get your fiance to talk to her and I would MOVE MY DRESS!! That would make me so mad! Maybe you can tell her that people are welcome to come to cancun but as far as wedding events you didn't want to have to pay for more people to come because they aren't free!

@stefadile@BusyBee280 I can't really sit down with her because I live in Georgia and She lives in Northern Va. I think maybe I expect so much of her because my best friend is so excited and is constantly sending me ideas and asking me questions and trying to help. Even when it came to picking the resort my cousin gave me ideas but she will always say if you pick a resort to expensive you can facetime me on the day of the wedding. I know shes joking but when I have someone who is so supportive its hard to have this other person who isnt. I don't even really expect her to do anything I just want her enthusiasm or her to at least acknowledge that something is going on. I dont' know if its me being a baby and spoiled about it but I would love for her to at least question how things are going.

Great info! So true about the wedding coordinators.

I'm having the same issue! I asked my cousin basically the moment after I got engaged and she said yes....Well since then my sister in law and my best friend have really stepped up. My cousin isn't even staying at the same resort that everyone else is so she isn't really going to be able to help. All she has really done is complain to me and she doesnt' even live in the same state so she really hasn't been any help (even though my sis in law lives almost across the country and she always has input or ideas). I don't want her to even really be apart of the bridal party anymore but I don't know how to unask ( I would love it to just be my best friend and my sis in law but I don't really think there is a way around it...

So far we have invited around 88 people. I will be more than happy if 20 of those people show up! Actually I might freak out a little if its more than 20 because I have been very realistic since the beginning of this because we got so much push back from our families. In my head I've sort of been planning for 15-20 people!

I hadn't even thought of doing a welcome dinner. Are people doing them private or just at a resturant on the resort?

We are getting married the tuesday morning before we leave to head to Mexico. I couldn't imagine waiting 3 or 4 months to technically be considered married!! Or possibly longer I have heard some horror stories too!! We are only telling 2 people and thats only because we have to! We have to have witnesses at our court house!

We are getting married in the states first. Its so much easier and cheaper! We are inviting our 2 best friends to be our witnesses because they are required. We aren't telling anyone about it because they give you a certificate to sign so no one will know that we aren't legally getting married in cancun. We are also using the cancun date as our offical wedding anniversary. My brother went into the marines and him and his wife got married before their actual wedding so she could go with him to his first duty station in japan and a lot of people gave them a hard time about their wedding not being real which made me so angry!! But people will give you a hard time!

I love lace!!

My fiance is very very determined that I am taking his last name. I am mixed with native american and german so I have very strong ties to both of my cultures. I don't think changing my last name will distance me from my culture at all. I will teach my children about it and I do have a brother so they will know from spending time with him and his wife and children. However I do love the way my name sounds just because its been with me for 26 years, I was thinking of just having two middle names now instead of just one because I love my middle name to much to replace it!

I say go for it! Play the music and have your dance!! That is so romantic and you'll have that memory forever and on camera!

Off with deet will be the best bet! I'm from the south and mosquitos are fierce here! The best thing is off with deet hands down!

@@MrsRoy Thats the date that we chose!! Where is your wedding going to be?

How did the wedding go?
