Sure that's all anyone ever sees on my Facebook, is how many days left to the wedding. I am sure most people have me blocked from their newsfeed by now..hahaha I also have the countdown app. I have one for when we leave, one for the wedding day, one for the countdown to being off work. That's it I think. hahaha So exciting girl. I am down to 29 days till our wedding. I am getting more excited by the minute but I hate to be wishing my time away because it goes by and has gone by so fast.

Nice planning thread, stories and pictures. Love reading these.

Yay another planning thread. Who cares when you start it, we love them regardless haha. Have fun, relax, and enjoy. Can't wait to see your pics and read the rest.

Awesome planning Thea's. And like the other girls, I love that treehouse. Hehe. Keep up the great work and can't wait to see more

OMG you looked stunning and I can't wait to see more pics. I am addicted lately at looking at wedding photos. Congrats again.

Oh I am so glad you started your thread. I loved reading your story too. And yay another Newfoundlander in the planning process. Love it. And yes I miss the ocean also and I am also a big sook and get home sick especially when listening to the Irish Newdoundland show Sunday mornings. Haha I cannot wait to read more of your planning. I am pretty sure we both joined this site at the same time so it's more exciting to see you getting closer to your date.

Hi, Well I will be leaving for Punta Cana a month from today. I can't believe how fast it's going right now. Everything is starting to come together as I have the photographer and the reception paid up in full..whooo whoo. That in itself is a big chunk there. I heard back from the resort also after I sent my paper work and getting things confirmed there. I had a couple more questions for her so I may not hear back until another week. That's the worst about communicating in emails and they are so busy. But at least it seems to be coming together a little more and I feel a little more relaxed now that I heard back from them already. Sooooo exciting.

I will be also using my iphone for music. This is great because I have no idea how any of this works. I too, will be downloading that app. Did you use that too @@calgarybride2015?

@@acw271011 I have thought about that just to save me the trouble but still undecided on it. I just don't know how it would look. Mind you I am not overly picky but I am with certain things. Hmmm???

So girls I figured I would try to cut down on some decorating costs for the boat. I originally had Chinese lanterns hanging from around the boat, table cloths, napkins, and centre pieces ordered from Carribean Celebretions. This quote came to $800 and change. Since I updated I cancelled the Chinese lanterns and the centre pieces. Instead I am using the bouquets and my genius friend came up with the idea that if I have left over tumblers (which I do) to use them to hold the centre pieces and just put some rock in it for weight. Perfect size to what I was needing too. So now all I have to get is rocks. So since cancelling the original quote, my quote is now $181. Not bad hey? Here is a pic of the bouquet in the tumbler (without rocks) and now I have to peel the stickers off four of them because that's the amount of centre pieces needed. Hopefully I won't have trouble with this.

Yay safe travels and hope you have the best day. Don't worry about updating us just post pics when you get back. Enjoy

Oh yay it's here. Hope you enjoy your week and it's the best one yet. Travel safe and cannot wait to see pictures.

Well just sent all my paper work to the resort. ITs tough because I am not having my reception there but wanted to replace the dinner reservation for the wedding night for another night before hand for the welcome dinner. So I was writing notes all over the place on the forms and again in the email. I hope they understand what I am trying to say and request because half the time I don't know what I am trying to say. Anyway wait to hear back I spose.

@@acw271011 Thanks, I love the stackable ring style. Of course I couldn't wait for the first year anniversary band and when Nathan gave me the other ring for Christmas, I thought perfect this would make an awesome stackable ring...lol Yeah I figured it would be nice that people can all share their photos and it don't have to be Facebook. Be nice for other options for people that don't like to share on Facebook. I know a couple of our guests already hate posting anything on Facebook. So at least this is something else so I could see the pics. Sorry my photos ended up turning sideways. I loaded them up the right way. Oh well guess because it as from my phone, it was being stubborn.

Hahaha anyway girls once I get something in my head I want it done like yesterday. So I printed these off this morning. They are so neat. Going to place each one at each place setting on each table. Just so people won't be sharing. Trying to get some things out of the way today. Sending my paperwork to the resort today. Also sending final numbers and requesting to make a payment with the boat today as well. So looks like this is wedding day. Oh @@Meandhim funny you got those little bathing suit bags because that's what I was going to add for each of the bridesmaids and then that's my shopping done for them. I actually seen them at a local drugstore here in their "summer section" and thought they were so cute. Was going to stop in there today to see if they had more come in because they only had 2 there and I needed 3. They said they are getting more in so let's hope that's soon.

Yeah and you can also download the photo scavenger hunt game and print it and also little cards telling the guests what to do with the. I am printing them now...lol @@MissJen3

@@Meandhim Yeah I figured that would be a waste. And I didn't want to spend the money on them either so it's either people use their own cameras or phones or nothing...lol I am hoping people will use it even if it's just 2 or 3 people I would like to have as many pictures as possible. Also doing a game, printing it off and putting it at each of their seats at the dinner, would maybe entice them to take some pics. I am going to print off a game today and have that much done. I think I left this a little too late but I honestly didn't even know about this until I seen that ad on Facebook.

When you create something like this (where people post photos) are you supposed to supply a disposable camera or anything?

Ok girls just signed up for this Wedpics thing. Reason: seen it advertised on Facevook and it was free. Looks like guests can post photos? Not too sure how it works yet. That's where you guys come in. How will I let guests know? Welcome brochure? Mention it at welcome dinner? Would like to do something fun. Like a scavenger hunt game for pics. Got any templates? Or ideas? I this could be a great idea and fun for guests.

Thanks @@Meandhim So took this picture today girls. Figured it was appropriate, lol

YeH @@calgarybride2015 Even though I will feel lost after the wedding with planning and having that to occupy my time. I am going to look forward to getting my spare room back. Nathan thinks I will be sad after the wedding cause I have nothing to plan then. But I am starting in some photography right now and learning it and have bought some equipment and hopefully change that spare room into a little studio once I get going with it. So at least I have that as a hobby after the wedding is over. Right now the wedding has been my hobby for months.

I also took a picture of my spare room/wedding room. may not look like much but the boxes off to the side is filled with tumblers,welcome bags, bags for bridesmaids, cake topper, signing book, and silk robes for bridesmaids. So yeah it's a lot when I am looking at it everyday. Can't wait to start packing this stuff up and have my spare bedroom back.

So this is what I was doing today on my lunch break. Attaching coil key chains onto the plastic key holders. Had to go to the dollar store to buy them because the ones I ordered on Amazon didn't show up. It's been close to two months now and am thinking they won't show up.

I think it looks fantastic. Great job with the colors.

I know ladies. It's sad really. I am hoping to God I don't need alterations on my second dress when it comes in. Of course I heard about a lady two days ago that does alterations in my town. Apparently she is good and cheap. Because the dress though won't arrive until the 20th of March I am hoping it will give her time to do what she has to do. I am going to call her tomorrow and mention my situation and time and see if she can even got me in (that's assuming my dress will need alterations).
