Congrats! Sorry to jump in your thread, just curious if you cushioned your maracas when you packed them? I have 45 to bring! Thanks Can't wait to see your pics, sounds like a fabulous day!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good for you for standing up for yourself. I can't believe she thinks it'd be ok for your family not to be there - oh my :/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Happy wedding day!!! Can't wait to hear about it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It flies by. I remember posting on FB in July that 7 months seemed so far away and now I'm just over a month!! It'll be here before you know it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

40 days until we leave!!!!

Sounds good to me!! I think giving examples is helpful!!!

I'm 6 weeks although it doesn't Seem that far away. We will have 3 possibly 4 suitcases of wedding stuff. Eek. But we will get it there. Can't wait to hear All about it. You should do a planning Thread Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just don't understand How you are being disrespectful to his parents by not marrying in their own town. Sigh. I'm sorry you guys are going thru this as well Weddings seem to be about everyone else but the bride and groom so it's great that collectively we stand up for ourselves and what we want. Hugs.

I'm not even sure I know where the 'party favor' section is, but I will walk down every isle if I have too LOL!!! I noticed Dollarama was selling more and more glow items at decent costs. I found an awesome price online for the necklaces but just not sure i have the luggage room!

Jenny, HUGS!!! I know what you are going thru, or moreso my fiance does. When we announced our wedding would be in Mexico he got A LOT of push back from his father and step mother - everything from 'why can't you get married in Ontario so I can visit my family?' to 'what if I don't want to go to Mexico?' 'what if I don't want to take a week off?', etc. It would bring Shawn to tears and I felt so horrible for him. In the end his dad and step mother paid their deposit and are coming. His dad seems super excited now, but his step mother still makes odd comments about the cost of the trip and such. All I can offer is support. I think it is worth having a talk with both of them. I think if you have a heart to heart with them and offer to help out where you can (as you did), then you have done all you can do. It's a crappy situation, it's hurtful, and it makes no sense but it's something that happens with DW's as I have learned from being on this board. The day is about you and him -- you will have a special day no matter what. They will look back and feel so much regret for their silly decision. That's on THEM not on YOU!!!! I also agree with another poster from the other thread - don't let this cause any tension, or drama, or issues for your future. Please don't put any more into it than needs to be there. I see your point 100% but this isn't their way of saying they don't want you in their family, etc. It's just an unfortunate situation that seems to happy a lot with DW. You need to try to move past this .... both you and your fiance, and his parents as well. I do hope they come around. Please keep us posted.

I will go on a search. I live in the north but I'm sure stuff is the same. I swear Ive walked those isles 1 million times missed them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hmmm what section? I got the tubes of glow bracelets but would love more than bracelets. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Where did you get the variety box? I plan to have them in a container (vase in my case) with a sign on them. I already have maracas on their plates. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm January 21 but at a different resort in the Mayan. Also finishing things up! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I went dress shopping with no loved ones just my closest friends who lived where I do. It was still a very special day and I wouldn't change a thing. Unfortunately my mom passed away over 10 years ago and I knew my sisters wouldn't be able to come. Hugs I know it's tough but if you can't make it work with people back home you will still have a special day with your friend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I lost my eye lashes when I was using waterproof mascara. Pulled them out struggling to remove the mascara. I had to use thick eye liner to give the effect of eye lashes. Hated it. Since I've been using non waterproof I've been fine. Sorry that was totally unrelated haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I almost cut my train off!!! Sooo happy I didn't. I knew nothing about bustles. The lady I went to for alterations recommended it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesome! Mine is ivory but I find it hard to tell the difference lol I tried a lot on but I knew when I put it on, it was exactly what I envisioned for my destination wedding Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree, it's ridiculous. They took pay pal but he told me that wouldn't even work. I never thought of the gift card -- good idea although it shouldn't be necessary!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The ones I loved were from Aldo. Canadian store was out and USA store wouldn't ship to a USA address for me because of a Canadian credit card... Sigh! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesome!!! Love most of your dancing on the bar songs I'm definitely a pop / hip hop fan! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

hahah actually Cuba's jeans weren't bad but pricey..... he had to buy these really ugly black straight legged silky looking things.. horrendous.

True story.... we were leaving to Cuba and Shawn comes downstairs in jeans... I was like 'who wears jeans to Cuba?' It's minus 30 and I have shorts on ..... So he goes upstairs and changes. Oops, my bad. Who knew you had to wear long pants in ala cartes? I am a female and only traveled with women so never paid attention. We had to run into Varadero and go shopping for pants.. man they were ugly but they did the trick. I know better now! Edit: Cuba allowed jeans though.. I'd much prefer a man in a nice pair of dress shorts than a pair of jeans, but rules are rules I guess lol He has some khakis for Mexico.

I hear you on the punches. I bought one to use 4x total, yes 4x. Now I am sitting around wondering when the heck I can use it again - Christmas tags, birthday gift bags, etc. I may be insane, it's true!

AWESOME!!! I can't believe we have the same dress. There is another girl on here that has the same dress too! I love it so much Great minds do think alike.... did you get ivory or white?
