Funny stories. I was complaining all day so I'm quite surprised he still asked lol I'm a sucker for surprises but I don't like when things are cliche. My friend is proposing to his gf after our wedding (it's their 5 yr anniversary) and i told him not to do it on the actual date (she may suspect it) but to do it right before they leave the resort (as a suggestion).

This is definitely the time where you two need to be selfish. In the grand scheme of things it's your day and as long as you both are there that's what matters. In my situation only my mom and her husband are attending and my FIs' mom, dad, brother and god sister are attending. I feel horrendous because my aunt can not afford it and my brothers in jail. So needless to say I have no time to stress about guest attendance.

Dislike Watching wedding shows on tv?

Tough situation. I think you shouldn't invite them (despite courtsey). I personally would feel weird if someone didn't invite me to their wedding but yet I get invited to a shower. I feel the guest you invite to the wedding are the ones that should participate in the wedding party waves (bachlorette, bridal).

Definitely. Our 5 yr old daughter is so excited about being a flower girl. This is her first time on a plane and on a big vacation. We could not picture celebrating without her.

Tough situation. My MOH found out she was pregnant 10 mos before the wedding and she is unable to attend. We are still awaiting 4 ppl from our BP to book (deadlines in Aug). At this point in time I've been disappointed by so many guest making excuses that I can cut anyone out. I can't stress over who will be there as long as he meets me at the alter. I had to replace my MOH and my friend who is taking her spot was suppose to undergo invitro treatment but she has put it on hold until after the wedding. My advice: I think just telling him to let you know if he will be in attendance because it's unfair for you and your FI to wait on his decision. I'm all about deadlines.

We are having the two best men standing with the groom up front. My MOH will walk alone followed by our daughter (the flower girl). The other 3 BMs will walk with a GM. My mom is walking me down the aisle. Once all is said and done (recessional) both best men will walk with my MOH.

My bouquet and his boutonnière are included in our package. My friend is making my BMs bouquets with fake flowers and my centerpiece will not have flowers. I think it's silly for me to pay the extra expense especially since the BMs can not bring real flowers home.

Definitely do not think you can carry fresh flowers into another country. I am doing fake flowers and packing them in my check in bag.

Great idea. I am not planning to have an "unplugged wedding" but we are asking that no pictures of the wedding day be posted until after the wedding.

I think it's an awesome idea. Great way to honor the men in your lives.

Here they go. We went with post cards as save the dates and passports as the actual invite. Hey , next to the post button there is a "more reply option". You can attach a file there.

Yahhhh I did passport invites as well except the RSVP cards were boarding passes. Despite the expense everyone loved them.

Crazy story but when I first went shopping my budget was $300 but I fell in love with a $1100 dress so the dress won.

OMG similar thing we went through. We went on vacation in October 2013 and I said we need to just do it (get married). We've been engaged since 06/10 and it's just about time. We had 12 mos but nothing we couldn't do in 7mos. Just write down everything you would like and realistically match that to your budget. It'll be awesome and DWs are suppose to be easier.

I think video is so important.. You get to see everyone's reactions and emotions.

I doubled our invitations in a big white envelope.

I took my mom, aunt, MOH and future MIL. I was grateful that they were so hopeful (maybe too helpful they loved me in everything). They also all cried once I tried THE one on. It was an emotional and exciting moment, one that should be shared with special ppl.

Awesome rings. Here goes mine

Most are only for 20 ppl.. I think the mentality is destination weddings are for smaller amounts of ppl.. I do have an issue with paying extra for drinking when we are at an all inclusive.. Smh

Just spent the weekend with some exciting people. My BMs planned an awesome bachelorette weekend in Atlantic city (it's an early celebration because my MOH is pregnant). So many people came out to celebrate and it made me so happy. They booked a room, we went to the beach bar, dinner plans were amazing and I especially enjoyed the karaoke lounge. It was a night to remember and exactly what I imagined (although they kept telling me there was going to be strippers, thank goodness there were none lol)! Has anyone had a great bachelorette party? What was/ is your worst fear? And what were the plans?

Definitely a stressful situation. My FI is paying our entire wedding by hisself (I was fired 4 mos ago). We have not asked help in any way. We just rearranged our budget and have had to cut things out. It's difficult but you have to evaluate what is important and what is not.

The Wow factor will be my dress (I am a plain jane and went all out) lol we will have a steel band playing during cocktail hour. Our music choices and Chinese flying lanterns.

So funny. My FI loves watches too. He brought the GMs watches and himself one as well lol. I am planning on taking a wooden box and getting him a label for his socks (cold feet), jamaican rum (for before the wedding) and a love note.

I would love to see pictures as well I'm 81 days away.
