    @081114OVCUBA Absolutely is your day!!! Every wedding is unique and should be celebrated that way. Whenever we discuss something about the wedding we both know when it's the right thing to do. A wedding should represent who you are as a couple and symbolize your union. I just realized your wedding is so soon!!! Hope all goes well and Congratulations!

    @LisaAnthonyPoppy have you though of asking someone you know? A friend or family member? We do not want a religious ceremony and both think it would be nice if the officiant adds a personal touch and understands how important this day is to us. We are planning on asking my oldest brother. He is good at speaking in public, and will be officiating for one of his close friends at the end of the month I want to wait after that to ask him. I'm French Canadian and FI is American, I would love to incorporate a few things in French in our ceremony and my brother is perfectly bilingual. As you said and I totally agree, the ceremony is the most important part and the more I think about it I don't want a stranger we will never see again be the one to 'bless' our union. Just a thought.

    @@081114OVCUBA That is a great idea it will be absolutely beautiful!! I want my Dad to walk me down the aisle, because well he's my daddy. But I think what you are doing is wonderful. Would be my second choice for sure, because your guests get to see that initial reaction of you seeing each other. Well done

    We have assembled bouquets and boutonnieres the day before the wedding and they were perfect the day of. All I can suggest is to practice before hand, especially if you have never tried in the past. It may seem easier than it really is.Youtube is your friend you can find a lot of tutorials that may be helpful.

    I think that sounds fine @@VegasBride121314 I wouldn't be insulted either if it was requested by the bride.

    I don't have much advice for you unfortunately except breathe in and out and drink wine! It's good to rant and this is the perfect place to do so. I actually have a friend that went there. It wasn't for a wedding, just an all-inclusive with her husband, but she said she absolutely loved it, and she is on the picky side. Maybe once you get there you will find spots you like for your pictures. Hopefully everything falls into place and you have an amazing day. Good luck and don't forget DRINK WINE!

    It sucks giving 110% to people to have them not even have the courtesy to be there when you need them. It's not even needing them it's simply wanting them to share your happiness. I absolutely get it, going through something similar with family. I guess it's the disappointment that hurts the most, makes you question the entire friendship. Well said @@calgarybride2015 they are the ones that will regret it.

    If I do have a veil I want a long one. Go big or go home! Just for ceremony and some pictures.

    I just finished watching an episode of ‘I found the gown’ on TLC. The bride to be lost her father when she was a child and had always kept a blue polo shirt that belonged to him, with his name written on it. The wonderful seamstress suggested she cut it out in the shape of a heart and sew it inside her dress so it matches her heart, that way her father’s heart would be with her throughout the day. This obviously made me cry… I’m a big baby. But I’d love to find something like that for my FI and even do the same for his siblings and father.

    Mhmm No matter what it is when they know it has something to do with a wedding they jack the price up so much it's ridiculous.

    In our situation our honeymoon will have to wait. It will take about 3 to 5 months after our wedding for me to be allowed to travel outside of the USA and my family will be in Florida for a few days so we will most likely stick around after the wedding day. Once everyone leaves I think we will find somewhere we can just relax for a few days, and then plan a huge big trip for our 1 year anniversary at which point I will be allowed to come and go from the USA as I please.

    That's true, when I was a bridesmaid they wanted to charge us like $120 just to hem the dress. We went to see a local seamstress and she only charged $50 per dress... it's totally worth shopping around

    We got the Dollarama ones for sisters wedding and they lasted a long time. You got to love Dollarama!

    @@MJTK I don't have my dress either, well i'm pretty sure I know which one I want, found it online, want to go try some one first. But the website can custom make it so finding my shoes may be good.

    I understand, I am also french and although most of my family and people invited from Quebec are bilingual, I also feel like it's part of who I am and would like to incorporate it in our invitation and other aspects of our wedding. Still trying to figure out what I want to do.
