I totally Facebook stalked you this whole week too! You both looked amazing, congrats!!! Enjoy your honeymoon and we'll see you in a couple weeks [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi @@vanessajfelice! Welcome to the thread! So nice to have another lady on here for support and motivation! You have such a great plan set up and now we're going to hold you to it so you're sure to succeed! My update I've been hitting the gym hard, clean eating, spinning etc and can notice that I'm toning. However, I got on my scale and actually said I was gaining! (I know the numbers don't mean much but I still check). I got on my digital scale first thing this morning with no clothing on and had gained 2 lbs back... then I drank a glass of water and went to the gym for spin. I weighed myself on the manual gym scale with my running shoes and workout clothes on and was 5 lbs less than this morning... which brings me lower than my pre-December weight and back on track! I'm feeling leaner and healthier and loving this feeling - definitely going to keep this up! I plan to take my measurements this weekend and continue meal prepping, clean eating and smashing the gym. I want to look amazing at my shower in 3 weeks. Hope you all have a great weekend!!! xo

Hi @@beachbeth! Don't feel discouraged, like the ladies said you just need to find the right agent. This was the hardest part of the process for me so far and I'm 3 1/2 months away from my day. We used Total Advantage Travel & Tours in Toronto and they were able to beat our original quote by $130 for each guest. Making my guests travel only $1259 pp incl tax from April 26-May 3. I know it's not the season you're looking for but it's worth reaching out to them for a quote. Good luck and keep us posted!

@@TaraMarie33 - Like @ I can't believe I haven't seen your thread until now. First of all, a big congratulations on becoming a Mr & Mrs and you're beautiful wedding day! I am so terribly sorry to hear about the rest of your week. There is absolutely no excuse for all the mess-ups and I am so sorry this happened to you. I hope in time you are able to remember more of the positive highlights of your week and especially your beautiful wedding day. Hope you share some pics! Would love to see everything all together and your dress! Love the choice on the cala lillies - great minds

@@acw271011 I just got an email about Pandora's new Valentine's Day collection! How do we get this to land in Doug's email inbox? lol

@@acw271011 Annnnn!!! I'm balling over here. What a beautiful video! You two are made for each other. I can barely see my screen right now with all the tears in my eyes - I hope this makes sense! Thank you so much for sharing. I can't wait to give you a giant hug on the 29th! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@@acw271011 I can't wait to watch it! I'm on a deadline so I'll watch it as soon as I get home!!!

Awesome! We're all set for Friday, January 29 at 5.30pm for 8 people at Joe Badali's - 156 Front St. West, Toronto, ON M5J 2L6. The reservation is under my name. I can't wait to see you all!

@@krystalball What time will you get there? I'm just making the reso now. Think if I book a table for 8 people that's safe? It can always be adjusted.

If everyone's okay with that I'll make a reso - same time? I'll wait until I hear back to cancel the Cibo one and make this one. It will take me about an hour to get to union from my place so I'll hopefully be there for 6.30pm/6.45pm

@acw271011 @TATrisha Thanks ladies! I have printing off emails so far but I will be sure to bring some copies of the pictures I've sent her as well.

@acw271011 @krystalball @perianjay Should we do Joe Badali's? I'm looking at their website and they have availability for 8 that evening.

Oh wow there is so much around union I didn't realize - Jack Astors, Canyon Creek, Joe Badali's has delicious Italian food too. I may have just put out too many options lol but again just to say I'm good with whatever!

@@krystalball I'm happy with anything close to a subway. Whatever is the most convenient

haha @acw271011 @calgarybride2015 you did not hijack the thread! Anyone looking for Pandora charm ideas hit the jackpot if they stumble upon this lol C'mon Doug! When someone has a Pandora bracelet, your gift giving problems are solved for a couple years! It's all I've been getting my sister for the past two years!

I'm not super familiar with the transit, the Yorkville location is 133 Yorkville ace. The King location is at 522 king street west, it's not near a subway station from what I can see, would have to take a street car, which is totally fine. @@acw271011 is that location better? Or does anyone have any other suggestions that would work better location-wise for everyone? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks @@Maggietron! I'm happy to hear you got your marriage certificate back - your poor brother must have felt so bad! Lol She seems good so far, quick on emails and has honoured all our requests. But I will def keep an eye on her! Thanks for the heads up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hahaha @@krystalball! I just wanted to make sure we had somewhere booked lol like I said it can be changed/cancelled. But if everyone is happy with Cibo, I'm happy That's great that you can get there to hold the reso. Thanks so much! I'm so looking forward to seeing you all! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay so I went ahead and made a reservation at the Yorkville Cibo location for 5.45pm for 8 people on Jan 29th. It can totally be changed, cancelled etc, just wanted to hold somewhere for us. I likely won't get there until 6.15/6.30 but I know some of you are downtown and can get there sooner. It's a 5 min walk from St George station on the Bloor line.

Hi @! haha thanks, I was making a bee-line for the car but I'm glad he stopped me. I hope the girls like the charms too, I wanted to get them something that made them remember the day. I will be sure to give a review and try to answer as many questions from the brides to be on the GBP forum after my wedding, so far everything with the resort has been great!

hahaha @@calgarybride2015 too funny! @@vancouverpetunia I am so sorry to hear about your tooth! You have a lot coming up that can definitely de-rail you, but you have been so good, I don't think it will impact your progress too much. Just make sure you're eating healthy and being active when you can! @@cruisebride2016 Wow! 5 lbs is awesome - good for you! It is so much harder when you're partner is sitting there eating delicious naughty food and you're trying to be good. But I think you got this!!! @@Wafflesmom Yay! Congrats on the loss and gains in the right places! You're so awesome, even with all your celebrations lately! Poor Waffles, hope she feels better soon! I'm going to take some measurements this weekend! Thanks for motivating me ladies

@@yycbride2016 Wow! Those bouquets are beautiful! Nice job! Great find with the tags and shirt!!!

The charms for my girls arrived and are super cute: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm good with either! Any one in favour of either? We should probably get a reservation in soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
