@@cruisebride2016 Congrats on your 100 day mark! Is it just me or is time flying?!?! Sorry to hear about your friend not being able to make it, my cousin had to back out too because she's due this month. Good luck on your final payment date! Hopefully you can breath easier after! It's a shame that you're being charged 40% extra but I would do the same to have what I want pictured, it's your wedding day Your honeymoon sounds great as well! Hope everything continues to run smoothly for you!

@@Jennal412 Sicne our guests only had 90 days as well, we set up our wedding website and sent out an email save the date as soon as we secured our rate with the website link so guests could start booking. We mailed out our passport invitations without an rsvp card and a link to the website instead so we could get them in a habit of checking there for updates. We also set-up an wedding email and sent reminders to our guests about deadlines etc Of course people still texted us for dates and other info but our method seemed to work pretty well.

@@Wafflesmom Everything looks great! I love the colour of Der's tie and pocket square, I know we've said this before but our colours are so similar! I can't wait to see everything all together, it will give me such a good idea of what ours will look like! Are you using the wedding dj app? And downloading apple music to use on that? I'm sorry I'm so awful with technology! I'm going through your to-do list this weekend - it will help so much. Thanks for sharing and congrats on making so much progress. I was thinking yesterday - you said you're not creative but look at your napkins and marquee letters! I think you may have underestimated yourself

Sounds great!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yesss would love to meet up!!! I'm free the last weekend in January, but working the weekend before and cols mom is flying in the weekend after. So if that weekend doesn't work, I can do February as well! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks great!!! I agree, the cake is partly for show so best to go with a small one if that's it's purpose. I'm on the search for a topper too! I'm trying to find the perfect one still! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@@ashhtayy I hear you! It was sooooo hard to get up this morning! This break we also went to bed late and slept in so I could not fall asleep last night, I was sending emails at 12.30am because instead of sleeping, my brain decided to think of everything I need to do this week. I set my alarm for 5.30 and snooze until 6.45... I start work at 8 so no time for the gym before. I'm going after but I love to get it in in the morning when I can! Hopefully we will feel a bit more normal within a couple days and be able to get to those early morning gym sessions!

Thanks @@yycbride2016 for the motivating words!!! I hope you're right and the holiday weight comes off fast, I hate myself for letting this happen. You sound like you are so on track and going to crush your program!

@ Thank you!!! Honestly, I wouldn't of splashed out so much on the guys but since we got both watches for $200 I was totally okay with it and like you said they will love them! I'm so happy with the suits! Col loves the grey too. I love that you can see my vision for the table numbers, I am way too excited about them lol! Hope you're doing well! I've looked at your pics so many times lol

@@ashhtayy I think they both look super cute but also leaning towards the gold chevron print. Any chance if your MIchael's doesn't have the "M" they can check the stock at another store for you? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You ladies are so amazing for keeping this going!!! Well done on the weight loss @@vancouverpetunia! I've gained about 4 lbs the month of December with all the chocolates, dinners out & drinks. I worked out at least 3 times a week during but you can't out train a bad diet. Col and I are cracking down with less than 4 months to go and we were in the gym almost everyday on our Christmas break, including Christmas Day! We've thrown out all the bad food in the house and are meal prepping today. I'm bringing my dress into the shop on Saturday to have the corset added in and I really wish I didn't gain those pounds back...but we are now super determined and focused! Cols even talking about hitting the gym while we're in Mexico! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks @@vancouverpetunia!!! Really happy with the progress we've made! We made it to the gym Christmas Day! We only took 2 days off in between the 11 days we were in there and threw out all the bad food in the house! I'm going to pop into the accountability group and update - it's been so long! I'm bringing my dress in on Saturday to have the corset put in the back! Super excited to see how it looks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Everything looks so amazing!!!!! omg 3 weeks! I can't believe how fast time is flying! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks @@Wafflesmom! Happy new year to you too! 2016 is going to be the best year yet!!! Col won't let me show anyone what he looks like in the suit, I told him I was going to share with the bdw ladies and he was okay with that lol [emoji4] I can't wait for his ring to arrive. He wants to get it engraved with our wedding date. I really think the guys will love the watches too! And we got such a great deal - yay for Boxing Day sales! The table numbers are super light weight! I got them from stockade.com and they ship within Canada. They come separately as numbers and bases and they advise painting them once they are all assembled but I don't want to risk them breaking in our suitcases so we're going to paint separately and assemble in Mexico. I think they're going to look so pretty, I can't wait to get them painted and get the rest of the centrepieces. You are soooo close! You must be getting so excited!!! I'm so excited for you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sooooo cute!!! Great idea! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Whoooo @@snswedding2016 you leave sooo soon! I would be buzzing too and definitely not able to sleep, I already have trouble now with all the thoughts going on in my head lol. Your robes are gorgeous - your girls are going to love them! And your dress is so beautiful on you! Enjoy your last few days here and brunches with your friends and family! You'll be in Mexico before you know it! [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ugghh @@ashhtayy that is so frustrating! I can totally understand why you would need a rant! I'm so sorry to hear about the trouble you're experiencing. I can only hope it gets better for you!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Happy new year to you too @@ashhtayy!!! Thanks! I can't believe all the progress we made over this break! Still have a bunch more to do but nice to have some of the bigger things taken care of! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a great Christmas!!! While waiting for my friends to arrive I wanted to take a minute to update my thread - we have been so productive this Christmas break!!! We took advantage of the Boxing Day sales and purchased our groomsmen gifts: We ordered Colin's wedding band, should arrive any day now: We ordered table numbers, will be painting these a sparkly metallic silver and working on pairing with a vase of flowers. They are 5 1/2 inches tall: And after visiting about 6 stores in 3 days, we found our suits! So handsome We will pick up the groomsmen's suits before Col's mom heads home back to London after my shower in February so she can bring them to the guys and they can have them tailored there. Col will be going in March to have his tailored before the wedding as he hopes to drop a size or two. We've both been in the gym every day since the 23rd of December so if we keep this up we should be good That's all for now! I hope you all have a wonderful New Years and 2016 is even better than this last amazing year has been! Xoxo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I love seeing the progression of it! Looks beautiful so far! Can't wait to see the rest! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ann! I haven't had a chance to look at them all but I've seen the first 30 and they are amazing so far!!!! You make a stunning bride! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@@cruisebride2016 Glad to hear things are getting better with the TA! I completely understand about the flowers, I'm bringing my own so I can guarantee we get our colours and exact flowers we want. I've purchased all my flowers from Michael's, they have that real touch feel, you can see them in the link to my thread in my signature. Depending on the flowers you want and the quantity you may be able to swing a really good price with Michael's using their coupons. I was in Michael's on Monday and they are starting to bring all their flowers out now, some really beautiful blue flowers too! - I also just realized you're in the States - I don't know if you have a Michael's there or anything similar?
