Just booked DJ Kevan Stewart for our wedding!! [emoji1][emoji38][emoji108] Does anyone have any recommendations for florists? I don't think the flowers that come with our wedding package will be enough!? We got the Royal package since the Caprice literally had nothing extra we wanted or even needed.

I can hardly wait to walk down that aisle!! I think my FI and I are going to do a "first look" photo session just before the actual ceremony to get some more intimate pictures! @@calgarybride2015 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh!! And my DIY brooch bouquet!! [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is your husband seeing your side to it, or only his mothers? If I was you I'd stop trying to appease her and do it as it is! It's obviously fair and you can't get much fairer than 50/50!! If you start to give into her now you're looking forward to her getting more and more control. Gotta take a stand somewhere [emoji21] even though it's hard, but in the end she will hopefully look back and see how ridiculous she was and has acted about certain things! Sorry to hear about this; you're really stuck in-between a rock and a hard place @@Mrsktobe Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Beautiful!! [emoji7] and I know what you mean! We were expecting maybe 20 guests but we are gonna have around 50 also!! [emoji16][emoji38] I'm only using the hotel for the WC and my hair services! I have a very close family friend who is an amazing photographer (her daughter stood up at my adoption, and is now standing at my wedding as well!) so we gave her one of our free trips and she's going to shoot the whole week for free for us!! Can't wait! I'm getting kevan stewart for a DJ because he pays his own vendors fee [emoji5]️ and my MOH is doing my makeup! My wedding colors are purple gold and ivory! (I find the blues to be very played out) so wanted something different for my wedding [emoji4] My dress: FI's outfit: Bridesmaids outfits & shoes: I gave my 4 girls a choice between the glad and the wedges, only one chose the flats LOL! Groomsmen outfits: They are going to wear black leather sandals for shoes! My uncles outfit: (I'm adopted to a single mother so he's basically been my dad!) He's walking me down the aisle! And his suit is linen so really light and floaty! My shoes for the ceremony: My shoes for the reception: Wedding favours: For the Red Stripe in Jamaica!!

LOL too funny! My FI and I got engaged September 19th, 2013 and picked and booked a hotel a couple months after that because we let people know about it before we booked it all! [emoji4] what hotel and area are you getting married @@Lisa35 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

From Cambridge ON [emoji5]️ getting married at the Riu Mintego Bay in Jamaica! We leave in 32 days!!!

Lol it comes up quick @@Lisa35 ! Believe me I started planning this a year and a half ago and now we leave in 32 days for Jamaica!! [emoji267][emoji5]️ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The planning is always fun! Then the special event comes and seems like it just flys by and then it's over! Wish I could prolong the moment, but at least my photographer will do her best to capture the moment and preserve it forever [emoji5]️ @@veryvalentine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Our wedding favours!! [emoji7] They are cup cozies for the Red Stripe in Jamaica!! And convenient for people when they come home [emoji12] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I totally understand your perspective @@JenniferH114 and I've never once said its all about me because it's not; it's about the Union of two people who love and are committed to one another. I'm not upset over the fact that she hasn't come to anything (yes it is a bit of an annoyance but not the huge deal), what the matter is is that she agrees to come and then bails last minute or just doesn't show up altogether, without telling me. I never planned on having a shower or bachelorette either but my MOH and bridesmaids all wanted to do it (her being one of them) so it doesn't make sense for her to be put off by the events when she's the main one that wanted them! (Besides my MOH of course!) I also never said any of my girls have to be at every event that was planned, since I don't want to go to all of them either LOL! I have never made any of my bridesmaids feel like they have to come or anyone for that matter, but why agree to be a bridesmaid if you're only going to show up for the wedding? Why not just be a guest?If my wedding was in Canada she still wouldn't come to any of the events. I've told everyone no gifts but people always do and I've offered to drive like I've said, offered her a room at my place so it wouldn't even cost her anything but her time if she came! This wouldn't bother me if she came to just ONE thing, like with all of us getting our nails done the day before we go(which is cheaper here than in Jamaica!) but she can't even though she will be passing right by like I've said. I'm not like most brides I'm almost too relaxed! People have told me they have to check me for an actual heartbeat to make sure I'm still alive!! I have one bridesmaid who has been in countless weddings and actually was a bride herself 2 years ago; who tells me she can't even tell I'm a bride. I'm super laid back which is why it's taken me over a year of this silliness for me to even care LOL! Like I've said I've had huge amounts of time between events. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I feel like the teal/ Aqua and blues is almost over played. Every time I've been to Jamaica or Mexico every wedding you see the accent color is a shade of blue! That's why I decided to go with the purple and ivory and gold! Looks beautiful on sand and very royal [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you! I actually did my makeup and extensions myself in this picture! Had my makeup trial I believe 2 weeks ago? And have been practicing, since my MOH is doing my makeup for the wedding! @@veryvalentine [emoji5]️ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very sound advice @@veryvalentine [emoji4] just what I needed to hear and it helps to rant a bit [emoji13] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know EXACTLY what you mean!! @@TinkerSofi Still feels like I'm playing dress up and day dreaming like I used to as a little girl! It feels so close but at the same time so far away [emoji38] IM GETTING MARRIED!! Ahh [emoji23][emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Leaving for Jamaica in 32 days!! [emoji1][emoji267][emoji16][emoji5]️ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lmao! Pretty much @@veryvalentine [emoji38] I know I feel lost with what to do, so I've decided I don't care. That may sound harsh but I can't care about this on top of other worries to do with the wedding! And she was one of the first people who booked after me and my FI of course LOL! So really seems weird. But like I said everything will be irie! [emoji267][emoji1] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea I totally hear you @@veryvalentine We have kept everything really simple as well; like I said we had an engagement party/wedding party party, which she couldn't go to, she couldn't come to my one bridal shower (even though at first she said she could), can't come to my bachelorette (which is only a one night thing and 10 of us are going so costs are way down! Even offered to pay for her), can't come to my other bridal shower (have told everyone not just her that gifts aren't needed but my future MIL wants to throw a shower LOL), and can't come to get her nails done the day before we leave for Jamaica with all of the girls! (That one really doesn't make sense since she will be driving right past where we are getting our nails done to get to the hotel at the airport! Makes even less sense since we are also going to be going to the hotel after we get our nails done too!) Every single one of these events has been over 3 months apart to even 5 months apart! I've offered to drive and given her a room to stay the night but she keeps saying distance. I'm a very open person so I tried to talk to her about it and all she says is distance. It really hurts that that's her only reason since it's barely a 2 hr drive and I would do it for her if it was her wedding! And I think my MOH is even more excited about my wedding than I am at times!! [emoji5]️[emoji38] Maggy is absolutely amazing and we've been friends since we were in grade 5! In her and my first cellphones we both wrote that we would be each others MOH when either of us got married[emoji23] Still can't believe it's happening [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pretty much!! After our reception is done at 10:30 we are going to go to the disco to party some more! Once speeches are done all my control is going out the window and from there my MOH and other bridemaids will have to take care of me LOL!

I think it's because I've been riding horses since I can remember, and you have to have a heel on your boot LOL!! Just second nature I guess [emoji13] And it's fun wearing them around the house even if you're not trying to break them in!

Gotta be able to bust a move! [emoji12] @@TinkerSofi And that's too bad [emoji21][emoji17] IT always sucks when you fall I love with shoes and they don't work! I'll probably end up wearing these shoes a lot after the wedding they are so comfy! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Found my reception shoes yesterday!! My purple shoes are for pictures and the ceremony!! I needed heels that strapped over my foot so they are more secure for dancing for the reception[emoji4]! My FI and I are excellent dancers, (he used to actually be in a dance crew back in the day [emoji12] I love the fact that he can dance!) and I love to dance so I needed shoes I could really feel free in, and these are them!!
