Do they come with the flower on them? Are you going to incorporate your colours into them?

I like the new fans.

We have kept our legal ceremony a secret since we did it so early. I haven't told anyone which is rare for me since I usually can't keep a secret!

Danielle, so glad you are happy with your new fans!! That is great!! Talk about super fast shipping!!

 

We are sort of keeping it a secret. No one is going with us but my parents know. Other then that no one knows and hopefully I can keep my big excited trap shut!

What kind of jewlery is it? I picked up some earrings at Dillards a week ago. They are chandelier type with pearls that were ivory & a champagne color. How cute your daughter is wearing a tiara - she will feel like a little princess!

I'm starting to gather info for my welcome packets, there more a What You Need to Know Before You Go packet since i'm handing them out ahead of time.

I know - I am more relaxed too and more excited more than anything.

That is short and sweet! I take it you aren't doing a sand ceremony? Are you going to write your vows on something or go by memory?

I was wondering too if that's the stock pic or is it your actual fan? How are you decorating them? I have SO much housework to do myself - don't feel bad!

Then they are completely fine with it. We also tell them that even though we are doing the legal thing here, we aren't exchanging rings and our 'wedding' will be down in the Dominican.

That's great your family understands. I thought about getting married here legally first but i wasn't sure what kind of reaction i would of gotten. Then i thought about keeping it secret but i know my big mouth would of slipped. lol So in the end we decided to do it in the Dominican.

That's the website pic but the fan looks exactly like it minus the flower of course. I'm going to still wrap the handle. Glue the program to the front and add either a seashell or starfish right at the top of the handle.

[lucy106]

Celina, we are writing our own vows but we havent decided if we will do them just off the top of our heads or what, I know I will be a crying mess!

[EricaG]

I haven't even talk to FI about writing our own vows or not. I can't see that he would be up for that though. Him, I will see what he says though.

[DanielleNDerek]

Were not doing our own vows. I could never figure out what to write. I'm not a real mushy feelings kind of person. And i hate talking in front of people, even if it's all family and friends.

[EricaG]

I think that I might just put some together for us that they can use for the ceremony, but not any mushy stuff, because we aren't mushy people either. Then if I don't really care for the wording that they have, we can use ours. I will see if I can get the wording they use from them, but they aren't always very quick to respond, and we have less than 4 months left. LOL
