Thanks for posting those. I can't belive how much everything is going to cost once I add in all the extras. When we frist decided to go with a DW we thought it would be alot cheaper. For some reason I thought they would have all these things included in a package. I wonder if you can get married on the grasss like they have on the arch pictures?? One of our groomsmen is in a wheelchair and most of the wedding places aren't very wheelchair accesible.

I wonder if the pricing for the arches includes the flowers as well What do you guys think. It says the arch name and the flowers. It wouldn't be so bad if it did include flowers. Chandlyn said she will take the flowers from the ceremony and decorate the reception tables with them so you wouldn't need to buy centerpieces as well.

I think some include flowers - the ones where it says the flower names / type of arrangement(s) in the description below the picture.

I'm definitely thinking the bamboo arch, I really do think it's nice. And for centerpieces, I think I'm going to bring my own and maybe do shells/candles/sand or something like that instead of flowers. The only problem with that is trying to pack it all up and bring it all down!

Well GOOD thing I am on my laptop sitting on my bed, because if I was on my desk top I would have fallen off my chair with these prices!!!!!!!!!!! If anyone has a Ragshop craft store around they are going out of business and they have some great ideas for center pieces with silk flowers all on sale. Well everything adds up and I think I will save money on flowers and little odds and ends so I can budget more for the photography, because thats really expensive too.

Sorry, totally off topic again, but when you mentioned your passports, I was just thinking of the stuff we need to send to the RIU before we go. Is it just copies of our passports and birth certificates? How far in advance do we need to send them? (I guess I should have started a new thread!)

[Jerzzygirl]

I was just starting a new post about that right now....lol
