I do plan to post lots of pics, I already LOVE this forum..I promise to do a "my stuff" post and provide any information to help other future brides...

I love teal too but honestly I LOVE your monogram and the colour of lime too, its original and different and I like that!! I started out with teal but have incorporated a "deep coral" colour in my flowers mixed with white as teal flowers are very hard to find...

Well not quite over but I must admit, we are a large number here..I love American shopping though..I must add that its been hard to find a lot of stuff in Canada and thus have spent tons of money on shipping and duty..Do you have the same problem?

As for the elopment, yeah, we did not want the fuss and honestly we wanted it to be intimate and although I am sure on the day of the wedding it will feel different, I have incorporated pics of my parents and (little dog) in my bouquet so I can feel them there with me!! haha..Sappy I know~

Omg, yes I have the same problem! Shipping is SO much, it can almost be as much as whatever it is you're purchasing. I started a thread because it ticked me off so much... I just started it the other day, but have a look and feel free to add to it if you have anything...

Thanks, That is the only problem with Canada, what is "free trade" it seems it serves American but not Canada cause I get knabbed EVERY single time I order...I have known people to never have to pay duty and I could order from the same place and order the same thing and DUTY hits me each time..LOL...
