November 2011 Brides (or Grooms)

[meBonidie2be]

wow. finally Mrs. B.   I am finally done with wedding events!!!!!!! 

 

Congratualtions everyone : ) I love looking at all the pics. I hope there are more to be posted

 

First time I have been on here in a long while. Everything went perfectly for us. Our honeymoon was my fav part. Any time I ever get stressed, I'll just put myself there mentally. We had our AHR this past sat and surprised  our 185 guests with another "legal" ceremony. I am so glad we got to do it all over again because the resort ceremony felt a bit commercialized and staged. My fav part of the do over was cutting the cake. I was slightly annoyed how the WC kept telling us exactly what to do and how to pose for pics. I was thinking "shut the f up and let us enjoy the moment!!!" But other than that..... I could not have asked for anything more.

 

We have some stunning photos. Our photographers tagged us in some on FB, but I don't have any I can put on here yet.

As soon as I get them, I'll be sharing!!!

 

Now it is time to focus on Baby Bonidie. My belly is growing quickly. Looking forward to clothes shopping, planning the nursery and all the other fun stuff

So I did have the guts to chop off my hair but it doesn't really look like the picture I took in.  I think I will need to go back in a month or so for a reshaping.  The stylist put so much volumizing stuff in my hair (she even tried to weigh it back down with wax) that when she asked if there was anything I wanted to change I really couldn't tell because it was too poofy.  Here is a picture of what it looked like later last night (after some of the volume had fallen out):

 

 

Paul likes it a lot more than I do at this point - we will see if it grows on me.  Pucca - I think most guys prefer longer hair, so I think Paul must be odd.  I think I will be wearing a lot of scarves this winter so I don't feel too exposed....

 

 

 

 

That's another reason I can't cut my hair short anymore - I feel too exposed to the elements in the winter.  I don't like it when hair stylists pouf the hair up too much so I know what you mean. But your haircut looks great! I think it just takes some getting used to and finding your way to style it. 

 

As for my wedding dress, I'm certainly planning to dry-clean it, and maybe preserve it. For what I have no idea, but I feel like it's what should be done. It's still sitting in the garment bag that I brought it home in though.... I do want it to find another owner at some point but I'm not sure how I'm going to do that. I'm actually contemplating donating it because I'd like it to bring joy to someone else as much as (or more than) it did to me. Doing some research on it at the moment.

Congratulations Mrs B - on the marriage and the baby.  I can't imagine trying to plan for a wedding and a baby at the same time - I am impressed.  Like Pucca said - we are looking forward to seeing pictures.

 

Pucca - I am right there with you on wanting to find a way to pass on the dress so someone else can enjoy it.  If you find out any good info on donating your dress, please let me know.

Hi my lovely November brides!!

 

Im still at Sun Palace getting a pedicure as I type. We fly home tmrw. What a wonderful experience. The whole wedding was gorgeous, ceremony was a hit (David and the whole bridal party danced down the aisle to a choreographed dance....they did such a great job) and the ceremony script I put together was lovely and several guests commented on it. The reception was a blast...food was great and we got everyone up to dance for at least two songs. Aventura Resort was beautiful!! The days flew by and I don't feel like I've been on vacation for 9 days already. I want to stay lol!!

 

I got to see the video last night and I can't wait to see the photos. La Luna did a fantastic job of capturing amazing moments.

 

Everyone loved the OOT bags and ended up using a good amount of the stuff in them. Palace Resorts offers credit to use at the spa, on excursions, upgrading the room, etc. Most people either got $750 or $1500 to spend. They loved it. Palace Resorts is amazing!!

 

Well we fly home tmrw and I don't go back to work til Tuesday so I have plenty of time to post pics, videos, write reviews, post my planning thread, etc. 

 

Hope u all have a fantastic Thanksgiving!!!

Hey girls, 

 

Congratulations all those who are already married and good luck to those who are still to come. I am now officially a Mrs!!! We did it ladies! The day was amazing, simply perfect, gorgeous weather, stunning beach and just everything went so smoothly. 

 

Please see a link to some photos by our amazing photographer Sascha http://cancunphotosblog.com/carriemike-dreams-tulum/ he was just amazing. 

 

Can not believe I am a Mrs, just the AHR to organise now....

Congratulations!

 

Your pictures are lovely - the ones you posted AND the ones on the blog.  There are some beautiful and artistic shots.  But I think my favorite may be the last one on the blog - the simple closeup of you behind his arm - because you look so happy!
