Hey, thanks so much for the reply.

Congratulations by the way! You must be so excited that it's getting close! Looking forward to the review

Quick question: I talked to Ivis today and she said that I HAVE to book through their TA to be able to get the group benefits (like the free cocktail party and/or reception). When you booked through Beach Bum Vacations, did they give you the group benefits or no?

Thanks again!

The outside of their gift box. Fits everything except for their Coach flip flops to go with their dresses for the wedding day.

 

So in love with these cards I made!!  Have them for our parents as well for their OOT bags --- with special poems in.

Well, I'm trying to muster up some energy to go to work tomorrow.  I have been sick for the last few days.  Well I didn't manage to finish the DIY project that I was working on for our welcome dinner (a little pop of color) but I did manage to puppy proof the house for Cesar's arrival on Saturday.  One of you should have sent a virtual smack and told me to wait until after the wedding because I have already spent well over a thousand bucks for a dog that ain't even here yet.   but excited nonetheless.  Here is a picture of Cesar who now weighs 10lbs 14 oz .  Expect an update sometime on Sunday.  I'm off on Monday and Tuesday to make sure the little bugger is comfortable, to do some shopping with him and vet visit.

WOW!! This is adorable, chic and definitely one of a kind!!

During the welcome/intro of the ceremony, the officiant will say:  Each of your family members and friends here today has chosen a shell that not only represents their unique individuality and their presence at your wedding today but also has a meaningful word on it that represents a value you’d like to honor in your marriage together.  You also each have a shell of your own that symbolizes your previous separate lives, separate sets of friends, separate families, and the different life’s journeys that you once traveled.  I ask that everyone hold this shell throughout the ceremony.  Fill your shell with positivity, prayer, wishes, and blessings of good will for Casey and Tammy… for the future of their marriage. 

 

Later, after the vows and rings have been exchanged, the officiant will say:  We will now pause to collect the shells that have been blessed with good fortune.

 

The union of these shells has now symbolically joined your once separate lives. Through you, just as the shells have been combined, so now are your friends and family joined. Your once solitary life’s paths are also now one, and all that was once separate is now shared. In this sharing, you both will find new strength and joy as together you forge a new life path. Shells stand the test of time. Over time they can even become stronger and more beautiful. Let these shells be a reminder and a memorial of the love, blessings and support that your family members and friends have provided you here today.  

 

 

 

The chest will be filled with sand with the shells on top.

Wellll 3 months today I will be standing on the beach saying I DO! I need some serious DIY motivation because my list is long and my time is short! I keep joking with my FI saying jeez I know why people have kids after they get married... I have no spare time with 2 little ones running around. I also need a bustle put in to my dress... I havent even been back to the store to try it on. Where has the time gone??????

 

On another note, my nana passed away new years day and I would like to include something in memory of her...I know people have posted some of this stuff but I never looked closely because I didnt think I would need anything Is etsy my best bet for a small memorial charm?
