How exciting! Have you been able to book yet? The wait is driving me MAD! What sort of date are you aiming for? How odd that we might be there at the same time!

Yes I will be there a year before haha.  I am doing the gazebo at 4 then reception on the beach.  We have about 30 people going.  I'm counting the hours and minutes

FI and I have finally managed to book the date for our wedding! August 23rd 2013

We are both booked, as well as our first set of guests: my parents and sister, FI's mum and Stepdad, my oldest school friend and her partner, my bridesmaid and FI's best man.

Here are my home made invitations. It's a bit weird sending out invites *after* some people have booked, but I guess that's one of the skewed traditions when it comes to Destination Weddings.

In the last few weeks we finally found bridesmaid dresses that I and both my girls loved:

 

 

 

 

 

We also found FI's suit today! FI will be wearing this with a white shirt and turquoise accents. Groomsmen will be wearing the trousers, a white shirt and purple accents. 

 

 

As yet I still have no dress, but this is what I'm looking for (anyone more in the know, dress-wise, have any suggestions???)

 

 

 

And this is the dress I have bought for my AHR.

Everything looks great! Love the i spy and I LOVE the AHR dress. Where did you find it or who is the designer?
