2014 Cruise Brides

[nanasb1214]

I will be renewing my vows but my REAL wedding in December of 2014 on Disney Dream Cruise. I can't wait. We will be having our kids, grandkids ( I am a very young grandma of 46) and friends join us on the ship. We are getting married on the ship in the Bahamas. I do have a question for all of you. I am having an argument with one of my daughters. She is upset that I am not just wanting to wear a sundress and get it over with. Since this is my Real first wedding I would like to wear a Princess type gown and since it is going to be the week before Christmas I would like the girls that are standing up to wear red. She is having a fit! 

 

Is there a rule book on renewing vows and what you are supposed to wear? Can someone give me your opinion on this subject?? Would love reading them.

I have no idea if theres a rule that says if your renewing your vows you shouldnt wear a ball gown but i feel a wedding is a wedding! Who cares what other people think, they aren't paying for it and even if they were its your day so alls that matters is what you and you groom want to do. You have the entire cruise to where a sundress so on your special day you should stand out.

Nana Get the dress you love! I wore a simple dress for my beach cerony but it still was a fitted mermaid with crinoline underneath. For the reception on board I wore a dropped waist with train full of flouncy layers and lace and beaded with pearls and onyx. Not only did I love it and so did everybody else especially my husband. You do feel extra special with it on, and if you don't like being the center of attention, having random people clap and cheer and hug you, go for it! You deserve to have your day and whatever makes you happy do it! Enjoy every moment, just don't do it to "get it over with". We ended up going dancing to the nightclub until 4:30 am we didn't want it to end! Congratulations! Have a blast!

I agree!  It is your day, wear what you want!  I went to a vow renewal several years ago and it was very similar to a wedding.  It was incredible!  She had a beautiful ivory gown, formal reception, favors, guest book, everything!  The only differences were the vows and she had her children walk her down the aisle.

Yes this is my day and if my daughter does not like it she can just go else where while everyone else is having the time of there life. I am going dress shopping on April 6th so I will be sure to post some princess gowns that I try on.

I am planning on taking the Carnival Legend the week of April 6, 2011. My FI and I plan to get married in Grand Cayman (on the beach) on Friday, April 11. 

 

Do any of you ladies have any suggestions and/or recommendations on how to handle non-cruise line related wedding coordinators? 

Thanks in advance.

Haha. I typed 2011 instead of 2014!! Must have been think of April 11, the day we are getting married and the year at the same time.

I'm just starting! How did you guys decide on which cruise line (or specific ship, even!) to go with? Also, are you guys getting married on ship or on shore?
