[mrs p 2 be]

were in liverpool, I put my deposit down on my dress about a month ago love love love it was the 2nd dress i tried on just feels perfect.

 

yeh it is so nice talking to someone else from the uk thats going to be there the same time as us you should be fine with the gazebo as ive heard they only have a few weddings a day and only 1 at a time

 

i contacted erika the wedding coordinator and she sent me a list of all extras. we want to try and keep everything as low key as possible

if you have trouble getting in touch i can try an email you what she sent me if you give me your email address if thats any help

No i dont mind Questions at all! That's a shame about first choice not matching the deal, but yeh you can get them online anyways for reasonable prices. Think that's good idea for the bridesmaids, my bridesmaids prob going to have chiffon dresses which crease really easily so think I may do the same! Just don't forget them and leave them on the plane haha that would be awful! We have 14 booked so far but we recon around 20 - 23 final numbers, how about u? It's so funny that you have asked about family / friends reactions!!! Cos we have had very mixed opinions! Some in our family love to travel but others are very nervous flyers and haven't flown in years n years so as you can imagine were horrified at the thought to start with ( but now they have booked and are excited which is fab ) think the initial shock has gone now and they understand its what me and my hubby to be would love for our wedding day. How's things going with you? Xx

so far we have 11 booked with poss another 5-11 still to book 

 

my future mother in law is terrified of flying and has been great about it booked the day after us ha ha i had a few issues with my (only) brother he and his wife have just had another baby and have decided not to come obviously im gutted but we said from the very beginning (we told everyone in april last year that we were going to jamaica) that we would love them to come but understand its a long way and expensive so completely understand if they cant make it but they just avoided it for ages and it caused a lot of friction and upset but they finally told me and we all know where we stand now

I also had some people say straight away yeh yeh will deffinately be there and now avoid the subject including my best friends! I just wish they would just say sorry we cant make it 

 

its not as stress free as i had thought ha ha

Funny that we have been going through the same things with family and friends, & sorry to hear that your brother can't attend but great news about the baby. You should skype each other on the day!

 

I have only immediate family on my side coming and my partner has lots & lots as he has a very big family. (& its my mother in law to be that is the nervous flyer too!!! - her and her husband - but she has been amazing- they did upgrade to premium which I think will help to make the flight less nerve-wracking !!)

 

Some of our friends have been really great very honest and told us straight that its not possible for them, but others have said yes defiantly and then avoid the "booking up" bit! very similar to your situation! We have said that its no problem with us if they are unable to attend as we know its such a big ask. I have found it hard with bridesmaids as we don't want to commit to buying expensive dresses and things if they are then going to be unable to go. A few have mentioned booking in the holiday sales / late deals if something comes up but thats leaving it way too late for me to organise dresses & colours, so i've just said thats no problem with us but I will need to have you as guests. (I don't want to sound mean to them but I think its better all round when everyone is upfront and honest). 

 

Have you had any luck with your friends since? How many bridesmaids are you hoping to have? xx
