Hi everyone....I am getting married October 10th.......I can't believe it is finally almost here.  It has been a journey.  I keep saying I am going to do a planning thread but I just haven't had the time.  So here is a little something.......

 

How we met:

Today is actually the anniversary of when my fiancé and I met 4 years ago.  I actually had broken up with my ex about 6 weeks before this and I wasn't looking for another relationship.  I was ready to be single and mingle.....however, I went out with one of my best friends and my fiancé (Ty) happened to be there.  (My girlfriend and Ty actually have mutual friends).  We have been together ever since.  :)

 

Engagement:

We were engaged July 28th, 2013 in Cancun Mexico.....we were there for a friends wedding.  He proposed in front of everyone during brunch.  I was surprised because he gave a speech about how much he loved me in front of everyone.  (He is not a big talker so that made it really sweet that he came out of his comfort zone). 

 

Date: 

We didn't set a date right away.  We actually waited a year and then set the date in June of last year.  We originally booked at the Royalton White Sands.....I was really excited as I had done a site visit there.  However, earlier this year, I found out that they did not honor my requests for reception locations etc so I decided to move the wedding.  We are now getting married at the Jewel Paradise Cove Resort and Spa.  It is an adult only resort. 

 

The dress: 

Well, I am very indecisive.....I have bought and returned 5 dresses to David's bridal.  And I still wasn't happy.....I ended up going to a Bridal boutique not far from my home and they had a discontinued Allure Couture gown that absolutely loved and it zipped right up as if it were made for me.  I would post pictures however, my computer is not allowing me to modify the pics.  But I will post them with my iphone after I finish this. I now have to sell my David's bridal dress.  What a headache!

 

I have made bouquets for myself and my MOH. 

 

I have decided not to do the OOT bags (I don't want to take all of that stuff with me), so I am doing "Fly Away" gift boxes that I will send to each guest/couple with the wedding brochure and the their itinerary.

 

Basically, everything is complete.  I am just counting down the days!!!! :D

I love both of your choices..... The dress you picked is gorgeous!!! There are so many beautiful dresses it's so hard to choose!

 

I can't believe we only have a few more weeks till our weddings! I'm putting the final touches on my favors and bouquet. The OOT bags have me stumped cause I don't want to take everything with me but I don't know if giving/ sending them to guests before hand is poor etiquette? I have to make a decision soon!!!

I don't think there would be anything wrong with sending them ahead of time. In fact I think your guests would be thrilled to receive them whether before or after you arrive in Jamaica! Do what works best for you!!
