Some people have asked me if we set up a wedding website and the answer is yes! When we decided on a destination wedding the first thing we did was set up a website. While we were offered a free website by the travel wedding planner and by the hotel, we had set ours up [...]

I so can’t believe that in 6 weeks we’ll be in Aruba! Time is just flying. I didn’t post at 7 weeks because honestly I haven’t been getting much done. Part of it is waiting — waiting on answers from wedding planners. Another part of it is really procrastination. The invitations did come but still [...]

Well I’ve lost track of whether I’ve posted on this or not but one of my biggest ordeals has been (comfortably) getting into my wedding dress! The dress is too big almost everywhere but too small for my bust! You know how hard it is working like crazy to lose weight and hoping you’ll lost [...]

Oh my gosh – RueLaLa is running the Nicole Miller bridal clearance again! Today only! There are only two styles left. One is selling for $399, the other for $499 (there had been other styles starting at $119). Please know that Nicole Miller runs truer to size. I’m a street size 4 and fit a [...]

These days my FAV site is weddingbee.com. They have the best forum where you can get answers to questions and support! The only thing is there are tons of super crafty girls on here that are starting to make me feel totally inadequate because I’m just not (crafty that is). But they’ve inspired me to [...]

Bryan Morris of Bryan Morris Photography has posted some gorgeous Aruba City Hall photos on his blog. These are these best pictures I have found so far. They really show hall’s charm. And, in my opinion, Bryan is one of the best photographers Aruba has to offer.

Seems like I’m getting bad news after bad news lately. The latest, today I went to order my palm leaf welcome bags and they are out of stock! I’m still waiting to hear when they’re expected to be in again. So now what? How long to I wait for these to come back in stock? [...]

I know I haven’t posted much this last week but there hasn’t been much to post. These days it seems like I’m doing a lot of waiting! Waiting for answers on flowers, waiting for answers on tipping, waiting for video packages, waiting for invitations… That and going in circles on some of the same topics [...]

Here is a write-up and photos of a beautiful ‘real wedding’ on Renaissance Island in Aruba. Though we decided Ren Island wasn’t for us, this posting shows just how beautiful it can be. I can totally identify with this bride who describes Aruba lacking in vendor options. In particular, before reading her write-up I can [...]
