2 Big Decisions last week...Done!!

NaluJS

     Well, in my first post I mentioned we were trying to decide where to get married...CA or Hawaii.  We finally decided on Oahu!  Now I can focus on that and I'm glad there is so much info on these boards.  We want to get married next Summer.  Hopefully I can get it all done by then!!     Second, I BOUGHT MY WEDDING DRESS!! It was my 3rd time trying on dresses.  It was a little weird, but very exciting.  I went from wanting simple and ended up with a little dramatic.  Not really a dress I planned on, but when I put it on, I knew I had to have it.  It definitely makes everything seem even more real.  I'll be checking out the boards this weekend for ideas.  Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated!!

Congrats! Isn't it surprising how trying on dresses shows you that what you thought you wanted may not be at all what you end up actually wanting and looking best in? Be prepared for people to tell you that you shouldn't have a very formal dress for a HI wedding (they keep telling me that, and I studiously ignore them ). People just don't know what they're talking about. I'm glad you got a dress you love. Happy planning! You may also want to look at the message boards on bestdestinationwedding.com and at the Destination Wedding message board on the Knot (as well as their FAQ) - they've got good ideas on there, too.
