Woohoo! Purchased my fiance's wedding band this weekend. We had a great time shopping for them and he picked out one that I had always envisioned him wearing!!

Also - we hit up the With this Ring Bridal Gala in Red Deer, AB. It was pretty small (I'm from Vancouver and the tradeshows there are ENORMOUS so I may be a bit biased)... also we found that because we are doing a destination wedding there really wasn't much that applied to us ie. florists, makeup artists etc.
We did make the decision to get legally married where we live. It will save us over $1000, money that we can keep or put towards added extras (hello excursions!). We also are now toying with the idea of using a planning service in our home town vs using the on site wedding planners. Still really leaning towards the Grand Palladium Kantennah in Akumal!
Slowly but surely things are coming together
