      Venue-try the county parks. Edisto Hall on JI was $850 and included tables and chairs and PA. As for cake, we went a different road and got a tiered crepes cake from Charleston Crepe Co. With added cakes to fill out the number of servings needed, and chocolate and raspberry sauce, it was $480 (for 125 people) and got raves…

      Definitely try looking at the big names in bridesmaid dresses online first (David's, Dessy Group, etc.) and try to pick out a colour you like as an example. I quickly checked Dessy and there's an option to search by neutral shades. Two colours that seemed close to "Burlap" for me were: Palomino:…

      We used Secret Eden Flowers out of Pelham, NH. We got my bouquet, 6 bridemaids, 4 corsages, 6 bouts, a flower girl bouquet and a toss bouquet for $950 and the only reason it was that expensive was because we used roses and tulips, which are both on the pricier side. I'm not sure how pricey her centerpieces, etc. are, but…

If you want to check it out, it's in my wedding bio. And I got an email yesterday that we can pick up our actual wedding on Thursday! I am so excited.. so…

      1. Definately go to premarital counseling! You need to be on the same page money-wise, and I know from experience the problem won't just disappear after the wedding. Love does not conquer all! 2.Step up & pay for the wedding yourselves, so you don't have to deal with the family drama. 3. Look at antique rings. Modern…

      FI and I went to Now Jade in Riveria Maya last September. We booked through Cheap Carribean and went for 5 nights for like $850, all inclusive. We had an AWESOME time. Literally within the first hour we met so many other awesome couples to hang out with, but we also spent a lot of time alone at dinners and on our balcony…

      The prices do vary a lot. I only got a few quotes - and most were way out of my budget. According to someone who contacted a lot more, the general range is $850-$1200 (Link). Here's a thread from way back that mentions what some DOCs charge (or did when these girls booked them, anyway) -- link. I don't know what my planner…

      The reason it is considered a "myth" is because the extrapolated data projections made back when overpopulation was deemed an issue are no longer valid. The predictions were wrong. And the statistics are showing that globally, we are beginning a decline. So yes, we had a population explosion in the past century, but it…

      1) Do you celebrate Christmas? If not...what do you celebrate? If so...do you celebrate for religious reasons or are you shallow like me and only celebrate it because you like sparkly lights and gift giving? Yes, we celebrate Christmas, and Yule. I'm Catholic by birth, but pretty much just Christian by practice. My friends…
