So is everyone wearing a headpiece and veil or something else.
i am going to just wear a real pretty comb. No veil

---

I wore a veil and tiara. I wanted a romantic traditional look...I got both where I bought my dress...the veil matched the dress so I had to get it lol-it had the same crystals as my dress. I wore my hair half up half down.

I WISH we had gotten engaged there - that would have made it perfect. However, we didn't get engaged until about 8 months after the trip. However, on our last night, we were walking on the beach in Maui and FH looked at me and said 'you know we're coming back here on our HM, don't you?'

I'm learning more about myself as I plan the wedding. I am finding that a lot of things I just don't care about.

---

I feel the same.

I turned 40 in sept. and dh will be 45 Dec 7th. I personally think we still look pretty young for our age. at least trying anyway,

That's pretty and simple. So you are giving up the bag?

---

Yeah I guess. i really didnt want too but FH really like the box idea. he has been so good about the other stuff that I wanted/didnt want so I figured I would give this to him.

I just looked at your pic (BTW they are beautiful) and you guys look great. People tell me that I look around 35 actually I am 46. I think its true that you are only as old as you feel.

I'm so sorry. ITA that the photog is the most important vendor...when you think of it they are really in charge of your memories!!!!They can do so many things with photos nowadays though. I'm sure you will get it fixed so that you can have pics with just you and just DH

I was speaking to FH about card boxes yesterday. I told him that I really didnt want it. He likes the idea. So i am going to go by his opinion and get a card box. I was looking at some of them. I really didnt like those elaborate 3 tiered one but I came across this which I kinda liked. What do you guys think

---

I love it-simple and elegant. But...as an FYI...
please don't hate me for saying this...I'm paranoid about these things but, I chose a regular (closed) card box partly because I read some stories on here about brides not coming home with all their cards I believe they had a birdcage for their cards....they came home and found that not all their cards were there and found out that people had actually given them cards....who knows what happened but you never know...sorry just don't want anything to happen to any of us or our cards

I'm not sure what I'm doing about a card box. I'm Italian so of course my entire family thinks I should do the satin bag routine. I guess it's another one of those things I'll figure out eventually...

Who knew there were so many decisions to be made?
