Oh, and I read your post about your BM dresses, I really liked them. I'm going to order a few pairs for Mexico.

You can't find a photog? Oh my goodness, that blows. Have you talked to local people to maybe fly them down?
I still can't believe your BM made you return their dresses. I'm sorry but I've been a BM lots, and there were plenty of dresses that looked like sh*t, but the thing about being a BM- You don't bloody-well complain about the dress. Even if you don't like it, it doesn't matter.
Grrrr, for a wedding in 2010, I have to wear a tie-dyed jean-made out of jean pants- dress, do you hear me complaining?
Some people have no class.
LoL, sorry, that just pisses me off about your BMs. Especially when the dresses are beautiful.

I am presently waiting on package prices from my TA too! She has informed me that the prices for US3000 ( a cheaper charter flight out of Baltimore) wont be available until the end of the month. Can anyone out there give me the range for your packages at any of the Barcelo hotels? I will probably have guests staying at the entire range...

I just got my package quote from my TA. However, she got screwed up on it, and quoted us departure on the day that we want to get married!!!!
So, now I'm waiting for my new quote. But, the prices ranged from $3000.00 to $3200.00.
My question is though: looking through the travel books from last season, as in this season here, with the early bird bookings, it is the same amount of savings that I got with our group rate.
I don't understand what the group rate actually does considering that it seems like nothing.

~~ | well, from my experience i wish we never bothered with a group rate, the discount is not great. all the guests who didn't book with our group rate got a way better deal (waiting a little later to book) and they are on the same flight as us! needless to say, the guest who did book with our group rate, are a bit choked.

Plus, you know when you look through the travel books, and they say stuff like- book early and save $380 per couple or something like that? Well, our discounted group rate is saving us less than that.
I am torn, I don't know what to do.
Oh, on a side note. I went out and I bought my bikinis for the trip- total of eight new pairs!!!!

~~ | all the advice I could give you is if I could do it again, I never would have done it. It was a big hassle. I thought people would appreciate have an agent to go to, but most people seemed to want to find better deals on their own.
YAY new bikinis !
