Any 2011 Brides out there?

jrb... It seems ages ago since you contacted RPRM, thats not very good customer service! Especially for such an important day.... Probably a daft question but have you been back on to them? x

Michelle... maybe ive subconciously always had an idea? but ive really not thought about it until yesterday!!! Haha x

I am about to book Cecilia Dumas to do my engagement pics in June, if the pics are nice, I will hire her for my wedding and trash the dress, if not, then..I guess Sascha Gluck will be the back up. However, if I win the lotto or the stock market goes up 50% this year, I will go with E. Medina (heehee....it is so good to have hope and stay positive). So far, I have no reply from Barcelo or Ocean Turquesa...But I guess I will visit both resorts in June and make a decision on the location and the date. It is hard when u are a chinese and u wanna follow the chinese supertitious calendar.

Congrats Bonnie! And i will pray that you win the lottery..hehehe

Maybe I can give you some tips on how to win it..heheheh

Awww!! thanks very lovely!! michelle2011!! I can't wait to see your stunning dress!! Did you get shoes and everything with it too?

Nicyx can't wait to see your dress!! have you gone dress shopping yet?

michelle2011- I heard the place you are staying is very nice as well.

No i didn't get my shoes yet. I'm waiting for all the summer sandals to come out in the shops. I have an idea what i would like so it's just finding them... Did you get your's?

I am trying to decide if i want to wear any jewellery on the day too, earrings, small or big, necklace or no necklace, braclet.... hhhmmm decisions decisions. But good ones lol

Prettypigpig your have to let us know what you thought on your site visit. I wish i could do a site visit. I'm just going on look and reviews. But i do love our hotel. I hope you do too )

So we were about to book Del Sol as our photographer, and then I asked some friends how much they paid for their photographer, and realized that Del Sol is wayyyyyy over what most people pay! So we have decided to keep looking. We are now looking at Victor Herrera, Moments that Matter (they haven't responded to me though and it's been a couple of days!), and Sascha Gluck.

Has anyone here started their website? I know Linhy has, yours is awesome! We're planning to start ours this weekend, because I have a friend who is going to design our save the dates for us (we'll print them on vista print), and she needs the address to put on them. We don't plan to send them out until May, but she wants to get started on the designing part:)

So Ariadna from the Valentin Imperial contacted me about their 2011 pricing!! But holy crap.. the moonlight package went from $899 last year to 1,099. I know that's not a huge jump but come on! Moneys money!

michelle2011- No I haven't gotten my either. We still got some time I guess. Are you planning to leave your dress like that or make it less puffy? Yeah I was debating too no necklace or necklace. I probably won't do necklace because the dress already draws attention and with the designs on it too. Just earrings and a bracelet. Make it simple.

Aww too bad we are not getting married around the same time or else i would love to meetup with you!!!!! I think we are the few out there that selected a dress that is bigger then usually for a dest. wedding. But you know its our day gotta make it right! right? eheh
