Hey! Thank you for listing that, thats around the same price I got for March 2011, It just soundes so expensive for 3 nights....i went to excellence playa in sept and for 2 of us for 6nights was 2400..i guess cause it was off season. I am doing turqoise . Are you having a party when you get back to Phila?

Thank You Lori! We are have symbolic & I'd planned to be there 3 days early....one question down...50 million to go! haha!

I also wanted to meet with the officiant, but she told me that she didn't usually meet with the bride and groom prior to the wedding. I had her contact info and we exchanged emails. She actually said that she would be at the resort the night before for a wedding and we could have met then. However, I was busy with my catamaran trip. So I didn't even see her until I walked down the aisle. It was ok, but I would have liked to have met her first. I put together our script but she also had a script that we could have used if I prefered. Do you know who your officiant is? If it is Rosa, I have her script and can probably share it with you.

p.s I knew when reading your post you had to be from Philly because u said down the shore! ha...its only down the shore to us...i dont think people in other states call their shore that. lol

OK, charter plane seems interesting....how do you arrange that?

For those of you that have been there, what did those using an iPod do for first dance, etc. I love the Bose idea, it's super small, but no mic. Just wondering how you handled those things.

Also, on my group contract, it said private check-in, and "welcome cocktail". How did that work? I tried to set up the cocktail and was told it wasn't an event. Not a huge deal, but I thought it was a group perk.

Also, what did you past brides think of the officiant? I'm worried about a really strong accent. Also, for my faith, I'm more comfortable with a male officiant - just my image of my wedding day, I guess. Anyone know if there is a male officiant available?

Thanks!
