Hello everyone!!

Welcome! There will be lots of answers from everyone here to any of your questions. Good to have you aboard.

welcome-make sure you post a pic of your ring...we'd love to see it.

Congrats on your engagement and welcome to the forum!!!

Hi Amy - Welcome - you've got lot's of time to plan - Have Fun!

Thanks for the wonderful welcome everyone!!

We decided on Punta Cana mainly because we have been talking about planning a trip there for the past year or so, so we figured "what the heck, let's get married there!".

We do not have a resort picked out yet, but are definately going with an All-Inclusive resort. We have heard lots of great things about the Secrets of Excellence (although I have heard it is no longer Secrets), so we may look into that. Does anyone have any suggestions of resorts?

I look forward to getting to know you all more and am open to ANY suggestions you may have!!

My ring:

edited to add: sorry the ring pic is SO huge!! It's saved in Photobucket and I can not make it any smaller!

Amy!

It's so nice to have another Michigan bride, and a Lansing girl at that!

What a gorgeous ring- he did a great job!

I'm a Cabo bride, so I don't know a whole lot about the DR, but that's just one topic on this forum- so much of the info crosses over no matter what your location. Let us know how we can help!

Amy your ring is so pretty and sparkly! My favorite kind of ring! We love seeing pics so I'm glad you posted one! I have heard of the secrets even though I didn't realize it wasn't called that anymore. I know they don't allow children (I believe). But it is supposed to be stunning. I think that is a nice choice. Good luck with all the planning and def keep us updated on everything.

A friend of mine went there for her honeymoon about 2 years ago and had nothing but RAVE reviews for it! We looked at it, but we have a few small children on our guest list....so its a no go for us!

Welcome to the Forum. I recently traveled to Punta Cana and the beaches are absolutely gorgeous!
