Just a heads up ladies that one of our favorite members, Jessalyn, was featured in Destination I Do Magazine and mentioned the forum...YAY! I have attached the article! Destination Weddings, Romance Travel and Honeymoons -Destination I Do Magazine Official Web Site tammy Destinationwedding IDOmagsm02.pdf

just a heads up that the sale rate of $350 per night for double occupancy ends on monday...try to get as many people booked at that rate as possible...

i would be totally annoyed if my fiance soon to be husband wanted to go to the clubs without me...it would be one thing if it was a guys deep sea fishing outting but going to the clubs with his very single guy friends seems very insensitive.

Here's the contact info: [email protected] ph: 949-338-8075

they aren't a gay friendly but they do allow same sex...at least last i heard. jamaica in general is very non gay friendly. there have been alot of beatings etc. i do not recommend it for my gay clients.

pm ta dina..she does alot of cruises.

also, one thing to realize...you can use a TA to help you book your site visit. like i can book with hotels.com, apple for a client at the same rate if not lower and get paid a commission and help your reservation if there are problems. with apple, it is a better idea to have a TA book as then you only need to put a dep. down but if you booked directly through apple you would have to pay in full. you can also book hotel portion only with a TA on apple but cannot through their website. it is a good chance to do a site visit to see the resorts but also test out a TA and how they work...

Sorry it isnt linking to the source because you have their email addys not their websites.

margaret, you look just beautiful. such a glowing bride! i adore elizabeth medina's pics. i think she is so talented. great color, great emotion...perfect!

i went symbolic...dh does not like needles.

sometimes when people release the rooms they have blocked they go back into the inventory so the resort will have rooms available. hope that helps. tammy

wow...thanks everyone...

If a person didn't feel it was worth coming to mexico with the amount of things we are planning, I'd rather they just not come. But, I think it's great to throw in things like this. I'm sure it was wonderful & they really appreciated it. If someone isn't planning on doing anything, I still think it can be great. I wouldn't want to make a big trip to someone's wedding & not get to spend time with them. But, we'll all be at the same hotel. For me it's all about the time together. I don't really care what we are doing. I don't see how we can not have a great time staying at an AI on a beautiful beach. i forgot to add, that is just my co-dependant side...i am the type of hostess that wants everyone to be happy, cover all my bases etc. i have poker parties and the food is always top notch, try to have people to help babysit for the parents that bring their kids etc...just my personality...now my husband, he could care less about all the stuff planned (except deep sea fishing). i looked at it like this: this was one of the few time all of our friends and family were going to vacation with us and i wanted to make it stick out as an experience of a lifetime...i wanted them to go home thinking "that was the best wedding AND vacation i have ever been to!".

Quote: Originally Posted by amyh however, our guests are attending our wedding and I want them to have a great time. that is how i felt...if they were gonna spend the $$ and vacation time to be with us i was gonna make it worth it. sailing/snorkel trips spa day deep sea fishing atv mexican fiesta welcome dinner brunch with the married couple they could choose to do as much or little as they wanted.. but the flip side of it...i didnt get the fantastic, expensive cake or the expensive flowers or lounge set up or fireworks...i had to choose to fit my budget.

Quote: Originally Posted by amyh IMHO, if I went to a DW that didn't have some sort of reception/gathering/party, I'd be a little annoyed. i have to agree with this...people are paying thousand sof $$ for your wedding...i am sure you can do something private...

the basics are great to have for everyone... joy of cooking betty crocker cookbook then i love certain recipes from: barefoot contessa(ina garten). her recipes are simple and easy to make michael chiarello -also simple italian flavors and this vietnamese cookbook i got from cost plus

just another warning that Miguel Mayo tried to register under another name again. if he pm's you, please let us know.

jen, what hot photos miss sexy! sarah, your work is really amazing...classy and artistic! love it!

Oceana isn't oceanfront, but everyone with a small guest list seems to have it at Oceana. Any reason in particular? Is it more private? Do you think you could hang lanterns at Piñata Terrace? it is a great place to have a private event. i think most people that go oceanfront choose cascade because it can accomodate more people. it really is just a size thing as they are a stones throw from each other.

Thank you! i like maye alot. i guess it depends on what you want to use her for and how elaborate of a wedding do you want. the wc at dreams are pretty great but they work as a great team with maye all the time.
