welcome to the forum jen!! and congratulations on the engagement...that is a great time to propose. regarding caibbean, the weather is always warm but be careful of hurrican season...

ali, thanks for sharing your engagement story with us...that part of paris is a little interesting

it is in a fantastic location...the hotel is a little run-down and could use a facelift but it is a fantastic value. my sister is leaving for theh resort at 3pm today...let me know if you want me to have her take any pics for you or anything.

I will try to post some pictures as well - they probably need to resized. you are so funny ann...they must have been like so surprised that you tracked them down.

We could probably do on a certain day, or definitely a certaian weekend - don't you think? Or if everyone else can pull it off - I can just catch up since I will be travelling all over the place for the holidays! how about an approximate time...? like 4-8 PST...that give a good range..and most east coasters will be home getting ready to go to bed by then.

don't overclick because i could get in trouble...just click once or twice...hehe.

welcome to the forum!!! my friend is getting married in maui 2008 (they got engaged at our DW)...let us know how we can help!

I just wanted to let everyone know, i added some ads to the forum. I made them visible to members that are not logged-in or not registered....so it shouldn't affect any of the members. I am going to upgrade the server next year and it is quite a bit more per month so the ads will help off-set the cost as we will get about 10 cents each time the ad is clicked...so far we have made .70...wippee!

just do 1 per person. are you going to make them look like the pics posted? Quote: Originally Posted by gkashmira So as many of you know I've been lookig into doing cupcakes instead of a wedding cake.

They offer all the same flavors except tres leches so we're going to do an assortment of Devil's Chocolate, Vanilla, Lemon and Mocha - yum! Anyway noqw I have to figure out how many to order. Should I order one per person or two per person? I know not everyone will eat them but it would be awful for people not to get enough either!

Can't wait!!! you have no idea how happy ann will be to see you on the forum.. edyta stayed at riu jalisco and said it was super fun... welcome and let us know how we can help!

photog, vidio florist cake musicians Quote: Originally Posted by SarahMc I'm going to Dreams at the end of January for a site visit so will try to take pics of all the places for receptions and post them.

Mariana said she'd be there, and I already have Juan booked for the wedding, so don't know if I actually need to meet with him in person. What about cake people? I've heard Sweet Dreams a lot on the forum...is there someone else I should contact as well? Oh, and flowers too...is there something I'm missing? I don't have a coordinator besides Marianna, but I figured with all of you I didn't need one ) Sarah M

She's rude. (please read a LOT of sarcasm into that one). Thanks girls - I'll just keep trying. smilies always help convey the sarcasm.

How cool if we could get everyone online at the same time who did the secret santa and we all could open our gifts together and post what we got.... Course, it would drive me crazy looking at a box I couldn't open.. lol Quote: Originally Posted by RAENJAY That's a stellar idea! We would have to maybe do like a weekend afternoon/evening or late evening for us east coast girls..... great idea ladies... how about the saturday or sunday befor ex-mas...like around 4pm pst (so 7pm est)

Quote: Originally Posted by AQHARIDER How many people do you think could be at each of these Tammy? i would say you could fit... cascade fits bout 14-15 tables (10 each) clustered together and oceana can fit 12 tables scattered around

Quote: Originally Posted by LALA Thanks Sarah! Cascade terrace is the more private one, right? oceana is more private, cascade is next to the beach and bigger.

hi kate, you are going to have a larger wedding so portofino is out. cascade terrace is a large area next to the beach, the beach, and oceana terrace. Quote: Originally Posted by LALA We finally got through all the drama and decided on 12/8/07 as our date at Dreams. I'm so relieved that's finally decided. I think we are going to do a site visit in Feb to pick all the event spots. What are the capacities on the different reception sites at Dreams?

hi amy, great to see you on! yes, the do not send pics sometimes because they can vary alot depending on the season...if you see flowers you like, ask her to price them for you. tammy Quote: Originally Posted by AMYR Hi everyone! I am getting married at Dreams on April 15, 2007. Does anyone have Mariana as a coordinator? She sent me the banquet kit but no prices. Any information available? Thanks, Amy R. P.S.- as soon as I learn how to put pics on computer I will. I'm kind of computer illiterate.

Quote: Originally Posted by LALA I am go temporarily hijack this thread - sorry. I am emailed Maye twice about doing coordination - just day of - but haven't heard back from her. I know I read she's getting busy - but really, I just want to hire her! I only have her email from her website. Does anyone have any other email address for her? Did it take her awhile to get back to others? it can take a little while to hear back from her...also since your wedding is not until dec. 2008 she is probably taking care of the weddings she has in the early spring right now...you should hear back from her soon...if not in a by next week i will shoot her an email.

Quote: Originally Posted by RAENJAY Maybe I'm blind, but don't want to miss the drop dead in the mail date - is there one? I'm shopping this weekend, and don't want to miss the deadline... Or are we all supposed to send on one day? how about ship it by Dec. 15th.?

yeah, maybe try to send it from someplace tricky...i don't know...it would be fun the do a "reveal" all at once but i am open.
