I had never even heard about the show till this happened. What was the concept of it?

2 and 4 for sure, they look amazing on you.

Sara that is terrible, I am so sorry about that.

 

I actually found it insanely easy to change my name. I took the original, non-translated marriage certificate to the Health Card office and they changed my name, just like that. Then I did the same at the License office and it was just as easy, no hassle, no translation required, nothing.

 

So I had the exact opposite experience as you and I am so happy that we did the legal there, that way it was our real wedding and not just a symbolic one, and that was important to me.

Your dress is beautiful and I can't believe you got it soo cheap, great deal. Just curious, did your FI happen to pick this one out? I think it would be so cute if it was one of the ones he picked.

You look stunning in that dress, it looks like it was made for you. Perfect pick, it is THE ONE without a doubt.

I agree with you, that story line is sooo stupid. But I guess because they are making it look like she is crazy, that is why she could think the baby is still there. Figure it out already.

So what!!! When I get someone a gift I get them something I think they will like. I don't ask them later what they did with it or where it is, if they didn't like it and they re-gifted it, that is their right, its their gift, I didn't buy it for me, I got it for them to use and they see fit.

Asking for money is tacky, period! I don't care if its a cute little poem or what, its tacky. If you do this, expect that people will be pissed and think you are tacky. I always give money, always, but the 1 invitation I got that said monetary gifts only, I got them a gift. Why, because its rude to ask for money! Also, I think if you expect money (because you asked for it), people will give you LESS money than they would have if you didn't ask because they are obligated to give it to you, instead of giving it to you because they want to.

They look awesome, I can't believe you are doubting it (although I know we all do this to ourselves). Keep them for sure and keep going, they look great.

That is awesome news, I am sure lots of people would pick those resorts for that reason alone.

I think its stunning and I also think that you should have whatever dress you love no matter where you get married. Its YOUR wedding, the dress should be the dress of your dreams and that is that. So if you love it, I totally think you should get it.

I think Melissa got a nose job. They showed her watching the AFR from last year and her nose is totally smaller and flatter (the bridge of her nose). I thought she was prettier before.

Cuba is very different than the other countries, stuff is much better than money for the staff there.

 

Please keep in mind the other people on the resort, like the gardeners, etc..the maids and the wait staff get the best gifts, try to give them to the less obvious people as well. There are lots of trips to go into town and visit schools, if you can do that and save stuff for them its greatly appreciated.

 

The kids can't get candy there, so if you can bring candy, you will be very popular. Also, I brought a curling iron (it cost me $5) for the hairdresser and she literally cried, said it was the nicest thing anyone ever gave her. I also gave her all my left over hair clips and lots of nail polish and make-up because she was going to be doing her niece's hair and make-up for her wedding and the wedding party as well and they don't have access to many things there.

 

Hats, toiletries, any thing with sports teams (they love the Blue Jays) on it is really popular. Also stuff with Canada flags. Panty hose (because they have to wear them to work but pay a fortune for them), kids stuff, pencils, books, etc... I have a list somewhere that I got off a site from people who go there on a regular basis just to bring stuff to the poor people in Cuba, I will see if I can find it and post it here. Great thread.

Your awesome, you should be nominated

Sara, I love the video, that was soo sweet of her to do that. I love looking at your pictures, it makes me wish I was there again. You looked stunning and soo very happy. Your wedding was beautiful

First off BREATHE!!! I suggest you look at Varadero because there will be more flight options from the East and West coast to Varadero than some of the smaller places.

 

Second, we got married at 5 (was supposed to be 4 and they always run late) and it was perfect because it still gave us an hour or so to get pictures done before it got to dark, keep that in mind. Also, we had our reception at dusk (started at 7) on the beach and it was perfect. So what about having the reception at dusk instead.

 

I got married on a Wednesday, I am pretty sure you are right about not doing weddings on Saturday in Cuba. Why do you need a Saturday? Everyday is the weekend in Cuba You can pick any day, what about Friday instead?

 

Have you talked to a travel agent yet? They can tell you which resorts are adults only, they have a few of them for sure.

Yes, its on many lists as a first dance song

Damn it, why Ed I just don't think he is right for her, he is so geeky and weird looking and just not cool.

Wow, what is she going to do I wish it would just happen, but at the same time I don't want it to be over. lol I am a loser, lol.

OMG....If you have not seen it, do not read this yet.

 

 

 

 

 

Just said no to Kyptin WTF I hope she also says no to Ed, he sucks.

Great job again Juan

So does Nick find out anytime soon that the baby is his. I hate this story line, I don't get why Sharon lied. The whole show is pissing me off lately, I really hope it gets better soon.

Stunning!!! You love amazing and so happy and in love, I was so emotional while watching this.

 

Amazing job as usual Juan, you are a master.

There is a market, its not every day though, I can't remember what day it is, but there is also little stores as well. To be honest I never really checked either out, so I don't know what they have or what the prices are. Sorry, hopefully one of the other girls can help you with this one.

Good point Abbie, that could be really confusing to some.
