OCEAN HOTELS - by H10 and Hodelpa Hotels & Resorts is their website I chose it for a number of considerations. First we narrowed down our country to the Dominican, then area (PC), then we looked at the resorts in that area. We chose Ocean because 1. it is fairly new (2005), 2. the price was reasonable for our guests 3. I had heard good reviews of the resort and specifically weddings there. That helped clinch it for me. Hubby doesn't care... he just needs to know where to show up, LOL

We are getting married at Ocean Blue in Punta Cana. From what I hear it's an absolutely fantastic spot, and my TA is actually down there right now on a site inspection.

Not much to go on here as I can't see #1 all that well. I would say #1, but maybe bring both, and wear #1 at the ceremony and #2 at the reception!

woo hoo, that's 3 of us now at Ocean Blue/Sand! And just before me! Awesome!

I'm assuming you are the dragonfly that's on Debbie's Dominican forum? Well then we kind of "know" each other already LOL. Welcome over (again) you will love it here.

Welcome!!! I'm getting married at the same resort April/08! YAY!

A halter style is a great option for girls with big hoots. Believe me. Haha!!

Oh, Melissa! It looks like you had sooooo much fun!!! Fantastic pictures!! Were they taken with the resort photog? I can't remember!

Holy crap! HAHAHA!! That's nuts! Were they living together and everything? Wow. I'd send him the thank you with an enclosed dog collar! HAHAHAHA!!!!

You add the weather.com feed, then pick your city that you want to report. I know nothing about code, but I'm sure there's a way to go to the actual website (weather.com) and add it on to your site.

Welcome and Congrats! There aren't a whole lot of DR brides here, so we have to stick together!!! I love your monogram too, well done!

OMG that's so soon! Congrats!!

Have the cup sewn in. Ug.. me too, except 36DDD. Impossible to find good fitting bras in this size, never mind pretty. I'm looking into a reduction, but I hear there is a wait list where I live, so I dunno if I'll be able to get it done before the wedding

OOO Me too if you don't mind! Please pm me the info!

Woo Hoo!! congrats girl!! we are going to do this too, but I think closer to the time we leave (like maybe a week or so before?). What made you do it so early?

Jenetta, did you try the dress on elsewhere before you purchased it on ebay?

bah... they want to pay more for loyalty go ahead eh? Crazy stuff!

WOW, that dress is going to look awesome on you!! I've added their store to my ebay stores, so I'll keep an eye on them for when it comes time for my dress purchase!

Those look like they would be so easy to do DIY actually!

All my STD's are out now, and I'm starting to deal with family/friends saying... oh I could have gotten you a better deal with so and so... ugh I just told them to call my TA with their ACTUAL quotes that they got from their people, and if they are legit, she will try to match, otherwise, do your own thing by all means

Welcome fellow Canucker! You will find lots of info here, though not so much on the Dominican, as it's not as popular with US brides. Happy planning!!

Look, I won twice!! I only tried like 3 or 4 times, so that's good odds for me. Like AKH says, sometimes only 2 or 3 people play the daily one, so your odds are better, but you don't win a whole lot of points. I got some points dontated to me at the beginning so I could play, because I really wanted to send someone a gift.

And if he can't, he needs to shut up because for us, this is what we want and it's also a method of budget control. ... Us too! I wrote about it before.. his thing is because he's afraid to fly. So, ya, let's cancel the whole thing because YOU don't want to fly. Stick to yer guns. My parents aren't going because they aren't "adventure people" haha. But they are cool with our decision and are happy for us regardless.
