Spazz

We're moving to a Sandals for that part of the trip! So, planning-wise, I just wanted to know if we were supposed to have things like the reception dinner and spa reservations booked by now, but I emailed a Riu wedding coordinator and all she said was don't worry about any of that till 1 month before...is it better to call them then? Should I be worried? I heard Negril is awesome, I can't wait to hear all about it! I booked my reception and spa appointments already. I am pretty sure most of us did. If you don't want to wait til 1 month before, tell the WC that you would feel better getting confirmation now. I was too nervous to wait til April to book stuff.

I think we just have to do pre-cana and then it can be blessed. I am waiting for a call from the church to find out more. When you find out more, let us know. I'm definitely going to have to get our marriage blessed when we get back from Jamaica. Both of our moms really want us to; and I guess I need to now if I want to be a godmother in the future!

I'm having she talks about it: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t11534 I haven't heard of anyone having their reception there though...sorry!

Here are some sites that I had bookmarked: Beach Wedding Attire: Drawstring Linen Pants, Cotton & Linen Shirts, Shorts - Island Importer Beach Wedding Shirts | Guayaberas, Linen Pants, Boys Linen Shirts, Mexican Wedding Shirts. Welcome to MyGuayabera.com Men's Cuban Guayabera Shirt, Mexican Wedding Shirts, Guayaberas, Guayamisas Old Navy, Macys, Banana Republic, etc. should be coming out with spring/summer clothes soon and I'm sure they will have linen stuff too!

I can't wait to read it! We are trying to get as much planning done early cause we have our first baby coming in July, gonna be a busy 12 months! Well, looking forward to lots of information exchanged with everyone! Welcome! Congrats on your baby!!! Mo did a review and it was really great. Here you go: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t11534 Let us know what you need help planning!

That sucks you're sick, I'm sorry, Christa. You should definitely go in there armed with 5 boxes of tissues, 8 things of cough drops, the works and play it up.

We looked there too, but it was full that weekend. So my only question is do I really have to wait until a month before to plan all the details? That seems crazy to me and I think I might go insane before that! If you have your heart set on the ROR, you should try to call them. I originally had the 12:00 slot, but then there were 2 cancellations and I was able to move to 4:00. This was in the past month, so they may be available, but not on the website. As you read more on the forum (especially the Jamaica section), you'll see that most of us are crazy and are doing as much as we can before we go there. Let us know what you want to plan and we'll try to help you out!

I'm giving them to my BMs, our moms and to people that are helping with the wedding (hairdresser, reader, etc). I wanted to do 1 for each female guest, but that's out of my budget!

Thanks for the coupon code, Heidi! I know how my paycheck is getting spent

Great salad bars, fresh fruit, and bread if all else fails ) Sounds good to me! Thanks for letting us know, Jamy!

Quote: Originally Posted by Heidi Just something I'm curious about...I hear an AWFUL lot about jerk chicken, steak, lobster, shrimp, etc at the ROR. For those of you who have gone...did you notice any vegetarian food? I'm not a particularly picky eater, but I think I'd need to prepare myself if I'll be eating pasta & salad all week long! Ditto! I keep hearing about that damn Jerk Hut...lol!

Lizz - May 16, 2008 10 white 10 fuschia Thanks

Thanks Carly & Heidi! I'll let you know how many and colors as soon as I get a sec.

Remind me again, how much are they? (Sorry, I have no time to read back through the posts!).

Quote: Originally Posted by chicago88 I hope this works, i'm not really sure how to post this stuff? That is exactly the kind of list I was going to make up for the dj! Thanks so much for posting!!!

Quote: Originally Posted by carlymcmullen Yeah, I had no clue either. Seems kinda silly to me, but I didn't make the rules! I don't want to get too much into it, but I feel the same way you do about the Church - I was born into it, went to Catholic school for 12 years, believe in God etc., just don't like some of the things the church does, i.e. this exact rule!!! Let us know what you end up deciding!

I think if it's not a huge extra expense or burden, you should do it. It sounds as if it would mean a lot to Matt. By the way, thanks for telling us about this, I never realized that was the case about becoming godparents. I told my mom we would get our marriage blessed, but now I guess I have to make sure we really do it!

I love your new siggy. He is just soooo adorable!!!
