Spazz

I bought my sister this necklace (now on sale for $7.49): apt. 9 Sterling Silver Starfish Pendant But, now this one is such a great price (originally $125, on sale for $37.49!), I'm thinking of getting it: 10k White Gold Diamond Accent Starfish Pendant

Aww, Shelley, I'm sorry about your bad night. I hope your cat is doing better today!

Yay!!! Have a wonderful day, Jill. I can't wait to hear all about it

Don't worry too much about it. I think you technically have 1 year from your wedding to send them out.

Soooo, we're doing a legal ceremony here for my dad and step mom tomorrow and our friend will do a personal ceremony for us in the bvi, but we won't do any paperwork there. And the scans came back good. She had some tumors go away, some shrink and the largest didn't get any bigger. So progress. Thanks so much for the kind words and for helping me see what I already knew. You guys rock! That is great news! Have a wonderful time tomorrow!!!

Love it!!! Great job, Jenn!

to the forum, Anne!

You girls can give us all of the details right before we leave for our May weddings!

I am so sorry you're going through this. I agree with the other ladies...you should get married in front of your dad and stepmom. I think it would mean so much to both them and to you and your FI.

Denise, I was undecided between the 2 also. I chose RIU Ocho Rios because it seems to me that it has more to offer (restaurants, bars, etc). I have also heard a few negative things about trying to plan a wedding at Negril (hard to get in touch with the WC, won't guarantee a reception). Don't get me wrong, they are both beautiful, but I am very happy that I chose RIU Ocho Rios (especially because there are more than 10 of us on this forum that are going there, so it helps with planning!). Whichever you decide on, I'm sure you will have a great wedding!

My middle name is my mom's maiden name. She is one of 5 girls and wanted to pass down her father's last name in some way. So, me and all of my sisters' middle name is her maiden name. I think it's a great idea!

Shelley, I'm so sorry to hear this. But, you and Amos need to make the decision that is best for the 2 of you. You will still have a beautiful wedding no matter where or when it is. I'm thinking of you. Let me know if there is anything I can do.

to the forum! Happy planning!!!

to the forum! I am getting married at ROR next May. We have tons of info here about the resort, so browse through the "Jamaica" section of the forum. Happy planning!!!

to the forum, Jen! I'm getting married at the RIU a month after you. Let us know how we can help you plan!!!

to the forum! Happy planning!!!

Heidi, I'm so glad we were able to make you happier. You have been through so much and deserve a nice weekend away with Reggie.

For a reception at the Plantation were you going to have to pay anything extra? If so, maybe Chandlyn can accommodate you by maybe setting up your reception on the beach... Is that possible (I think I heard it cost extra to hold anything on the beach due to setup)? Chandlyn as the wedding coordinator should be able to help you out. I would put some heat on her...she needs to be more helpful to you, if she can not accommodate you at the resort than she should be able to provide you with other options...even off the resort if that is what it takes. I would point out that you are bring A LOT of business to the resort just for your wedding and you would hate to have to look into other options, possibly moving to another resort altogether….I have the email for the marketing coordinator for the whole Riu resort chain so If Chandlyn does not look like she helping, maybe you could go higher. (All I do is handle complaints from customers for the company I work for, so I’m like a professional complainer, if you need some help let me know). Everything is going to work out for you J I agree completely! Chandlyn needs to offer you other options. You are bringing 75 guests to the resort, which is a lot of business, and they need to find a way to accomodate you. I think either you and/or your TA needs to get in touch with either Chandlyn and/or someone higher up at RIU. The other option is what Carly mentioned...go somewhere off site. Mobride will have info for you about Evita's, so that could be an option.

I didn't do a site visit. I wish I could have, but time/money didn't allow it. I know that plenty of girls here did not and had beautiful weddings, so I wouldn't worry.
