GREAT site...thanks so much for the link!

!!! I probably chatted with you on Brides.com. I was on that site before I found this one, and trust me, this one is so addicting! I am also getting married at Riu Ocho Rios, but not til May 16, 2008. Can't wait to hear all of your plans! By the way, I also live in PA...right outside of Philly. My FI's grandmom lives in Levittown...small world!

Have a great first day!

to the forum! I am a Jamaica 2008 bride too! You will find tons of information here...let us know how we can help.

to the forum! I am getting married at the RIU in Ocho Rios next May. Sorry, I can't be of any help with your hotel, but I'm sure there are girls here who can help. Happy Planning!

This is my BM's dress (mine is dark pink). It comes with straps. It was relatively inexpensive...$120. It is Jasmine Group (Jasmine Bridal) B2 line.

Yeah! We ordered the BMs dresses last night! After much hassle, finally everyone loved this one. I never expected a pink dress (I was leaning towards light green), but this looked great on all the girls and they all said it was comfortable. The color is "peony" and it looks different in person. Plus it was only $120! Also, it comes with straps, which my SIL was requesting. PERFECT!

I am DEFINITELY planned on bringing copies of all my emails with Chandlyn, so there is no confusion when I get down there.

I'm going through the same thing. My dad passed away last September and one of the reasons I'm having a DW is to not have to deal with a "traditional" wedding without him here. I was going to walk by myself, but now don't want to. I thought it would be nice to ask my dad's brother to walk me, but I just found out last night that he's not coming (no reason given). I thought I'd be ok, but I got really upset when I heard that. I am definitely using a memory frame and attaching it to my bouquet. As for who's walking me down, it's still up in the air. I don't want to ask someone just to have someone, you know? I want it to be special (though nothing can be as special as your dad in my opinion). This post will probably not help you at all, just wanted to let you know that I'm having the same issue. Hopefully your mom's brother will be able to come. Let us know how it works out!

Cait! Congrats on booking your wedding date and location...2 of the hardest things to do. I'm sure you will find tons of information here. Let us know how we can help you plan!

Just finally heard back from Chandlyn... there is NO FEE to use an outside florist! Also, there is a $2.00 per bag fee for the front desk to distribute your OOT bags.

Tara! I am not familiar with that resort, but there are girls here who can definitely help. Happy planning!
