Wow...thanks for the great review. That's so crazy that your mom was late but at least she made it!! It sounds like you guys had a blast. I can't wait to see pictures!!! Did you go to the plantation? Just curious cuz that's where my reception is...

Wow that does seem like a lot of money for such a short period of time. But, I guess it is your wedding day!!

As long as she can see your faces in the email. I think she prints them to get their certificate. Alright thanks. I feel way better about it!! I e-mailed them to her yesterday - no response yet...

Thanks for the reassurance ladies! Now, I'm wondering if I need to get a thicker garment bag? David's gave me a real thin one with my dress? Think that'll work?

That would be a major problem if I didn't get those out! Yikes! :-) I'll let you know what she says. I'll really be in trouble - mine is less than 6 weeks away!! Can ya tell I'm freakin out a little?

Thanks ladies... I'm just going to burn a few songs for the ceremony. I'll let the DJ take over at the reception. I'm glad to hear it worked out!

I'm bring CD's for the ceremony (Chandlyn has a CD player & she'll control what song to play when) and I'm having the DJ for our reception!

I say stick with the junior suite. Save your $$ for something else... You may even be able to upgrade for free!! We also booked the jr suite and are hoping to upgrade. Cross your fingers!

Here's a letter with the itinerary that I'm going to send out to my guests a couple weeks before we leave. Hope this works!

I'm getting married at 4 too. I think it'll be fine - don't stress it!

Thanks.... super cute!! I'm going to check it out. I want one too!!

I'm flying air jamaica and I'm curious about what it says on their website regarding baggage. It says you can have a carry on and also a light garment bag... Do you think they'll say anything about my dress?? I feel like it's in a huge garment bag?

Quote: Originally Posted by jmhein I emailed them to Chandlyn but she seemed to imply she would prefer the originals by mail so I mailed them to her as well... you probably should check with her to be sure about that! I did hear back from her yesterday and they arrived safe and sound, so hooray! I will be legally married in Jamaica in 5.5 weeks!!!! AAAGH! I have to lose 10 pounds in 5.5 weeks!!!! Ok, I'll double check with her and see if I need to mail them. Time is flying by under 6 weeks and still so much to do!!!! I totally pigged out over the holidays on chocolate!! I have to really watch these lase few weeks too!!

Quote: Originally Posted by jmhein I'm just going to go with whatever's provided! I am already worried about our RIDICULOUS luggage weight restrictions out of Canada.... booooo!!! I'll let you know when she e-mails me back...

I'm trying to figure out the same thing... I'm leaning towards no veil with just flowers.

I voted for #2 but I also like #3!

Lizz - That poem is very sweet. That's a good idea to have it set up at your ceremony. I think I may blow up a picture of my Mom, put it in a frame, and set it up at my ceremony. I don't think I can have anything said though, too sad...

So happy for you! Thanks... I'm getting so nervous about all the little stuff left to do!! I just can't wait to get there and have a cocktail on the beach. Less than 6 weeks, AAHHHH!!

I'm going to e-mail Chandlyn and see what she says. I already have so much stuff to bring...

We had our's notarized at a currency exchange, $1 per document. JMhein - I just e-mailed my docs to Chandlyn - Do you have to mail them too? If so, I gotta do that ASAP.

I was going to burn a couple CD's for during the ceremony. Those should be ok, right? Chandlyn said she has a CD player... Are you just saying there may be problems if the DJ used the burnt cd's?

What is everyone doing for centerpieces during their receptions? Has anyone asked Chandlyn if she has anything to choose from? I wanted to bring some glass candle holders but I'm afraid they'll break. I know a few of the tables will have the flowers for the ceremony but I'm not sure about the others??

I'm short and my fiance is tall so I'm wearing wedge heels. We'll see how it goes!!
