Copita

EW! He gave her all that stuff and is asking for it back? That is a whole new level of jerk there! She is way better off!

Hey chicas... I belong to another forum and one of our members just posted his pics from his trip from Eden H... EdenH April 2008 pictures, photos, and videos, from friends & fun on webshots

Am heading to DR next week to decide if we are going to do the beach reception or not. I will def let you guys know what we decide I'm getting so excited!

That's really crazy. Def let them know that you already put a deposit down and see what they say. I wonder what happened between them that caused such tension.

It looks beautiful!

Congrats and welcome back! Sounds like you had a great wedding! Post some pics up when you have time!

I didn't think a judge was needed for a symbolic ceremony, so I e-mailed back and asked if we actually needed a judge. She said "No, you need a minister!" I am getting frustrated! I can't get straight answers or explanations! We are having a symbolic ceremony and no judge is necessary. Our WC even told us that. We are bringing our own minister down to officiate our marriage and the WC said that was fine. I would talk to them again because it really isn't necessary to have a judge if you're only doing a 'symbolic ceremony.' Maybe she misunderstood your email?

I've really got to find a photographer in Punta Cana. I am not sure what we are going to do yet!

Lovely pictures! Thanks for sharing. I love the black and white one where you guys are kissing on the beach.

Welcome to the forum! Am a 7/5/08 bride, too!

I just heard this story on the news this morning. What a sicko! But I think the wife must have known. 24 years... she HAD to know. EW.

I don't think it's tacky. You do see them every day so why not just leave it on their desks?

I have no idea waht I am doing for centerpieces. I know that I want a lot of candles and flower petals but no clue what to do. Are you guys making yours to take with you or just having the resort set them up/decorate for you? I am so lost, guys! Do most people make their own and then transport them to the wedding?

^^ I'm not sure why that is chain resorts do this. For instance, I'm getting married at Iberostar Punta Cana, which has two other resorts adjoined and if our guests stay at another one, we have to pay a 'day pass' for them. It IS strange. Ask the WC about it. Glad I could be of help! Oh and those day passes also go for any guests staying outside fo the hotel. i.e. if your guests stay at a different hotel in Puerto Plata and come to your wedding, you have to pay a day pass for them. Strange but true! So encourage all your guests to stay at your resort!

We booked out trip to PC to finalize our wedding contract and the food, music, photography, etc. soon. Once this is done I know I will feel much better. I still need to order favors, J has to get his suit and am mailing out our invitations tomorrow. Oh and I need shoes for my dress.

I say, just let her have the collage at your bridal showe if she already made it. It's not that major. As for the wedding, mothers are SO pushy!!! Mine seriously is insane about mine and is always pushing her ideas on me and gets mad when I reject them. BUT she's not paying for my wedding. We are. If she was paying for it, I'd prob let her do whatever she wanted (with my input, of course). But since she's not, I just say, hello, it's my wedding and I"m funding it, so no. LOL. Wait, I want to edit this... If she were paying. I would let her do a LOT of what she wanted but not everything. LOL. Just tell her straight up what you want. Mothers are really sensitive so just try to talk to her. I wish I could take my own advice. Mine is driving me nuts! You are not alone!

I remember when this happened. He was shot and killed the night before his wedding. WTF! It is wrong and the cops shouldn't have been let off. They did kill can innocent man and it's such a sad sad story.

Jenny, I am soooo late to this thread. Glad everything worked out. I wouldn't go out of my way to be friends with that chick. If she's in your group of friends, be civil, but dont' do the dinner shindigs or go out of your way to be nice to her or plan playdates/etc. Sounds like everything has smoothed over now but he needs to realize it hurts you when he is hanging out with her. She may say she has no ill intention but they DO have a past and that story about her wrestling him really skeeved me and I don't even know you guys LOL. I hate girls like that! You looked hot in the wedding pics so I'm sure she was jealous and looked terrible that day (lol) and so you win! Again, she doesn't sound like a "friend" at all to be chummy with so keep your distance and def have him keeping him distance. Those are the kind of girls we don't want around our men! LOL

A cruise would be a great idea. An "icebreaker" in the beginning. and activities throughout! This sounds so fun!

Lucy & LScilley, thanks for sharing your pictures!

Punta Cana, DR bride here, too! Welcome to the forum!

I think the brochure is a great idea. When I sent out my save the dates, I included a letter with the most current info on travel agencies, passport and hotel info, etc.

Maybe she expected you to fawn all over her coming to your wedding! Not so! You are going to have a blast with your very happy friends who aren't "debbie downers" --haha--I love that term! Listen to this one... my friend kept talking up how she was so excited to come to my wedding and couldn't wait to buy her ticket. Well I sent her all the STDate and invite info and she hasn't said a word to me since. I even invited her over for drinks and she never responded! WTF? People are so weird! Crazytown! Who cares though. Fun fiesta times await us!

LOL Thanks for the advice, ladies. It IS so annoying!!! It actually ended up happening AGAIN the day that I posted that! It's crazy. I just would never do that at someone else's wedding!

CONGRATS, LISA!!!!!!![/COLOR]
