This totally sucks & I'm sorry that you're going thru this. Maybe this was her last ditch effort to try to get you to change your mind & have your DW in Jamaica. She probably did it thinking that she'll make you feel guilty & you guys will fold. Since you've been together so long & you've always gotten along, I can't imagine why she'd have a problem with you now. You said maybe its an island thing, but maybe its just a "mother" thing. For instance once we got married I noticed that my MIL sometimes try's to put DH in awkward situations & trys to see whose side he'll take when her & I have differing opinions. Luckily DH does not play into that. I'm his wife & it is what it is. We make decisions together & don't let her come in between us. It's like she tries to make him not forget that she is his mother & everything should go her way despite the fact that he now has a wife. Maybe this is what your FMIL is doing as well. Yes, your FI may be hurt but if he's willing to go on without her being there & he's happy with what you chose, then try to stay strong & continue to stay with the location that you chose and do not let her steal your joy. This is your day, not hers. You will have wonderful memories of your day & in the end the fact that she wasn't there to share your joy won't even matter. She'll be the one who regrets it & ultimately it will be her loss.

Check out this thread: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t33699 I thought the DJ did a good job. Started off a bit corny but as the night went on it got much better. I think that as long as you bring some of your own music for the DJ to play, you'll be fine. Bringing your own music guarantee's that you'll hear the music that you really like. Once the disco opened up to the public, they changed DJ's & more current music was played. All in all, I'm glad that I used the DJ & the disco and my guests enjoyed it.

I was told that if I have more than 10 guests that I wouldn't qualify for the free package. Has anyone heard of such? Nope, thats not true...unless they made changes to their packages for 2009. I had about 30 guests & was able to get the free package.

I also like the first set thats posted. I think they are cute & unique. We went with the monogram cake topper which I just blinged out myself. I think these would have also been a good option to go with had I seen them. I say if you like them, go for it, especially if you can get them customized!

Beautiful pictures. I love the starfish jewelry that your BM's had. And the colors of their dresses & your bouqet...very pretty

If he typcially dresses well then I wouldn't worry. DH & I went thru the same thing. He told me that he can't see what I'm wearing so why should I see what he's wearing! He also told me that the focus was gonna be on me anyway, so what he was wearing shouldn't be a big deal! Yeah right!!! Initially it was frustrating and once I realized that he wasn't going to change his mind, I gave him our colors & I got over it & was happy in the end. So trust him & try to relax about it. You said you gave him the color scheme so I'm sure he won't disappoint!

I loved the outcome & family members still have them on their refrigerators. If you want an idea of how they are definitely order their packet & you'll get a free sample. I couldn't beat getting them for FREE.

I don't remember setting up an appt with Chandlyn prior to leaving. When I arrived I just went to the front desk & had them call her. She was crazy busy that week & it was really hard to catch her. I suggest going straight to her office after you arrive & get settled. If she's not there you can leave a message for her thru the front desk or actually, just go to her office & leave a note on her desk. You will find her...eventually! LOL But don't worry, once you meet with her, it will be quick & you will see that she's very organized & everything will fall into place. She had all of my emails detailing everything that I wanted.

I went with the free package & had guests in 10 rooms. Here's a thread that talks about the ROR packages & what people went with: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t33067

I actually just had her add some hair to my ponytail. She used about half of the pack that I brought with me. It really worked out & I was very happy with what she did considering how stressed out I was about the entire hair issue!

Very, very nice!

Congratulations on having a beautiful day. The pictures are great & it looks like you really did have the best day/trip! I also love your caption of the picture where you're father is walking you down the aisle "lamb to the slaughter". I don't think I've ever heard anyone describe that moment as that! LOL And the last pic with you & your new hubby on the rocks...really nice! Congrats again & thanks for sharing!

I love my Canon too! I have a Powershot SD870 IS & it's the best! It was recommended by friends & it's the best camera I've ever had so far! It's also small & compact. I think it was over my budget that I originally alotted but I don't remember off hand exactly how much it was but it was worth it.
