I got married at the Palma Real and i thought the DJ was fine. I did give him a playlist of what i wanted played but i thought the songs he played on his own were good too. I didnt have an ipod so that wasnt an option for me.

GO ME!!!!! HAHA I was the same way. I ended up ordering them from a bride on the forum that is now a vendor and her prices are really reasonable. She was great. Her username is AgapeGems, her name is Courtney.

Happy Birthday!

i nominate B2B ~Andrea~ and mrs. Abbie

The state of NJ lets you get paid state temporary disability benefits. Do you girls have that if you dont get maternity leave?

Kate your stuff is great. I love the programs and the jewelry Courtney made you is gorgeous, she does a great job. I cant wait to see the maracas that are being made. I'm really happy for you and cant wait to hear about your trip. I wish i would of had a chance to say goodbye to you before you left. I hope your having a great time.

Awww I'm soooo excited for you Andrea. I love love everything. Passports are great, I know i told you before the luggage tags were such a great idea using people's special pics, the care packages are so sweet, i love all the tshirts, dress is gorgeous, love the hair inspiration, I could just go on forever but i wont. Everything is great. All your guests are going to love it. Your going to make a gorgeous bride and i cant wait to hear all about it when you get back. Love ya girl!

I think your better off not being her bridesmaid. I think you shouldnt be pissed but you should be relieved you dont have to deal with such a needy person. I asked for help from my bridesmaids but i didnt demand it and i didnt need them there for every little thing. I'm sure she's only going to get worse so be thankful you got out early. Dont let her bother you, shes missing out not you.

Hey girls. I did get the results back for the blood tests and they were good but unfortunately over the weekend I started to miscarry. But we will be trying again probably in the summer. I'll be checking this thread to keep track of how y'all are doing. Thanks for everything.

Sorry you just found us. There is a really great packing thread on here you might need. Have fun in Monetgo Bay.

If you pm me your email address i'll forward you the copy of my invoice and the spa prices for the hair.

Great list Erin. There are a ton of newbies trying to pic locations and this will can really help them. I also looked at what kind of alcohol was served (beer brands, if it was topshelf, etc) but i had a couple of drinkers that cared about that. And i wanted a resort that wasnt too far from the airport, i didnt want my guests to have to sit on a plane for 4 hrs and than sit on a bus for another 1+ hrs to get to the resort.

Put your foot down girl!!! Let him know, that while you think it's wonderful that he's trying to surprise your cousin, this is a special day that is important to both you and FI. Tell him you guys really want to just focus on each other that day and it's something you've planned for a long time. If necessary, bring up the idea of maybe doing it in the days AFTER your wedding...although to me, that's still a bit tacky But yes ~ I strongly support a big HELL NO to the idea!!!! I couldnt of said that any better!

Great job Leanne. And good job to the rest of the girls. You guys are doing great.

Bisha your having a boy. Congratulations. now you need to start picking out a name unless you already have.

Jessy I'm sorry that you werent pregnant. when the time is right it will happen. And now you'll be busy getting your new house in order. do you have buy furniture and all new stuff for it? that's so much fun. Well it is if your husband doesnt put his two cents into the whole time! lol Kelly my doctor hasnt even brought up the tests yet. I'm still early i guess to be having that discussion. I'll let you know when it comes up. Thanks for keeping me in your thought Angel. That's sweet of you. the docs office said i should get the blood test results back in a day or two so i'm patiently waiting to hear back from them.

I'm very sorry for your loss April.

Great review Erica. Awww the poor horsey. I'm glad you like Severine too. She was great. Did you post some of your pics on here? I dont remember seeing your ceremony setup with the coconuts, that's sounds really cool.

In a sort of joking manner, haha! That's just me being me though. Actually I would have my FI tell him that and I would just laugh in the background. hehe. I think i would do the same thing. Of course my mil would have never of complained about me not paying for her son because she would of been greatful that we were paying for their trip. Actually she probably wouldnt accept us paying for her trip and would want to pay her own way. She should be thanking you not complaining about you. She has nerve!

I like wine so i would like a wine stopper. We did tropical photoalbums for each of our guests and used them as place savers too. We only had one child so he got one too. But the age group 8-18 is a hard one to pick one thing for, maybe something like a watergun I think they all would like that and can squirt each other with them the whole trip. Are there any favors that have to do with Cuba? Like cigar cutters for the guys, hmmm i dont know any girl things. what are popular Cuban souvenirs? I really dont know much about cuba.

We bought a Dominican love statue. It's a wooden sculpture that has a couple intertwined (there's probably a made in Taiwan sticker on the bottom lol). I was trying to find a christmas ornament there but couldnt find anything. I usually get one when i go away. We also ended up buying an infant's tshirt that we will give to our future baby.

The first flights to Punta Cana when we were booking were all really long delays so we waited a few months and new flights that were direct or short layovers were added. So i would wait longer to see if new flights are added for you too.

I would def ask for a cheaper price for the videographer, def doesnt hurt to at least ask. And your fi's mom is being ridiculous. Your not obligated to pay for anyone and your paying for who you can which is really sweet of you guys. She should be greatful that your paying for her. If her son cant afford to go than maybe she could help him since she's getting a free ride. Some people are never happy and she sounds like one of them.
