If the hotel is not an AI, $40 is a pretty standard industry rate, especially if they are doing top shelf or imports. The corkage fee is generally based on the number of bottles opened, so it could get pricey over the course of the evening. The best thing to do is check with the resort and see if there is any way you can bargain. Maybe serve only beer, wine, vodka, bourbon, etc. not have a full bar with blended drinks etc.

That was pretty funny! The fiesta platypus was great! I almost spit water all over my computer, I wasn't ready for it!

That is super generous Tammy! Too bad I've vented about most of my friends on the forum! I don't want to get in trouble! LOL

I'm a big VS fan. Have you thought about a cheeky boy short? FI loves those and they are super comfy! If you have an H&M they have a pretty good selection too.

The coffin thing confuses me. I remember it being really small looking, like a child would be in it, not an adult. I almost wonder if it was Aaron and the "him" Kate refers to was Ben. Maybe Jack is trying to get back to the island to find Claire if he finds out she is his sister so she can take Aaron back. What was it the psychic said about Claire's baby? That she was the only one who could raise it?

How pretty! I can't wait for more! I'm so glad you had such a good time. Congrats!

Is your wedding this year? How are your plans coming?

I love Spark People! Thanks for posting Alyssa!

I have a friend who kinda has a drinking problem. SHe really like to get wasted, scream at people, then pass the f-out, usually with her skirt above her head. Well, at a friends wedding last summer she was in rare form! I honestly think she was drinking before she even got to the wedding. During the cocktail hour she was doing shots so she was hammered by the time the bride & groom got there. The bride's entire (conservative) family was there from Shanghai, and many of them didn't speak English. So, friend proceeds to kidnap the bride's father, drag him to the dance floor and go crazy with the freak-dancing/humping thing. She has this move called the "Beyonce" that I can't even begin to describe. Then, at the dinner table...(It was an outdoor wedding under a tent) she decided she had to pee. So, she hiked her dress up around her waist, scooted to the edge of her chair and peed! On the ground! At the dinner table! Luckily there were enough of us babysitting and running interference that I don't think the bride ever found out, at least not at the wedding.

Jenny! Don't post scary titles like that! LOL What a great experience. The Ritz is the way to travel. I'd love to re-decorate our master but I would have to get FI out of the house to do it. Where do I sign up for that contest

Welcome to the forum! You'll find lots of info on other destinations. Good luck and happy planning!

Congrats and Happy Planning!

Carly--Everything looks great! I love all of the dresses. You guests are going to be so excited with the OOT bags! You are so well prepared, the wedding will be fabulous!

Yay! I needed the ferret thread today!

I started a new thread that would be easy to search so the newbies could join. We should probably merge the two. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t20210

Sounds great! I'll try to get it mailed before the wedding, but if not I'll still have time. It was such fun last time!

I'm having mine hemmed. I don't know how much they are going to have to take off, but it feels like a foot! LOL! Just part of being petite I guess. Though my stature is the only thing petite on me...

Great job! I know your mom will love them! If they are like me and my mom, they'll cry! Thanks for the inspiration!

I laughed, but the sad part is that it's so TRUE!!!!

I can understand them saying $2000 is too much IF it hadn't already been paid. But, once it gets paid they can't back out! I know it's too late for you, but I think it really helps with a DW to never be counting on anyone for anything. To fill your required numbers, to pay you back a deposit...nothing. We would have only been out the depoist if the "committment date" hadn't passed. It was April 15th, which they both knew. Since we are travelling as a group we had to have everything finalized then, release the hold on all seats and rooms, and pay in full by the 3rd. We are under a group contract so we are liable for the group. We have already turned in names to both the airline and the resort. So at this point we pay for empty seats if anyone backs out. (but everyone else has paid) They told me a while back they were going to contact the TA to start paying, so they wouldn't have a lump sum due at the end. Silly me assumed that 27 year old women could/would take care of themselves and handle things. I didn't know until I checked in with my TA on Wednesday last week that nothing other than what I paid was on their accounts. I didn't realize that I needed to send them a bill and a reminder every month for the last 15 months to give me or the TA money.
