Then he calmed down

I like the first one and the last one. Very creative.

This story is frightening (whether embellished or not)...but I agree with other posts stating that things like this can not only happen in DR but in other poor countries. What is strange about this is that I read a story on another forum about a photographer being beaten & robbed in broad daylight right outside of Majestic Colonial. Is it coincidence that both stories surround Majestic Colonial?

I wanted pocketfolds at first and even made a DIY pocketfold, but decided against it. I'm very indecisive too, lol....but those look amazing, like professional invites. Love them. The colors are great! (By the way, I booked Dreams PC for 11/22/0

wow, those look amazing!!

I found blue beach glass at Michaels for 2.99 per 16oz. I also found a lot of different stones & glass at this site: Mosaic Tiles, Glass Gems and Crafting Supplies from Wholesalers USA You can purchase samples for like 50 cents and they are nice.

I really wanted someone from the US but its a lot to fly the people and hotel too Thanks...I will ask her to send me more pics. Yeah flying in someone is putting our photography budget over the edge but photography is the most important aspect for me...so its so hard to decide!!

Great, thx Tami for your help

That is priced per person/per hour. Hi Tami, the Paradisus is part of the Sol Melia hotel line right?

Question for brides-to-be: What items from your registry are you (and your FI) most looking forward to receiving? Looking forward to all the kitchen stuff, I like to cook and FI loves to eat...! Question for everybody: How many places did you/will you register at? We will probably just register in 2 places, Bed Bath & Beyond and Macys (or Crate & Barrel).

And they give you a free heart shaped candy dish! You can DEF drag your FI, but I was at C&B yesterday and they told me lots of girls come alone or with their moms or best friends. I'm doing the one coming up this Sunday. Here's the info: A Wedding Party ℠ in your honor. If you’re about to be married, we’re throwing a party in your honor. Bring your partner, or your friends.

Welcome to the forum. I joined not too long ago and this forum and all these ladies have been the most helpful!! We will enjoy this site and quickly become addicted.

Thx for letting us know...I will check my statement as well.

Thx, thats what they did for my friends wedding in Puerto Plata and that sounds more reasonable that what another resort was offering to me.

Thx Jen. I had pre-reserved with Melia but I just found out they were having another wedding on the same day as mine & I was put off a little bit by that & a coupel of other things. I sent an email to the wedding coordinator at Dreams through the link on their website...I hope I hear back soon from someone. Thanks for the info

they look fantastic!!! love the colors!

wow, these look fantastic!! I may have to steal the idea ;-)
