    Guest Packages for ROR

    in Jamaica Accommodations & Site

    Posted

    Your DW.com person should be able to put packages together for your group. Is it that everyone is coming from different locations? Because flight for one person coming from lets say.... IL would be different from another person coming from TX. So maybe thats what they are talking about. I am using DW.com and I got package deals that included 7 nights, Transfers, and Airfare from CA. Those (everyone actually) who dont live in CA just pays a bit extra to get there and then they fly to my destination. DW.com is just a travel agent and I would make them work for you.

    Fiji Wedding

    It can be fun and not so fun. Sometimes you just want to have a normal adult conversation with a few drinks and say a few bad words!!! The conversation of a 4 year old doesnt get too complicated! I worked night shift before and I actually loved it! Thats how I put myself through undergrad!

    Oh No problem! Anything is better than work but... isnt it kind of late in the states now?
    I got hired to teach third grade since i was teaching it in TX. I taught for one year and asked to go down a few grades! When I say down I meant down! I know teach PreK! I love it. Yesterday one of my students asked if she could go to my wedding, and I said "Of course!" and she said, "I will ask my mommy first okay?" lol

    Ladies, as you know, I live wayyyyy in Japan and flew to the states over winter break to buy a dress.... well I bought a dress but there was this other one that I loved as well... I just thought the first one was more "appropriate" for the location (FIJI) and travel arrangements (1 big plane, 1 itty bitty 9 seater plane, and a boat). I flew back to Japan KNOWING I had second thoughts... and then found this forum and you girls are redefining appropriate (is a good way) and started to feel relieved that I could wear and do whatever I wanted to do for my wedding (even if that means sitting in a tiny plane covered with lace and chiffon!)

    LONG STORRY SHORT... I have been here (in Japan) for 2 weeks and early this morning I woke up and called the little boutique that had the dress I originally wanted and THEY STILL HAVE....IT WAS THE VERY LAST ONE!!! I BOUGHT IT. Now I have to get someone to pick it up and mail it to me! When I get it I will put it on and take pictures of both dresses so you guys can see. Maybe an upcoming pollhuh.gif? I AM SO EXCITED. Now I have to figure out how to sell the other one. smile67.gif

    That pretty much happened to me... and the look they gave me when I said that I wasn't wearing a veil!
    The dress I got (ie the one in questioning right now) only needs to be altered at the neck. But the length is great!

    Who is paying for what?

    I know the feeling --- EXCEPT WORSE! My parents pretty much tried to change my mind about my DW by telling me that they would pay for the whole thing if I got married in Houston (my hometown), granted my FI and I live in Japan.... (can you imagine planning an actual traditional wedding across the other side of the world?? - STRESSFUL) Well, I didnt budge but what really P***ed me off was when I was just in the US during the holidays, my parents and I went wedding dress shopping, they didnt offer to put a penny on my dress! My parents arent even coming to the wedding. My FI's parents are coming and my FI hinted to me that they were going to pay for the wedding!!!!!!

    But BACK ON YOU!!! (had to vent!!)

     

    I think that if your FI's parents are financially okay then I think that they should of been nice enough to offer to pay for you and your husbands flight and accommodations to the wedding destination or host a pre-wedding party!

     

    I assumed that we were going to pay for everything! I guess because it took us so long to get married! Hes 40 and never been married and Im 29. I guess it would be a really nice gesture if someone offered to help out but I guess its not happening. Oh well!
