Here is a link to some of our pictures on our photographers blog. Let me know if you have any questions! If you read Weddingbee, I'm Miss Quiche & will be starting my recaps soon! Ladies, you will not be disappointed!! xoxo, Kristin Your pictures look amazing! Love them, the photographer did a great job.

Talk to you ladies soon. Dana I am here I am back! I actually came back 2 weeks ago. I have been gone for a month so just trying to aclimate post wedding. Everything went great! Gabi and Alex are the best! The only snafu was that it rained, so I didn't get to use the beautiful wedding lawn, and ladies that lawn area is gorgeous. We had to set up inside, but I didn't mind, they did a wonderful job. Don't worry about a thing, they take care of everything! I just met with them for about an hour the first day and after that I was on the beach daily. No worries The ceremony was perfect! The minister was very nice and very amusing. He was great. I wish I had videotaped it. We had over 40 people at the resort and 10 offsite guests. Everyone had a blast, and I can't praise Coyaba enough for the service and the atmosphere was perfect! We are trying to go back next year I hired Sungold photos for the wedding and they were amazing. Paula and Damion were awesome to work with and I can't wait to see the pics! I have a few pictures my cousin took with my camera. Sorry I don't have many and none from the reception I will post the pro shots once I get them. If you have any questions, let me know I will be happy to answer them. Good Luck Dana! You will have a great time!

Hmmm yeah I second the golf club bag. Well you can try putting the base in your luggage and the pole in a garment bag if you are bringing one on board the plane. You may have to find out in advance if you can bring them on board.

Hi ladies, I have 3 more days and I will be in JA!!!! I can't wait! I have attached my planning link so if you ladies have any questions just let me know. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t42685

Where did you find the template for the floral monogram? Did you make your own? I'd love to have the instructions. Everything looks amazing! I know your wedding will be beyond beautiful! I can't wait to see pics of how everything came together. Congrats! Thanks so much! The floral monogram I made myself in Adobe illustrator. I can send you the file and let you know what fonts I used just let me know if you need it

Yeah i got the matching band. It's beautiful, but thin, and I wanted to get another one so I could put one on each side, but FI was giving me the "I don't think so" look. I am going to get it next year for our anniversary instead.

OOT Bags Ok I didn't get a ton for these, since I have limited bag space. I kept the bags pretty simple. Each guest will get a beach towel (on sale at sears 50% off!!) a 4oz rum cake (purchased in Jamaica), welcome booklet, and little package with bandaids, sanitizing wipes, gum, tissue, shout wipe, aspirin, advil, antacid, and safety pins. Oops! forgot to post jewelry Phew! well that's it! I can't wait to get to JA and relax with my friends and family!

I guess you are not geting any sleep like me:) I have soo much to do I am dead beat tired! I don't want to see another DIY project again, goodness. Don't worry it's almost over and you get to relax!

My dress is similar and actually I was looking for a different pair of shoes. Did you purchase your shoes recently? I really like them Hi, Well I got the ceremony shoes on blue fly, back in January. I don't think they have them anymore, but check, their stock rotates. I am bringing it all to JA! ugh, my sister and mom are taking some things and so far I only have 4 bags not too bad considering. If I have to pay the overweight fee for 2 i dont mind. I have been weighing them to make sure I am all good. I got all the flowers (minus monogram) from Angels accents. She created all the bouquets, bouts and corsages and I just purchased the orchids and amarillyas from them. They are great to work with, no problems. The freeze dried petals i got from flyboy naturals. I will be bringing all flower items with me on the plane. If they say anything about them I will say they are fake like all the other flowers
