Ordered Bridesmaid dresses 14. Made and mailed out Boarding Pass STD.. let me know if anyone wants pics 15. Made wedding website: OurWedding Website I think that is it so far. I'm traveling back to St. Thomas over the July 4th holiday to meet with my wedding planner face to face again to discuss food, flowers, centerpieces, music, vows, cake, etc.. I'm currently looking for: -shoes for my dress -shoes for the bridesmaid dresses -cheap tote bags -program fans that don't look like pieces of cardboard with popsicle sticks or 5 pieces of paper that open up to a fan shape. -cheap beach towels -starting to look for invititations I'm so glad that there is a December brides page! Hopefully we can keep each other on track! Thanks guys, Julie

April is my WC and has been so sweet so far! Of course, we haven't done a lot yet because we aren't getting married until Dec. 5th 2009... But she has been awesome so far!

Thanks again for all of the feedback guys!!! We will definitely take it all into consideration!!

Thanks for the advice guys! If yall don't think it was dangerous, I think we will be ok! We are probably over cautious all of the time! I mean hey.. we live in Memphis, 2007 FBI's most dangerous city for Violent Crime... what a claim to fame! ha! Anyway, right now we aren't necessarily looking into anything specific. Next week we are going on a cruise and we are looking at the Marriott Frenchmans Reef in St. Thomas and the Marriott in Curacao. But I really like the brochure that I have for the Couples Resorts in Jamaica. Does anyone have any thoughts on how couples resorts compare to others in Jamaica? And any other recommendations of places to look in St. Thomas or Curacao? btw...yes... I LOVE The Caves... thought the pics on the website are amazing.. unfortunately.. it's out of our price range!! Yall are such a great help!!!

Hi Everyone! I'm sucha goober!! I typed this out earlier but never hit post.. I'm still learning here, people! ha! Anyway, I have 2 questions for anyone who has ever been to Jamaica!!! So here it goes!! 1. I've kinda heard some talk that in Jamaica you will want to stay inside your resort because it can be dangerous outside of resorts and in towns. Anyone agree or disagree or have any thoughts? 2. Whether you've been to one resort or 100, what resort in Jamaica do you think is the nicest? I can't wait to hear yall's responses!! I've read a buncha yalls posts on this site, and I feel so clueless!! Yall've all really got it together!! I can only hope that my wedding will be as fantastic as yall's have been or are going to be!! Thanks for your time!!

I'd love to see the pics from Frenchman's Reef?! Just whenever you have time! Thanks so much!!

Those are beautiful!!

Wow!!! I've never felt so welcome!!!!! Thanks so much guys!!!

Hi Everyone!! We just got engaged last Wednesday! He completely surprised me!!!! We're really hoping that we can find a lot of helpful info on this site! Because all we know right now is that we want to get married in either the Caribbean or Mexico! So as you all probably know, that's a large field to narrow down!! Next week we are going on a cruise and we are looking at places in St. Thomas and Curacao! Does anyone have suggestions on these? Also, I really like the websites for Dreams in Mexico and Couples in Jamaica! Any insight on those?? Hope everyone is having a great day!
