RORJamaica Bride 050809

I purchased silk flowers at Michaels. I then took them to a flower shop and they arranged them for me and wrapped them. I had the bridesmaids flowers wrapped with the part of their dress what cut off for hemming. I had people coming up to me at the resort wondering if they were real and where I got them.

Yes we brought our iPod for our after dinner reception poolside. There is a plug there, so you don't have to worry. I wish we would have known before we went or we would have bought the Bose. You could hear the music perfectly.

I would recommend Lee's Tours. They will work with you and do anything you want. [email protected]

Its made by Umbra. I bought it at Khol's others have bought it from World Market and Target have/had it as well.

Thanks everyone for all the compliments. It was the best day of my life. Yes that was our photographer sitting on the steps crying! He was upset because him and the videographer were arguing during the ceremony because the video guy wouldn't let him get any pictures, he was crying because he said he didn't get any good pictures of the ceremony and that he didn't think we got what we paid for. He also bought a special camera for that day to attach to the gazebo for aerial shots and because it started to rain he had to take it down. Needless to say I think we have amazing pictures except because he was crying he missed most the eating reception and the speeches especially. We got my husbands suit at Kohls. It was on sale and you gotta love the Kohls cash because I think we got the whole suit for $90. Yes we got the frame at Kohls. DrBrainFreeze, how did yours travel home, ours didn't do so well, so i brought some sand home from Jamaica and we plan to redo it. If anyone has any more questions feel free to ask. it might be a little bit until I post our review. We are one week away from our AHR, so still going crazy. My best advise is to enjoy every single second because it goes by in a flash.

We returned from our ROR wedding on Friday, May 15th. I hope to post a review soon. Our wedding was everything we imagined and more!! Despite a quick rain shower that started 15 minutes before the wedding everything was perfect. Here is the link to all our professional pictures. Enjoy!

I too have to warn people about discount mugs. I just got back from our wedding in Jamaica and have yet to email them, but they printed all our mugs perfectly, however after using them a day at the beach all the ink and our names came off, so now everyone body has a plain black mug as a souvineir. I plan to email them shortly about how disappointing/embarrassing the whole situation has been. Please heed the advice and avoid discountmugs.com

we are using Lee's Tours, and they have been awesome so far. We are getting a private transfer from the airport from them also. We have a private catamaran for everyone joining us in Jamaica, drinks on the cat, snorkeling equip, and entrance fees to the falls, for $68 pp. We paid $20 per person towards each of their trips.

We arrive Tuesday. Is your reception poolside costing you more than the $10 pp and $5 to set up the chairs and tables? We aren't having a rehearsal, we are doing the cool runnings tour to dunns river on Thursday though, so we won't be around the resort until 1 or so.

Wow, it seems we have a lot in common, my fiance' has gotten his wedding band exchanged twice since we got it from him losing weight, and I recently had x-rays on my back, and have been seeing a chiropractor in hopes of my back pain being alleviated. I think mine is stress induced though, I graduate from my MBA program tonight, and I had interviews this week for a promotion at my job and this wedding has all been so stressful. My wedding is at 4:00pm. We definitely need to get together, when are you arriving in Jamaica. I have been trying to get a hold of Chandlyn to set up a meeting time, and I emailed her on Monday and haven't heard anything yet. Have you set up your time to meet her? I hope your back feels better before the wedding day.

Thanks that makes me feel a little better.

Everything i can see now says that May and June and September and October are the rainy months. Now it says showers on the 8th

My wedding is the same day as yours, and I have been obsessively checking the weather website for the forecast, and saw rain too Hopefully everything will be ok!! What time is your wedding?

How many guests do you have? I have about 36 that would need seats, that would be $525! I think my guests will have to sit in the brown chairs

That seems insane! I think you could actually purchase chair covers for cheaper.

I too am interested in what else I should be doing. I have exactly 60 days. I sent my docs to Chandyln at the beginning of February. I haven't heard yet, that they have gotten there. I am starting to get nervous. I sent them certified so someone in Jamaica needs to sign for it. I should get a receipt then saying it was received but nothing yet. I confirmed the videographer. And requested where I want the reception. But other than that, Chandyln said she would contact me before I left about setting up a meeting time with her. I am slowly trying to pack also.

Does anyone know the price of chair covers at the ROR? Or have a list of the extra decoration prices.

Designs by MK- Wedding She is great. If you talk to her, mention that you saw this on BDW from Lindsay Hepfer. I just can't express how AWESOME she is!

If you are looking for invitations, and you lack the creative ability like me, then you are in luck. Designs by MK offers gorgeous invitations at a reasonable price. Michelle has been the best vendor I have worked with since I started planning my wedding. And she works so quickly!! She is simply amazing and I can't say enough about this company!

Sounds like you had a wonderful time!!! I am only 3 months away, and reading reviews like this makes me go crazy with anticipation!!! Can't wait to see pictures!

Does anyone know off hand the address to which we send our notarized documents?

I can totally sympathize! Except it is some of the important guests that are not going to be there for our wedding. We gave everyone 2 1/2 years to save, and the grooms father didn't save a penny. We offered to pay for his passport. And our plan was to take whatever he saved and supplement it with our own money so he could go and he could pay us back. But his lack of motivation to save has brought us to the point of not helping him at all. We should not have to pay for our parents to attend our wedding!!! His brother also a groomsmen has backed out. He has recently been laid off, but in the mean time has gotten a huge tattoo, and some sort of jewelry on his teeth!! His mom has paid $300 toward trip but has yet to book a flight, and we leave in less than 4 months. We initially started with 60 people attending the wedding in Jamaica and are down to 40. Which 40 is way more than I ever expected. But my maid of honor still hasn't booked a flight, but her parents are going so I am sure they will pay for whatever she can't. I just wish people could take a little more responsibility! Not only is his family not coming, which i have expressed my extreme disappointment to them, they haven't offered to help with anything! no money no nothing! They better give us a big wedding present, sorry that is a little selfish on my end, but come on! We have told them so many times, no presents just come to the wedding!

How is the world did you exacto knife that? My fiance' has tried many times to try and cut those out and my mom has to. No one has a steady enough hand to make it look decent. When it done it looks like a kindergarten project. Please help!

Any suggestions when to make my hair appointment for? Wedding is at 4:00 and I want to save time for pics before the wedding, and my maid of honor and bridesmaid are getting their hair done too.

Good Point!!
