I was thinking the same thing. Normally I see at least 8 pages and today its just 4.

We were legally married a couple of days before we went to Mexico. No witnesses were required and we didn't tell anyone. We just figured it was easier for us to handle the legal stuff here in the US and it was more cost effective.

Katrina, a mediterranean cruise sounds fantastic! As for us, we are still looking for somewhere to live. I cried today because we can't find anything that isn't crappy in our price range and the few things I do find that we might like, I call my agent and they're on deposit already. So frustrating and depressing! I know we will eventually find something (I hope!), but right now it just sucks. And, my dh is so patient so it doesn't bother him at all.

The more the merrier Erica! It is really nice to have everyone's support during the contest. Just be sure to send in your weigh in tomorrow and it'll be fine. Pretty sure as long as the payment gets there in a reasonable time its no problem.

I can't remember if the rooms with 2 double beds have pull-out couches or not. some of the couches pull out, others don't. But they also have roll-away beds. I think that as long as the kids are all accounted for (meaning book them into rooms with grandparents/aunts/friends/etc.) you'll be okay. Good idea!

Ladies, you both looked beautiful! Glad it was such a good time.

We sent out the Save the Dates in early March and though many have received travel quotes, no one has booked their travel. Can anyone give me an idea of when they started to see guests booking their travel? Also, is anyone else using Destination Wedding Travel? A friend of a friend referred them to me and though our agent has been great, I'm seeing that their pricing for air and hotel are not as low as Orbitz or Expedia. Actually one of my guests brought this to my attention just a few weeks ago. I just checked again today and Orbitz is offering 40% off - a significant savings from some of the earlier quotes. Some of my VIP guests are the ones hit hardest by this ecomony and they are looking for the best travel deal. Does anyone have any advice to offer? Did all of your guests book through your travel agent or did some book through an online discounter such as Orbitz or Expedia? Also, my sister has 4 kids and I was told the Paradisus only allows 2 kids with 2 adults per room, so my sister and brother-in-law would have to get 2 rooms which would almost double the cost of the trip. But I know the resort has Family Suites with 2 double beds and a sofa bed which would accomodate her family. Has anyone else run into this? Sorry for all the questions - all of this has just consumed me lately. I appreciate any advice you can give! Thanks! Brooke All of our guests did book thru our TA, but our TA would match a rate if we had found something lower. One person in our group found a lower rate for themselves on Expedia and our TA matched it. She just had to print out the info so the TA had it in writing. Don't worry about guests not booking yet. We had some people book up to 2 weeks before the trip, however the majority booked maybe 4 or 5 months out. We had a special rate that was going to end, so I think that motivated most people.

Ann, are you going to play along this season? I can't wait for it to start. I'm feeling so blah lately and I think that exercising more regularly will help with that.

Hey Yamille, I remember emailing Perla about this before I was married and she said it would be no problem for them to set them up if we brought them down and no charge to do it. We ended up using the resorts chair sashes anyway, but she definitely said it'd be fine if we didn't.

Welcome to the forum Kimmie. You'll love the Paradisus.

You were looking for everything that I am now looking for. Thanks! Hi Caryn, check the dates on the posts. This one is really old so you may not get many responses. Good luck with finding a location though. Once you decide you'll feel fabulous! Happy planning.

Ooh, bowling is a good idea. Good call Kat.

Looks like so much fun!

Quote: Originally Posted by Susanandmo Thanks so sharing the pics Kelly... you made a beautiful bride and you guys are an adorable couple! So random the dog and the "hot" guy... kinda funny now thou... Again thanks for sharing. Hope all is well. I loved the dog on the day. She was so sweet. Everyone was loving her. Luckily, I never even saw that guy. It was such a blur. I didn't see him til I got my pics back. lol He is a hottie. haha Someone on the beach did shout out "Hola!" really loudly during my ceremony. My brother almost left his post as best man to go punch the guy. lol

Kelly, i am soooo glad you shared your pictures! You are a GORGEOUS bride!!!! I'm w/ Lisa, you have to get a dog! Thanks girls... if only I still looked like that. lol My brother said its the skinniest he's ever seen me. Its been downhill since then. lol Ah, the comfort of marriage. A dog is the first thing on our list after we get a house. Quote: Originally Posted by carly Wow, Kelly, phenomonal photos. You looked absolutely gorgeous and I love the style of Del Sol's photography. I am just wondering though, why you originally didn't want to share them? Have you already posted a review and I missed it? Just wondering if you had a bad experience or something, b/c you should feel free to honestly share your experience with us (as your BDW friends), but also with future brides. Hope it was a good experience for you!! We didn't have a bad experience, but it wasn't what I expected either. I don't want to say anything negative because I never said anything directly to them so I don't think that's fair. If anyone is thinking of using them I would be happy to honestly share my experience through PM or email.
