I've just been a total slacker about finding a box to put it in. Sorry! I'm going to get on it this week I swear.

So, its looking like its not allergies afterall. The cough continues and now one has a runny nose. So, I went to the vet this morning and got some antibiotics. Hopefully that clears it up!

Thanks Jennifer. I can't wait go to. And I needed something to motivate me to workout regularly again. I can't believe how close your wedding is! You must be so excited!

Fanny, I did a search... check out the pics in this link. I think they are what I was thinking of... http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t30815

I like long tables, but I don't know how that will work in terms of space and set-up. We're expecting up to 60 people, so long tables might not make sense. Thanks! In regards to points, they are so easy to accumulate! Share your ideas, opinions and words of encouragement to other BDW brides. I tend to be more of a "words of encouragement" member since my creativity dept needs a little help! The give-and-receive relationship among members through the point system is what keeps this forum alive and flowing with ideas. I'll def post a planning and post-wedding thread when the time comes. Fanny, I really wanted long tables, but set up kind of together (like a U shape) so that everyone would be together. It just didn't work out with the space and the number of guests we had. The space is longer than it is wide and since we did a buffet for dinner the tables for that took up some of the room. I think that either Trish or Brook, who were both Dreams Tulum brides that got moved to Paradisus, used long tables. I remember seeing the pictures. Maybe try a search on one of them?

omg, these are cracking me up!

Ok ladies, I just booked a trip to the Bahamas. Time to get to the gym again!

Yay, I just booked a trip to Grand Bahama Island for 6 days! I'm so excited to have something to look forward to. I leave the 19th of March.

Sorry ladies, I'm a total slacker this time around. I forgot to weigh in. Maybe I can get my act together for next week. Congrats to those that are still losing!

I think his name was Ricardo, but that could be wrong. I had a hard time remembering his name since he was with the guys in the beginning and not with me.

What a fabulous offer! Can I get married again? lol Brides should definitely try to take advantage of this!

We used Can't Help Falling in Love by UB40

Wow, what a gorgeous dress!

THANKS:) We got legally married here before heading to Paradisus. No one knew about it. It was just one less thing we had to worry about while we were down there and it saved us the extra cost for the legal ceremony. Our JP here did it for free.

Thanks! I'll have to check that out.

You never know, FSIL could be getting nervous about the size of the guest list too, but just doesn't want to disappoint since she already offered her house... so maybe she would welcome the offer of your aunt's work. She could still be a major part of the planning and be very involved. If she knows your aunt, then maybe it would be good for your aunt to call her and make the offer, but if not I think you can do it without hurting her feelings. Just talk about the size of the guest list and see what her feelings are. Good luck!

Sometimes I had to wait a week or longer to hear back on some things. Remember they have other brides there getting married almost everyday. There were at least 4 other weddings during my trip there. And, once you get there Daniela and Perla will make sure everything is perfect for your day! Quote: Originally Posted by LAURENANDBILL I am using SWANK AS MY DJ.. DID ANYONE USE HIM?

Out Of town Bag... its a gift bag for your guests. Oh, and about points, just keep reading posts and commenting on them. You'll have a ton soon enough! A great place to comment is in the newbie section welcoming others to the board. Good luck with your planning. I know its stressful planning something from so far away, but I swear everything will work out when you get there.

This also means that I'll probably disappear around here since a destination wedding and a baby in the same year just don't pan out financially. I'll probably check back in at the end of the season to see how you all did. Keep up the good work and good luck to you all! On the up side I can now have pizza while watching the Daytona 500 today, and now feel guilty. Congrats Lacey!

Oh, that stinks. I agree with a pp that they will probably want to fix it properly right away. I think it will be taken care of before your date! Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I sailed on that ship before. It was awesome. So, I haven't been keeping up with the news at all. What happened? Is it broken?

Good review and those teaser pics on the blog are great!
