This marriage won't last long... I dislike Odom!! I'm a Lakers hater..haha Well, I hope Khole will be happy but it's Holllywood where marriages won't last that long.

That would just make me so angry! This is tough situation because they're paying for your reception but I hate it when parents decide that the party is their party, not their kid's party. Your husband should talk to her and get this mess straightened out.

I'll have to think about this as well. I have 7 girls as well... I don't know if having that many parasols will look weird. I just don't want to spend that much $$$ on bouquets! I would be interested to see your pics if you do decide to have parasols.

Is this on top of the cost for their dinner and drinks? Also, i would quite like a few of my friends to come up to my room whilst I am getting ready, would i have to pay for this? Thanks No, from what Kimberly sent me..it is free for everyone even though guests staying at another resort.

If you have Luxury, you get a few options for each course (4 course dinner)

Over the weekend, I dyed my hair to dark brown and she left some highlights around my crown so I'm happy! Thanks again, ladies!

No way, from what Kimberly told us, it is FREE for our guests on the day of wedding.

Quote: Originally Posted by candicemarie That webinar was so cool! You definitely don't have to pay the outside fee if they're staying at either GPR or Royal so you're good to go! Other things we learned: 1. guests staying @ GPR, certain suite level includes free ALL ACCESS to the Royal restaurants/bars!!! Jennifer said to email her about which suite level this is with 2. no more $60 3day pass for GPR guests to the Royal They do have day passes and night passes to purchase separately, but they didn't give us the rates so you'll have to check w/your WC. Or just make sure they stay in the suites from #1 and no worries! 3. 10people per round table; so you can estimate how many tables you'll need to decorate 4. white chair covers are included in all wedding packages. colored ribbon can be added for $5/chair 5. webcam for wedding = $300 6. centerpiece included in every package (unless otherwise notated) - one lg/medium sized ivory candle per table. I'm pretty sure she said in a hurricane but not 100% 7. need to have wedding package, food, etc decided at least 45days prior to wedding 8. resort staff puts up your decorations you bring to them FREE of charge 9. if photographer is staying @ GPR or Royal, you don't have to pay the outside vendor fee That's my summary. I know there was some more, but that is what pertained to me directly. Hope it helps! Thanks for typing that out. I definitely didn't know the centerpieces are included! I don't see it in the package. I will clarify with Kimberly.

Since the Royal in PDC doesn't have a Catholic vendor on site, would I still be able to buy their catholic wedding package (with all their included entities), yet use the church I want? I think this question can be answered by the wedding coordinator. Why don't you e-mail them? They do have a church in Cancun which is just breathtaking.

I too had just gotten engaged, I had a bit of a meltdown after something really scarey happened and I wasn't able to continue working in that field. I had done that job for 12 years, that was who I was. I felt really lost and alone for a long time. I was really lucky to have my kids and FI, not mention good friends. One such good friend asked me to clean her house for her one friday and she would pay me for it. I did and her Ex came to pick up the kids and was really excited about her house looking that great on a Friday afternoon, he came and asked me if I'd clean his on Monday after the kids went back to mom's. I needed the money so what the hell. I now have working for me 2 part time girls and myself fulltime. I have 33 regular clients that are weekly/biweekly about 10 clients that call on an as needed bases. I have just recently picked up two daycare centres that I clean at night and I work with several real estate agents, getting homes ready for sale and cleaned when people move out. It amazed me that in time when everyone seems to tighten their belts I was able to get this off the ground. I know it really seems like there is nothing out there, sometimes you just have to change where you looking. I may not want to do this forever, however for now it works and pays the bills... Actually I make more now then I did two years ago Don't beat yourself up.... Good luck... That is awesome! You can start a cleaning business and get people to work for you when you find something else.

I am employed but I am frustrated and stressed out because my FI has been out of work since June. We are getting married in May and I just put the photography and trip deposit on my credit card and they went through...i freaked out a little bit because I am not sure if i will be able to pay them before 2nd payment gets charged. I totally relate even though I have a job..my FI has been depressed because he just sits around at home and only go to the gym. He has been looking EVERYWHERE and there has been a few false leads. He even got scammed...he had got a UK job but that was a stupid scam. talk about infuriating. It is affecting me as well. I am definitely praying for best for people like us. We don't deserve this at all. Corporate greed can ruin lives and I hate them for that.

A solid start to the season! I LOLed at this. Kevin: "I need to do mine first. Who's been saying that there is another person inside of me working me with controls?"

Thank you for putting this together! I got all of my questions answered so I won't have to bug Kimberly too much!

Quote: Originally Posted by ~Stephanie~ I don't know about you ladies but I'm trying to make a list of questions all day! I'm trying to get everything answered now! lol. What kinds of questions do ya'll still have for the WC and/or resort? I'm trying to come up with things so I don't have to email later and wait forever for responses! Well if you haven't had this question on your list...can you put if we have to pay for vendor fees if we fly in a photographer and he is a guest of Gran? I am assuming no. I just booked a photographer and flying him in and he will stay at Gran. They better not tell us that we have to pay vendor fees even though he will be a guest. it's like saying we have to pay vendor fees for everyone who takes pictures at the wedding.

Will be there!

Yup, that's what I decided too...parasols all the way!

Haha, I hate the fact that I HAVE to tell him what to do with the chores. I just want him to do them without me asking. Is that too much to ask??

People LOVE to take advantage of brides. Ugh. Hope it works out for you, lady.

Sometimes, close friends can be real jerks. If she doesn't want to come to your birthday because she'll be cooking...she doesnt have to cook! She can just buy something from the store. She's just being petty. Don't let it get you.

Yeah, I can't believe I missed out on this. My FI and I started watching season 1 back in spring and we got hooked...we're about to watch the last disc for Season 5 tonight then we're all caught up!!
