It ends up being $2100 for 3 nights and airfare for 2 people. Ouch!!!!! At least it is all inclusive I guess. And the way my friends drink, they would probably run that up anyways! hahaha Pray they don't hate me forever though... JPLOVESME-Oh! I love both of those resorts! You definitely can't go wrong with either one of those! Hey, would you like to come join our "Azul Sensatori Thread?" The girls are awesome and give great advice, ideas, feedback, etc. I stayed on the thread, even after I decided to head to Le Blanc! So, come on over! ha ooooo, thanks! going over to that thread too! And good call on just booking the Le BLac, if your friends say to do what u want. A few friends said the same, but even $2100 with all included was too much for 3 nights. but who knows... still up in the air! Quote: Originally Posted by KittenHeart You have great taste!

My top two choices for a wedding were The Royal and Le Blanc, too pricey though. The Royal is FABULOUS, you'd love it, it was like paradise. Can't say enough good things about that resort, I'd go back in a heartbeat! Thanks for the feedback! I can't wait to go visit there in a couple months. Our wedding date isn't till next Jan 2011, so hopefully we'll feel fine about either the Royal or the Gran Caribe. GOod thing the Royal lets Gran Caribe guests on campus ... well, only the ones who pay the higher price. But that's why the Royal is so exclusive! I think I want to go to the Le BLanc for the honeymoon too. A few other brides here are doing the same. I KNOW that when we visit Le BLanc to check it out, we'll probably decide to do that. But good to know you loved the Royal too!

Bumping the thread for the Calvin Klein swimwear boutique opening up Feb 2 at 12pm EST!!!!!

Welcome to the forum! I know you'll get lots of ideas in the next few months for your wedding. Happy planning!

i liked both! But #2 is my vote! More wow

DISLIKE! (Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf fan) "Glee" (tv)

Congrats and welcome! I'm biased towards the Riviera Maya. But Cabo's nice too! Browse the threads, and you'll have a better idea of what's right for you, your FI and your kids! Happy Planning!

Cool thread! Pharmaceutical Sales Rep (a dying breed). FI in medical sales.

wow. 100? When I was in great shape, I didn't do more than 25. But it does wonders for your triceps, and I'll need that for the dress. But keep it up!

Love your planning thread! Loooove that you're doing cupcakes! Thanks for sharing!

awww. so cute! your friend did great!

I wish I had time to read! My FI actually reads more novels than I do... then he passes them onto me. My current novel is "The girl with the Dragon Tatoo" by Stieg Larsson. Fast read!

doesn't the designer's web site have the names of the salons that carry the line? I would call around to see. Maybe you can still go to NYC to try it on... if you really want to check your size. I guess you would have to weazel out of commitments to buy from whatever store you try the dress

Seriously, East Coast, you are lucky that you get to watch the episode earlier than us PST fans. Must wait 2 hours 10 minutes....

The design is fantastic! Great job! POst pics when you can, especially if you decide to put plastic covers on them.

You're so lucky you have access to the wholesale district. now that I see your pashimas and setup, I am tempted to visit the fashion district (like your wholesale district) in downtown los angeles. Thanks for sharing, and great job!!!

Thank goodness for this thread! I was worried that a small party wouldn't need dancing, so I wasn't sure to book a DJ for a wedding with less than 25 people... quandry... And CaribbeanLover, no that's not crazy. It's a smooth flow to get things going in the intro.

Wow, I can't believe you folded these yourself!!! I would've just bought them from Cardsandpockets.com, but yours came out just as good as anything bought! Great job!

I know the wedding was way back in August, but i wanted to say that I love the parasols! I'm seeing more of them in this forum, and now I'm leaning towards them!

Wow. 3 of your BMs suck. That's too much drama for you. Too bad one of them is your future sis. Ech. I'm so sorry the situation hasn't gotten better... At least you know who you need to cut out of your life once the wedding is over. For now, try to look forward to getting married, and when the day comes, just ignore them (if you decide to keep them in your wedding party). remember, its your day, and if you don't want them in your wedding party, then cut them out. Or have your good BMs keep those b**ches out of your way. We're still here for you if you need to vent more! Hang in there!!!!! Quote: Originally Posted by brandynd Well….I’m working the uber slow night shift tonight (funny as I type that the phone in my office rings), so I thought I’d update you on what’s going on. The BM still hasn’t had the nerve to call me, but I did receive a text earlier this afternoon saying “Brandy I know you’re mad at me and I’m sorry, but I was sick. I understand I wasn’t there, but I can’t help that.†If she was so sick, then why was she getting home at 3 in the freaking morning? It just seems like all too convenient of an excuse if you ask me. I’m not even going to argue with her about it though. I feel like I’m at my wits end with my bridal party, and it’s hit the point where I’m more looking forward to my wedding being over than to the actual wedding itself, which is sad. No bride should feel the way that I feel. It’s not just her either. One of my other BM’s who shall remain anonymous called me the day before the wedding shower. I asked her if she was coming to the shower and bachelorette (she hadn’t even lifted a finger to help the 2 BM’s who put the whole thing together) and she started in on this whole schpiel about how she’d be there, but wasn’t bringing a gift because “I don’t have money to buy you a million gifts Brandy.†What the hell?! I didn’t ask her to get me anything, I just asked if she would be there. She then went on to complain that she had to work Friday night so she could get her hair done for the wedding, which she didn’t even want to do (I told them if they didn’t want to go to the salon they didn’t have to), and to pay for her hotel that she didn’t even want to stay in (it’s called a cab, maybe she should catch one if paying $99 for a $300 suite is too much.) This is the type of attitude that I get from my BM’s on a daily basis. Just feels like everything is stacked up against me, and I’m trying SO hard not to go Bridezilla on these women, but my nerves are getting worn down to the point where I’m about to blow up at some people. I’m not trying to be a PITA, but jesus. Anyways, just one last little add on to my bitch fest. While we were at the bar FI’s big sister (another BM) came up and said “Thank you so much for making us book our trip to Mexico. We had soooo much fun! Oh, I bet you’re bummed you guys didn’t go and get married down there, huh?†All I could say was “I’m glad you had fun.†Then I took the drink she had just bought me, and I walked away. The wedding gods hate me. Vegas has never sounded SOOO good. 12 days and counting, and thank god for my BM’s who actually care. They are the only thing standing between me and insanity. The end.

Leslie: I was shaking my head reading your post. So horrible. I really hope you are able to handle all of this at home with the support of family and friends. I am so angry at the situation for you. I've seen this happen too many times, and I hate seeing this happen to a new bride. Prayers are with you, girl...

Congrats on your new plans! Welcome to the forum! Is that $4000 going to the ceremony/reception? That can go a long way with the wedding packages that are offered at different resorts. Both Jamaica and Mexico All Inclusive Resorts have wonderful packages that will suit your budget! Browse the forum, and the resorts' sites, and I'm sure you and your fiance will find a place that suits your personalities and taste! have fun planning!

All I can say is, WOW. Great job!
