What are you looking for?

My wedding is March 13 and as of this weekend I am done Planning. I had my major planning phone call. I was on the phone for 2 hours and after that I had my invoice and I was only $150 over budget. I my dress came in at the end of Aug and I will have my first fitting the third week in Jan. My OOT bags are done. I feel like I am forgetting things. I read all these thread and everyone is taking so much with them. What are the reason behide that? Do resort not offer those thing? Are their price crazy high or do you just want your own touch on your wedding?

I am in love with doing this for my AHR, But my question is can you buy it on line pre mixed not the dry stuff? The reason I ask this is I didnt know if I were to buy it down there premixed if it will count towards my limit of alcohol. We are big Rum drinker, so I had planned to use all of my alcohol limit on DR Rum.

I am totally lost on what I should do to decorate for our Signature Drink. I don't even know where to start. WC has given us two good drinks that they serve at the resort one will be Orange and one will be Aqua. The Aqua colored drink with be called Something Blue. I am still up in the Air on what to color the Orange one. I thought Maybe "Vols Love" that is my FI fav college team (U of Tenn) or maybe just call it "Sunset". Do I need to make a sign or something? Please any help is welcomed!

LoL more power to you. I think i would pull all of my hair out if had any longer of a drive.

The problem I am having is people telling us they are going to the wedding when we know they aren't. When i asked my MOH she was not preggo. Then she found out she was, but didn't tell me for a couple of months. I was so happy for her when i found out because of some issues she had, but the problem I had with all of this was she emailed my mom right when she found out she was preggo. asking my mom what she should do. My mom informed me of all of this and told me to just wait and let her tell me. Well she kept asking what dress she was going to wear and where she could try it on. Knowing the whole time she wasn't going. She finally told me that she was preggo and would not be able to make it and I was so happy for her and the first thing I told her was how was I going to be mad at her for getting preggo. That is her life. Now we are some what having the same problems with my FI best friend. They kept saying they are going to the wedding when the wedding is brought up, but then the next min. they are talking about how they don't have any money. Then they make the point to tell us about all the trips they are taking. I understand everyone has their own lifes and that is fine by us, but please just be up front with us and let us know either way if you will be able to go or not. Our feelings won't be hurt, but we just need to know.

Welcome!!! This forum has alot of good information! I am getting married at Palma Real on March 13, 2010, so let me know if you have any question and I will try and help as much as I can!

My planning is done for the most part. No I just have to wait. I sent out my Invites and My RSVPs are do back by Nov 21. I did this because I wanted to have it done before tha holidays. With my Resort you can ask all the question get prices and all of that information will go in your file and then a month our a couple of months out they will do what they call a "crash planning" I was told I will have to be in front of a computer for 2 to 3 hours. This is were they will answer every last question I have and do my invoice. I will be doing all of this on 20 Nov. I have attached a link to my planning thread. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...st-69-a-49774/

I'm a March 2010 Bride as well. There is a good amount of us March Brides out there. I will be getting Married on March 13, 2010 in Punta Cana, DR @ Palma Real. We had to work around high school baseball season for my little brother, because he can't miss games because college are looking at him. And this was the only weekend tha the didn't have baseball till June. It has all worked out just fine!!

I am not getting married in Jamaica, but I have traveled there and I would do a TTD at Dunns River Falls or depending on how far you want to travel for your TTD you could go over by Ricks Cafe they have amazing cliffs.

I am getting Married on the same day as you in Punta Cana D.R. We will be getting married in the state on Dec 18th. We will just be going to the court house and having it done there. We don't want everyone to know. We didn't want to have to change all the docs over to spanish. We pick Dec. because we are hoping it helps us out with our TAXES too. As along as you are Married by Dec 31 you can fill jointly. We will both have to pay this year, so we hope that this will help.

Man I love that picture already. I want to see the rest of them now, so I know you can't wait

He is such a strong guy and those lifts all looked effortless. I know Ryan isn’t a tango dancer but this was pretty close to his specialty. He’s a judge favorite for sure so I don’t see him going anywhere anytime soon. How weird was Ellenore making those alien noises? It kinda creeped me out! Phillip & Channing – Samba – This was a STRUGGLE! I felt so bad for them! But, I think part of the problem is that Channing is a bigger, more muscular girl. She would probably do better with the lifts if she had been paired with Ryan – He’s really the only strong guy this season. You could tell at judging they were nervous. It was kind of sucky that Nigel made a big deal of the girls going home then just told Phillip to step forward and said buh-bye. Victor & Bianca – Broadway – I thought they did better than the judges gave them credit for. It wasn’t my favorite piece at all. I agree that Bianca hadn’t grown but I think she would have gotten a lot of votes. It makes me wonder if they judges picked her because she auditioned and was so close so many times but they knew they needed to get rid of her so they didn’t end up with another Evan. Peter & Pauline – Jazz – I love Wade. He’s just so out there. Pauline did a great job and Peter held his own! I can see them being a good pair later and he’s muscular enough to lift her. Legacy & Kathryn – Contemporary – This was a turning point with Legacy for me. I wasn’t a huge fan before but I think he did a great job and showed a softer side in his interview. Kathryn was really under the radar! I didn’t know she was that good! Nathan & Mollee – Bollywood – Holy Pirouette Batman! Nathan’s spins were insane! I heart him. He reminds me of my Gay BFF Kupono. Mollee did a good job too. I can see the two of them getting more comfortable with each other and the lifts. Of course, I also think they are going to start dating and go to the prom and dance to some Taylor Swift song! LOL Russell & Noelle – Hip Hop – No Bueno! About halfway through this I was feeling awkward just watching! Poor Noelle looked like she was about to cry the entire time the judges were talking to her! I thought Russell did a good job so I don’t really know why he was criticized. Kevin & Karen – Hip Hop – Karen is H-O-T hot! She keeps out performing Kevin. Not a big fan of her outfit but I guess that isn’t a big deal. I also want to know what an ice cream paint job is. Jakob & Ashleigh – Viennese Waltz – I liked this one and I liked Ashleigh! She seemed more humble? And didn’t mention Ryan at all after the dance. Those kisses were pretty smoochy but I guess that just shows she has good chemistry with Jakob. He did pretty well with the lifts, but I think if they got a hard core Disco they would be in trouble. Lastly, I just want to say that I am not a fan of the new set. I think it is too big and that they aren’t covering the stage enough in the time allotted. I don’t like all of the props and the big backgrounds. It takes away from the dancing and the cameras are doing all kinds of crazy moving and angles! Legacy & Kathryn- Is was my fav dance of the night. I was so happy for Legacy to see him contect in this dance. I think he showed the softer side of him tonight. Phillip & Channing - Channing is no way big, but I so know what you mean about her being the bigger girl for this show. To me she is a power house in her style because she is so strong. I knew they would have a hard time with this. I think he was so short with kicking Phillip off because he did not agree with him going home. Nathan & Mollee - I am glad Mollee is growing up a little bit, because I am unsure of how long she would of lasted other wise.

I have to agree. Picking Sarah is the best thing I have done so far, well other than my dress. LOL If you look at page 7, I think you will see the Passport Invites she did for me as well.

I don't remember total. I want to say it was $200 and something and I ordered 25. Sorry I could be more help. I have an order in to get the beer mugs for our dads too.

Everyone (here at home) keeps asking me if I'm stressed or what else I have to do and I tell them that for the most part I am done. They think it is crazy. My own mom was like wow I didn't know you were so organized! I really think I became this way in the Army. I guess it a good thing that I took away from my Army days!

Are you having a party at home when you get back that you could use them as a Favor there too? Just a thought!
