Nyla Photography has got a great portfolio - after our wedding we will be posting images on our website www.izlauanddillon.com. In regards to florist we have selected Tai Flora Services Ltd. - Jamaica's Full Service Florists who will be providing all our floral needs in addition to all decor for the wedding. We have compared several florist prices and also been working out all the details and the best selection we found in Jamaica was Tai Flora. Again, after the wedding we will post photos on our website and provide you an overview on what the service was like... Ciao for now... Welcome and congrats!!! I know you are so excited with your wedding being just a week or so away. Good Luck with everything and make sure you come back and give us all the good details and visit us on the Moon Dance Cliffs thread.

That was a really good deal for those dresses!!!

good job, they look nice!

I have had too many sightings or walk by's when I was running wild. I have been to 5 All Star Basketball weekends and went to the associated events. I love, love, love, Miami and have a condo there so I have seen and met quite a few people there. My most memorable people would be Ludacris in Atlanta airport while we were leaving All Star Weekend, he was really cool for the brief time me and my girls chatted with him. Floyd Maywhether in Houston All Star weekend he was staying in the same hotel as me and my friends and talked to us in the lobby for a good while. My 21st birthday I sat right next to Stevie Wonder in Houston's that was in Georgetown, DC. Another night I was there Michael Jordon and Larry Byrd was at the bar. I really try to respect celebs when their out trying to live normal lives, but one of my girlfriends will run them down, she should work for TMZ. LOL

Not sure if this should have been in the venting section, lol! A year ago now me and my Sweetie had one of our serious sit downs and decided we would get married. We set a date for 8/29/09, which is the date we met on in 2004. When we met I had no intention of our relationship going in the direction it did and the way it did he really surprised me. All in all we love each other very much and have grown in many ways over the past 4 years, we are BFF's. So after our serious discussion we looked at rings (I have expensive taste) and I started doing some planning. Well of course we have been affected by this economy like most people and have some financial challenges to deal with but we have been able to stay afloat and also decided to move our date back 9 months. Well the thing is he never "officially proposed" and I mean asked. I already know that he will get the ring when he can because he gets an A+ in the gift giving department and that's probably why I haven't gotten one yet, but should I consider us engaged? Our families and friends do since we have been talking about it and planning. I guess I'm just stuck right now on he didn't officially ask and maybe he will when he gives me a ring. What are you ladies thoughts, has anyone else had a similar experience?

You ladies look hot, hot ,hot, this will be your guys response and they will be soooooo happy when they get their gifts. This has to go on my things to do list for me and my girlrs!!! Thanks for sharing and I'm sure Kamila will appreciate the business.

hello and welcome!

that was a good deal!

How rude to make a negative comment about the date someone chose for their wedding. If you were having it at home in the evening would it be a problem, they would either come or not come. Please don't change your date to accomodate anyone else.

The other ladies are sooo right! From the jump FI was like I'm not doing anything to please anybody else, the DW was his idea and it was fine to me. I was worried his 90 year old grand parents wouldn't be able to come and he was like, if they want to be there they'll come, which I thought was harsh. But when it comes down to it you two have to come to an agreement on what you guys want to do, it's not about everybody else and again there will still be somebody not satisfied. Good Luck!

That's a cute story, I liked it!

I think you should sit down and talk to FI and express to him how you feel and what you really want, it's about both of you. You may have to compromise but there has to be some agreement between the both of you. You have been given some good suggestions here to try to discuss with him. Maybe you guys can do the ceremony and then everybody go out to dinner or hang out. I totally understand how you feel about him not helping, I previously posted to see if other brides were having the same problem as me with their FI's. My FI is not being as helpful as I would like but it's because of financial reasons and I am trying to bear with him. I am planning what I can without him for now since we have a little ways to go. Hopefully things get better for you, best of luck with making your dream wedding coming true!

Not sure what Sandals offers but there are plenty of tours you can do. I have done the Dunn's River Falls and River tubing both were fun, fun, fun!

Welcome and please come back and post after the wedding!

Not sure about the ROR but beach mats aren't a bad idea, people may use them. There is a thread all about the contents of OOT bags, advice on what people used and didn't use you should check that thread.

I agree with all the other ladies and I think it should be totally seperate and that way you avoid offending anyone. You can make whatever plans you want while your on vacation as long as she is not expecting you to be somewhere and has paid for you to attend something then your under no obligation to be present. You totally deserve to have some nice pictures and nobody has to know about your plans to get them done. Good Luck!!!

I say go for it, I believe it will help the anticipation and make it that much more or gratifying.

Good idea, they'll like their gift!

LMAO! You guys are funny and I agree, you wan't something else your on your own, especially kids. We actually didn't like the fish I cooked last night and I was fine with just eating the sides I made. FI had no problem making him some shrimp to go with his sides but he doesn't mind cooking sometimes either so that would never be an issue.

I think it's fine as long as you are ok with it, the question is how will they feel about it. Your father may say he thinks your step-dad should do it or vice versa and then that makes the decision easier for you. You have to go after what you really want but keep in mind you are asking another person to do something and how they may respond to your request.

Good deal!

Sorry your having these issues but it's sad to say that too often brides get hell from those we think we can depend on the most. I would wait a little to see how she responds to the discussion you had with her about your feelings nd then make a decision. Don't move too hastly because this situation could really damage you guys riendship, no fault of yours, but do keep that in mind.

i'm really sorry for all the pain you are going through right now i hope things get better sooner than later. try to relax and not stress and whatever decisions you need to make for you, your daughter, and the future will come to you in due time.
