Hey, I just stayed at Iberostar Playa Del Mar which part of the 5 hotels that Linda is a part of-- It was amazing. The food in these resorts is great, the shows are great, the beach is great, the hotel are beautiful. Also, there's a little village where people from all 5 hotels could go to w/ a teen club, an adults club, a taco shop, a creperie/icecream parlor, a hamburger place--all included as well. We saw a few weddings at Beach (I think its the hotel right next to Linda) and they were beautiful. I highly recommend doing it at Iberostar.

Wow! You look hot, your FI/husband will love them!

Welcome, congrats, and happy planning!

Does anyone else have problems with Claudia not answering emails? I think she ignored my friend request on facebook too! I just re-requested her. I've chilled with my emails, but once every few months when I have a question or something, I expect a reassuring email back. I really don't know what to do. She makes me feel so uncomfortable I feel like I'm gna have the wedding from hell. In her last email to me she goes "tenative ceremony for the same day.." so I tell her well my contract says my wedding is from 5-11, I don't want any one interfering with it-- no reply! Goddammit!

That sounds like a good idea So just cigars, I wouldn't be required to get anything else for them? And what did you get for the girls?

I've changed me wedding date to June 10, 2010 from June 12, 2010

Oh yay, I friended her =) She like hates me though, doesn't answer my emails, & when she does gives me two words answers, but now if she friends me I'll just direct all my statuses to her lol

Your pictures are gorgeous! Thanks for the review. Glad you had an amazing wedding! Congrats!

OH MY GOD! I have the chills. I want to cryyyy for you! That sounds so horrible! I cannot ever imagine going through what you went through. I am sooo sorry for all your troubles! I don't know what else to say... nothing I will say will make it better--but I am so sorry.

In Brooklyn there's a few places on Sheepshead Bay Road--Monica's Bridal, Galit, and another two stores (I forgot their names.)

Congratulations to the new brides! Can't wait to see your reviews and pics

#6 is gorgeous!!!

I like #3 a lot!

Sunitam & Kat, thanks for getting back to me--yay I'm happy! Everything is coming along slowly but surely

Cubsfan & Rabutler--good luck, wish you guys an amazing wedding & amazing trip!!! Sunitam--did your photographer stay in the hotel? I'll have to speak to Claudia, but I'm nervous. How much was the fee?

I remember that someone on this forum hired an outside photographer from the U.S. to stay at Dreams...I don't want to search the thread b/c its late & i have a final in the a.m, but please private message me. I want to ask how it works & if Claudia still makes you pay an extra fee even if they're a guest at the hotel. Thanks in advance

Hey girls, Just wanted to let you know that I've changed my wedding date Two days less lol!

Oh wow that's gorgeous! I've never seen a petal runner before.

Congratsss! Welcome!! & Happy Planning

Thanks for your review! You looked beautiful! Glad you had a wonderful time!

I got one-- for the reception I'll be changing into a short white dress w/ tulle and flowers on the bottom so its like weddingy.

Everyone on this forum who's gotten hitched had great hair! DIY, or did you bring someone down? Is it really possible to get what you want without ever consulting the person who will do your hair!?! The thought fills me with anxiety! I don't want a birdnest for a head! For other brides to be, I've gone through every mag possible, but found really great hairstyles here! Also, they have some really cute flower pins!! Hair Comes the Bride - Brides What's the deal, who's wearing what, and are you supposed to have a hair trial if you're going to have it done by someone else? Wow.. going to have to check out this site in depth. Thanks for posting it.

The donation to charity is such a great idea. And the boat ride will be greatly appreciated. You should ask the charity for cards with it's logo and use them as place cards w/ a thank you on them, thanking all the guests for the donation

Simbaism, love your pics! They were beautiful. & Cassondra, thanks for the review it was really good and the pics were great as well and cant wait to see the pro ones

Great review! Looks like you had a blast! Can't wait to see more pics. Congratulations!
