My heart goes out to you. There is no easy answer right now, and your mind must be spinning. Please understand that each and every person who posted a reply to you did because they care. While you might be a stranger to us, what you wrote touched us. Your story touched a chord, because so many of us have been there, or watched friends and family who have been there. you are not alone in this. We want to help! We want you to have everything that you deserve in life. This outpouring of posts to you, shows you that we have got your back! Sisterhood in action! Take a moment and digest that, because that is very powerful stuff. No matter what anyone says to you, you have to make the decision that is best for you. Deep down in your gut, you know what that is. If you are not sure, then take some time, away from the kids, from him, from your friends and your family, and think. How does he make you feel? We have heard about the horrible things that he said recently , and what he had done. Is this indicative of who he is, or is it a temporary blip? You know what the answer is to that question. If your friends and family knew what happened, what would they say? If his actions can not stand up to their litmus test, then his actions are wrong, and you need to take action. If you spend any time unhappy, insecure, or frustrated because of your relationship with him, then end it now. It will not get better. you have to do this for your sake, but you also must do it for the sake of your children. Believe me, I have been there, Except I did not listen to my gut and I did marry him, and suffered the consequences. It took many years to get over that. Please do not do that to yourself and your children. There is hope! I am now with a wonderful man who treats me how I deserve to be treated, and I can be me, and be proud of it! Whatever you do it must be your decision, but make sure that you are making it for the right reasons. I hope that you take this message how it is intended, to be helpful, and to tellyou that you are not alone, and that you deserve the best life has to offer. It is up to you to make sure you get it. Take good care of yourself and keep us posted.

Congratulations, looking forward to the pics!

Hi there, Check out FIRST CHOICE TOUR JAMAICA on the web the owner, Curtis, has come highly recommended on trip advisor as someone to book day trips through, for quality, reliability and price. His site will give you and idea of what the costs are for the actual day trip portion. He is much cheaper than alot of the other companies. You can even email him and ask him about trips that you want to do, but may not be on his website, he will email you back and he is very accomodating! I am not sure if you have been to Jamaica before? I will assume that you haven't, and I will advise you as if that is the case. The other item you want to consider is if you are going to tip (you will soon discover that this is pretty much expected). If you are, you need to take small US bills, as you will not be able to break them in jamaica! This can be pretty frustrating if you are not prepared for that. I am getting ones and fives from the bank, little by little, so that I don't have to get it all too close to the trip when I m paying for other things! Typically I will leave a few dollars for housekeeping, a few dollars at meals, and occasionally at the bar. If you take any taxis or trips then the guides and drivers will "expect" a tip as well, and watch for the men in the aiport that offer to help you with your suitcase, they will also expect a tip! Tipping is obviously not mandatory, but you will notice that the majority of people do tip. Jamaicans are paid very low wages, and often the tips they make are considerably higher than their wages. A few dollars go a LONG way! Souveniers are pretty reasonable, especially if you barter, and in Jamaica they expect you to barter! NEVER pay what they say is the price of an item in any of the markets, because they will accept a lot less! They enjoy the whole bartering piece so do not feel shy to barter and save yourself a few dollars! I find that I do not spend too much at an all inclusive, and especially not in Jamaica. Really everything is provided at the resort other than day trips, and extras that you choose to buy for yourself. Make sure that you take anything with you that is "touristy" ie sunscreen, chewing gum, snacks, waterproof camera, over the counter medecine, etc etc as that type of stuff is really expensive. Better to take it with you! Hope that was helpful, and not too much info. Good luck, you will love Jamaica. The country is beautiful, and the people are amazing! I cannot wait to go back.

I think that 1500 for ROR seems pretty good. In terms of overall costs I thin the RIU chain is one of your best bets in JA. Lots of the other resorts have extra costs that RIU does not hav, such as pricier wedding packages. That being siad if you are wanting tonnes of upgrades, then that can get pricy at the RIU too. It depends on what typr of wedding you want. Simple or extravagant?

Wonderful pictures! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the tips about the welcome dinner and rehearsal dinner, I guess I should be emailing her as well!

Wow! Those pics are awesome, you looked wonderful!

I don't have any fishing boat captain contacts but I have been emailing Curtis at First Choice Tours in Ochie after I had read about him several times on various review sites. he is very helpful and may be able to hook you up with someone reasonable. His contact info is on his website

Hi there, I am getting married on Jan 15th so perhaps we shall see each other there? I didnot havethis problem with the TA I ended up using, but founf that many web based apps or other agents would not give me prices! So i do understand your frustration! I have been booked for over a month now, and it was a result of this, and pricing that I went with the TA that I chose. Let me know if you need more info! Congrats!

Beautiful pics!
