When are you leaving to go to the other resort? Because I am also doing TTD and Arnaud is coming over the very next day of my wedding to do them.. and I don't have to pay another pass. Maybe you can consider this if your not leaving the very next day. Congrates on getting your date confirmed!!!! yaaaaaaaaaaah :)

really! how come 2 different resort's in 1 day?!

no problem.. I do that myself all the time lol.. so just to clearify.. There are no half day passes so 9am-6pm $60 and 6pm-2am $60. It'd be a lot if a guest was staying at another resort and it was a couple coming for the whole day!! $240 !!!!!!!!

Great thanks!! Happy to hear that I didn't want to have to worry about dinner music lol. What about the ceremony? While guest are waiting for you, as they are sitting them selves.. did you have prelude music?

Great thanks so much for that info.. I look into getting a friend of my moms to do that for me.

Great thanks so much I look into that!! Cause I'll definitely need it lol My Last trip we went with Sunwing.. and I was over by 15kg, they wanted to charge me 20$ a kg so I took a bag took some stuff out of the big bag and ditch the little one ... for $5 a day to keep it at the airport. So I kind of don't want to go through that especially on my wedding vacation, because there will be nothing to take out lol

oh lucky! I have no friends in the US.. altho my mom does.. maybe i could do that.. so if she she send's it to you there is no duty fee? or your friend just pays for it? I am wondering if it's even worth going that route Thanks!!! I couldn't find the link lol.. I have a little bit of problem maybe.. as I bought my package with TMR and the plan is Air Transit.. so it'll probably be different then actually buying my package with air transit.

Are you using WEDO or the Consulate in Toronto or Montreal I'm confused as to what to do now, but I really need to figure it out ASAP!!! I am getting them done by WEDO in Ottawa.. it's a lot cheaper then Montreal.. WEDO is charging $300 and Montreal is charging $525! Nope I thought it was 3 months before as well, but I called and it's 30 days!! If you'd feel more comfortable.. call WEDO and they'll give you all the correct information.

Thats great news, so happy to hear they went well.. can't wait to see a pic if your showing. Since I know how personally they are. Thanks for sharing for the VS specials. I need to order a romper from there so why not a bathing suit to add on that list (I need a strapless one for the tanning lines for the wedding dress) Just sucks cause I have to pay the exchange rate, and then duty fee. Which isn't cheap. Ah well.

Nonnie, I was wonder.. do I need to make up dinner music? Did you have music for dinner? did you have a full private dinner? Thanks so much!!

We're also flying with Air Transit now.. That's great news.. I'm telling the FI now.. maybe he can worry a little less lol . How did you go about getting the extra weight? I wanted to do that.. pack all my summer stuff that is my closet or dresser, the FI said it was way to early.. what does he know!! lol

We're going the 10th, and leaving the 24th. I'll update the list tomorrow! so pls for the new comer's add your name, date of arriving and leaving.

I feel ya, I have 14 days plus oot bags and other wedding items!!! The FI is freaking because on a normal 7 day vacation I sometime go over my allowance, so with the wedding stuff and an extra week.. we are looking into buying some sort of extra luggage weight.

We hope to fool our guests into thinking that the ceremony at the resort is official. Is anyone else doing this? I thought I read someone's comment about the fact that Carolina will give you fake papers to sign so that everything looks legit. Can anyone on here confirm if Carolina performs the symbolic ceremony and if so, can we give her our personal vows to read out loud and have us repeat? Also, for those of you doing the sand ceremony thing, how do you plan to bring the vase home unless it has sealed lid on it? I'm not finding very many of the jars online that have lids. Any suggestions? Thanks! I was going to do the symbolic there and do the legal here..but my mom and FI didnt want that...thats how I got the second week lol. Carolina does the vows for you, and it's included in the $650 price. So if you want to safe the $300 you can. You can even bring some 'fake' papers yourself and ask her to includ it in your ceremony. I am also doing the sand ceremony... and we are getting a kit with a lid on it... however you may (probably not but may) have problems trying to bring it back since your not allowed to bring sand back.. so What I am doing is the same day we get married (at night) I will put epoxy clue in the jar and it'll clue the sand the way it was set.. this way there is no worries when you come home that it wont be the way you guys had poured it in.

We booked 1 week.. we got our time when we booked 5 months ago. It was 12pm and arriving in punta cana at 4 something. But since we switch and added an extra week, or flight has changed from 12pm to 7am!!! (I am not a morning person lol) and also we were flying with Air Canada (which allows more luggage allowance) now switch to Airt Transit (less luggage allowance) So we are currently figuring out when we can do to add some extra weight (buy extra weight allowance)

Where I am my parents paied 1208 tax in for April.

Me too I am terrible nervous... your also doing the legal ceremony?

oh yes you were at Fairview! I live 8 mins away from there lol!! What a small world. Yes st-hubert is the best!!!! especially when your planning a wedding. Ok I know the area fairly well!

Quote: Originally Posted by sungoddess_08 When did you get the "contract" that she had you sign and send back? I am sure it will be fine, and we all know that's what happens with a Destination Wedding -- lack of control, lol I think I just want to get the confirmation from Carolina instead of her assistant, then I will feel better lol. Tracy! I just noticed you live in Montreal! We were there over Christmas and are going through in a few weeks to a wedding in Sherbrooke! I got the contract with the wedding packages.. she never told me i had to fill it out and send it to her. Maybe it's something I'll send to her when I send my legal and translated documents. Oh really!!! where were in you in mtl over the holidays? I live in the west island.. not sure if you know it. Sheerbrook is more consider Quebec to us montrealer's lol!! A little colder there.. where exactly are you in Ontario? all my family is scattered around ON

I am in the accounting world,I know how busy it gets. A lot of companies real busy is April because of their year end.. its the reason I am having a hard time find a job in this position(plus the lack of french) because I'll be gone for 2 weeks in April.

That paper you mention, i have it, but never had to sign it or send it to her!!! so I don't even have that as a contract. I will definitely bring all he e-mails with the confirmed time and date and any other question i had ask and she anwered. Hopefully there will be no problems and we all get married! ohh so no one else will be there before us! Dawn, when are you arriving? Courtney, Your also doing a legal ceremony right?

Yesterday I worked about 14 hours and today is going to be a solid 12 hour day - and that's actual office time, nothing to do with my commute in or out I'm exhausted and really wish that I could just go home. The only thing keeping me going tonight is that I'm meeting my sister for drinks at 7pm and get to go show her my dress if it's still at the store. Not sure because of all the 2010 ones that would have come in and mine of course is a 2009. I can't wait for this week to be done! I am so sorry to hear you've been having a rough week Meghan, I've done those work hours (probably the reason I've been off of work so long) All I can say is be careful of a burn out. What's with the work load?! At least you can to break up the horrible week with a visit with your sis, let us know if the dress was still there and you were able to show her!! does she also live in Calgary?

[email protected] that's the new e-mail address that is on the website to get in contact with Carolina! you'd think they would contact thier brides and let them know their e-mail has changed! Who's getting married next, and are you having a legal or symbolic wedding? I am freaking out a bit again, over the fact I haven't sign a single paper saying I'd be there, or put a deposit. Now no one can get in contact with her, I guess I've had some time on my hands and the nervousness has officially kicked in lol!!!

DAY OR NIGHT PASS FOR GUESTS STAYING IN OTHER RESORT From 9.00 to 6.00 pm (Day pass) --- 60 US Adults / 30 US Child (between 5 and 12 years old) From 6.00 pm to 2:00 am (Night pass) --- 60 US Adults / 30 US Child (between 5 and 12 years old)

That's the e-mail add I've been using which gets bounced back. I used another add, that went through, I had posted I think? but not sure if an actual Wedding Coordinator got it.
