Thank you ladies for your support. You guys are sooo great Seems that this does happen quite often to others too. Hearing the way you handled it is helping alot. Thanks Ladies My Mom actually asked my sister if we could do a seperate dress shopping trip for her because my MOH who was coming in the same car as me and Mom needed to get home to her kids. So that's taken care of. As for the other issues - I'm sure we'll work it out. My sister takes off to Florida for a week or two soon so I'll wait till she gets back to discuss things with her. In the meantime - I'm definetly going to get my Save-The-Dates out asap so that the people who have to fly in to both weddings RSVP to ME first. lol. I'll keep y'all posted

Sounds good to me! I'll be there!

Thanks guys. I know, I am trying to see the good in it. Of course its going to be great to share my ideas and be able to talk non-stop wedding with someone I'm already close too. But then of course there is always a bit of that sibling rivalry. thats what I'm trying to rise above. I guess its good that I am having a destination wedding because our themes will be totally different. I will get used to it I'm sure. Thanks Ladies

I know this stuff happens. Love is in the air. And I am happy for her. But I cant help but feel like she is taking my thunder I would never tell her that, I know I'm being kinda selfish, (and its my time of the month so Im extra emotional) but I need to vent. I also know its not her fault, she had no idea that he was going to propose. It was a total surprise. My REAL issues with the whole thing is my Mom is making my wedding dress and my bridesmaids dresses. (My mom is an amazing designer and is making an amazing couture gown for me) and I know my sister is going to want the same thing - how is my mom supposed to have time for both?? ALSO this same sister is a ballroom dancer and she is supposed to be choreographing my wedding dance. She also works part-time on top of her dance business and it was hard enough for me to get time with her to work on my wedding dance - she's already said she doesnt know how she's gonna find time to plan a wedding! So now I feel bad taking up some of her time off We are going to try on wedding dresses this sunday (just to see what styles look good on me and get ideas) and now she wants to try some on too. So again, sharing the spotlight. Its also tough because I think they are going to plan for a wedding the summer or fall BEFORE mine. I had to plan a later date to give people time to save up because its a destination wedding. Hers will be local. Which is also kinda annoying cause now Im paranoid she is going to have this wonderful wedding with everyone in our family there (because its local) and nobody is going to come to mine because they cant afford it and Im going to be all alone in Jamaica. (k, thats a bit dramatic, but you get what I mean) I'm trying to be positive about it but I could use some support

Yay mrs.meyer73109!! Congratulations! I was also planning on staying at the Grand for my honeymoon and the cake info was very good to know. Im soo looking forward to your review! Welcome mobayjabride!

Hi Dodds, Question for ya: Were there any other 'unexpected' costs on the final bill from the hotel? Like gratuity charges or service charges or taxes on top of the quoted $2100 US? (I know about the $18US for each extra guest over 8 people)

This is good to know! I was worried about this too. Thank you Ladies!!

Wow, that was amazing! I LOVED your table number idea! That was soo cute and I bet the guests just LOVED it. Congrats!!

Welcome to all the new IRH Brides! Volleygriff, I too will be bringing somethings for decor - but I havent finalized what it will be. NegrilB, thanks for clarifying that about the chair sash colour choices - that's been a question of mine for a while. Guess I'm bringing chair sashes! I have NO IDEA how I'm gonna get all this there!!!!

Congrats Geralyn! Everything looked perfect - including you!! So happy for you

Aww Ebbica I read your thread about the cottage - that really sucks. I think this thread is great for all of us. I'm sure I will use it A LOT. The last week of planning is going to make you insane. But on your special day, just go with the flow and everything will be amazing. Deep breaths until then. *hugs*

I know you can also get floral centrepeices from the resort florist at an additional cost. You can also bring whatever you want an the resort staff will set it all up for you.
