Check out the Jamaican thread for some great info and ideas! There are a lot of us Jamaican brides, I'm sure you'll find all the help you need!!

I LOVE Timmy's of course! (I am Cdn!) But you could probably buy a good mix from any coffee shop, like Starbucks. They are probably better quality than the Swiss Miss. Also, for extra creaminess (is that a word?? LOL) use milk, it makes it way better! I love Candy Cane Hot Chocolate too!!!!

Hi Sharon! Congrats & Welcome to the forum! I don't how you would go about contacting a resort that is not open yet. But if you need info on Breezes Grand Negril, I can definitely help you with that as I am getting married there June 2010 and have been there before! Good Luck!!

Yes we are making bags for our guests. I've collected a few things so far, but I can't find any bags I like. And I don't want to spend a fortune on them. So I'll keep looking. They will be simple, with first aid and hangover kits, a few snacks, disposable underwater camera and we'll see what else I come up with! Are you planning on making them??

We have a pretty busy holiday, but it seems to work for us. Christmas Eve we spend with both our sets of parents and my brother, having chinese food! And then we will have Christmas day brunch with my family and a late dinner with my FI's family. In between we get to relax a bit. I'm not sure what will happen when we have kids, but for now everyone is happy.

Jenn, I don't know about how well the flowers travel, I'll have to ask! I never thought about that. We are just going to do our own invites, I mean everyone is already booked for the trip so its just a formality. And our AHR is casual so we don't need anything fancy. Its hard waiting for the rates to come in when you want to book! But its good you have 2 places you like so you can compare the rates. Hopefully you're able to get insight on the resorts from here too. I finally found someone on here who got married at our resort and its been so nice having her give me some tips. Good luck with the Boxing day shopping!!

Okay Peggers! I still need help getting some social donations. I know its the hardest part of the social, so I could use any ideas you have. We need basket fillers, like gift certs and stuff, and I'd like to get as many donated as I can!! So for those of you who have had your social or are collecting your prizes right now, where did you get donations from My one good tip is there is this really cute little restaurant in St.Boniface called Beaujena's. They gave us 20- $10 gift certs, plus $20 for my FI and I! Please share anywhere that you've gotten donations from! Thanks!!!

Hi Jenn! I know sometimes its hard to get on here when you realize there is more to life than your wedding! LOL I think I am going to get silk flowers. I was at my friends house a few weeks ago and she has hers on her mantel and its so nice to get to keep them! She actually got hers done by a woman in Lorette, MB. She's very reasonably priced and my friends bouquet looked awesome!! I just have to send her some pictures and hopefully she can find the flowers I want. My friend said she's great at keeping in touch, emailing pics in progress, which is important to me. Here's the website for anyone who wants to check her out: Home The social is coming along. We decided on doing pizza for the food, we can get it at cost from Domino's and it'll just be so easy to serve. My mom will make some cakes too and that will be that! We're still plugging along with getting donations, its the hardest part. After Christmas, we'll do some bargain shopping, we just gotta decide on what we want to get. I just found out my dress is shipping on Dec.18, so it should be here at the beginning of the new year! Jenn, I know yours is still far away, but have you made any planning progress? Cheers!!!

Welcome! It is hard to choose, but there are lots of resources here that should help narrow it down. Good luck!

Congrats & Welcome! Good luck planning! This forum has tons of ideas!!

Thanks for sharing everyone! I was kind of in a wedding lull, but this has gotten me excited again!!!

I'm not insisting on a lot, but darn it I LOVE chocolate and I am having a chocolate cake at my wedding! LOL If that's what you want then do it! Your sister can have her favourite at her wedding!

So cute! Congrats!!

Day 6 and its getting easier, the time just flies by!!! I think I could actually maintain this. And my FI said that my butt is looking great!!!!

I think I still have mine in the back of my closet. I should dig it out!!!

Its not Christmas for me until I hear "Carol of the Bells"...and I haven't heard it yet!!

Great photos, fun and romantic!!!

Even though he is dying to see it, my FI doesn't want to see it until its on me as I walk down the isle. My dress hasn't come in yet, but when it does I'm taking my MOH and her mom (a seamstress) to pick it up and its going to their house to live until we leave for Jamaica. I'll probably spend a lot of time there trying it on! LOL

Congrats!! I loved your vow, did you write it yourself
