Cool! Thank you so much! I'm still a Noob so I can't download any attachments, yet. Getting closer everyday, though, ha!

So gorgeous!! Thanks for sharing all the pretty pics, sspiris! I'm trying to stick to my guns w/a simple dress, but seeing pics like these make it really hard hahahaha!

Great ideas, ladies! I'm trying to put the local activities list together for our website so all this is way helpful! I didn't even think to check tripadvisor for other stuff besides hotels. Thank you!

I think the bdw girls should get a cute nickname. hahahaha! my FI hasn't quite noticed yet b/c I cover it up so well but I do that a lot! hmm...BDW Bettys? I guess that's a little long, but it's the first thing that popped in my head I'll keep thinking...

Congratulations!! Welcome to the forum! I was in your shoes about a month and 1/2 ago so I feel ya! Definitely check out the Jamaica threads, like Karla suggested. Everyone here is so helpful so I know you'll find what you're looking for soon Good luck & happy planning!!

OMG!!! Those are seriously, absolutely gorgeous!!!!! I'm so happy for y'all! Your FI's ring is EXACTLY what I want to get for my FI. I'm so digging the two-toned look right now!! I can't wait to show him that pic w/diamonds. He's not a jewelry guy, but your FI's looks so classy he just might be down for it, lol. I love the under design on your engagement ring, too! Great job Is the tungsten very heavy? I've never seen a tungsten ring in person.

Great review!! The Chapel sounds wonderful! What menu choices did you go with for your at the reception @ the Royal?

WOW! those are fantastic! i love how your dress draped over the rocks! so gorgeous!

Thank you! I didn't even think of something like that. I did hear about buy supplemental travel health insurance (if your work insurance isn't that great like mine). I'm looking into that right now and will add this to the list,too!

Hi there! Congratulations & welcome!!!

good tip! I hope I can remember it by the time my wedding is here ha! Good thinking on the vaseline, too!

I haven't even thought about the legal day clothing so I'm glad I found this thread!

So we'll be there from Saturday, Sept. 19th till Sunday, Sept. 27th - we're going to stay at the Gran Porto because the rates were extremely lower than The Royal. Anyway, I thought I would let you all know incase you have anything you'd like for me to research or find out while staying on the property. Also, do you know of any weddings happening the week of Sept. 19th? I'd love to meet up with a few brides while there. :-) How awesome!!! I so wish we could do a site visit, lucky!! I'm not sure on the weddings at that time. The earliest ones listed that Oscar_Ernie put together from this thread start in late October.

Granted she says yes we plan to send out 2 checks to hold both properties until we go for our site visit to PDC and decide. Do you know if you can pay by CC? My father gave us a CC to charge all wedding related stuff, so id rather use that then to send a check in the mail and keep my fingers crossed that it makes it there. Has anyone else done this? Or did you all just leave your deposit while @ the property? I know I was talking about May and thats what our engagement annoucements say that we sent out to everyone, However my best friends job schedule is insane and he can not get off until june (my best friend is my brother) so its a big deal. Also does anyone know if they have wheelchairs at the hotel? My father is handicapped and walks on crutches and the property is pretty big so.... I assume if not there must be some sort of rental company? thanks in advance girls. I paid our deposit by CC last week via email to Kimberly R. The paper I received said they only accept Visa and Mastercard. She'll send you the contract info and the credit card charge letter. I'm not sure about the wheelchair thing but surely they do. Did you sign up for the webinar next month w/TA Jennifer? That is definitely something you can ask the staff then. Here's the link to the thread: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t48129

They are really cute. They come in Pink/White, Teal/White, and other summery colors, both flowers and stripes. I can email you a pic if you want to send me your email address. Sorry, I dont know how to post pictures. I would say they are 24" wide and 16" high. No type of closure at the top, but they do have a small pocket inside. Let me know if you need more info! I bought some today! Thanks Bakersgirl!! They're over by the clearance pool items at the front of the one I went to today, not by the regular tote bags. I put a regular roll of paper towels on one of them so y'all could see how big they are. They had bright yellow (pic), turquoise (pic), pink (dark but bright), orange (dark but bright) and green (grass colored, not lime).

I couldn't resist pulling it out and looking at it. All now I have to wait for, is for him to talk to my dad. We're living with my parents right now, my dad isn't going to say no, but I want it done. Maybe I'll snap a picture of it this week. Hahahaha! Sneaky socks! Congrats on the soon-to-be engagement! I'm in Mansfield (next to Arlington, TX). Welcome to the forum!! It's a great place to find LOTS of ideas! Happy planning! Let us know when he pops the question!

WOW! Very cute! I really like that they're all different, too. Great find!!
