I won't be using a judge though so that shouldn't be a factor and she said no one else is booked yet for that day, which is why I don't get why 5pm isn't an option.

They are amazing people, just remember to not go overboard though when they start trying to sell all their jewelry to you!

Ponguezi! (congrats in Swahili) That is so exciting. You are going to fall in love, I spent a month in Tanzania a couple of years ago and it was the absolutely best experience I have ever had. Safaris are so amazing, and I highly highly suggest making sure that you visit one of the Massai camps.

I didn't want to start the reception until at least 7 simply because they only allot 3 hours for you and we were planning on extending until 11. I also was going to have the cocktail from 6-7. Now I'll do the 4pm ceremony and I guess have some lag time until the cocktail and reception time. I'm not worried about making sure there is time for pics since I intended on doing these during the cocktail hour anyway. I'm bringing my photog with me and she's pretty much at my disposal. I just have to decide if I want to start the reception a little earlier than intended or not. Thanks for your input, I think starting the cocktail hour just a little later will be the best solution and give guests some extra time to take care of things for the reception begins.

It just throws off the timing of everything else, I was trying to prevent things from being spread out because I don't want my reception starting to early and ending early.

I just got an email back from Aurora today about ceremony time and I'm kinda bummed. I had my heart set on a 5pm ceremony but she said 12, 2, and 4 are the only options. I'm booking a year 1/2 in advance and I can't have a 5pm ceremony. Does Dreams never offer a 5pm ceremony?

Congrats and welcome to the forum, you're going to love it!

Congrats on the proposal yencie. Yes I was able to book already for a May 2011 wedding, and it simply came down to which resort would let me, we had 3 picked out and one said yes so we said yes! haha I'm super happy with our decision. I'm giving my photographer our deposit on Friday. Ashley to answer your questions about the decor items, until I found this forum and starting looking at more pictures I wasn't planning on taking much with me, but now I'm taking a lot to help save money and because I know it will be what I want. I plan on getting real touch bouquets, chair sashes and overlays, and doing my own centerpieces to take with me. I'm going to just split it up between my guests and have receipts for everyone with everything to eliminate problems with customs.

istockphoto is where I get graphics but they aren't free

Happy Birthday Tammy!
