Considering that I confirmed my date last November, I thought for sure they would just wait til I got there to pay everything in full. Just a thought to those that have had the deposit taken out already...I'd def print out a copy of the statement and bring it with you in case they try to claim that they never charged it. Just a good idea to have everything in writing. Ok, I think that's all for my venting. Thanks ladies. I was charged my $100 deposit 6 months after my confirmation with no heads up, which I thought was ridiculous. and how can accounting still be back up for like a year lol........... I think thats just the excuse they give us.

those shoes are HOTTTTT !!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing Melissa, Erin the pictures are gorgeous !

Hey ladies, I feel like I miss soo much we I don't post for a couple days lol... welcome to the forum to all the new ladies ! How is everyone ? I have been super busy for the last 2 weeks and had finalized alot of my DIY things to print, and you guys will not believe what happen to me today, everything I saved and completed on my thumb drive got corupted and I lost everything I did, and now I have to start all over again. all my emails, guest list, invitations, programs, table cards, menu cards, inspirational picutures, everything. the only thing I was able to save was my pre travel packets and thats because I already printed those out and saved them on my work computer. so word of advice ladies save everything in 2 places lol...... other than that, my original update was going to be pics and post of everything I did lol... welllllllll guess I have to post that later. surprisingly I'm pretty calm I guess its because at least I know what I designed and I don't have to figure that part out again. sooo tonight I will be working my butt off getting everything back

Hey Christi, they have pretty much most of the flowers you would want to request, if you send the WC a picture she can get a quote for you on how much that particular flower will cost. I am waiting on a quote for all all green orchid bouquet. also here is the link to the local florist in the DR that they use :: Floristeria el Tronco :: - servicios

Erin what a great review we have been waiting for this one lol..... glad you had a wonderful time and congrats again.

Tara I'm glad that overall your experience turned out ok and you were able to roll with the hiccups. We are requesting to be in the same building but out TA made it clear that this does not always go as planned so we are aware and ready for that. I would love to see pics plase send them to [email protected]

Congrats Tara on becoming a Mrs. and Good luck and well wishes Elena on your upcoming big day. Ok now I gotta finish reading all the rest of the post so I can catch up and post my dress fitting pictures. Toya

OMG I'm soo glad you posted this, I was in the same boat for months because my FI best man had to back out and then most of his friends were also to cheap to come to the wedding so I had BM's and no groomsmen. Then finally 2 of his other close friends decided to go so now we at least have a best man and a groomsmen. I have 5 sisters and they were all suppose to be my BM's but since he only has 2 for his side, I had to only pick 2 of my sisters and that suckeddd.......
