Congrats! Hey how long did it take you guys after sending the faxed request form to get a response about sending your credit card info?

Hi ladies! My FI and I have not booked anything for sure yet, and we thought we decided. Now I'm second guessing myself when I see things about the beach not being the same as Bavaro beach, etc... What are your thoughts? Is Iberostar Bavaro a better wedding ceremony? We are doing it on the beach 100%, so thats why the beach is so important for us!! Any feedback from Dreams PC brides or Iberostar Bavaro Brides on their experiences, and which I should choose! We are going to get married in early July, 2010. Thanks so much! I am also trying to find some wedding pictures of Iberostar Bavaro, so if anyone has any I could see (especially of the beach ceremony) I would REALLY appreciate it!!

We are doing boarding pass and including the business card size magnets with only the date and place. But on the STD we have Travel agent info and a link to our website, where guests can RSVP! I think using something as a card backing would work nice, with the little slits holding the magnet to it. Perhaps use the card backing in one of your wedding colors? That could be a nice touch! Ours are like that, and they look pretty nice so far

my dad is doing a tan pants and short-sleeved button down shirt. Not sure on the color yet, since our groomsmen might be wearing a light blue dress shirt we don't want my Dad to match them. But thats the basic framework for ours anyway My Dad is super casual, so the idea of a full suit is completely NOT his forte! Haha

They are both shades of blue, so it isn't like you are trying to put clashing colors together! I think it will look very pretty, and your MOH will stand out!

I will take your real touch flower lily I will PM you now about it! Sorry to hear about your DW, but I'm sure your wedding will be beautifully East Coast (I'm from Nova Scotia, Canada so I can appreciate!! )

by the way, our wedding is at Dreams Punta Cana!! CAN'T WAIT!!!

Name: Natasha FI Name: Benjamin Wedding Destination: Punta Cana What made you choose this destination? We love the beach, and we are having a beach wedding!! Wedding Date: July 2nd, 2010 What made you choose this date? We originally wanted Canada Day, but it meant we weren't in the DR long enough So July 2nd is the next best thing! Have you decided on your wedding colors? If so, what are they? Orange and Aqua What is something unique about your wedding? We are going to be doing our ceremony in both official Canadian languages! Tell us anything else about yourself and/or your wedding: We are unique i the fact that will be having 3 AHR's!!

KarenM- we saw those ones on the internet, but for some reason or another my FI is determined to have it on the butt... haha! Do you think I could buy the plain ones and get the iron-on decal for the butt (not like jewels or anything)? Anyone who does DIY projects with this, could you tell me? Thanks ladies

hey ladies! Anyone have an answer about my Just Married groom board shorts? I thought of something else that FI and I are trying to decide. My FI will be wearing a beige linen suit (with subtle white pin stripes) from Le Chateau. We are trying to figure out what his groomsmen should wear? Any ideas?

My FI and I have families that come from different parts of the country, so we have to have TWO AHR's! Actually, we are having three, two in Montreal and one in Halifax. The AHR's in Montreal will both be casual (on is a BBQ at his Dad's and the other is in the VIP of a night club... don't ask) but the one in Halifax will be a little more formal simply because of the sheer number of guests we will have. We are having it in a community centre (that we get for free, yay!) and we are having hors d'ouvres, showing the slideshow and whatnot. Nut it will be an afternoon thing, so still along the lines of casual as well! It's whatever suits you, but we had to keep cost in mind, since we have more than one! Haha

I PMed you to let you know I sent my payment for the items I requested through paypal this morning!! thanks again!!

So nice!!! do they come in other colors?? My color scheme is orange and aqua. I'm not sure if I will be able to get them though, we may have way too many people... haha

My FI knows my weight as well, but its because we train together. He is a professional athlete, so his input and knowledge is very useful! It's just a number though, so who really cares? It doesnt make him love me aaaaany less

Dreams Punta Cana is rated pretty high, #12 out of 94 I believe!! Dreams Palm Beach is lower, but I think its in need of reno... although I'm not sure since I've never been. My TA said that Majestic Colonial and Dreams PC are pretty close in price, and that she doesn't see the reason for the higher price at Majestic... just a thought!!

This is really truly a touchy subject... I have been looking into quotes for my wedding next July (2010) and the rates were good, but it meant that all of my guests that paid deposits had to be completely paid up before Nov. 30th, 2009. There is no way that my guests have that kind of money just laying around, and some people are paying for themselves and their kids! We are waiting until after the early booking period to check out rates, because after that period the rates are what they will be (except for last minute packages) and it gives people until 60 days before the wedding to pay for their vacations. Just our way of doing it!

soon2bmrsc- I agree with ebredhawk... reading the reviews will only make you paranoid! Negative people can find something bad about ANYTHING, and unfortunately those are the people that go on to write reviews on sites like trip advisor! DPC is a resort that every travel agent (when I mentioned it) got excited about, one of them being a wedding specialist! So I think we are all in good hands... my Pollyanna post of the day! haha

I think I should mention that the 9 pounds lost so far have NOT been attributed to this diet (or any other diet for that matter), just sheer will power and lots of exercise!! I just need something to give me a little kick, and this seems like the best way. I love hearing the success stories and the progress so far, it's really motivating! Keep working hard ladies!

hey ladies! Thanks to the couple of you that sent me the diet, I am already on the band wagon, yesterday was my cheat day and today I am disciplined and strict! hehe

I am very interested in this, but like the others I cannot host! I think it will be really fun, so I hope we find someone that is willing to do it

Your BM's are so lucky you found those dirt cheap!! And the best part is, they look like they are very expensive... gotta love that!

Hey ladies! Any of you know where my FI can find something embroidered "just married" for him? He's looking for something along the lines of board shorts with just married on the leg or butt or whatever!! I have a "just married" bikini with rhinestones on the butt saying "just married", so it would be neat to match!

WOW that is so pretty! I already have my dress AND my TTD, otherwise I would be interested! It should go quickly

I just PMed you about the shout wipes, spanish for dummies books and the sunscreen, I plan to take them all!

hey ladies!! I would like to get on board with you in the journey!! I have like 25 pounds (approx.) to lose and I wanna give this diet a shot, since I have tried so many others! LA Weight Loss worked really well for me, but I always gave myself cheat days. How nice would it be to have that already "budgeted" in? Whoever has the information I need could you please pm me? Thanks so much!!
