Thanks everyone. I want my FI to love how I look that day but honestly I don't know how much he will care about the "outfit" but I started to stress a bit. Thanks for making me feel better!

Well I need to start dress shopping but I am a little concerned after watching a wedding show with my FI the other day he made a comment about not liking "V-neck" dresses...one of the dresses I love is a "V-neck" Should I just go with what I like on me or lean towards something I know he would like. Anyone else run into this? Chrissy

Our guys are planning either a fishing trip or golf trip the day before the wedding & the women...spa time of course : ) We are also going to have some fun events like beach volleyball, happy hour, wine tasting etc that don't require extra fees because they are included in our resort fees

I am so concerned about getting stuff there undamaged, etc. Does anyone else worry about this?

Congrats & welcome!

That really sucks. My FI's brother & his wife got pregnant after we announced our wedding and plans. They are due at the end of December so I doubt that they will be attending the wedding in May with a 5 month old. I felt horrible because my FI really wanted his brother by his side but I decided that we are going to have fun, no matter who is there & celebrate our time together & our love. As much as we want them there we are still going to have fun & not let it ruin our day if they don't show up. Just think about how much fun u will have in Mexico with your future husband : ) Chrissy

These are great but how are you getting everything there...I think this is one of my biggest stress points right now.

It is...I was thinking that today. We are traveling a lot over the holiday, I still need to go dress shopping & work on ideas for my gift bags.

Our contenders: Making Memories of Us - Keith Urban Lucky - Jason Mraz Only You Can Love Me This Way - Keith Urban I would have loved Bless this Broken Road but my future brother-in-law & his wife used it.

I am a May 8th bride. We really wanted May 5th (day of our first date) but it just didn't work out with the days we wanted to travel. Close enough though and my parents are having their 35th wedding anniversary May 10th so we get to celebrate that on our trip as well.

We decided against an AHR. Initially we were going to have one but my cousin got engaged shortly after we did & is getting married the week after we get home. At her wedding we will see almost everyone and get to celebrate with her. I am sure, knowing my mom (ha), we will have some small party when we get home with close friends that couldn't join us.

I watched one of his shows for the first time yesterday & he just does an awesome job. I am sure his services are rather pricey.

We aren't getting married until May but we decided we aren't going to impose a dress "code" on anyone. We are just excited our family & friends are spending the money to come spend the time with us. I asked my MOH to wear a sundress and the guys linen pants & white short sleeve button shirt but if they don't, no harm.

Anyone getting married or has gotten married at a Beaches resort know how much you can customize your cake?

5 1/2 years ago I was going through the worse divorce (my point of view of course). My ex-husband cheated & got another woman pregnant. I swore I was done, I would just focus on my career. In the meantime I met J online and we started chatting. He too went through a divorce & we found comfort in our conversations. 6 months after filing for my divorce it was final & I met J in person. We had so much fun together & he made me laugh, something I hadn't done in a long time. He drove 2 hours to see me every weekend, even in snow storms. In July 2008 we started talking about getting married but we wanted to wait to get engaged until x-mas (we are both type A planners). One day while we were at the mall he suggested looking at rings & I found one I loved but of course, July wasn't in our plan. My birthday was at the end of July & I was not feeling well & he insisted we meet for dinner after work but I wasn't "allowed" to go home first. We went out to dinner with my family & then went home, when I opened the door there were candles, rose petals, roses, everywhere. And in the middle of our bed was a heart of rose petals with the ring box in the middle of it. I was shocked & when I turned around he proposed. I feel blessed that I have been able to find someone that truly makes me happy.

Another May bride! Congrats

Welcome to the forums!

Thanks Everyone! I'm excited to see how everyone's planning is going : )

Has anyone done an itinerary of events for your guest to participate in if they decide to? If so, what type of events have you put on this? Thanks!

This was my biggest concern...we will be gone for 2 weeks as well & I just don't know how we will fit everything, ha!

Hi there! May 8, 2010 bride here! We are getting married at Beaches in Turks & Caicos. I am so excited! We got engaged July 2008, booked our trip in Sept 2008 & sent out save the dates in January 2009. Our invitations are going out in February 2010. So far we have about 15-20 family/friends coming with us. I have purchased MIB invitations that are awesome! I will post pics here later. We haven't done too much more since we have just bought a house we are remodeling. Anyone else getting married same day/place? Chrissy

Hi everyone! Did anyone ship their OOT bags to the resort prior to your arrival & do you recommend doing that over trying to bring everything with you on a flight?
