Double ggggrrrrrrr......! I couldn't agree more!!! Guests had been harrassing me for months to lock in on a price so they could book their trip. so I finally did it and now not one person has booked yet and everyone just keeps saying well maybe I'll wait a bit to see if I can find a price cheaper then your group price. Don't these people realise it's not their vacation I'm trying to organize it's my wedding! I know I still have 2 1/2 months till the rsvp deadline but with everyone saying 'yes' and no one booking anything I'm unable to start making anything because I know half of those, if not more will turn into 'nos' and i'm not making 20 expensive bags to leave half of them at home to never be used and waste my money and time.

welcome aella!! we were going to book the riu but changed are minds the last minute...it looks beautiful though and theres tooons of info on it here. congrats!

ok so going to the link daphne gave me and the price katelynn gave i think I might have the right thing then but am confused because it doesn't say birth certificate is says statement of live birth. Do the ones you guys have not only have your fathers info but things like how much you weighed and who was the attendant and what not? I hope so because then I should be set! Thanks ladies for the help!

I'm having the same problem with her. I haven't heard from her for at least a month and even still it was because I had to get my TA to get her to phone me to just confirm she had gotten my credit card fax. I know she's super busy and there is probably so many brides trying to contact her but when I spoke to her she was a little snappy with me asking me "what is the problem, I have your stuff what is the issue?" all i wanted was for you to email me back saying yes you got the info and my date is secure. I've sent her another email asking her a few more questions but that was a month ago if not longer. I'm trying not to stress about it because so many brides have all said they stressed waaay too much for everything to be sorted out once you get down there, so I'm really trying to take their advice and just do what I need to do and hoping everything falls into place. With that being said to all of you Canadian/ontario brides...have you/where did you get your birth certificate with your fathers name on them? The only thing I could find was a statement of live birth and I'm not sure if thats acceptable and beverly isnt getting back in touch with me to let me know if its ok or not so any help from you guys would be great!

And I'm a little disappointed that they are going to reveal so early in the game who the sab. is.... Honestly, I'm sooo excited to find out who the sab is! Speculating is fun but I'm sure people are going to mail in crazy things for them to do and i think it will be so entertaining trying to see them pull it off....hopefully they stay in the competition for a while!

I guess one of the best parts is every time I watch and see girls come in and spend thousands and thousands of dollars, and I chuckle and think to myself, "my dream dress cost me $599 ! " hehe. I love the show too and can't believe how much money these girls spend on their dress! But i feel the same as you...happy they found theirs but happy I found mine that I love just as much for under $1000

We're off to the beach to get it done, come to Mexico and join in the fun. Definitely cheesy, but great for our homemade save the dates no way I love it! Homemade stuff like that is what saves you lots of $$$ in the longrun and people can see you put your personality into it.

Just wondering what you are all paying...is this outragrous as its about 1/2 our budget Hey Katelynn I'm actually meeting my photographers (theres 2 of them as well) in 2 weeks to discuss them coming down and what the costs will be to bring them. so once I talk to them I'll come back and let you know what they quoted us and we can compare and see if we're getting a good deal!

Thanks girls!!! oooo big bathroom we can all get ready in....definate plus! and I'm a non smoker and not a huge gambler so I definatly wont mind! lol

ohhh I'm so sad I dont have showtime....I really thought I did but it was showcase lol...oops. I'm going to check if i can download it but who knows if people will upload it. As for the saboteur I think I'm with you guys on kathy or the swim coach...but I'm leaning more towards kathy because like miss delerium said...she saw everyone else grabbing onto the top and she never tried once. Im so excited I have other people to talk to this show about because no one I know watches it...yaay!

I've read through and seen MGM but has anyone stayed at the signature at mgm? My 2 bff's just surprised me and are taking me there next month for mini girls weekend/bachlorette party. I've heard its super nice and am so excited!

Thank you so much for this advice! We're sending out our invites in a month and I was wondering what I should do if people don't rsvp on time. I guess it makes perfect sense though...they've known about it for a long time, espcially if you sent out a std...they've had plenty of time to think about it so stressing yourself out over it seems silly now. thanks girls!

Thought it was something unique and fairly reasonable priced...especially when they run their specials! Blooming Expressions Favor-Shell - David's Bridal Those are the cutest favours ever!

Hi Ladies, I figure I'll post with what we ended up going with...if a part of it is from you thank you sooo much! Also a big thanks to everyone else too though! He proposed she said yes! Where we're getting married though you'll never guess. It wont be in summer but the cold month of January. Don't be alarmed outside wont be snowy & scary. It's gonne be really hot we can promise you that. You won't need a parka, boots or a hat. Do you think you know? Do you have a clue? We're going to Jamaica mon! We hope you can too! We're getting married January 11, so you've got a bit of a wait! We're going to have an amazing time so be sure to save the date! Looking back I guess I never even changed it up too much LOL....but where I did I think it sounds way better. And of course MissLightingBug you can steal my ideas...I'm sure I've borrwed enough from other people on this site that it's my turn to give back! lol

I'm just seeing it all now and I'm sorry that siutation happened but maybe it was for the best. It will help strengthen your relationship and it just proves you two love each other enough to go through anything for each other! Glad to hear things are looking up.

im not sure if im geting him something or not because any money we can save is going to the wedding/honeymoon. at this point we're not even sure if we can afford to stay an extra week for a honeymoon so if we can i think it will be a good enough gift to both of us!

i think i will...not only our we the first to get married out of our friends but also one of the firsts of my family at least. there will be lots of singles to catch it!

cute! cant wait to see what u think of for the invite!

Hi and welcome...theres tons of info on mexico to really help you out! happy planning!

hey and welcome to the forum. We were going to get married in DR originally and go to dreams there...they look like such beautiful resorts. Happy planning!

I watched a few seasons ago but now this summer with saving money for the wedding i cant go out as often so I plan on watching it for sure. And after reading what Jensie wrote about how good bb after dark is...i think its safe to say i'll be addicted. (hopefully i get showtime..im not sure lol)

confession: I'm kind of glad my future bil and his wife can't come. They got married when they were 19 and are now trying to plan my wedding to be the one they never had. Now that they can't come though there finally leaving me alone!

congrats and welcome. I think a cruise wedding would be wonderful...you can get married in one country then sail off to the next!

hi angela and welcome...im also getting married in jamaica but in runaway bay...we're heading up to negril though for a honeymoon afterwards...your wedding will be gorgeous. You'll get lots of amazing photos at sunset! Congrats!
