  1. didn't have to - go to work today
  2. We have been married exactly 2 weeks!!!!
  3. My FI is 32 and I am 24! I am so fortunate for the age gap, it was actually the thing that drew me to him! He's so mature and consistent!
  4. Hi again - I won't be posting pictures on here because I'm paranoid about the internet, but if you want to see some pm me and we'll go through facebook! thanks again carribbeanlover for the comments -- it's amazing that it's all over with! I remember feeling it would NEVER come haha! I couldn't be happier - now we'll just continue to enjoy the honeymoon!
  5. Wow - I feel for you more than you can imagine. My sister has schizophrenia and about 8 years ago we did not know where she was or if she was alive. She had a good life in Toronto, a good job and then the illness hit - and she was living on the streets for 3 years wanting no contact with us at all (schizophrenia causes delusions so she felt her family was out to get her) While she was homeless she became pregnant (a disturbing and sick result in itself) and had the sense to come home and get help. She has been on medication for 5.5 years and I have a healthy, amazing nephew. 3 months ago she had a relapse and we are back to square one -- she thinks we are out to get her. My parents have custody of my nephew but my family is distraught -- there is no sign of hope at this point. While it is not as bad as your situation, I can definately relate to the feeling of "what could have been different" - and the shock that something so terrible is happening. I can't offer any advice because I myself do not know how to deal with it - besides taking it one day at a time - but I want you to know that you should not feel any regret for the lack of communication (as I know I would if anything happened to my sister) - and you need to use this situation as a way to become stronger. I am thinking of you and your family, and hope you are keeping your head up during this tough time.
  6. Here's the link to the thread http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...-script-21660/ Also - I felt so confident with our first meeting with Carolina that I was totally at ease. As mentioned we met on Wednesday for about 45 minutes - picked everything we wanted. She asked me to leave my dress out on the bed on Saturday so someone could come pick it up for steaming. I came back on Monday before my hair appointment and it was all ready to go, hanging up along with my flowers and bouquets. She was perfectly on time and it was great. She also had us leave everything wedding related (music, guest favors, signs etc.) at the reception by Friday afternoon. Everything was so easy -- and when I saw her before walking down the aisle all she said was "you look beautiful, are you ready?" She was so calmning and I had no worries --- she had the music down perfect and all of the guests/bridal party at ease. I am still amazed at how smooth it went -- especially after seeing 3 weddings at Dreams Palm Beach -- it makes me feel so happy we went with GPPC and that we are so lucky Carolina was so amazing.
  7. We met with her the day after we got there -- and didn't see her again until the wedding (meeting was on Wed - wedding Monday). There is a thread on here with a ton of ceremony scripts - I'll try to find it and post it. Our guests did not suspect it was anything but legal - and Carolina even had a paper for us to sign!
  8. As scared as you may be right now -- I think it would be a great opportunity and something you love to do it sounds like. I would just be open to whatever happens and hope for the best! I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason - and life works itself out!
  9. Unfortunately the name of your post puts a very negative spin on the situation - you have to remember that it's both of your wedding and his opinions should not result in "ruining" the day. You should sit down and write the things that are most important to both of you and then figure out a way to do it. We had all the traditions you mentioned and we still had an amazing simple, low key wedding. There are many ways to make it work, but I think you need to alter your "dream" wedding to meet both of your needs.
  10. I made it!! The flight was perfectly fine -- I was more nervous going down there but we had all of our family with us so there was lots of distractions. I also took anxiety pills and that helped a lot. The second flight was a little better too -- I was still nervous but I feel much better now about flying. Thanks for the support!!
  11. We got married at the Grand Palladium Punta Cana (amazing choice -- could not be happier) and we spent our honeymoon at Dreams Palm Beach. I saw three weddings and wanted to give my opinion. I personally felt the gazebo was not a nice location (right between the lobby and noisy pool). The first wedding I saw was at 1pm, the bride walked out from the lobby and everyone was sitting in the pool watching her (sure this will happen most resorts) but there was no walkway for the bride, everyone could see her the entire way and she had to stop halfway for pictures -- it just looked awkward. The next wedding was at 3pm and I felt so bad for the first bride because she came by the gazebo at 2:30 and there was a completely different set -up. I imagine she felt a little disapointed when she saw it. The other wedding was on the beach, and again -- no privacy. People were lined up the whole way and others were standing in the water RIGHT between the bride and groom (and will be in every picture). The resort is nice, but if you are looking for that extra special feeling, I didn't get it from this resort. I was lucky at the GPPC and I guess after having mine I was more aware of the differences. Just an opinion because the gazebo looks great in pictures, but once I saw the location on the resort it was disappointing. Let me know if you have any other questions -- we liked the resort for our honeymoon!
  12. Hi girls -- I just wanted to write a post because we got married at the Grand Palladium last week and went to Dreams Palm Beach for our honeymoon. BUT our flight got delayed 21 hours so Sunwing sent us to Dreams La Romana for 1 night and day. The resort is beautiful and the wedding gazebo is spectacular. I wanted to write to let you know that it's a great choice - the gazebo is really private and near the Preferred section (which I would also recommend -- it's great with an infinity pool). The resort itself is similar to Dreams Palm Beach in Punta Cana (practically identical in every way) but the exception is the wedding location -- much much nicer than Palm Beach! We loved it and would go back next time! Hope that helps
  13. I used the spa services to get my hair done -- it was a last minute decision and I booked 2 days before. My mom decided the day before to get her hair done at the same time, and then my grandma decided the day of! None of us had problems booking or getting the time we wanted. There are 3 chairs there and enough staff...I would wait to book until you get there. Also, weddings are a priority so they will bump someone else if they need to to get you in -- haha they told me. We did the renewal of the vows, but we did not tell our guests. Carolina had paperwork for us to sign and everything! We gave her our own wording for the ceremony and we wrote our own vows.
