Monica and Brandon. Oct 29, 2010 Excellence Resort. I am looking to share a photographer. DM me if you are getting married on this date.

Hello October Brides, I have officially book our wedding for October 29, 2010 at the Excellence Resort in Punta Cana!! I am looking to share a photographer if anyone has a great one.

Everyone, The WC at the Excellence tells me she has 3:30 pm slot available on the date on my preferred date of Oct 29, 2010. Anyone know if it will be too hot at this time in October ? I don't want everyone to be sweating buckets. Thanks

Hello Everyone. Here is our story. I am still finalizing details but we will be getting married in the fall somewhere in the Dominican Republic. _____ We spent Christmas Eve with my family and had plans to drive to NYC to spend Christmas day with his family. When we got home Christmas Eve night, we were getting ready to turn in for the night when he gave me this really sweet card saying I was the best thing that happened to him....blah blah. He called it my pre Christmas gift. I thought that was it and we would open our real gifts when we awoke Christmas morning, so I get up to finish my bed time routine. When I get back in the bed he's sitting there and grabs my hand and asks me to marry him. I thought he was kidding as we had done this before. So I said no. Our running joke had always been, “I will know you’re serious when you ask me with a ring". He than said are you sure while opening the ring box. I didn't see the box at first. My response was OOOO I guess your serious this time. So of course I said yes and spent the early morning hours of Christmas morning cheesing with my mind racing about actually getting MARRIED! So I spend the next few days just reveling in the idea that I am engaged. So as this was the week between holidays and my birthday is December 28th and Brandon's birthday is December 31st we typically both take the week off. This year Brandon couldn't get off which left me home alone all week during the day. On the morning of December 30th, Brandon had to go to work and I awake to find my engagement ring missing. Brandon had told me a few days before he was going to get my ring sized properly so I thought nothing of it. Brandon called me from his office to tell me he had some surprises for me. He had made an appointment for a Manicure and Pedicure for me at a Spa. Now of course this excited me and I was very happy to go have my services. When I got home after my very relaxing hand and foot massage he was there waiting on me. Said he had a few other surprises. He suggested we have a date night and go out for dinner & movie so we get dressed and head out. When we get to the downtown area he tells me I need to blind fold myself. Of course I'm mortified and can't understand why. I could hear him snapping pictures of me blind folded. So we drive around a bit longer and we finally stop driving. He comes around the car and still blind folded he takes me into a building, up an elevator, then into a room. He had booked a suite at a Bed and Breakfast for us for the evening. Of course I'm feeling so overwhelmed. But back to the task at hand, we had tickets to see Avatar in 10 minutes. So we head out of the B&B to the movie theater which is about a 5 min walk away 5 minutes in the coldest weather in history it felt like. Movie over we head back to the B&B by cab to get the car to go to the restaurant for dinner. When we got to the car and the B&B, Brandon mentioned needing to go back upstairs for something. This didn't make sense to me so I start questioning him on why we couldn't just get in the car and go. But he insisted, so we went back up stairs. When we get to the door of our room he hands me our video camera and tells me to hit record as soon as he opens the door. When I open the door there are candles and fresh rose petals all around the room and the Jacuzzi tub. The music is going it is just beautiful scene so I'm walking around the room and when I come out from the bathroom Brandon gets down on one knee and says he wants to spend the rest of his life with me and this is my real engagement ring. The little ring I had been flashing all week to everyone while people giving me the side eye was a Big Joke!!!

Hello Brides, I have FINALLY decided to go with the Excellence for my wedding. I have read the thread hope I'm not duplicating. My proposed wedding date is October 29, 2010 1. What deposit amount is needed to confirm your date and time? 2. Did you all book your resort and travel at the same time? I see the confirmation form I received from asks for my travel agents information. I'm still working on that. 3. Does the Excellence offer any 'freebies' I need to ask for? 4. Did anyone else work with Ana and how did you find her response time to your emails? 5. Can anyone recommend a GREAT travel agent? I'm in Baltimore, MD Any advice you can offer to a newbie just starting to plan please share. Thank s

Would you mind sending me the 2010 prices as well please my email addy is [email protected] Thanks

Also, what is everyone giving their guests/wedding party as gifts? Thanks! Hello Everyone, I am Monica I am new here. My FI is hell bent on NOT doing the civil wedding first. He say's he only wants to get married ONCE! So I am probably going to make a consession and compromise on this issue. So I need to real truth on the actual process of getting legally married in the DR. Also was there any trouble having your marriage recongized by your local state when you returned?

I am looking for resorts as well. Please help us

Hello Everyone, My Name is Monica. I am newly engaged as of Christmas Eve 2009. I am considering destination weddings. I haven't set a specific date but are leaning toward the fall 2010. I am looking at St. Thomas and Punta Cana. Seems like lots of info on this site for Punta Cana but not much for St. Thomas so if you have any personal experience with Resort on this island please contact me.

Hello Everyone My Name is Monica and I am newly engaged. I am considering St. Thomas as the location our wedding. Would any of you be able to make recommendations on Resorts? I am looking at about 50 guests. Thx
