Hi Ladies, first off sorry to call you out but I wanted you to definitely see the post...hehehe. I have everything really set for my wedding except for music. Can you ladies share who you are going with for music for your wedding and the cost. My hotel uses a dj named William John who charges $295/hr. I know that Mercedes Benz said she used a dj named Subtronic Sound but in my search have not been able to find him. Who are you using?

Does anyone have any other location suggestions or specific resort suggestions in any of those destinations? Thanks! We are heading to Bora Bora for our honeymoon. We're doing Bora Bora, Moorea, Le Taha'a and Tahiti. On another note why don't you try La Romana its beautiful and perfect for honeymoons!!! It is a distance away from Punta Cana though or Cap Cana!!

My dress hem is being done for the 4 inch Badgley Mischka shoes I picked out but I am 5'1 so when I hit the sand I know the hem is going to drag. I was thinking of going for wedges in the sand. What is everyone else doing about hem length and sandals?

LadyTrunck I've seen your posts a few times but just had to stop and tell you the bunnies always make me smile! Too cute!

I have to agree with many of the other ladies, Nadine and Ana. I don't think you should go behind his back and upgrade. I recently helped my best friend pick out an engagement ring for his fiance and I know what you mean by the specs you can see, they are called feathers. It is very rare that a diamond doesn't have a mark, its what makes them unique unless you get a flawless diamond. Even if you get a VS1 there will still be markings on it, granted they may not be visible to the naked eye. I think you should talk to you FI about it. Be honest but also be prepared for his honesty in return. If your jeweler is one that does upgrades discuss that option with him but really think to yourself first wether it is that important. Its the thought behind the ring and the promise to love and cherish you, not the ring itself.

Lexibride that parasol looks fantastic!! Are you going to sell it after you use it?

Congrats and welcome! Happy planning!

I'm going to give it another week of searching every day (since rates change constantly) and if I can't find it that cheap again, then I'll just end up booking. I can't imagine how many guests are going to wait last minute, after already booking their hotel, to realize flight prices went up. Especially if a lot of us are leaving on the same day on the same flight, the good prices will be taken quickly. On a personal note, my fiance promised me sushi tonight (I've been craving it for weeks), and he just informed me we can't go now because there's a basketball game on! I'm getting jipped, no sushi and I have to watch basketball. Time to make a martini hahaha Hi Ladies I couldn't help but notice alot of ladies are waiting for fares to drop to there respective destinations and was wondering did anyone set up a discount code with the airline directly? I did it for my wedding group since my best friend is a travel agent he mentioned it since if everyone went through him he charges a fee. Basically you call American Airlines or whatever carrier ask for their group sales department and tell them you are having a destination wedding and need a discount code. Its only 5% off but it helps. From there all of my guests just looked at the prices and waited till they saw them at their lowest and booked with the coupon so they got the lowest price and 5% off of that low price. I know for my in-laws it was perfect they were having a hard time finding flights under $500 and one day they found some used the code and booked their flights for $420 roundtrip from IL. If you use a travel agent then they can offer the discount but of course beware cause some also charge a fee for using their services so it may work out cheaper the other way. Happy planning!
