Congratulations on your engagement!

Depending on the dress you're looking for, you may be able to pay a bit extra for rush shipping. You can certainly do it, you've got plenty of time!

Congratulations! I agree w/jennster, the 2nd time is better!!

Congratulations & Welcome to the BDW forum! You'll find all the answers to everything you need to know & you'll become addicted very quickly! Happy planning.

I will definitely strangle any DJ who tries to play the Macarena! That dance should have never been made public!! LOL

Congratulations & Good Luck with your planning!

LOVE your dress! It looks stunning. Thanks for sharing!

Welcome! Congratulations on your engagement!!

Congratulations! Welcome to the forum, you'll be hooked in no time!

We're going to sneak off to the courthouse before our trip & have the legal ceremony. I liked the suggestions from the other thread about not saying vows/exchanging rings at the courthouse. We're having the symbolic ceremony at the resort & keeping quiet. I have found out that if I use the minister provided by the resort, he speaks only Spanish so I'm curious how that's going to be!? lol

Everything looks amazing! Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see the review afterward!

I'd still be stressing out about documents & $$ if it weren't for this thread! We're going to 'sneak off' to the courthous beforhand & do the legal ceremony before heading down to the DR. It's only $60 for a marriage license here versus over $500 to have all of our documents translated!

Thanks for the input girls! It certainly helps to have different viewpoints. I am certainly hoping that my brother decides to just bring her for a few days. We are getting married on Monday, Dec. 6th. I had suggested to him to bring her Saturday through Tuesday so we'll see. She returns to the neurologist in a couple of weeks, I'll definitely talk to him & see what he thinks as well. I feel like I've gotten a huge group hug this afternoon! LOL

I'm with you girls, work, work, working my way to 150! Can't wait to be able to download stuff. Thank goodness for all the newbies that I can post well wishes for! LOL

Glad things worked out, funny how they have a way of doing that most of the time! lol

Congratulations! Welcome to the forum, you're going to love it here. There are several TA's on the forum who can answer your questions about hotel rates. It's been my experience that a TA can usually get a much better deal than booking through the resorts directly. Doesn't hurt to check on both!

Negril is absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations on your engagement! Happy planning

Sounds horrible but I can explain! First of all, this is the 2nd marriage for both myself and FI. My mother (my father passed away in 1992) was a big part of my first extravaganza. My FI eloped & didn't include any family in his 1st go round. His mother is attending OUR wedding with two of her girlfriends & his father will be bringing his wife. Here's my dilemna, my mother has alzheimers/dementia. She's totally healthy physically, mentally not so much! My brother has nicely volunteered to pay her way to the DR for our wedding in December. While I love the idea of having my family there to be a part of everything, I know that she's going to be completely confused & I'm going to end up spending more time worrying about her than anything & I won't be able to totally relax & enjoy myself. She still lives by herself & is very comfortable in her own surroundings. I just don't think she's going to do well with this kind of trip & I don't trust my brother to babysit her the whole time they're there. So far, I haven't figured out a way to nicely say "I love you but I don't want you at my wedding...." without starting World War III. The upside is that if I tell her, she's going to forger the conversation anyway!
