WELCOME to the forum Stephanie!

Cupcake - how much were the custom glasses and the pomanders?

Passionsarcasm - I LOVE THIS IDEA! I think Im going to copy your idea. Hope you don't mind!!

I have no idea what Im going to do with my hair! My hair is thin and super fine...and get this the dear hubby to be has advised me that he would prefer, that I have no braids or weave! WHAT THE HELL? Okay, got that off my chest! LOL Also, he is VERY particular about who cuts his hair! Can anyone recommend a barber in MoBay? Thanks, Yolanda

Anyone have pink sashes...or a shade of pink? Im looking for around 50 Thanks, Yolanda My wedding is oct 22, 2011

Where on the Wish Lantern website does it list the sizes of the lanters?

I would be interested in going in with someone! The colors are pretty limited huh? I would be happy with plain white or assorted colors. Guess I should check with the hubby to be first? Let me know either way. I would need around 50

I'm trying to decide on entertainment for the bonfire and the reception. Has anyone hired or plan on hiring the Mento or Steel Drum band? How were the resort DJs? I was told that I have an option of an onsite or offsite DJ. Anyone have any recommendations or suggestions? Thanks, Yolanda

Iberostar Brides: I came across a wonderful candle company the other day. I've been looking for travel candles to include in my OOT bags, and found the Travel Tin Company. I ordered three 6 oz tins on Thursday and they were on my front step this morning!! Oh, and they offer a 40% discount per order of 50 candles or more and they have flat rate shipping of $4.99. Let me get to the most imporant part, the scents! OMG I ordered Caribbean Colada, Ocean & Jamaica Me Crazy! They all smelled WONDERFUL, but let me just tell you the Caribbean Colado is OFF THE FREAKING HOOK! I will be placing my order. If interested in ordering. You can email Nachelle Wallace @ [email protected]. The website address is www.traveltins.com. Check it out! Yolanda PS: Before I forget, the 6 oz travel tins are $7.99, but if you order more than 50, the price drops to $4.79 per tin! Think about it.

Brides to Be, Just had to share a GREAT candle company I found on line last week. I've been on the hunt for good quality travel candles, you know the ones in the metal tins to put in the OOT bags. And all I can say is JACKPOT!! "The Travel Tin Company" is GREAT, CHECK IT OUT! I placed my order Thursday, and it's was on my door this morning! But here's the kicker. I inquired about ordering in bulk...and if you orde 50 candles or more, they offer a 40% discount off of list price. Since they don't offer sample sizes to try out, I had to order their regular 6 oz tins which cost $7.99. They have a bunch of scents, however I narrowed it down to Caribbean Coloda, Jamaica Me Crazy and Ocean. Oh, and they gave me a free Sandalwood candle . All of the scents smelled INCREDIBLE...but ladies..the Caribbean Coloda....IS THE BOMB! I'm definitely placing an order of at least 50 (which brings my cost down to $4.79 per candle) If you're curious about the measurement the 6 oz is approximately 2-7/8"wide x 1-3/4" tall. They have flat rate shipping of $4.99. Oh, and for an extra $1 per tin, they'll place a personalized label on the bottom of the tin.

Congrats and Welcome to the group!!

I wrote him again, and he GOT RIGHT BACK TO ME!! We've spoken a couple of times on the phone and he seems like he's a totally doll! Can't wait to meet him

October 22! Let the countdown begin!!!

If anyone would like to order I would be more than happy to go in with some brides on the cost!!! Please lwt me know

The Grand WC told me they didnt have a roller. So i'm reaching out to a friend who has a relative who works for the Jamaican Tourist board. If it a no go, I'll just buy cigars or ask the hotel staff where to get affordable one! I'll keep you posted on what I find out. -Yolanda

Hey bToiinlove: Im getting married at the Grand and since they have a cigar bar, I just assumed that they would have a person that I could hire to roll cigars! Well, the WC informed me a couple of weeks ago that they don't and don't know where to find one! Which is insane...ITS JAMAICA...there's nobody that can roll? REALLY Anyway, that's the one thing that my fiance asked for...so one of my really good friends has a relative that works for the Jamaican tourist board who is looking into finding someone for me. If Not, I'll guess we'll have to purchase cigars from the bar too. I'll share whatever I find out on the roller. Let me know what you find out about the cigars at the resort! Thanks, Yolanda

Congrats MRS. DAISYMABLE! Looking forward to your pictures!

I'm getting married 10/22/11 at the Grand! Let the countdown begin. Ladies..can you give me recommendations for a florist? I wrote to Godfreyguy two weeks ago and he has NOT even returned my email! HELP

OKCBRIDE, I will meet you there!!! LOL WE need to hook up and compare prices and all that fun stuff! Yolanda

Evening Ladies, Have a couple questions and I'm really hoping one of y'all has the answers. 1) Did you or any of your guest plan or used calling cards or rented a cell phone while in Jamaica? 2) For the Grand Brides- is there a required dress code for the restaurants? I thought I read somewhere that men are required to wear collared shirts and shoes for dinner. 3) How much time are you allotting for pictures between the ceremony and the reception? 4) What did you do or doing for music at the reception? I'm trying to decide on a DJ or a band, any recs would be appreciated! 5) Did you op for an open bar at your reception? 6) DO you think it's okay to have the guest go to the lobby bar for the cocktail hour? Anyone know how many people the Grand lobby bar can accommodate? Thank you in advance for the assistance!

Okay Im back from being a Bridezilla! Ladies- for those of you that are going with one of the gala selections for your reception meal, were you able to substitute items? Same questions for the ladies who are choosing the buffet. For those who had a bonfire, could you tell me what you did for food? Thanks,

I feel like Iberostar is taking TOTAL advantage of the situation. I for one am so aggravated with the LACK of customer service! It totally blows! Im cool with island time...but weeks for someone to get back to you and then ALL the extras! It's insanse. I think if I could do it all over again, I would have just stayed home and had my wedding.

Does Godfrey have a website?

Hey DeAngelis! Did Godfrey send you any pictures?
