big3n09 First Congrats on your nuptials!!! I pray that your wedding day was all that you could have dreamed of and more. Thanks so much for your kind and reassuring words! FI had a heart to heart with her and her mom. It was right on time and shortly after my post. They actually made it easier for him to put things in order by their actions, which pissed him off big time. Later that day, when they came to the house, FI started right in. To be respectful to them both, I went upstairs but really didn't need to since FI was so livid that you could hear him upstairs as well. Things have mellowed out since. BTW she never received my Bridesmaid card, but happily accepted ;-)

Brenners, we have chosen Moon Palace for our wedding week, followed by LeBlanc for our Honeymoon.

YAY, Another great weekend. Friday we went to our Travel agent and booked our rooms and also our honeymoon. We have 2 booked rooms to date including ours (Save the Dates go out Wednesday). Also, Our Engagement Photo session was so amazing. We had so much fun with our Photog who is also my Sorority Sister. Sneak Peak in a few days. Whew.... taking steps and strides.... YAY ;-)

Ladies, Thank you so very much for the compliments and suggestions. This has been a work in progress with a few more things to add and/or change. Thanks again.

YAY...meeting with our TA tomorrow to finalize everything After our Spa day today, followed by shopping for our outfits, we are ready for our engagement shoot on Saturday. And yet another package came in from Vista Print. After my brochures (which I won't do for a while), I will be all done with the Vista Print addiction. And last but not least, we will mail off our STD's on the 13th so that everyone will get them by the 21st.

That's awesome. I'm glad things settled so that you can resume searching.

Brenners will you have the opportunity to do a site visit?

Brides, It is safe to say that we all have varying wants and needs for each of our special day. What may seem "cookie-cutter" to some, may mean that these resort know what they are doing and therefore brides choose to go that route. Nonetheless, each resort as each bride have their wants and needs. May we each find what will work for us. Happy Planning

Congrats Sherma25 and welcome.There are many forums on here for 2012 Brides. Do a search for your resort and join that one as well. I might also add that those from 2011 at the Majestic may have pictures or will have so don't forget to join that one as well. Happy Planning

cher, Don't get upset, the resort credit isn't mentioned in anyone's contract, well let me step back and say that it isn't mentioned in mine either. The resort credit is entitled to everyone that stays there regardless if its a wedding. However; if you are speaking of the perks that you get based on how many room nights you book, that too will be separate (if you are using a TA), I'm not to sure how it will work for those that will not use a TA. Your Miami coordinator is the one listed in your contract. Your MP coordinator will not be assigned until 3 months before your wedding date. Hope this helps.

Ladies, I have changed the "Theme" if you wouldn't mind going back to the site to tell me what you think regarding the new versus old look. Thanks

Congrats and Welcome sunshine77 Happy Planning

Thanks Ladies, babestaa, I thought so as well but, I don't think I have control over that piece. I will look again and if not will contact support to see if anything can be done about it. Thanks for the feedback.

Hello Fellow Brides and Grooms, FI and I are preparing to send out our STDs on the 13th of April. Why the 13th, well we finalize things with our TA on the 7th of April, and we have our engagement photo shoot on the 9th of April. I will change out some photos and add a direct link for booking rooms at that time. However; if you wouldn't mind looking at the website for what it is now, I would greatly appreciate it. Any feedback positive or negative would be appreciated as I want to make sure that everything is as "perfect" as possible before sending out the STDs. Website: www.TheFutureWrights.com Answer to question: NXNW309 Thanks so much for your help. Chanel & Derick

Congrats Sunshine2680 and Happy Planning

Shelby you two were picture perfect! I love your parasols and have toyed with that idea myself. Fab colors

Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs. Your pictures are beautiful!

We did the opposite even though his family is much larger than mine. But we both have massive amount of friends etc. We are not having an AHR because we are buying a home. In addition, we would spend more for the AHR than the wedding because of the people that we know. For us it would be have been a big debt which is what facilitated a destination wedding ;-) But so far everyone says "oh we are going to make a vacation out of it" or "this will be our vacation for the year" we will see as the STDs go out in 2 weeks.

Hey Ladies, It's been a while since I posted here which is a good thing on the StepMom-Dad front right. Well as FI and I are in full swing of things, we have 1 child excited (my son cause he will finally have a dad) and the other child (his daughter who will be 19) pulling back. In dating her dad, everything was fine. In initially speaking of marriage, everything was great. But now that we are in full swing of things, she has pulled back a great deal. Today topped it off for me as I just sent out my "will you be my bridesmaids cards" which was personalized for everyone. Well all 4 from Maid of Honor to bridesmaid called...crying and yelling how unique and beautiful they were and I have yet to here from her (text, email, FB) nothing. Well although her mom is nice and we have had nothing but kind words, I think she is part of the problem. The realization that hey, wow this is for real for the both of them is finally coming to reality and on that side may not be all glitz and glam anymore. In addition, I have had FI stand up for himself and the future US around $$$, and what they call him for (which I know is a HUGE, I'm mean MAJOR part of this as well.) See he use to go out of his way (and at times still do) for them. Either the mom calls and say "she needs this, when can you get it" and then the daughter calls and say "dad I need etc.." Then I'm saying who the hell is either coming to get it, or why can't your mom get it. I mean I told FI that shit, you might as well say that she is a boarder in a home that you own. What does the mom do...besides get your daughters nails and hair done. Yes I give her credit in that she is in college and looking for a job which is equally hard in this economy. But for a child that doesn't do much, why the hell does she need $100 a week? Really, I know what it is like to go to college (away from home) and survive. However; $100 and you stay at home is freaking retarded. I told FI that he really needs to come up with a plan that is good for US and in our home. Because $400 a month for a college student who lives at home is toooooooooo did I emphasize toooo much. And I'm not doing it!! Wow talk about venting... Feedback ladies...please. Oh and I did think about taking my future daughter out, to which she will gladly go (anything free will spark her interest). But right now I'm livid. I know that once I calm down I will think of something creative to do with her.. but I'm just not feeling it right now.

Welcome Samantha88k and Congrats This site is awesome!! We invited 150 of our closet family and friends. We hope to get at least 50 people. 75 would be amazing ;-)
