Wow 2013! Very patient you must be! LOL Congratulations!!

Good point about meeting with Natalie! Hmmmm I wonder when they normally schedule that. Though.... the excursion I want to do is 3-4 hrs long and I would be back at the resort by 2-3p, hmmm what to do? what to do? LOL Heck! Unless Natalie schedules it for Thursday, i'm doing it! LOL

Hey snowbelt! Did you see that they DID add pictures for the new packages?! I'm just so excited right now! LOL

Price was a major element in my decision. Look into Grand Palladium Jamaica and compare it to Gran Bahia, just remember this is YOUR day. Even though you want everyone to come and be able to keep the cost down for them, YOU have to be happy on where you have it. Good luck!

Agree! I would go for 2 blue and 1 orange! Overall, they look great!

You did a fantastic job!!! Congrats!

From reading everything, I'm quite impressed and happy to see that you're maintaining a "happy" attitude towards the issue. Venting definitely helps! You can't change her attitude, but you can definitely control yours! Stick with the No Worries and just smile!

I finally placed my order last night! Too many measurements for me, so I went with the pre-set sizes (site said the pre-set are made just like normal clothing). Ordered my fiance a linen suit in tropical beige and all the groomsmen & fathers tropical beige linen pants. The pre-set comes unhemmed, which I'm happy about 'cause it means no matter what, they have to go to a tailor, so if something isn't fitting correctly, then can fix it then! I will update everyone once I receive them!

Welcome Ashley! How many guest are you expecting?

I think she is! Thanks!!

Hahaha! I felt the same way! Luckily the girl who created my invites designed us a logo for free. Yea!

Thanks for the info!

Wow! Hmmm I wonder how many members on the site are just like you... LOL I love it! Have fun and here's hoping for an engagement soon!!

Congrats and Welcome! It's so hard NOT to love BDW!!! Happy Planning!!!

Honestly... I'm all about running into the ocean with my dress, but my mom said "No Way!" LOL She bought it, so I'm listening. BUT since she isn't allowing me to go with my dress, she's actually making me a TTD dress to look just like my wedding gown. I love my mom!!!

I'm with Brandy... how exactly close is it? Is it just same dress, different color? Same color, different style? Or exact, exact? I honestly wouldn't worry about it... she won't be in the BM pictures and I'm sure age difference will prevail. LOL Is that wrong to say? Anyway, my opinion is to let her wear it and not worry about it!

Beautiful! If you don't mind me asking... how much did she charge?

Congrats!!! Fellow Jamaica Bride here!!!! Ya Mon!

Congrats on your engagement! When are you getting married? I've actually been feeling great, my whole goal was NOT to feel overwhelmed. I took on the island motto, No Worries!!! I wouldn't worry about your WC, especially since you're getting married at a Dreams Resort. Just relax and have fun!!!!

Congratulations!!! This site is amazing, eh?! I don't know what I would have done without it!!!!
