Oh yea and this one too!!

Wanted to share my favorite "candid" photo i've had emailed to me from my aunt.. this is Adam and I, pretty stoked after the ceremony!!

my menu at the Italian

Caprese Salad

Penne Napolina

Risotto Chicken with Ricotta

Tiramisu

Everyone LOVED the meal!! it was fantastic!!

Hey, they were glasses.. they will have them in stock right now in the summer plastic glass department.

here's what you'll need:

plastic tumbler glasses from zellers

square mirrors (3 in a pack) from dollarama

led closet lights (takes 3 x AAA batteries) from dollarama

ribbon to wrap around the lights

the purple gems I got from Michaels but you can pick them up anywhere (mine came on a wire stem, which i cut them all off)

fake flower to float inside it - i got my green orchids at dollarama

clear plastic "drawer cushions" you know like the clear rubber things you put inside a cupboard door to stop it from slamming.. this is what I put on top of the light so that the glass would not slip off it. I got a pack of them at dollarama and you could not see them but they worked GREAT! the glass didn't move one bit.

So just put the rocks in the bottom of the glass, fill with water and put the flower inside (note that brightly colored flowers may bleed their color, dollar store ones worked great - expensive michaels ones bled like crazy)

put the light on top of the mirror and the glass on top of the light and volia you're done!!

they were inexpensive and I personally think looked GREAT!!

Also if anyone is doing a "purple" theme.. i have about 30 chair ties and some table runners i'm willing to sell.

I;m not sure where to look at zellers.  I couldn't find them but I will go to another zellers.

 

So when we did the sand ceremony the minister had someting that he read.. I don't remember what he was saying but he had something all ready for it (and he didn't even know we were doing the sand ceremony!!) he was prepped and I guess just carries it with him.

Just got back from Jamaica and I laid my flat (along with 3 other brides) in one of the overhead bins.. No one else was allowed to put their stuff in the bin where our dresses and the mens suits were laying. This was a Transat flight from Halifax - Jamaica and it was awesome! Great service!!

I have about 30 Chair Sashes & I think 10 Table Runners... actual numbers will be confirmed tonight.

Just wanted to know if anyone was interested?

Eggplant Purple Satin purchased from Linens Direct and only used for one day. All Washed and pressed.

I didn't rent the Gazebo and to be honest I'm glad I didn't.. Everyone was so exhausted from such a long day that all the "old folks" went to bed early that night and it was only us young folks left at the end of the night.

We went from dinner to the terrace bar and then that's when all the old folks dropped out. Us youngin's stayed up and went to the disco and danced all night long. It was a blast!!!

I just am glad I didn't pay the $$ for the Gazebo, it would have been a waste for my party.

Also I did not book the entire restaurant.. the sections they give you are more than private enough!

My flowers were "real touch" and I made and brought them down myself... it was SOOO hot the mens real bout's were wilted in hours. So glad I brought fake with me...

My centerpieces are below: I bought the mirrors at the dollar store, plastic glasses at Zellers, fake flowers at dollar store, purple gems at michaels and sat them on top of a closet LED light purchased at dollar store.. Sat the light on top of the mirror, glass on top of light, gems in bottom, water in, flower in and VOILLA!! they looked GREAT!!! and so cheap! I left them there, wasn't bothering to bring them home!

Ok, 1st off.. I looked into the webstream too cause my sister too was pregnant and couldn't come.. it is 100% NOT live.. basically they will video it, and then broadcast it (like youtube) later on.. it is by no means a LIVE FEED.. and the same guy who the hotel would have put you in touch with offered it to me for 150.. knock him down if you really want to do it.. but it's NOT LIVE.

The sand ceremony, yes they set everything up for me. I dropped everything off at the front desk and even drew a diagram how my centerpieces went together.. it was perfect when I arrived.. however they did loose my centerpieces.. which wasn't a major deal cause i prob would have left them anyways.. but they DID loose them...

If you DO happen to choose the hotel photographer you MUST go see them the next day to get your pictures printed... They told me that you must give 3 days notice.. and if you get married within the 3 days god knows how you get your photos.. I argued with the guy (who was VERY ignorant) and he finally put them on a disc for me...

I had caprese salad, penne napeleno (sp), chicken risotto, and tiramisu and it was all delish!!!

pics attached!!!

Hey Ladies well I just got home!!!

Wedding was beautiful, quick and simple!!!

We met with Chandlyn (who is very kind and sweet btw) our meeting took all of 10 minutes to say yes no to whatever I wanted. I had brought my own chair sashes, table runners, centerpieces etc.. so I just dropped everything off at the front desk including my sand ceremony and they set everything up perfectly for me!

Wedding day she picked me up at the front lobby and drove us down the the end of the walkway to the Gazebo.

Wedding ceremony took only 15 minutes and we had NO RAIN!!!

I had the free package and had 26 people with me and didn't have to pay for chair covers but we did have to pay 25 per person for the additional people over 16 that were allowed for dinner.

dinner was at the italian, we did no speeches etc cause we wanted to keep it simple. Everyone enjoyed dinner and it was a great night.

WARNING - Hotel photographer was HORRIBLE!!! soooo glad I brought one down with me. I don't think they use a UV filter on their camera as all the pictures were hazy and it would appear they need more modern equipment.. the stabalizer on their camera was all over the place. I took the 5 pictures included in my package and that was it.. I didn't even want those 5!!

I met Tris down there and she was a sweetheart!!! I will post pics as soon as I have them uploaded. Feel free to ask any questions!!

Erin

Hey Everyone, Spa day today getting my nails and toes done. Crazy early 6am flight tomorrow morning and I'm gonna meet Tris at the hotel. Can't wait to meet her and creep on her big day after mine!!

We had people over last night for a big lobster dinner, YUM!! my FMIL was driving me CRAZY already.. my best friend and MOH said "just breathe.. the resort is so big you don't even have to see her if you don't want".. hahaha not that easy!!

Hope you all have a great week, you can count on me to post tons of pics when I return!

Erin

It's Erin!! See you Tuesday!!

We leave Saturday morning! LAST DAY OF WORK TODAY!
 

 

It was built in 2008 and gets decent reviews. I'm a TA and sell it a lot. It's directly next door to Sandals Royal Caribbean.

I would take the RIU Montego Bay over the Ocho Rios anyday.. I get a lot of complaints about the Riu Ocho Rios..

Come on ladies! I'd LOVE to hear your thoughts on this hotel. Has anyone been there for a wedding or vacation? Have you heard anything about it? I'm getting a little nervous....

 

What about the other Riu hotels? Did you like your stay there? Were they helpful in the wedding planning process?

 

As always...thanks for sharing!

Hey mekanabr,

I was in the same boat.. I live a good 5hr drive away from my family and friends and my FI was away with the military for 9 weeks before now and I did everything for our wedding on my own. To be honest, the best way I think.. Everything was done MY WAY, no one had a say in anything and it kept me busy and organized.

I'm leaving work now for the week and getting in the car for our 5 hour drive down to Halifax which is where we're flying from . I can't wait!

I'm still not packed.. need to run home and throw some stuff in a suitcase~! lol this is the way I always pack lol I'm an old pro by now!

I'm starting to get nervous that i'm going to forget soemthing.. why didn't I make lists!!! I woke up at 5am this morning and woke up my FI to tell him I didn't like the shirt we bought for the wedding.. he was like "oh great, thanks ERIN!!" now I'm gonna run out and see if the one I love is avail in his size.. (it wasn't when we 1st looked) man way to add stress to the mix eh!!

Anyways have a great week ladies, I'll be thinking of you when I'm in Jamaica!!

Tris - don't forget to come introduce yourself. My ceremony is 4:30pm on the 26th (Tuesday)

and tris- you are so soon too!!! Have soooooooooooo much fun!!!!  can't wait to see your pictures and I hope your day is beautiful. 

 

If I forgot to mention any other soon to be brides, please forgive me! but I hope you have the weddings of your dreams!!!!!

 

We leave for Jamaica in 3 months... I'm starting to worry that I need to have stuff done that I haven't thought of! Agh!!  Plus my fiance (who is a grad student) is now 5 hrs north, at the tip of Michigan, for his research season until the wedding so it's just me trying to get everything finished (we live several states away from  family so my stress level is getting even higher knowing that I have so much to get done on my own!) For recent and upcoming brides...any last minute things I should be making sure I have done?  I sent in a copy of our birth certs and passports... I hope that is all we needed and we will bring the originals with us. 

This is true, i'm a TA and when we receive your group rates they are usually only valid from 14-30 days. after that deadline we have to requote all over again and the rates could be higher.. and they also could be lower.

From experience the earlier you book the better. Prices early in the season are always low, because of early booking bonuses and saving like "no fuel surcharge" I always highly recommend people booking early. In fact I've got 5 wedding groups booked for 2012 already and another 3 to go for fall of this year.

I'm actually a TA myself so I do know a lot of people who work in this business and just so happen to know the staff of Bahia. Perks of the career, and i'll be honest and say there are deffo not as many perks of this job than there used to be!!

I bought my sand ceremony today at Michaels and used a 50% off coupon. I also am picking up dark purple sand & light green sand (my colors) it will look perfect!!!

I'm so excited, I leave Sunday!!!! EEEEEKKKK!!!!!!

Oh i'm so excited I leave on Sunday!

We too are confirmed in building 23. I got confirmation of this today. Was it super nice?? I've stayed at the Bahia before and did find the rooms were getting a little tired, so I specifically requested the new section.

I can't wait.. I"'m SOOOO Excited!!

- Wrist bands - the wedding party was allowed to cut them off on the day of the wedding, but you have to keep it and bring it back to the front desk to get a new one.  They told me they won't replace it if you can't provide the old one.....  But my hubbie kept forgetting to bring his up after the wedding and went 3 days without a bracelet and no one stopped him for getting food/drinks at the resort....

 

- I actually forgot my sand ceremony frame at home, and didn't realize until the day before the wedding - I had all the sand etc, but not the frame, so I just had Chandlyn cross that part out of our ceremony script and scratched the idea.  FI and I did it when we got home haha.  So, can't really say, but I planned on carrying it on the plane

 

- Chandlyn will make sure the sashes are on the chairs and the gazebo, and she even had all the sashes taken off and moved to the restaurant for our meal - you don't have to worry about any decorating, they will do it all for you.  I think they used about 6 of mine on the gazebo and then used white ones too

 

- The walk to the gazebo depends on where your building is - we were in building 23 (the newest one - just opened last month) and it was pretty close - the resort is huge, so it may be farther for some, but it still isn't crazy far from anything

 

- we were only charged $200 + tax for the minister

 

- we weren't charged for the white chair covers

TMwedding2011,

What did they do about yours and your wedding party's wristbands?? Did they cut them off you for the wedding day? I don't wanna have horrible tan lines from that wrist band and 100% don't want them in the photos!! hahaa I just thought of this now!!

If you are doing the sand ceremony make sure your fi gets it set up, they left mine at the gazebo in the box, a little embarassing. And our mothers didn't get their flowers so assign that task to one of the guests if you want your parents having corsages or boutinnaires. The wedding cake was just ok, we had tiramisu too so all was good. No one complained about the cake it just wasn't my favorite cake. good luck !

 

 

I leave April 24th for my April 26th wedding at the Bahia Jamaica.

Magenta?
