Congratulations! I'm getting married on the same day! I'm not using a travel agent but I think you should put up a book by date as a suggestion. I don't think it's pressuring them to suggest a date that they should keep in mind; it's helpful for them as well as for you - peace of mind and assurance. Maybe you can put something like "It is recommended that you book by October 1st, 2011". And you can explain that 11/11/11 is a popular date (as I have found out) and so you really would like them to be booked ahead of time so that they don't miss out on rooms in the hotel being sold out. I will probably ask that people make sure they make their lodging reservations by the end of September at the latest. I guess I'm a bit anal like that.
Nope. Would you ever do a group wedding? (A group wedding = a wedding where there's more than one bride getting married at the same time, same place, by the same officiant)
My fiance loves the Beatles too so we'll end up playing quite a few of their songs throughout our wedding. Our first dance song most likely will be "Do You Want to Know A Secret"; we had been thinking about a slower song called "Por Ti" by La Tribu del Sol but I think I want our first dance to be a bit more fun rather than slow.
Both are beautiful dresses but I like the first one better on you! BUT, ultimately, your choice should be what makes YOU feel most beautiful, so get the dress that makes you most happy!

Congratulations Crystal! I totally understand because I'm getting married outside a resort as well. But you've given yourself plenty of time to plan, which is good!! I started with a lot of researching - on the internet and looking through this forum. There's a lot of information here and a lot of reviews for resorts as well as individual vendors. Send me a PM if you have specific questions. Good luck and happy planning!
