Congrats on your engagement! This site has been so helpful for me, and I'm sure you will find the same thing! Happy planning:)

Congrats on your engagement! For us picking the resort was the absolute hardest part. We went back and forth between resorts and ultimately it came down to cost for us. We really wanted to get married at Secrets Maroma, it looks beautiful, but they did not have any available wedding dates the week we wanted to get married. I already told my FI that someday I will go there haha! Good luck with your decision!

Welcome! Happy planning:)

Welcome!! Even though you are not a destination bride you will find useful information on tons of other topics!! Happy Planning:)

Your ring is beautiful!!

I was feeling some anxiety reading this! Wow, sounds like a crazy few weeks! Congrats on quitting smoking!! Recently I was online and checking out prices for our resort and found a rate from the same company we are using that was 200 dollars cheaper. I called my TA and she called them and got our price lowered by 200 per person which is awesome! Every little bit helps, Plus we found out we have enough people to qualify for one free trip which is even better!! I'm really stuck on what to do for shoes as well. Im not a heels person so I want some fancierish flip flops that dont look like cheap flip flops. I have small feet so its been a real challenge to find some in the right size. When do you get your dress? Mine wasn't supposed to arrive until August but It came in and I picked it up just the other weekend!! I'm also FINALLY done school for the summer!! So excited, yet I have been working every day so far! Oh well, money is always welcomed! Glad to hear everyones planning is coming along!

Sounds like your planning is coming along great! Wow, 63 people, thats awesome. I know the extra cost at an all inclusive resort seems weird and people dont understand, but its because usually they have to have extra staff on the deal with the big group so you can get the proper service you need and expect!

Congrats on finding your dress!!

Aww, I arrive the day you leave!

Honestly, I never really communicated much with Beverly but she was soo soo slow in getting back to emails. I find Chandlyn is way quicker and gives more precise answers. I am getting my hair and makeup done at the spa. Are you? I haven't booked much yet, just a photographer. What about you?

What is your email, I can email you the 2012 wedding packages.

Welcome to this site! I am getting married the day after you, on January 13, 2012. We wanted to 12th but they told us they already had three weddings that day!!

Just found this thread! My FI and I are getting married January 13, 2012 at the Gran Bahia Principe in Jamaica! Can't believe its less then 7 months to go!

It is so unique and different! Love it!

Also, there is a thread started for January 2012 brides if you are interested http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/thread/66794/january-2012-brides
