Hi Sheesh, I prefer Wildthing. I took our guests on the Half Moon Bay cruise, which included snorkeling, open bar and lunch at Half Moon beach. Our guests loved it!

Of course, the Etsy vendor is Shea Nichole Designs. Here's the link. http://www.etsy.com/shop/SheaNicholeDesigns?ref=top_trail

I’m selling my Alfred Angelo wedding dress for $200 plus shipping. This is a strapless, white chiffon dress with train and corset back. I had the dress length hemmed 1 inch at the front. The street size is 2 to 4. I’m 5 feet, 4 inches and wore 2 inch heel flip flops. My bust size is 36B and waist is 28 - 29 inches. Since this is a corset back, the dress is adjustable. I also purchased a silver beaded sash from Etsy.com for $150. I had the sash attached to the dress, but it can be removed. I’m including the sash for free. I included photos of me in the dress with and without the sash. I wore the dress for my wedding day and trash-the-dress session. The dress is in clean, very good condition -- but has a light brown stain along the inside of the bottom hem (from walking around the hotel grounds and beach) but is not visible at all from the outside of the dress.

Hi, I think that is really quite expensive. I originally wanted sugar starfish too, but found very similar large pacific ocean starfish at Bamboo and Thatch. I got a dozen 8-10" starfish for about $18. The customer service and delivery were excellent. http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/index.php?cPath=664_737

I recently returned from Jamaica, and had the chance to see the Silver Birds Steel Ochestra perform live twice at two different resorts. They are seriously talented young group. They not only play steel drums, but also dance. I would really recommend them if you can afford a band.

I just recently came back from Negril. Riu Negril and Riu Tropical Palace are not next door to each other...it's about 15 -20 minute walk along the beach between both hotels. Riu Negril's beach is awful and man-made and the water there is not clear -- not what you'd expect from a Negril beach resort. If beach and water are important, Riu Tropical Palace's beach and water are much better.

If you're set on April, then you should consider having your wedding after mid-April -- which is the start of the off-season so hotel prices will be lower. High/peak travel season is December through about mid-April.

You can check with the Jamaica Registrar General's Department. http://apps.rgd.gov.jm/web/Marriage/lay_marriageApplication.cfm

Very cute. I sent you a PM. Thanks!

Hi Candace, A recent destination bride, Rashida, created our wedding logo. I don't think she's active on this forum anymore, but her profile name is FutureMrsTGun. Here is her planning thread, which has so many amazing DIY projects. She has a store on Etsy.com called "Destination I Do". Below are links. I highly recommend her if you need her to create a wedding logo. I emailed you our wedding logo...don't want to post here as I don't my fiance to find me here :-) http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/74113/mrstguns-planning-updates-pic-heavy-final-planning-post-page-65-post-642 http://www.etsy.com/people/DestinationIDo?ref=pr_profile

Our wedding budget is about $20,000, which includes our flights, hotel, and honeymoon/vacation for two weeks. We're also paying for a private catamaran cruise as our gift to our guests (rather than doing OOT bags). We have about 50+ guests.

Hi, I'm using natural sanddollars for placecards and found an easy way to harden them so they're not so fragile. You can mix equal parts white glue (like Elmers) and water, and then brush both sides and edges of the sanddollars. I found that the sponge brushes work better. The mix dries very quickly. The sanddollars won't be unbreakable, but definitely helps and doesn't change the natural look of the sanddollars. Hope this is helpful
