Aug4Bride - fb I would guess stands for Facebook, and there are a lot of beach pictures in this thread scattered

Peach- I had read that from other posts but I was kind of hoping they were past that whole taking so long to take your money from you . But it will be fine. Amber- We are getting married Sept. 27th at 4pm. And then having our reception October 29th. Maybe a little overboard on the reception but I wanted everyone to have a good time since we didn't invite a whole lot for the wedding. I really like the idea of having your reception in your new house, I think that would be cool. it would be a great way to introduce everyone to yall's new life. I definently agree with how difficult it is to get in contact with them over there but I do understand how busy it must be for them. Yessica, is our WC. You know I was thinking about bringing center pieces since so many people on here had but I just don't want to pack more stuff. I think we will settle for what they have at Dreams but just bring our own chair saches. I am still trying to decide if we should get a recording of the ceremony. I just purchased our Sand jar any idea the best place to get sand, we need purple and orange. http://www.michaels.com/Lillian-Rose%E2%84%A2-Heart-Unity-Sand-Vase/wd0650,default,pd.html?cgid=products&start=2 Also I am loving the idea of buying the portable beer pong float, any ideas for the best place to purchase one as well as custom made ping pong balls? The only thing is we only need like 50 ping pong balls. We found this one that we liked. http://www.amazon.com/Air-Pong-Table-Portable-Inflatable/dp/B001H189QI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1310489102&sr=8-1

Amber - All our planning is going great since we are having a reception in my home town all of that is already planned and set. It's just the actual wedding that we are trying to make sure everything is set and ready to go. The bad thing is we have a confirmation number and everything but Dreams has not taken the money yet for the deposit, which is weird. So it is aggervating when we can't get a hold of anyone at the resort. But we are super excited and ready for a vacation. I also need to stop buying stuff for the goodie bags, I keep buying and finding cute stuff How is your planning going? Any walls you have run into?

Amber 5678- Thanx so much yes I hate to admit I havent done a whole lot of work this past week because I was reading all of the posts, very interesting and such a great idea. Thanx for your answers

So first off THANK YOU so much!!!! I stumbled upon this website and you guys have been so helpful. This is my first time posting I started reading all of these post at the beginning of the week and figured it was time for me to post. My fiancé and I are getting married September 27 at 4pm at Dreams and we are super excited. Neither of us wanted a huge wedding so we have about 15 people total including me and my fiancé, and we figured getting married on the beach was perfect for us. We are trying to keep our budget down since we are having a huge reception for everyone when we get home. But I have been worried I know it is a busy season but I emailed my WC over a month and a half ago and nothing. We finally had to get out travel agent involved as she was getting responses back and we weren’t. So now here comes the questions, I hope you guys don’t mind… 1- We have selected the Dreams of Love Package and we were curious about the reception dinner. I have heard different things about having to pay for a bartender, is this true? If so, can we not just get our own drinks from the bar since it is all inclusive? 2- Is the Bordeaux Terrace the best place for our reception, small and intimate with a great view, and dancing allowed? I have not booked this spot yet as I have not been in contact with my WC. 3- We were thinking about bringing our IPod and dock station, will that be enough sound or should we rent speakers as well? 4- Is there only one spot for the beach ceremony? 5- To pay off the wedding when we get there, I believe I read you can use a credit card? 6- Shuttle service, I was told it was included by our travel agent. We have everyone coming in on Saturday, within a few hours I believe so I was wondering how it would work. 7- My aunt is vegan do they accommodate for that as well during the reception dinner? PS- I have enjoyed all the pictures, everyone is gorgeous. I can’t wait to get in my dress. If anyone has pictures of the beach wedding and Bordeaux Terrace I would love to see them. Thanx again everyone.

So this is my first post and I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!! I came across this site at the beginning of the week and had to read everything. I have learned so much and such great ideas. I must say I have been getting worried because I am getting married Sep. 27 at Dreams, and I know they are super busy but I emailed them over a month and a half ago and no response. I have even had to get my travel agency involved because she was getting answers faster then I was. So here come the questions I hope you guys don't mind. 1- We have choosen the Dreams of Love Package. And we had heard that you have to pay for extra for the bartender during the reception is this true? If so can we just get our own drinks, since it is all inclusive? 2- Is it worth it to upgrade to preferred club when we get there? 3- Is Bordeaux Terrace the best place to go for a small group with a great view, and can you dance there? 4- How does the shuttle service work, I was told it was included with our trip and pretty much everyone is coming in on Saturday (we only have about 16 total people coming, including me and my fiance) 5- My aunt is vegan, does anyone know if they can accommodate a vegan meal? 6- We are having a beach wedding and were planning on going barefoot, but do they put a runner or anything down for you to walk on? PS- I love all of the pictures I have seen you guys look beautiful, and you all have put me at ease in our choice to have our wedding at Dreams.
