Mairelys- we're in the same boat! lol. I got engaged last year December, but we were also having a baby so I decided to postpone any planning until after then. My FI and I wanted to go somewhere we've never been so we decided DR due to costs and the time of year we wanted to have the wedding. Luckily for us a few of our friends have visited some of the resorts we're considering and gave us great feedback... I was feeling overwhelmed on location... now its on the resorts in DR. I think visiting a TA would be a great idea... i think I'm going to write a want/needs/con list to try to narrow down the resorts. Good Luck!
