    We just got back from our wedding and honeymoon, and it was pure perfection! I cannot say enough about Caribbean Club/LUCA, and Juliette at Five Star Events. They seriously went above and beyond and made every single part of our day perfect. I wouldn't change a THING. For those of you who are undecided about a venue - you should really consider Caribbean Club. Since it is made up of 3 bedroom villas, we moved to The Ritz for our honeymoon. After 2 nights there we canceled the remainder of the reservation to move back to Caribbean Club. I have never stayed somewhere so wonderful, and the staff makes it even better. Craig from One World was our DJ - he was awesome. Eugenio Leon played the harp - also awesome. Our rehearsal dinner was at The Wharf, we used Tropicana Tours for transportation to the rehearsal dinner, Nicholas Bell played the steel drum for our welcome happy hour, Stephanie Ford did my hair and makeup (LOVE HER). I really have no complaints whatsoever! Heather Holt was our photographer. If anyone has any questions, please ask away! Here's one picture - we won't have them all back for a while.

    Quote:Originally Posted by MMK0386 Ladies- I have officially crossed over from "stressed" to absolutely 100% "excited!!" Yesterday I finished packing all wedding related items- as far as linens, decorations, favors, oot bag stuff, etc. It took 3 large suitcases! Ahhh! Haha I'm just happy it all packed!! Now I just have to pack our clothes, toiletries... Regular vacation stuff! We fly out Sunday but we are flying out of ATL and we live in CLT so we leave Saturday! I'm sooooo excited! Hearing how well everyone's weddings have gone so far is just making me that much more excited. Thank you ladies for all your amazing help, support, advice, ideas, etc through this process! Yay fun! I am in Grand Cayman working remotely and running all the last minute errands - snacks for OOT bags, delivering them to the various hotels, buying all the booze for my welcome happy hour on Friday, etc. Good stuff! One of my friends told me yesterday via facebook message that she isnt coming to the wedding, which is a bummer and a headache bc it means i have to change all my numbers with the vendors, but not even that is bringing me down! I'm just excited. looking forward to seeing all the pictures from your weddings!

    I'm leaving in 2 days!!!!!!! Let's not talk about how I haven't packed anything but OOT bag stuff. I didn't have enough luggage and had to order some, and it's not arriving until today. How's that for last minute? Haha.

    Ooh so maybe I don't need to tip the coordinator so much. But she has been so amazing I feel like I need to make her feel as loved as she is.

    Quote:Originally Posted by safety75 Question-- what is everyone planning to tip their vendors/staff etc? Blahhh good question! I think I am tipping as follows, but I am totally open to switching it up if I'm off base here: DJ - $50 Planner - $250 + a $25 donation to a charity she volunteers with Photographer - not tipping bc she owns her own business Hair and makeup artist - 20% Bartenders for my welcome happy hour - do you guys think I have to tip them? They have a 2 hour minimum we're paying for and we're only using them for 1 hour so I'm thinking not but I don't want to be cheap. Musicians - they are individuals and are keeping the full fee so I'm thinking no tip? Waitstaff - 20% tip is included in our total bill so nothing to add there Hotel staff - no clue what to do for them but want to do something. Any ideas?

    Quote:Originally Posted by natalieblev That is crazy, but hopefully you have it worked out by now. But it just sucks that YOU had to be the one to worry about it ya know? Funny what planning a wedding makes you see in your friends. I have a friend who I asked to be my bridesmaid, and she couldnt make the trip. Wouldnt tell me or answer her phone for months, then finally about a month ago (even though I had already known from other friends) she TEXTED me that she couldnt make it and now keeps telling all our girlfriends to shut up about my wedding she doesnt want to hear about it. I get that shes just upset she couldnt make it, but  dang could be a little nicer about it ya know. Oh well. Im in the easy breezy stage now and aint nobody going to stress me out anymore! Leaving in two days! Omg how terrible! Man the things people do. But yeah it's just not the time to stress over it! I've been really trying to think big picture and enjoy everything. Sometimes I'm more successful than other. Haha.

    This is a long shot but does anyone know of a way I can get sparklers for our send off in Cayman? I've contacted one local place I found online but haven't heard back. My planner can't get them from the place she used to anymore and it's too late for me to have them shipped.

    Quote:Originally Posted by kkemper So we have settled on most of the details for our January 2014 wedding. We are working with Molly and Carol from Creativent. They have been so attentive and helpful with everything and always return my emails so quickly! We are coming in on a cruise ship and therefore it was important for us to have everything timed out perfectly. We have a contract with creativent for cake, photography, decorations, officiant, transportation, etc. The only thing we do not have set is the location. I really need help trying to figure this out! We are on a tight budget and are looking into having it on a public beach so the actual ceremony would be free. Does anyone have any recommendations? I have heard governors beach or smiths cove possibly. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I'm not much help but I have heard that Smith's Cove is a good spot.

    GUYSSSS look how cute these are! I am so in love with them. One of my friends from high school made them for me because she is super crafty and I ran out of steam. If anyone loves them as much as I do, you can email her at [email protected] She made me these signs too -

    Quote:Originally Posted by MMK0386 As far as I'm concerned she can figure out her own room situation. That's her deal.... You have a wedding to think about! Good luck! It will all work out Ugh, I know...I want to be that way but unfortunately it would mean either I or the other people sharing the condo would be stuck paying for her share, so I kinda have to help sort it out. I think I may have a solution though so it's fine! I just can't believe people (good friends even!) can be so self centered and cause all this unnecessary stress!

    Quote:Originally Posted by kard613 I wouldn't stress the room situation at this point in the game...let her figure it out, she's the one who's plans changed and you already have enough on your plate! That being said... I successfully packed all my decor and welcome bag goodies into 2 extra suitcases. I'm so glad that I decided to ditch the extra votives candles bc they wouldn't have fit anyways! YAY - must feel amazing to have it all packed up!

    Quote:Originally Posted by Billandstina Ahhhhhhhh!! We leave tomorrow and I'm feeling completely overwhelmed! A wedding threw up all over our house...every room filled with piles of things...glitter covering every inch of the kitchen...I never want to see another do-it-yourself project...clothes unpacked...stressing out!!! 12 of my guests are already down there and all I want to do is say F-it and leave everything here, take a swim suit and head down there to relax without dealing with a wedding!! Lolol! Haha you are so close!! Hang in there.

    Quote:Originally Posted by Jessicalynne  No!!! Do not get this upset over wine. It's wine...maybe the smallest thing you need to worry about. My girlfriend gave me good advice when i was panicking over little details and she goes, "Jessica, no one cares about the stupid programs, the center pieces, the decorations. They are flying down there because they want to see you and Rory get married. That's it. People are there to see your love, not the other stupid ass shit you are worrying over."  And it's so true!!!! All the stuff i was worrying about, I can't recall at any of the weddings I've ever been too. And You are having a destination wedding, people can't expect top wine from Napa. don't put so much pressure on yourself. It's going to be beautiful, amazing and perfect. Whether it's boxed wine or fine wine People will understand. Thank you! I know you're right. Just frustrating!!
