Having lived in the DR for 8 yrs, I can say that Nov is much more comfortable than July........It's different if you're going to be mainly inside in the a/c, but usually in the tropics, you're mostly outside. That's been my experience anyway, so thought I'd share. WOW Cherina......your dress is exquisite! and I absolutely LUV the colour too.........great choice! ........all the best to everyone, and hoping you all have the amazing wedding celebrations you wish for! Enjoy
