Thank you!

I agree totally! As this is my second marriage, so I wanted something more low-key & inexpensive. Everyone suggested a DW, but I was shocked to find that I am being nickel & dimed for everything. I have 50 guests that are bringing at least $50,000 into their resort for that week & it is an all-inclusive resort, so why do I have to pay $70/pp to sit in a private area to eat for one meal? & decor! Don't even start with that... its outrageous! I am so glad I'm not looking for an extravagant affair... it would be a fortune to pay for! I am def warning future brides about realistic costs of dw wedding. I still dont regret my choice but I have given up on alot of things I dreamed of having at my wedding just to stay on budget.

Hi everyone! I'm getting married March 12, 2014 at Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Happy Happy Happy! lol

Has anyone done a welcome magazine for their oot bags? Mine is designed to look like a bridal magazine (complete with upc code & all lol). It has info and pics about the bridal party, family and friends, personalized crossword, word seek, itineraries, resort info etc. After reviewing it, it seems so far so good, but now I'm second guessing myself on whether it would be enjoyed by the guests as much as i think... :| Any ideas, advice??? Thanks

MC-Colonial....I found the same thing in waiting for judge schedule to open. I tried for a civil ceremony (for March 2014) & waited for a judge reply (via WC) since Jan. We have since decided to marry at home (Canada) secretly then a symbolic one in MC. We immediately got booked and we were off & running. It took a bit of convincing the FI but the symbolic ceremony can mimic a civil one so closely that nobody will know & it will still feel. The marriage at home is just a formality, sign papers & done. No kiss or rings. Best decision thus far... besides the man, of course! lol
