We are exactly 2 months apart LOL

Oh, I would be happy to, my wedding date is August 22nd, 2014 at Moon Palace. Thank you! And I saw the other thread but was thinking a new one with a different name :-), but if you are ok with the method you are using, its all cool!

the WC you are working now is not going to be your onsite coordinator, it will switch right over when you are about to go to the resort, I really don't think the one you have one does anything other than filtering the info to the real coordinator you are going to have, any one can do that.

Why don't you guys start a new thread with this info instead? seems less mixed up and less confusing!

Happy birthday!!! Its good to have crazy fiances that will splurge on us, not on themselves. LOL Enjoy! Your wedding is so close, I would be a nervous wreck when so close to my wedding. Seems like you have a bunch attending, so much fun.

I understand you can book decorations but no location, my question would be, how can you get decorations or someone to decorate when you don't know what you would be decorating. I think location is assigned once you get within your time and then is only confirmed ONCE you are at the resort.

Summer is almost gone and I have been in my pool, my backyard, once, bough a fabulous new grill that have been used twice... So bad but I have been so busy, it sucks!

Good and happy Monday everyone. Have a great week. 20 post to go

OMG... People have no shame!

Check out Vanessa's template, it's adorable, she is here on BDW, but don't remember her user name now, let me know if you would like to have her contact info.

OMG, this tread is so long and good that it would take me a week to get catch up, I posted in here when there were like 6 pages of post, now I come back to see this, I don't even know where to start.

You are going to have so much fun, all inclusive resorts are awesome, me and my FH take two vacations a year and it feels so good not to have to reach in your pockets for cash every time I have a drink (20 or so times a day, LOL)

OMG, I am at 125, I promised myself I was going to get to 150 by the end of the week. Not happening! Happy Friday everyone!

The airplane belly (where luggage goes) is rather cold because of the low pressure outside the plane, etc. I wouldn't be worried about that. Just make sure to pack them well in case anything happens your other stuff won't get damaged.

My parents separated very early and he moved to live in the states, I stayed behind with my mom until he brought me here at age 16, I didn't live with him though, me and my sister moved out since we hated living with him and his wife, shortly after I went back to live with my mom in the DR again. The person that raised me, spend Christmas, my fist tooth, my first everything was my mom, she deserves the first dance more than anything in the world, she also deserves to walk me down the aisle. My sister insisted that I have to let grudge go and make my father walk me down the aisle and have my first dance, I said absolutely NO! He does not deserve to give me away. After careful consideration, I know my mother doesn't dance, she would do it for me but she would be embarrassed to dead to stand there with all eyes on her, so a fair decision was to have my mom walk me down the aisle and then have a first dance with my dad, I wish my mother would dance though, I really don't even think he deserves the honor.

IMO, yes, asking people you are not inviting to your wedding to attend your shower, my sound like you want the best part of both worlds, a inexpensive wedding and all the gifts you would have gotten if you would have getting married at home. We have to remember that wedding presents are in fact something that we get from our guest to help us cover or recover from the wedding expenses. I would definitely be upset of being invited to a shower (for a gift) and not being important enough to get invited to your wedding. I had a BIG engagement party, and I will invite everyone that attended the party, I know of course that not everyone is going to come, maybe a third or less... I will also pass on having a bridal shower since the meaning of a bridal shower or "send off the happy couple" is to give presents to the couple. I also decided on not to have a registry, many people say I should still have it but I really feel that having a register or honey moon wish registry is asking people that are attending my wedding to spend money on a present, or, why would I ask people to help me have a honey moon after they have spend so much money attending my wedding, not even if they are coming to at AHR. I feel the HM should be the couple's expense's, not my family and/or guest.

I am so doing a TTD, my FH was not sure at first and told me he did not love the pictures I showed him, he saw just some boudoir TTD, but when I showed him the other ones, with the couple kissing WITH THE DRESS ON, he agreed, I am not much into the boudoir thing, so I am so happy! I wouldn't do a beach TTD though, I am going with a cenote.

This is exactly the way I feel, I have so many people that have say they will be there, but I know they will not because people have priorities, the fact that so many people said they will be there when we played with the idea, was what in part made us decide on a DW. But now after reading here I know that is not going to happen, I was thinking 60ppl, now I have come into terms that it might be a lot less than that. I know I am still going to get sad that some people are not going to go, but whoever cares will be there, I am sure.

Ladies, I had to come back here and say, I got a call from the wedding director at Palace Resorts, Lucy, she came in this thread and saw my comment below, she apologized that Renee wasn't specific about the details and explained to me all about the outside vendors. I feel much better that she called me but I also was not intending on getting anyone in trouble, the last thing on my mind is that they will come on here and see my post. LOL Anyway, I always knew I was right about choosing Palace for my wedding but now that I see the level of attention they have (coming and read about us) I feel like I really made the right decision.

The Thrift shops by me are a jewel, I got a vintage, maybe 60+ years old dining table with chairs for $25, very good wood, I couldn't move the table by myself. :-) By the time I get married my engagement is going to be exactly that, 18m, I cant wait to be 90 days away from it, or maybe not? I am scared of all the last minute planning. LOL

Well, keep counting because your date will be here in the blink of an eye. When I started here in March I thought I had an eternity, now we are just short of a year from our date. Ask around for an old suitcase, I am sure someone will have one that they don't need.

When and when are you?

I am getting married next year, August 22 at Moon Palace. My save the date go out this weekend. I can't wait to start getting annoyed with people not booking. HAHA

Wow, a year! Lets just chat here, how many more posts you need?

Imagine if we could just buy potted orchids and bring over for decoration? at $10 a piece that would be so cheap, sniff!
