  1. Hi pookies Sorry I've been gone. Was crazy week. Had my first wedding dress try on today. Like everything in my life it's not Gonna b that easy. Lol! Def no first dress was the winner thing here . On another note. Heading to Punta Cana tomorrow with my girlfriend . Fi is staying home. :0( So she and I have 4 appts booked on Monday. 10am Barcelo Bavaro Palace Deluxe ( in honor of Missjali) 12. Dreams palm beach 2pm Now Larimar 4 pm. Melia Caribe Phew, I'm beat already Tuesday I hope to meet with the lady from the reception restaurant ( off property) and some photographers. With me luck . If anyone is considering one of these and had questions , ask away...
  2. For those considering emailing your invites, Ty Glosite.com just got put on to it. Also thanks for peer pressure , just bought vistaprint groupon and don't even know what I'm gonna do itch it. Lol Night night ladies. Have a 6 am flight.
  3. Ok never mind the quotes didn't come out! welcome CoColuv Thanks for all the vistaprint and bB& b advice Jali, stop stressing you know Hispanic families and their opinions. Yes you can have ANY party you want and eat your cake too. I too don't like to be told what to do. My FI says "I know if I need you to do something I tell you not to. " lol Brownsugar I had something to tell you but can't remember. Lol Moody your on the ball. Gonna need advice on your passports later on...
  4. Whaddup ladies! Miss me? wTF you guys are killing me I just went over like 200 posts. I'm jot even gonna bother responding but to a few that I HAVE to. I was about to start banging my head on the desk trying to catch up. Lol So...
  5. Maybe ill add that to my visits next week. I'm going to go see, dreams palm beach. Melia and Now Larimar.
  6. Lmao! So here's a funny for ya'll . I've been sitting at the hotel all day waiting to go to work and I realized that A. They put little burlap bags in the room for their coffee. It's the ones with the drawstrings that I want for my favors B. they put little packets in the room with a nail file . Cotton balls , ear cleaners , mouthwash and a little sewing kit etc. I'm like.... Omg I'm gonna ask the cleaning lady to give me more and if I do that on every layover for the next year ill have enough stuff for my OOT bags . Lmao. Hahahahaha I swear I'm gonna write a book on saving a buck. Lol
  7. Ok ladies . Here's a touchy subject I think many of you will have a comment about. It seems we all have a lot in common about the problems of planning a wedding. My FI and I are pretty much paying for our own wedding. I assume our parents will contribute something or another eventually but I don't know a number and don't want to assume. My parents paying for everything is never going to happen nor would I want It to. My dads always complaining about not ever being able to retire and my mom doesn't work. So here's my question. My FI and I don't have a bank account yet together and although we plan on splitting the costs of the wedding I'm the one doing all this preliminary stuff. sTD's , stamps, little trips to Michaels blah blah, and I've just started. Te reality is that as women we are always just picking p little things that they would never think of . So after your 25th trip to the dollar stores and Michaels and charming Charlie's and all that stuff starts adding up. Since my FI isn't really " there yet" how do you keep track of the expenses . I mean obviously you write it down and save receipts , but how do you make the expenses even. You ask him for money every couple of days? Cuz I'm still not the type to do that ( wifey to be or not, I'm too proud. Lol) but I'm working on it. Do you guys get my question. Yes we will split photographers , videographers all that big stuff but how about all these other little things that add up to hundreds of dollars? Especially when he isn't even thinking wedding yet. I hate finance talk but it has to be done. He would never deny me anything but he's kind of weird it doesn't seem to occur to him to be like " how much do I owe u for half the STD?) Please don't think I'm cheap but shit! The reality is he wanted the big wedding when I wanted to run away get hitched and spend a month traveling with the money. Lol
  8. Here's another great reason to have a TA. She just set up my appointments for my site visits next week. It's impossible to reach ppl at the resorts and since she has a relationship with many of them she's setting up my walk thru's. Leaving to Punta Cana next week Sunday the 10th to finally get an idea of what I want to do and to visit the Jellyfish restaurant . Our off property wedding place. Yippee. TA is Patty from Wright travel.
  9. Me neither, must be that stubborn Dominican thing Jali. Lol I also like my last name I've lived with it for 34 yrs. my last name is Pool, and I always have to say " like swimming" . His is Bryan and people are always so perplexed that he has a first name as a last. Lololol Denise Pool-Bryan , Ummmmm
  10. Someone sent us an itinerary via email for a trip we are taking this weekend with some friends. He seriously wrote Mrs. Denise Bryan . I was like aughhhjjnnnnnjhhhhnnnn. Who is that? I'm so not ready to see that written. Aughhhhnnnnnn. Lol Wooooooosaaaaa
  11. Grew up in Jamaica Queens, Went to 217 jhs And Newtown for HS
  12. Holy bejesus 3 hours later and a few phone calls and I'm caught up. Smh. I'm gonna have to quit my job to stay with you folks. Lol
  13. I LOVE mail strippers. OMG they work so hard for their money. I'm always amazed, how much they have to do for a DOLLAR. Push-ups , flips, rain falling from the sky! Dressing up in all types of shit and women are like .... U want my DOLLAR? Like its a 100 dollar bill. Lol Women strippers stand there are rub their boob and get a 20. Hahahah No! I fly for Spirit. Don't judge me if we have scorned you. I've heard it all. I have something for that one.... Why the hell can I NOT find a steel drum band in DR? Lol
  14. Jali: I want to go to NY. Lets swap houses. Hahahaha! I don't think my MOH which is my step sister is a " bachelorette party type" but I knew that when I chose her. I was ok with that because I know she's good and supportive about other things that are more Important. I haven't decided on any other BM , but I'm leaning towards ny niece who will be 17 by then and his niece who will be 18. I'm doing this to kind of keep it in the family so I don't have to pick between my GF's . Most seem disinterested anyway so why bother. That being said both are so young that my bachelorette party might be at chunky cheese. Lol. Some other friends brought it up and if it does happen I'd probably go to Ny. It's not that expensive to fly there and since I'm originally from there I thought it would be good cuz my other GF's from Ny can join in the fun. We shall see. Your resort might have a FB page that's like Riu punta cana Brides, or something.
  15. Omg! I love you... This has been such an annoying process for me. Lol welcome girl! You have no idea! But feel free to use all of us as a testing/ sounding board Me neither!
  16. I'm using Patty at Wright Travel and my wedding isn't until Oct 2014. Yet she already got me rates, so no it's not too early Too funny! If we were closer I'd start doing it just to annoy you. Lol. Maybe in a month or two. Hahaha I'm dead set against wearing white. I loooove the champagne look for me, plus people would expect me to not be traditional. Don't wanna disappoint . Lol We are ok with people staying however long they'd like. Remember you want them to consider it a vacation so you really can't impose on them a time limit if they are spending all that money. Might be better if you change hotels. We plan on actually going to another part of DR for a few days. They have nice resorts in Puerto Plata too, but we also don't care if some friends go with us. As far as I'm concerned ill have plenty of lonely romantic time in the future. Besides all the ALONE time you need is in your room . Lol. Otherwise we don't mind spending time on the vacation with friends and certain family. When you need " alone time" for like a romantic dinner or something we will just tell them. I'm sure they'd understand. One of my best friends has been married for over 30 yrs. Shes like " ohhhh don't honeymoon alone , that's so boring " lololol. Ill take any advice from a couple that's been together that long. Kudos! Improper blah, only people not up on technology will be older family, they'll tell you verbally yay or nay
  17. Omg I had such a long shifty work day yesterday. We had a mechanical after doing 3 flights , and our Ac was down on the plane . fML 145 pax stuffed into a 88 degree tube. It wasn't pretty. I tried and tried to catch up between flights but u ladies talk too much. Lol . STOP TYPING!!! I'm at the hotel on my layover so I have the next few hrs sooooooo ill BRB!
  18. Hello: In order to not overwhelm her could you pay it forward and send to me. Puhhlease. Cherry on top. Lol [email protected]
  19. Chica: Chant the Mantra F$@& em all! Call your Dear sister and ask her the deal. It's your right to know. Give her a deadline or you get your money back. You BM is being selfish as well ( shocking) because I'm sorry a BM dress isn't going to break anyone's bank and she should have had that money allotted already. I know it won't be " picture perfect" but better to have an uneven lineup than a drag. I don't understand ppl. I've made sure all my life to be considerate of people and I try my hardest to not screw ppl, but I've had to drill it in my head ( after a lot of therapy ) that my biggest mistake is expecting ppl to be like me. I feel you... My MOH came over last night to vent and get things off her chest. She's upset because she is purchasing the home of her dreams ALONE, mind you she can afford it plus some. While she vented I sat at the table decorating my STD envelopes and stuffing them. Not once did she offer to help . Nor have we discussed one thing of her role as MOH. She did mention that she has plenty of dresses in her closet that will work for MOH . Lololol. Sigh Woooosaaaaa
  20. Hi ladies I've been MiA. So I.m gonna go back and catch up. Smh. Lol. You guys have had a lot going on. BRB
  21. I'm so cheaply I made my STD on shutterfly and then added a stick on magnet tape strip to the back. Lol. It'll do
  22. You guys are all awesome. :0) I'm up! Heading to Michaels to figure out how I can liven up my STD envelopes. Plus I need to add magnetic tape to the back of the cards so ppl can tick them to fridge. Gotta keep it moving! May I suggest everyone that doesn't have a picture attached to their names perhaps put one up if they're comfortable soon. It's nice to have a face to the new friends/ therapists/ wedding advisors. Lol
  23. Thanks I'm on that page , I had copied those names last week . I do appreciate the price list though. I spoke to Katya as well and they will be in India or a few months during my wedding . So I guess that's out. Have you picked yet? Denise
  24. Matter of fact , I'm about to cut their asses all out and invite all of youuuuuu. Partayyy
