Thanks hun. Now to give u ur pep talk. Dont be deflated. Stay elated. This is your day. Fuck em fuck em fuck. Lol. I have gone through same thing. My mom us like. Why can't u just do it here in Nc ( mind you u live in atlanta) my friends and some family want to know why I'm inconviencing them as if my weddi g has a freaking bearing on their happiness.. most are clueless that it us less expensive to get married destination than it is in "your country" haters will hate. Not all that smile are truly well wishers. Those that are gonna come to support will come if its across the damn stree or if its in bumbfuck Egypt. You have your day whenever it is you want. And if it'd Halloween and you wanna give out masks and trick or treat candy or if its 4th if july and you wanna givd firecrackers for them to shovd up tgeir asses. So be it. Enjoy YOUR DAY. WITH OR WITHOUT. LOL

haven't forgoten about my sisters up here on  bdw, i've not been here all day, i had a death in my family last night so just been tryna be respectful of that, but trust it's been hard to not be up here all day.

Hey ladies I'm here for some " don't give a shit what anyone thinks and says pep talk". Lol I'm really kinda down tonight. We just came back from my FI sisters house where some of his family were gathered . For shits and giggles I informally handed his sister and dad the STD I just got done. And so it begins...this is what I got Odd look from his sister and 17 yr old niece . " Halloween ? Your wedding is gonna be on Halloween ? Really? " arched eye brows! From niece " great guess I can't come ill just have started college" From sister and niece - it's a Friday? From his father- why can't you just do it in Miami ? If its the money ill give you money. Are you inviting so and so and so and so and sound so? " you know we are. Tight family why would you do it in YOUR country? From his father - well at least we can book your uncles time share and we can all stay there and just go to your wedding. I was getting so pissed and its only the first STD Ohhhh and I said to his sister. Please it's not like anyone actually considers Halloween a pagan holiday. To which she raised her hand as in to say " I do" Now add to that None of my so called best friends have even called me to ask about the wedding since I told them I was engaged over a month ago. My fathers " how much is this shindig gonna cost comment" My moms " your not wearing white re you?" Comment And the fact that I'd rather elope As it is , I feel totally deflated. This is supposed to be a happy time in my life and instead I just wanna cry. Mainly because I always see in the movies and on tv all these people with tons of support. Let me clarify that everyone Is happy for us and want us to get married. I just feel super lonely in the process.

These are nice Denise!!!!

These are great

they are hot!!! yhey came really fast!!

Help , how do I upload pic onto here from my iPad ?

Thank you!  K! I'm using Patty @ wright travel. She's been great so far and I like that she focuses on DR. I just really don't want ppl calling me about Resort questions . I think it also depends on your Party size. Mine is about 80 ppl. She is going to negotiate my incentives as a group, such as free rooms and upgrades. And... I'm going on A site inspection next month to see some hotels and she's going to set up my appointments. Since hey never seem to answer emails. So I'd say useful. Better question is... Why not? It doesn't cost you anything! Tell her I sent you. :0) Denise [email protected]

Ladies, I just hot home. Über tired . I can't even catch up. Plus fed ex left my STD with my 90 old neighbor so I gotta wait till the a. M to see them . :0( night night chicas. See u mañana

Hahaha Thank you!  Any other RIU Palace Punta Cana brides out there?!?  Would love to hear from you!  I already have some questions lol.  Are you utilizing a travel agent?  I am unsure IF I would even need one.  What are the pros and cons?  Can my guests not receive a group discount directly from the resort anyways?

Hi all!!  I am getting married on August 2, 2014 at the RIU Palace Punta Cana!! 

Kayte is out of your budget.  Photophil charges about $2100 for a full 12 hours. Perhaps you can work with him to cut it down, so you can afford a videographer, too. Try Caribbean Emotions or HDC - they're both more affordable. I can fwd you their info if you PM me your email.

Oases ypu

My fiance and I are holding a cocktail event at Huracan, the night before the wedding. The owners of Huracan are from Bologna, Italy (which is where my fiance and I met , so we took that as a sign and are very excited about the event. The team there is super nice, has great food, and beautiful design aesthetic, so I doubt you would be disappointed. Fun fact: The owner, Giacomo Zatti, was actually a super famous basketball player in Italy in the 80s and 90s. We confirmed the date with them in the first week of March (for may 2014) and have tried to get something in writing or pay a deposit, but we haven't gotten the information to do so yet. We've emailed with the staff and they have assured us that they have us on the books, but its a bit concerning that nothing is officially in writing. Someone on here said they are slower to respond than Mayte, and based on my experience, I would say that is probably about right. They do more than just weddings however, so they are also pretty busy with a bunch of different events. Their facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/groups/343811809041967/  (which is not as useful as Jellyfish Restaurant or bride page, but it gives you an idea of what is going on).  Some comments: - This venue is really cool looking and absolutely beautiful, but the indoor portion is much MUCH smaller than the jellyfish. If you have a seated dinner there (and want to keep everyone indoors) I don't think you could fit more than 50 people (and that is pushing it). If you are using the outdoor space too, you can fit alot more people. - Another thing to note is that there is a pirate cruise excursion thing in Punta Cana which uses a huge touristy pirate ship. The dock for this pirate ship is in front of the Huracan cafe. (It's supposed to be next to the cafe, but its big and very hard to miss when you look out from the restaurant) This can be fun and cool if it fits into your theme, but if you don't want to see the pirate ship on your wedding day, I don't know how you would be able to manage that unless you contracted the ship to sail out for the duration of your party. - One other cool thing is that there is a cigar shop next to the restaurant that stays open during events, so that can be a perk for guests. Hope that is helpful for people. Missed you while you were down here. Didn't hear back from you but I'm sure you were super busy with family.

I forgot to add my will you be my bridemaid luggage box I gave these out at my bridemaid brunch last week. It took me forever to paint, glue the satin and find random things to add to the box lol

I think I broke my neck just looking at them HAHA

I I thought the same thing...maybe everyone else got a life, it is Friday night. I've got to get up at 7 so no fun for me

I have not been on in hours. Is it possible that there have been no posts? soMething isn't Right . aughhhhhh

Hi lovies Life is so hard ! I'm sitting on the beach on Amelia Island with a rum and coke laughing at all my new crazy friends. Lol I'm thinking maybe I should start a new business. Since I fly for free I should have brides pay my taxes and a small fee and ill hand deliver all their stuff. Hahahah ah Help pay for my wedding. I'm horrible as I sit on All the forums I'm like " how can I make a business out of this?"

i'm sure i won't i think i'm moving fairly well. but now yall got be thinking i need to get a hookah as soon as i touch down in montego bay. lmao

I wouldn't even send it in luggage. I'd pack a nice sized box. Tape it well and check it. Don't forget you can't carry on all those liquids. Flight attendant giving you the no, no, no finger. Lol Jali. I don't know maybe you can look into shipping. I know people say its a nightmare but I dunno when we ship huge boxes to Dr with clothes and crap for our family we send a huge barrel with those " shipping companies" it's like 100 bucks. That's not too bad

I am also considering jumping the broom.
