Hello everyone. I am so sorry I have not replied, but it never gave me notifcations! Ugh. I am so sorry.But I am much more calm now. I went ahead and chose the onsite photographer, Micheal Sordorn. He seems pretty sweet is has been really helpful talking me down off a ledge. I feel like it is going to rain on my day, judging by the reports i am seeing so far. I have to get my mind wrapped around that too. I want to say thank you girls for your encouraging and supportive words. I really appreciate it. Things are finally winding down and I can't beleive I will be Mrs. Dill next Saturday! It's unreal. I am still under a terrible amount of stress, but I can deal! I won't even bore you with the details of my shower and wedding party. Yikes! But overall, it has been so much fun planning with my mom and getting all the last minute details in order. I really want to have something simple and nice. I have a few more things to do like get jewelry and pick a hair style and make up options. But all the favors are either here or on the way, so I feel good about that. I found a really great website for OOT bags for beach weddings. But I waited too late to do those cute little survial bags for the beach. I will just have to manage without them! I am taking the advice of you girls who said drink and not to sweat the small stuff! I am doing just that!!

Hi everyone. I am Elle and I got engaged in April of 2014, I chose a wedding date of Nov 1, 2014 in Ocho Rios at the RUI hotel. I am somewhat regretting the decision based on some of the photos of the hotel I have seen. I made a rushed decision due to my travel agent pressing me to hurry and pick a location, and I had to think about accomodating kids, which would be harder. I feel like i was pressured and now I regret it. A lot of family have their flights, and some have even booked the room so I doubt I can change it now. But I want to know if anyone used this hotel and they were happy with it. Also, my hair and make up girls can't make it so I am concerned that I won't get the look I want to have. And I am freaking about a photographer. I like the guy on the site because he is very helpful with planning, though I should have spoken to my planner by now and I have not! He gave me a lot of good pointers on how the sun sets in Ocho Rios and when the best time to have the wedding would be. But I should probably get other quotes. I say this because most of his photos are on the resort and I am not impressed with that location anymore, now that I have had time to see other locations. That bring me to my last point, I have been so busy at work that I have barely had time to find a gown! I happen to be very tall (6'0) so I had to get a gown that didn't require extra length. That was a TASK. I found one but it is late. I don't have it yet. I am 3 months away from my wedding date. I am so busy at work, with travel and getting promotions that I am afraid I am going to fall apart at the seams! I will stop rambling now. I just needed to vent and get some suggestions or help or advice or some tranquilizers! Geez!!
