I booked our date, sent our agreement, and that was it. I also feel like she has a TON of people to deal with so I really don't feel like bothering her at all since were not getting married until April. I don't really have any special requests or anything so I guess we just plan everything once we are there? Anyone know how that usually works?

That's basically how I have been. Not really bothering her at all. She emailed me recently and I threw some of my plans into my response to her stating that I just wanted to give her a heads up on what we were thinking of doing ie beach reception, pastor york and dj mannia. Also stated that I know that we will plan everything when we see her. No emails since then. I think if we are all planning the destination wedding then we can't expect to have total control over everything as we would expect at home. But that's the point, right?! I will be giving my update report in a couple weeks to let you know if there is anything you should request in advance!!

Yeah, I saw the shoes and decided that green would be my colour! I don't have any bridesmaids (just my brother) and I love green, so why not!! I do love them though!! When I figure it out again and find my camera I can take a picture!

Sap, I LOVE your fans...nice job! Did you order them plain from somewhere and do the details yourself or did they come like that?

I have a question for those of you who did/plan to do a TTD session with the resort photographer: what are the prices?? One of our guests is a wedding photographer so she'll be doing our photographs on our wedding day but I thought about booking a session a couple mornings later with the resort photography since TTD is such a specific photography concept and she's never done that before. Anyone have the package prices from the resort for this? Thanks a bunch!

Ok.... So I just realized this today and I can't believe I didn't think of this when planning and booking.....

 

sorry if this it TMI but I need some opinions....

 

I am going to have my period the week I'm in Dominican...RRRR I can't believe I didn't plan around this....

 

So I was wondering.... there is a medication called Norethisterone that can be taken 3 days before expected menstruation and will delay it for about a week... I want to ask my doctor about it....

 

 

 

Do you think this is a good idea or should I just tough it out??

awe that sucks...kinda personal but are you taking the pill at all?? I am off of mine now but I used to just keep taking them without skipping that one week of "sugar pills" to prevent mine from starting if I was on vacation etc... and it always skipped it for that week until the next time came around
