Congrats on being a married woman!!!! I remember watching your wedding from the balcony. It was absolutely beautiful!! It looked like soo much fun to dance on the beach.

So fun! Your dress was beautiful and I love the first dance on the beach! Did you have to ask for the bonfire... or do they have them regularly?

Answers to Questions:

 

- Bridesmaid dresses were "After Six" - I think you get them almost anywhere. We had to do some serious alterations as there was a huge bright bow on the front and they were way too long.

-Reception was right on the beach. There is alot of steps to go down, but to each side of the beach is a ramp comming down from pool area. Older people could come down ramp, then walk a little ways down the beach.

-2 pm ceremony - Pictures were done around 3-3:30, we had drinks by the poolside bar, then went to our room for a while, it was a little bit of a wait, but my son needed a nap! There is lots to do around the resort- don't worry.

-I skipped the runner, because my flowergirl had white petals to throw, it would look great with or without! save the $40!

-The bonfire was a surprise. They have them on beach party nights. I would ask for one just in case - it was totally awesome.

-My bouquet was $149 (#88 in catalogue), BM's were $60. If your getting wrist corsages for mothers / grandmothers, ask for elastics. They came with ribbons and fell off really early! I was happy with flowers, since I wasn't happy about ordering form catalogue, but they were beautiful. I just chose my bouquet and all the others were matched to that. I thought i would be able to go to the flower shop and pick them out, but found out 1 week prior, that orders must be placed two weeks before wedding - just a heads up - Chandlyn didn't mention this earlier.

I have booked my dinner at Mammee Bay and my recption at Seagrape. We were planning to use my i-pod for music, but I wonder if I should spring for the dj. Hmm....
