If you pay for one, you should pay for all.

I totally agree, but yuh no it nah easy!!

I wouldn't hear the end of it if we ACTUALLY expected them to pay for themselves. I'm waiting to hear from Chandlyn to see if the $80 is a weekly or daily rate. I'll let u know.

$80 is a daily rate. I'm not sure if they give it to you for $50 on your wedding day, as you have to provide them with the names of the attendees. But she told me it's $50 for the day ending at 2am. She's never quoted me $80 and I actually sent her an email specifically asking that question.

Not only do we have to pay for the Jamaicans living there, but we have to pay hotel stay for those that live in Kingston and can't drive back that night. It's not too many, but still an added cost.

I guess I'm joining the unhappy family and friends club because I have people complaining about the prices of going to Jamaica, too. I really just sent out invitations so no one would complain about not being invited. But I really could care less if people came or not! I just wanted to marry the love of my life on a beautiful island paradise!
