Hi Girls!!!! We're back!!!!  I'm sorry that it took me so long to check in, but after we returned from our Honeymoon...long story short we attended two funerals, a wake, a college graduation, and I had a birthday.  Needless to say, we came back home and got slapped in the face by reality FAST.

 

I am almost done with my review and I am amazed by how long it is!  It made me realize that I actually thought more about our AS experience than I initially thought. :-)  I have to brag a little and tell you all that not only did we have a wonderful time, but bryteeyedbride is the BEST bridal twin a gal could ever ask for!  I feel so blessed to have met her, connected with all of your wonderful ladies, and to have been fortunate to celebrate our unions with such a warm human being.  Our photographer told my Mom that never in her life had she witnessed two brides so geniunely kind and excited for one another on the same day.  :-)  She told my Mom, "Bride's don't usually want to share their day with anyone and I have NEVER seen anything as beautiful as their interactions!"  When we returned home, my Mom shared this with me and it reassured me that this forum works and that all my late nights on here weren't in vain. I hope this brings a smile to all of your faces and gives you a glimmer of how wonderful this experience can and should be for you.

 

Until I get my review done, below is a photo of my Dad walking me down the aisle and the other is of my new Husband, me, and my Dad.  I haven't had the time to look at our shared site yet, due to the events I listed above as well as returning to work..... but I will post them as time permits.  

 

It was a beautiful day and I know you've read it before time and time again, but it is worth saying again.... DO NOT STRESS and ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF THIS PROCESS because it is gone before you know it!  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Honey, do not fret.... we hired Mannia and were not pleased.  So you're not missing out on much there.  He was also late....which mattered quite a tad.  I am not sure of your music tastes, but they did not understand our crowd and our music tastes.  I have written up a review of our DJ experience and hope to post it tomorrow.  We saw Mannia during two receptions and they were rocking the receptions!  If you can, go with them.....if Karisma has banned them, try your damndest to get your WC to tell you the names of the DJ's that they hire so that you can review them beforehand if possible.

 

 

Gorgeous pictures! You looked stunning! Congratulations! Can't wait to read your review

Our colors are pink, gold & ivory. can't decided if I want to do all the table runners pink and all the chair sashes gold. Or if I want to mix and match. Some tables pink runner & pink chair sashes and others gold on gold. What do you ladies think? Which would look better?

Congrats, so happy to hear it was all you wanted it to be and more!

Welcome back Mrs. bigboponthebeach! So glad you had a great time, and it is true. There are so many beautiful women on this site, and everyone is so happy and supportive of each other.

Can't wait to see more pictures, but I totally understand the situation (been having a very similar spring/early summer)

Love your dress! You look stunning.

[MandM 2011]

BigBogonthebeach - beyond being gorgeous, you are simply glowing and your Dad looks so young!

Thanks for your words of assurance and I am trying my hardest to get the DJ info - we have even negotiated an amazing Rate at both the Barcelo & the Iberostar, where we can have Doremixx and whatever photographer we want on the side, in case Lomas doesn't come through.  It would be a shame to move...so keep your fingers crossed!

 

Wishing everyone a happy hump day

Okay, ladies.... my review is up but I warn you, it is LONG!!!  It might be in your best interest to just print it out and read it at your leisure.  :-)  I never imagined having that much to say, but once I got rolling, I kept saying to myself, "Might as well tell them this, might as well tell them that....."  ;-)  I apologize for the length and hope it helps.  I also included a quasi - spolier alert essentially stating that I am a brutally honest person, so for those who'd prefer the "head in the clouds" approach, you might want to skim or avoid my review.  There is nothing overtly negative that would deter one from booking AS nor being excited about their wedding at AS, I just covered every base with details of the good and not so great.  I'd rather have a bride prepared and aware of possibilities than not.  Again, I hope it helps!  Here it is or click below my signature:

Thanks Murmel!!!  It is Brides such as yourself that made our experince great!  Thank you again for all of your help and advice and I am sorry to hear about your loss as well.  :-(

 

Hopefully I can gather up more pictures this week.  Life kind of took over and they are in my email, on our shared site, on CD's and just EVERYWHERE!  :-)  I need to get organized now that we are home. 

 

And I too loved my dress!  Funny storey, I never saw myself in lace and tried on all these beachy/flowy type of dresses.  I reluctantly tried my dress on after not feeling the flowy type.  By BF urged and begged me too and as soon as the Consultant zipped it up, I felt like a queen!  The faces of my cousins and best friend when I came out the dressing room said it all!  :-) I felt like a million bucks in it and it is so true what they say, when you know... you just know.  Thanks again!

Thanks so much!  Everyone says that and he eats it up!  He is actually eligible for retirement, believe it or not.  He takes REALLY good care of himself, works out daily, and doesn't eat pork or fried foods.  He believes in having a salad daily and walks each night after dinner.  I hope to be like him when I grow up.  :-)  Some who saw our photos, thought he was my Husband!  LOL  Sorry, all he needs is a wig and we are twins.  :-) 

 

I wrote about my DJ thoughts in my review.  I really hate that something as trivial as a vendor takes on such a life, but Karisma has created that unecessary chaos.  :-/  I will keep my fingers crossed for you!  Who is your WC?  PM me if you want to talk more about this.......

Thank you, my BF found it online after I showed her an inspiration photo.  We searched high and low in stores and online for it and could not find it anywhere.  She ended up finding it on a site similar to Ebay and we actually handpainted our nautilus shell box holders to match the frame.  It was tough making that want come true.  :-)
