August 2009 brides

[Jacilynda]

We are having our reception under a large Palapa on the beach starting at 5-530p. I know it's really hot in August, although in Akumal its about 90 during the day and 70-75 at night. Most of our guests are going to be there 4-5 days before, so they'll be used to it by time we have the wedding

I've seen a lot of brides on this forum get married in August but I don't want my guests to be dying from the heat.. What are you girls doing for your reception?

I wouldn't worry about it too much.. I moved my ceremony to 7pm to get the sunset and cooler temps. I am giving everyone sandalwood fans as favors so they can keep a little cool.
I am not having a formal reception... We are doing a quick cocktail hour after on the beach with our first dances; then off to the resort restaurant for dinner and then to the 'disco' to party.
If you are really concerned about being outside in the heat; talk to your resort and see if they have inside/air conditioned rooms/restaurant that you can use.

Welcome girls! I'm soooo excited that we're finally expanding. I really need to work out flight arrangements, but I'm beginning to slack and spend toooooo much time on Christmas and Thanksgiving isn't even here yet.

I echo Jacilynda's welcomes and excitement that our little group is growing!!

 

My only focus for now is on finding a dress!!!

 

So think some positive thoughts for me.. Im going shopping next Fri with my MOH. I have dresses printed and the store has told me that they have them.

Let me know if you ladies want to see the ones I am considering to give me your AugustBrides opinions!

Am I the only August 2009 Jamaica bride? Did I make a mistake with choosing Jamaica in August?

no way are you the only JA bride. You did not make a bad choice. I am glad to see more JA brides. Welcome. I have a site I want to share with the ladies looking to save on dress.
