Hi Kerri,

 

Thanks so much for sharing the photos!!

 

Did you happened to ask for the price of the bouquets and table arrangement?

Do you know if the resorts makes the wedding program and menu card (as part of the wedding service)?

 

Ladies,

 

Just found out last Friday that Signature vacations does not do Blue Bay anymore. So, the TA had to frantically find other options for me. Luckily Transat was able to price match but we're now leaving for MR 2 days earlier. So, I'm in the midst of changing my wedding date by a day! Another head ache.

 

On a happier note, I'm thinking of ideas for the OOT bags and favours. Having trouble finding mini aloe vera gel (for burns) and mini sunscreen for the OOT. As for the favour, my FH really wants to give away locally made photo frames but I don't want to have to go looking for them when we get there. So, I'm gonna have to find frames here. Any ideas on where to get these things?

After the wedding dinner you can enjoy with your guest in one of the bars we have open; lounge bar is open form 6:00pm until 11:00pm and we have a beach party daily form 11:00pm until 1:00am with DJ."

 

I am booking the live guitar trio, which is US $340, but I haven't heard a sample of their music. I'm sure whatever it is will be better than a CD! I also asked if they have a tres leches cake.

 

I am going to try to post the location set-up pictures as well as the list of extras in another post.

 

Anyways, hope this helps.

Ladies all this info is so helpful its not even funny! I also really appriciate the photos, I went from being nervous to really excited, it also seems that once Candy starts to focus on you all is well!

I'm also not sure what to do about gifts for everyone, I can't seem to make up my mind. Once I do I will let you all know, but in the meantime if anyone comes up with anything let me know!

At this point I think that is all I have to do besides the photographer, which I think we have pretty much decided... Where does the time go? I thought I had forever and now its 3 months away! AHHH!
