Hello!

[alysalynn]

My fiance and I decided to ditch our country wedding vision for the ease and warmth of a destination wedding, probably in November 2009. I might have been a little naive with the 'ease' part - there's SO many resorts and choices. I THINK Punta Cana may be a good choice for the amount of all inclusives, the great beach and some good low-priced options.

 

I get overwhelmed by the various wedding packages, and wondering if there's a resort that offers a package best for a larger group (i.e. w/out tacking on $85/pp for a reception in an a la carte). We will probably have about 40 people at least.

 

I look forward to being part of the community!

a Nov 2009 destination wedding I would start solidifying

things very soon. With all the great info on here you should

be up and running in no time!

I feel your pain, I remember when my hubby and I thought "oh is should be so much easier planning a DW" well I quickly learned that wasn't the case, you have a totally different type of stress. BUT the good thing is that you found this forum, and it was a life savor for me, as I assume it will be for you as well. Good luck and congrats on your upcoming wedding.
