Arnaud was in NY for about three days and he came over to my house to meet with my Fiance and I.  He is the most down to earth guy I have ever met.  My fiance and him exchanged stories about Columbia as his wife is from there and shared a glass of wine with us He is great and I am excited for him to shoot my wedding.  Even my doggy loved him and he was laying on his lap the whole time we were talking lol.  It was a great meeting and we got alot of questions answered although there are some I always seem to forget to ask.  But yes, def nothing to worry about!

Hi everyone, my name is Sabrina and I've just booked for December 17, 2011 and am super excited!  I can't tell you the wealth of knowledge I've gained from this blog - super helpful!

Hello girls,

Dreams resort was amazing, very friendly staff, great food and lots of fun! 

Yanna is awesome, we should her pictures of how we would like everything to look and she did an amazing job to replicate everything from the gazebo décor, to the reception setup, the flowers and the cake! We were very pleased. Elke also did a great job with reading our script.

I got my hair done at the spa, although it didn’t turn out exactly how I would’ve liked, Maria did her best and did a good job, the makeup on the other hand I decided to do myself as there was a language barrier even though I showed her  photos etc.

Wedding day, it rained in the afternoon so we were a bit worried, there were dark clouds on one side and sun on the other but everything turned out great, the rain kept missing us all day.  We did feel rushed however with our photo shoot with HDC and were disappointed that Arnaud was not our photographer as we requested.   We ran into some problems with both the resort photographer and HDC as both have told us that we would get our photos before we leave and this did not happen.  In the end instead of having our photos printed from Tropical Pictures they gave us a cd with all of our photos on it and we received the photos from HDC a week later. The cocktail hour and reception were great, everyone loved the food and it was way better then what they serve at the restaurants. Our cake turned out so cute, exactly how we wanted it. We didn’t get a chance to eat it that night so we had it the next night at the world café and left it there for guests and staff to finish.  After dinner we went to party on the beach, we brought our own liquor, games and prizes and everyone had an awesome time and later we headed over to the disco.  Over all, everyone had a great week and wish we were still there! Any questions, ask away!

I put a slideshow together with some of our wedding photos from Tropical Pictures, HDC and a couple of my own … enjoy!

Dressa and MissTaken - your pics are both gorgeous!  Looks like you had a fantastic wedding.

 

DANA!!  congrats and welcome back, so glad that things turned out well and hoping that the many bumps along the way were just minor!  Can't wait to hear all about it.

 

Noemi - your dress is really pretty, I love the skirt!

 

Sabrina - Welcome!  This is an awesome thread for DLR brides.  If you have the stamina to read through the 200+ pages it is VERY helpful as there are not a ton of DLR brides!

 

Whew, I have only been gone for 24 hours and so much action on this thread all of a sudden! haha.  I posted a thread on my passport invites in the DIY forum since I FINALLY got them all sent out and am hoping that people will be sending their RSVPs soon!  Also - dress, flowers and chair sashes have all been ordered so I've had a productive week!
