Although he was very strict on the paperwork that needed to be completed before we arrived and having all the information from our witnesses, he was alright with the shoulders showing (even though I did have something in case he did not) It was also 33 degrees and he had fans for us

Congrats!! Once you sent him the paperwork, did you meet with the priest before the wedding again? Did you create programs before you left, and basically knew what the ceremony would be like?

[burkadaniels]

We never met with him before the ceremony. We did speak on the phone a few times and he was always very helpful. I did have programs made before I left, we communicated a lot by email and therefore he sent me what was in a program and I chose the readings. There is a book you can get it is called Together for Life and it has all the choices for readings from both the first and second testament. It was a god sent. I ordered it online to Chapters. Our wedding coordinator was excellent, she did the rehearsal for us and walked us through everything and was in the church the day of the wedding. 90% ofthe Dominican people are catholic so they are all pretty much in the know of what is going on!

Can you post what hotel and the name of the wedding coordinator in Punta Cana? I am going crazy with the hotels. Trying to get married at a church in June/July 2010 and have been in a verbal fight with both Dreams resorts in PC.
