Hello all! My name is Tessa and I am a Bride to Be. I am very happy to be engaged to my high school sweetheart. We have been together for over 8 years and are looking forward to our special day. We've decided to get married in winter of 2011, somewhere between January and April. We are doing a destination wedding and have no clue where to start on picking the best destination to get married. So far our top contenders are Dominican Republic or somewhere in the Bahamas or Cuba. Another factor is what resort to book with as well. There are so many out there it's overwhelming. I would love if I could get some suggestions on the in's and out's of some resorts, and information on the best place to have a destination wedding. The only requirements I want are, sunny weather, white beaches, on the ocean, and good service.

Congrats and welcome to the forum! Get familiar with the "search" feature on this site... you should be able to find all the information you need and then some.

Congrats and welcome! It def can get overwhelming...I would suggest to start to narrow down your location first, whether it be Cuba, DR etc. Then zone in on all the resorts, all inclusive, adults only etc. Using the forum to read about where other brides are planning to go or where they have been is another great way to get started. Happy Planning.
