I don't know what unwound have done without him!!) our trash the dress pictures are coming this weekend, I will be sure to post them.

Hope this makes you girls feel a little better, looking ahead to your big day, because no matter how many things went wrong... That what made our wedding special and unique to us!



Enjoy! :)

Wow! Congrats, your pics are awesome! I currently live in Fort McMurray and my wedding is on November 15th! If you don't mind me asking...where did you get the personalized hanger for your dress. That is a very neat idea!!

Hi,

 

first question, canadian or american? I only know the canadian courts cuz I work for lawyers. when a divorce is granted you get one copy of a document with a red seal on it. that is the "be all and end all" of your papers and generally costs mucho buckos to replace if you lose it. you also get an order that is "certified to be a true copy of an original", which a lot of places will accept as proof of divorce. generally when you're getting a marriage licence they want the original red seal one. I don't know what they give in the US if that's where you are. we were instructed that Jamaica needs at minimum a certified copy of the original of the final decree, not the order as heard. so that's what we're taking with us and be prepared to leave it there for it to become part of the registrar's records of the country. they will also keep the certified copies of your ID, which also will become part of the registrar's records.

 

so far the only thing I've sent is our info form. I haven't yet sent any ID and Chandly just told me I don't need to send it in advance. my thought is that like I said, we're only 2. we have no wedding party, or guests or anything. it's just us so maybe doing our stuff is simpler??  don't know for sure. but yes, all we need is the birth certificate certified, passport certified, and divorce order in original. we haven't been asked for a credit card form yet, again probably because it's just the 2 of us. we definitely aren't over on any of the costs and they're saving  BUNDLE on our dinner reception!!

I'm also divorced - I have a divorce certificate from the court house that I THINK is sealed (will have to look at it again when I get home) - is that all you had to send in with your birth certificates, ID, credit card payment etc?

 

If you can let me know, I'd really appreciate it!

 

Thanks :)

I'm with you on that. we have a tendency to forget that it's a different country and even though it's english, things aren't always interpreted properly by email.

 

sorry if this old lady sounds like she's preaching, but I'm old enough I'm know to be the mother of most of you. my oldest child is 30 and my youngest is 25!  so ladies - take responsibility for your planning. yes - use the resort. by all means. that's what they're there for, but it is a foreign country and being proactive will always get you further ahead. try and anticipate. and spend a few bucks on a phone card!!  I've found 3 time snow that a phone call helped tremendously!!  I've spend a grand total of $20 and it was well worth it!!  end of lesson for today  lol

I know that everything seems frustrating right now, but try to hang in there!  Remember that everything works on "Island Time", the expectations for timely response is very different from North American standards.  On top of that, the language they often use would not mean the same thing to us ie. "you have no file".  Not the best way to communicate that they are missing one form.

 

For the time being, I am focusing on trying to optimize the instructions that I will be giving to Chandlyn/Donnalee to minimize the chance of error and hopefully give us the best shot of getting what we want. I've made a document with clear instructions and pictures of what I want the gazebo to look like and how I want everything set up (and I included the importance of having the sand ceremony sand in the vases!).  I've also made documents for the dinner and diagrams of each place setting, room set up, etc.  Hopefully between the text and the pics, it will be crystal clear!  We've heard from other brides on here that with clear instructions, they really have gotten the vast majority of what they were expecting, so I think its worth the time! 

 

I'm not sure if that helps at all, but I'm trying to focus on what I can do on my end rather than on the wedding planners.  Happy Planning! :)

Your pictures are stunning! We too have booked Merrick as our photographer and I couldn't be happier with our decision.  8 months ago when we booked him I was a little skeptical as he was fairly new to the business and wasn't that busy, plus his prices were outstanding, so I was naturally a little worried about the quality, but after seeing your pictures I know we made the right decision and I can not wait to get married!!

I couldn't agree with you more.  I have been spending most of my time lately writing out and drawing pictures so I can take and show exactly what I want and explain everything I want.  I already have come to terms that not everything is going to go as planned and Im okay with that.  I get a daily wedding tip in my email and the other day it said this " Don't worry about the little things that didn't go exactly as planned, likely, you are the only one to notice.  Enjoy your day and the memories you are making"  It really got me thinking that not everything can go perfectly and I feel like if I prepare myself now It will be okay!!

 

PS I'm going to spy on your wedding!!

Jaykay: I agree 110%!  I've come to accept that the day will not run entirely without a flaw!  All we can do for the time being is focus on organizing and simplifying things on our end and hope for the best! The reality is, none of our guests know what the plan is; they're just going to see an amazing day in the sunshine with their close friends/family getting married!  To them I'm sure it will seem perfect anyways!  Unless is rains...that's the one thing that would totally ruin the day for me! lol!

 

Ps, you won't be 'spying' on my wedding!  You're welcome to come and check it out!  Would be great to see you down there! :)

acw271011,

 

Thanks. We're Canadian. I have our original copy of my old marriage license and the Divorce Certificate I have is just something I picked up from the court house and paid $20  for it. It's stamped (does that mean it has the red seal?) It's in a "certificate format", says  "Province of Manitoba" at the top and then "Certificate of Divorce" just below it...and then what they've done is filled in our names, the date of our marriage etc on the computer, printed it out and the lady signed it above the line that says "deputy of registrar" and then she's stamped/indented it over her signature. I'm not sure if this is what I need or if I need to get extra paperwork. Oh, it also has the date our marriage was "dissolved" etc too.

 

Does this sound like the correct thing to you or should I be checking into it a bit further? Probably wouldn't hurt to check into it further anyways...?

 

Thanks again,

 

Funkybride :)

    • Just finished building and was lost on heating... [url=https://rjadom.ru/]this site[/url] helped a lot with practical examples.
    • [b]Сайт Кракен – лучшая торговая площадка Даркнета [/b] Сервис Kraken – лучший магазин Даркнета, где продаются разные позволяющие расслабиться препараты, фальшивые документы и деньги, можно заплатить за доступ к чужим личным данным и аккаунтам. Клиентам обеспечивается полная анонимность, а количество магазинов всё время растёт. [b]Покупки на Кракене[/b] На Кракене можно найти такие предложения: • Несколько видов наркотиков – от марихуаны и стимуляторов до ЛСД и кокаина. • Обналичка Bitcoin. • Взломанные аккаунты ВПН. • Услуги хакеров. • Паспорта, удостоверения, водительские права. • Банковские карты и симки. • Фальшивые купюры – в основном, 1000, 2000 и 5000 руб.. • Оборудование и приборы – от скрытых камер и жучков до флешек для взлома. На сайте можно и найти работу. Например, стать закладчиком, химиком или гровером. Можно стать продавцом. [b]Преимущества сервиса[/b] Причины для выбора площадки Kraken: • Полная анонимность клиентов и владельцев магазинов благодаря расположению в сети Onion. • Применение криптовалют в качестве денежной единицы. Это гарантирует анонимность всех транзакций. • Доступ к покупке сразу после оплаты. Закладки уже доставлены – нужно только забрать. • Минимальный риск мошенничества. Проблемы можно решить обращением в поддержку сайта, доступную 24 часа в сутки. • Система рейтинга, которая позволяет сразу отсортировать лучшие магазины. • Доставка в разные города РФ и соседних странах. Список доступных мест содержит сотни наименований. Клиентам сервиса можно бесплатно использовать дополнительные услуги. Круглосуточно они могут получить консультацию у юриста или нарколога. А если появились проблемы – обратиться в техподдержку, которая тоже отвечает круглосуточно. Ещё одна особенность сервиса – собственный форум. Вход из расположенной вверху панели сайта. На форуме есть основные правила, новости и информация от других посетителей. А ещё результаты площадки и раздел для общения доставщиков товара. [b]Способы перейти на Кракен[/b] Сервис, который продаёт психоактивные вещества и поддельные документы, запрещён контролирующими службами. И зайти на него, обычным способом не выйдет. Для доступа следует использовать зеркало, браузер Тор или VPN-сервис. Сервис ВПН – вариант, вариант, позволяющий обходить блокировки сайтов. В том числе – на площадки в Darknet. Преимущество метода – защита связи, возможность изменения данных входа только в браузере или всего компьютера. Недостатки – замедление скорости и небольшой размер бесплатного трафика. Второй способ – специальный браузер Тор. Чтобы зайти на Кракен понадобится специальная ссылка, заканчивающейся на .ONOION. Плюсы – отсутствие оплаты и принцип «луковичной маршрутизации», недоступный посторонним IP и отсутствующая история посещений. Минус – сравнительно медленный доступ. Зеркала сайта – тот же сайт, который расположен по другому адресу. Отсутствуют отличия от основной страницы. Есть возможность запуска в обычном браузере. Зеркальные версии будут работать, даже если временно недоступен официальный сайт. Недостаток зеркал – трафик не скрывается, а посетитель может попасть на фейковые страницы. Потому список зеркальных версий следует брать на надёжных сайтах. Есть такой перечень на наркошопе Kraken https://kraken-v2tor.info/magazin-kraken-v-telegram.html и тематических форумах. [b]Регистрация [/b] Чтобы пользоваться сайтом нужно пройти регистрацию. Это позволит совершать покупки, использовать форум и дополнительные услуги. Для регистрации нужно выполнить несколько несложных действий: 1. Зайти на сайт и указать проверочный код. 2. В форме регистрации ввести логин, пароль и имя. Логин – английскими литерами. Имя вводится и на русском. 3. Завершить регистрацию и подтвердить согласие с требованиями площадки. После регистрации идентификаторами можно пользоваться для входа в кабинет. Здесь показываются данные о заявках и оплате, предложениях скидки, настройки аутентификации. [b]Совершение сделки на сайте[/b] Совершить покупку на сервисе Kraken можно за несколько простых шагов: 1. Указать населённый пункт в выпадающем списке. По умолчанию там стоит место, выбранное при первом входе. Можно указать метро и район города. 2. Найти нужную категорию в меню слева. Указать вариант доставки – например, закладку или прикоп. 3. Познакомиться со списком доступных магазинов. Выбрать подходящий вариант и перейти на его страницу. 4. Познакомиться с отзывами. Если покупателя всё устраивает – перейти к покупке. 5. После перехода к форме заказа указать подходящий вариант. Это может быть Биткоин, карту или телефон и даже игру в рулетку. 6. Получить адрес клада и взять товар в указанном городе и районе. 7. Написать отзыв, чтобы другие посетители знали, что товар качественный – или были проблемы. 8. Запомнить магазин в «Избранное» чтобы было проще заходить из профиля. Покупая товар, стоит познакомиться с особенностями сделок. При появлении проблем покупатели могут открыть спор где будут участвовать админы. Правда, в первый раз купить можно только на криптовалюту BTC. Если выбран вариант «рулетка», открывается доступ к игре. Это даёт шанс заплатить меньше, делая ставки на поле из 100 клеток. Ещё один вид экономии – купон. Он подходит для оплаты не больше 50процентов стоимости покупки. [b]Гарантии отсутствия обмана[/b] Обращение на Кракен позволяет рассчитывать на качество продукта. Показать клиентам, что вещества соответствуют требованиям сайта, продавец может, заказав сертификацию. При прохождении проверки сведения о сертификате будут показаны вверху карточки. Гарантия отсутствия обмана – возможность подтвердить заказ в течение 24 часов. Когда покупатель убедился, что клад на месте, он закрывает сделку. Если возникли проблемы – можно открыть спор. Когда виноват продавец, средства будут возвращены клиенту. У магазина ухудшается репутация, а частый обман приводит к бану. Поэтому некачественного товара на торговой площадке практически нет Отзывы kraken shop Kraken маркетплейснарковалютная наркомаркет Kraken Рынок Кракен наркорынок Кракен в анонимной сети kraken market резервный адрес Kraken даркнет маркет Долгопрудный Площадка Кракен в тор Kraken даркнет маркет Сыктывкар Kraken даркнет маркет Арзамас Kraken даркнет маркет Владимир Кракен Казан Читаева магазин Kraken даркнет маркет Севастополь наркорынок на Kraken Веб-сайт Кракен Kraken трейдинг Магазин Кракена Kraken наркорынок Кракен сайт Москва как войти на сайт Кра?кен официальный

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
