Newbie not sure on destination

[Niedertobe]

My fiance and I booked Sandals Whitehouse for 7/31/10, but now we're waffling and thinking of something totally different like Oahu! Fortunately, we only have the resort reserved and it's 100% refundable at this point. We just don't know how impacted Jamaica will be by the Haiti earthquake releif efforts; hurricanes in July/August; etc. Also, I saw some Youtube postings of couples on honeymoons and someone's home video of her wedding. Seriously as she walked down the isle there was a young couple on lawn chairs holding up drinks! Really?!

Welcome to the forum! Good luck with your location decision.

 

Happy planning,

Congrats and welcome!

 

Not to be a downer, but the situation in Hawaii won't be much better as far as people-watching goes. Public beaches mean even MORE people, so I think if you're planning on having a beach destination wedding, you're going to run into this at some point.

 

That said, I totally approve of Oahu! *wink, wink*

Thanks you guys. Annabanana, I think you're right that even in Hawaii we will have the crowds to deal with. I keep thinking our indecision is really just a matter of "the grass always looks greener on the other side" and every resort looks super on their website and not-so-super in home videos...especially, when the videos are homemade.

hey

 

welcome to the site find out as much information as you can about your resort you've booked and how affected it's likely to be - as it's fully refundable atm, I'd act sooner rather than later - if you decide to stick with it, chances are, you can always rebook it!

 

congrats on your upcoming wedding and HAPPY PLANNING!!
