hello everyone!

[Mahalo79]

My name is Colleen and I am so happy to have found this site! I am trying to plan our wedding for this winter but still have a lot of decisions to make. Location and date being the huge deciding factors. Having some issues with planning around my Mom *time off work, paying for younger sister etc.* but I know it will all work out. Thanks for taking the time to read my vent, I am so excited to get started planning, this looks like a great place to get started.

Hi Colleen, welcome to the forum and congrats. You'll find that finding the location can be one of the toughest decisions but once you've found "the" place everything pretty much falls in place...well sort of, and if not there are a whole bunch of besties to fall on for support and advice and vent some more if you want to. Good luck and happy planning! :-)

Hi Colleen -

Congratulations!!! I also had a very difficult time deciding on where to have the wedding. This is my second marriage, so planning this time around is totally different. After looking at prices $$$ for a small intimate wedding here at home, we decided to just have a destination wedding. I have a daughter from my first marriage that is 11 years old and we want her to be a part of our wedding. Which made it a little more difficult in picking a location because we had to work around school, and had to stay away from "couples" resorts. That's one of the main reasons we choose Beaches Turks & Caicos - it seems to be the best of both worlds all the way around. My parents will also be coming and are going to have my daughter stay with them in their room. Let us know where you decide on having your wedding. And good luck!

Welcome & congrats!!! Finding the location has been the hardest part for me! It is so overwhelming, but I think once I find the "perfect" resort everything else will fall into place! Happy planning!!
