I am JUST starting to look now at destinations and I am seriously considering this resort.  I'm looking at Nov 30, 2013.  They said they have a 5pm symbolic ceremony available. 

 

I wanted to know what everyone thought about the fact that I was going to possibly have my wedding Thanksgiving weekend (possibly, because I haven't actually booked anything yet).  It will be the Saturday after Thanksgiving.  A few people said that it's a wonderful idea because they're already off from work and get to go away from the cold weather (we're NYers) for a long weekend.  Other people said that Thanksgiving is a "family holiday" and that it would be unfair to ask people to go away that week.  I did suggest that people can come the Wed night before, I would have a welcome dinner on Thanksgiving for those who could make it and for those who cannot, they could come on Fri or Sat for just the ceremony on Sat.  There would also be a brunch on Sun morning for those who missed the welcome dinner.  Technically, it's still the off season so the flights and hotels are cheaper than if I were to do it in Dec or in Jan/Feb 2014, so I thought I was being considerate picking a day that most people would not have to request time off from work and when the prices are cheaper. 

 

What is everyone's opinion of this?

 

Also, are there any other Nov 2013 brides out there??

Hey S ;)  -  please don't look at my english writing , I am french...-

I'm just starting to look at destinations too.. since I've chosen my engagement ring and I will be engaged any time now.... I had my mind set on a DW on may 8th, 2013 but after reading 10 pages of this thread.... WOW.. I think it will have to be a November 2013 wedding ... which was my second option. I've been to a DW back in 2010 at the Majestic Colonial.. and since that day I knew this is what I wanted !! The resort might change.. but it would be either in Cayo Santa Maria Cuba (cheapest.. more guest would be able to attend) or in Punta Cana. I had no idea it would have to be planned so many months in advance...and didn't expect all the extra cost for the reception to be as I'd like it to be..

 

I, too, want to stay in off season , but also want to stay away the hurricanes season.. that's why if it's not May 8th, (sigh...) it would have to be November. Have you decided the resort you want ?
