Hey Everyone!

My name is Chelsea I have been poking around this website for a few weeks now and there is so much useful information! And so much talent in the DIY section which has inspired me to do my own invites. We were originally planning on a wedding in Ottawa 31 Aug 2013, (majority of our family is all over Ontario) but soon after the complaints in regards to our reception location started to surface, the stress of planning a wedding and pleasing everyone began. So my FI and I decided that a destination wedding is the way to go! I suppose it was a blessing in disguise. We narrowed our destination down to Punta Cana. I have spent the last three weeks researching resorts and I finally decided on the Majestic Colonial. My Travel agent is waiting to hear back from them. Then I found the forum on the Colonial / Elegance and all along, I thought the Elegance was adults only. And now that I know it's not, I am hoping my TA can get us a date there in early July. I didn't realize how far in advance they get booked... So my fingers are crossed!! I'm so excited!!!!!

Hey Everyone!

I am new to this site and love what I am seeing!!

I am planning to have my wedding in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. I am in the process of pricing out three hotels, Riu Ocho Rios, Gran Bahia Principe and the Iberostar Rose Hall. My ultimate choice is the Riu but I want it to be an affordable trip for family.

looking forward to reading about everyone else's dream day and any hints, tips, and tricks that will be helpful, what a great site!

Thanks!
