Bad day maybe? : ) Hope it gets better!! I've been talking to her for about a month now. I don't know why but every email gets more confusing. I went ahead and asked my TA to deal with it. I'm glad we're not having our wedding there tho, or I'd probably be hiring an outside WC. I'm glad you had a good response from her! Maybe she was just getting me confused with someone else... It is amazing (like night and day almost) the difference between her and the WC at the Mayan. The guy at the Mayan responds usually within the hour and is clear and organized. He always seems to know who I am. *shrug*

It's your day - YAY!!!! I hope you're having a wonderful wedding day Shelley

I just have told Tom he better not be downing shots beforehand. We were drunk when we got engaged, I don't want to be drunk at the wedding. hehe I agree ~ enough to take the edge off but definitely not drunk! I wanna remember it!

Quote: Originally Posted by tvt oh, yes, my friend did do a shot of jag (barf!). but even before that she was crazy calm Haha, bleh I hate jager too!!! The last (and only) time I had it was my 21st bday ~ I woke up smelling like black licorice w/twist ties holding my hair up

Oh man, I bet I am gonna be SOOOO nervous/anxious/excited....!!!! I'm definitely gonna need a drink beforehand to calm me down, lol. Hopefully my girls will have a bottle of champagne (or tequila) ready!

Hi Brittney ~ There are lots of Jamaica brides on here and everyone is very willing to help!

Found this too: Dean is the first hurricane in the Atlantic. Dean continues to intensify as it approaches the Caribbean Sea. An Air Force recon aircraft has been flying through the center of Dean for much of the afternoon. It's been determined that Dean now has top sustained winds of 100 mph; a category 2 on the Saffir-Simpson scale. It continues to move quickly west toward the Lesser Antilles. Dean is forecast to steadily intensify as it moves west, threatening the Lesser Antilles as early as tomorrow morning morning. Hurricane warnings and watches have been posted for parts of the Lesser Antilles. From there, Dean should continue westward into the Caribbean and has the potential to reach "major" hurricane status by early Saturday. It may threaten Jamaica and the Cayman Islands during the latter half of the weekend and into Monday. Those vacationing and residents of the Yucatan Peninsula and Cozumel should also keep a concerned eye towards Dean. It is too early to tell what, if any, impacts Dean will have on the United States but all along the Gulf Coast will want to keep monitoring Dean through the weekend into next week. Heavy rain and thunderstorms have been persistent especially over the upper Texas Gulf Coast. The rain has spread inland into the central heart of the state as well. In some localized areas in the surrounding metros of both San Antonio and Houston have seen the rain gauge top out over 7 inches. The heaviest rain is thankfully, for the most part, avoiding the saturated city of Corpus Christi. In fact, much of south Texas is escaping Erin's heaviest rainfall.

Thanks for the update. Looks like it could be headed towards TX/LA too.

Any updates on where it's headed?

I would tend to think if they haven't RSVP'ed they probably aren't coming but I think it's a great idea to send out a "Final Reminder" if possible to let them know in a round about way that you aren't waiting around for them.

If all else fails could you get a babysitter or someone in your family to watch over Rayden for a little while so the two of you could go meet with the DJ?

I just saw these - Awwww, you guys look so cute!

That's hilarious!

Ok, Abigail (WC at Westin PV) is driving me a little nuts. She is so confusing. First off it takes her a couple weeks to get back to my emails. Fine, I can deal with that. But then her replies make NO SENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She keeps getting dates all kinds of messed up. For example, in the beginning I asked if May of '09 was available. For some reason she thought I was talking about Nov of '08?! Every email since then has been utterly confusing, most of all the one I received today - I had written a couple weeks ago (when we were originally planning on going in August) asking if we could meet with her the day we arrived (Monday Aug. 20th) and also asking if it would be possible to host a Welcome Dinner in the Royal Beach Club room. This was her response: Subject: WED MAY 2008 (wtf? where does this come in?) Body: Dear Ms. Miller, sure we can attend you either the 21stth Please let me know what time is better for you 10 am or 11.00. Best Regards. I'm thinking it is partially due to a language barrier thing but I was just wondering if anyone else has had issues in communications with her...
