Heidi

awesome review Mo!!! Thanks so much for giving us all of those details!!!

I can't wait to post mine. Everybody looks so wonderful!!! My mom took pics of me & my sister last weekend, but I accidentally left my camera there. Hoping to get it back today or tomorrow & post here!

Sarah, I am so sorry to hear that you're sick...please let me know if I can do anything. BIG HUGS!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAUREN!!!!!

I have to agree with Catherine's recommendation. Since I've been having MAJOR problems with my TA, I switched to Jennifer for the remaining guests who will be booking. It's so wonderful to have someone NICE working with me on this! She got me an answer to a question in a few days where as I'm STILL waiting for an answer from the original TA months later. So far, Jennifer has been great.

Wow, that looked like SO MUCH fun!!! Evita's looked fabulous! And I loved seeing where you had your sand ceremony... it looked like the perfect wedding!! Congrats again!

So please don't revolve your wedding events around this beach party because it may not happen or they could change the night again. YAY!!! I was hoping we wouldn't miss the beach party (our wedding & reception is on Friday) MO!!! How the heck are you?!?! I can't wait to see those pics & hear more abotu your time there!

Welcome home! Glad to hear that things went well...can't wait to see your pictures!!!

I completely agree with Shelley. I ended up getting a dress in the one style that I thought I didn't want. You never know what will look best on you!

Hi! Check out our other threads for detailed info about weddings at the Riu Ocho Rios. Jamy (starchild) was there for her honeymoon a few months ago, and Jerzzygirl just got married there. We're using the decorations that come with the package...just adding centerpiece things I'm bringing from home (pink & green tea light candles and luminary photo frames).

I have absolutely no idea...I haven't even thought about that! Off topic...did you hear back about ROR

Happy Birthday!!!!!

I've been slowly accumulating things for BM gifts. I have no idea what my grand scheme picture is for these gifts and I'm looking for some creativity that I just can't seem to find! What I have: 1. Black & White polka dot purse/bag from Gap ($6 each on clearance) 2. Make up travel 2 go kits from E.L.F. ($5 each) 3. Small perfume from Banana Republic ($10 each) SO....what the heck else am I getting to fill up these bags?!?! They're not too big, like a medium sized purse. I got an 8x8 photobook for my sister (MOH). My ideas are: ~gift certificate for the resort spa ~paying for a really cool excursion in Jamaica ~some sort of jewlery-ish thingy ~Jamaica-themed things/things they can use in Jamaica (Bob Marley CD, snorkeling set, sarong, etc) HELP! All ideas are very much appreciated!

I just got used to the medium/long look. It was shaved for YEARS!!

I made one for my sister (MOH) for one of her many MOH gifts. I love it too! I got the small version though (8x and it's perfect! Glad you like yours ~ it looks great!!

I know that the beach party is at the Riu Ocho Rios on Friday nights...but not sure about other Riu's.

But I would email her before you go to make an appointment with him.She actually emailed me to tell me this when I asked who the Minister would be. We did not set up an appointment but we did meet him 2 days prior to our wedding. He was finished with a wedding and when he walked away we went over and introduced ourselves. It was very nice meeting him prior!! 2. We did not write our own vows, we just wanted the "religious" ceremony, but we wanted him to finish with " I now pronounce you man and wife in this no problem island of Jamaica,mon" Chandlyn said he does say that, but she still wrote it down to just make sure, she did ask if there was anything special we wanted him to say. 3. Yes, you can add readings just tell her at your meeting. We did write our own sand ceremony vows, and Reverend Anderson read them, It was really beautiful!! If anyone knows how or where I could upload a short video that I have from the wedding let me know and I will post a link. I was thinking maybe you tube?? Hope this info helps..... THANK YOU for your responses! I think youtube has a limit on how long the video can be (less than 10 mins I think)

I LOVE that!!!
