When I first started planning our wedding we included an AHR in the budget because we didn't think that many people would be joining us in Jamaica. The turnout is going to be great from what it looks like so I don't think I will be having a AHR.

I have no problem giving a tip only if the services that were provided were stellar. My WC from the Riu is not the best person to work with, but I heard she does do a good a job overall and not to worry. I guess we will see.

It looks so elegant. Beautiful choice!!

That is great to hear. Maybe we can have an early, early breakfast together before our ceremony begins. Let's see what happens!

I agree. I am going to check this place out as well.

I agree no tie!!

I was going to do ivory and when I told my FH he wanted me to white. So white it is!

I like the 2nd one better. Who is the designer? I would love to see that dress.

I really like the 2nd one. The back of the dress has a classy look. Both dresses are really beautiful!

You guys took some beautiful pictures. I think they were sexxy and very passionate. Beautiful! Beautiful!

Wow, that story is truly amazing. It is so beautiful to watch a relationship grow and blossom into so much more. You guys have stayed by each other's side through thick and thin. This is true love. May God continue to bless your family with this gift of love.

That is really awesome. Congratulations!!! Wish you guys the best and can't wait to see the pictures from your Destination Wedding.

I probably would've broke down in tears as well!!

I picked the 3rd one. That one is sleek and sexy!

That is so hot. Do they have it in blue?

Hey Ladies, I am kinda going through it. My daughter is 8 years old but will 9 years old when we get married next year. At first she wanted to be the flower girl and was totally excited. She now wants to be the jr. bride (a mini me). I was going to just have her be a jr. bridesmaid. Should she be the jr. bride so that she plays more of a role in the wedding or should I just let her be the jr. bridesmaid? I have never seen this done but someone obviously put this in her head that she can be a jr. bride and wear a white gown like mommy. After I posted this I realized that I was in the wrong section of the forum.

That is just too hilarious!!! There is a hint of that in all of us! lol!

The Riu brides are the greatest! Early brides should have a lot of options to consider now. I'm so glad I found you all to share ideas with. Robert left for Iraq this morning. This has been the worst day and I know the longest night ever!!! He has been right by my side for every decision that has been made for our wedding. Even the tiniest details...like font types!! It helps to know that you all are out there now. For all of you with faith...please keep our soldiers in your daily prayers. Thanks again for all the great info!! Tee Tee, I'm holding it down girl!! Robert will be fine. He has your love and dedication to keep him warm at night and your thoughts and prayers to get him through his days. I know you can hold it down! You have all of these absolutely lovely ladies including myself to help you when you need it. You also know you can give me a call whenever things get a little crazy. I'm here for you girl!

I just want to see the look on his face the first time he sees me in the gown. The reaction won't be the same if he sees you in the gown before the wedding. Just my opinion!

Well, most likely if everything goes well I will be paying for my BM's dresses and we are definitely paying for the GM's attire. The guys attire is so much affordable.

Very nice!! He will love it! It's elegant and sexy at the same time.....

These all sound good. Thanks ladies. You guys are quick and on board. I love this forum!!!!!!

My oldest brother will be giving me away. What should the official title be since he is obviously not my father? I want to word it nicely for our website and for our programs. Any suggestions?

Jhmein, Thanks for the sending the pictures and for the record his pictures are much better then the previous ones!!!

Thanks for doing the research. It looks like fun!!
