Welcome to the forum. I am getting married in the DR and I love it there!

I love it! Great choice on bands!

I say pink cause red won't look good and you want some colors in your flowers.

That looks great what a neat idea. Sarah does such fantastic work!

Congrats that's so exciting!

They look good great job.

I say no stick with your date and tell him to figure something else out. I had a friend who changed their DW to the same month and year as mine. When I told her I wouldn't move mine cause that is what worked for us then she compromised and now she is getting married in the DR also.

Looks like you had a blast the food looks so yummy!

Welcome to the forum!

That looks great the palm tree stamp looks so good with the pink.

I haven't decided if I am using paper bags or reusable totes yet but I am just putting a version of my monogram on it that just says the location and the date. This way people can keep them if they want but our names are not on them.

Those are really cute.

Thanks I'll keep trying. If you don't mind me asking who is your TA and where is she located?

SOrry that's a bit of a rant - Hope it makes sense! Thanks I will try that. Who did you use for a TA? Just curious because I am in Alberta and trying to find a good one.

Those look really good. Where did you buy the chapstick from?

I have not had my beach wedding yet but most hotels have the ceremony location kind of off to the side to where most people are and some hotels even move the beach chairs and people away from the area while the wedding is on. I say if you want to get married on the beach just go for it! Plus a good photographer can edit out those unwanted people in your photos.

I was wondering how far in advance everyone was able to receive quotes for your trips? I have gotten a quote from one TA for my Nov 09 wedding but others are telling me that I still have to wait like another 8 months to get any kind of pricing? I do understand that it is far away and don't expect any for sure prices but just an idea of what my guests are looking at for prices.

That looks great so far.

Those look really good great job!

Congrats the house looks great!

Wow that is really nice great job!

As long as your happy with where your hopefully your guest should be happy. I think you'll love Punta Cana!

You looked fantastic congrats!

Those looked great good job!

Aww that sucks! I would try to get your money back since they were too big.
