Our TTD (1 teaser pic) Wayyyy more to come when I get back in LA next week!!!!

I’m back everyone!!! ………..well kinda. I am in the midst of still traveling. We were at the RIU from May 5th – May 15th and then headed over to Couples until May 20th. I have SOOOO much to post, but I am in Maryland right now and have a wedding to do in New Jersey this Sunday, so I won’t be back in Los Angeles until next week. That’s when I will give my FULL, MEGA REVIEW. We took TONS of pictures and I had the pleasure of meeting Lizz and Niki briefly. For now, my teasers:

Thanks for all the well wishes ladies!! I'm almost finished packing! Hope i'm not forgetting anything!

Well ladies.......my time has come!!! I'm leaving on Monday and I just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU for all of the suggestions, ideas, advice, reviews.........basically EVERYTHING!!! Of course i will take LOADS of pics, but please let me know if there is anything in particular that any of you need. Wish me luck!!!

Lots and lots of family. Both sides are Jamaican so we had people from JA and abroad. We had about 80 - 90 people and quite a few not staying at the resort. At least 35 but I think it was quite a bit more than that. I just gave Chandlyn the list of names. Make sure you have that ready for your meeting. She doesn't have a problem but she needs to give security first/last names of all guests coming onto the resort. I was also concerned about the 80-20 rule but I guess once you're paying the $50/pp, they don't seem to mind. Thanks for reminding me about that.....i need to make my list up over the weekend. The problem is......is that my family members are bringing guest and I don't know their guest names. Will the resort still let them in if i just put my family members name plus 1 or 2 guests?

I think we finished up all the wedding stuff last night so we just have to pack. The goal is to relax over the weekend and have our last date night as single people. OMG........your getting married 1 day before me....I wanna see

Yayy!! I've been thinking about you....wondering if you had such a good time that you decided to stay permanately in JA.....LOL. We are glad you're back and can't wait for your review and of course pics!! Congrats!!

wow. everything looked perfect!! It looks like you had a big group (like me). Congrats on your beautiful day!

Quote: Originally Posted by Mich I concur. I had been stressing about this very issue for months. Some friends of ours recommended the photographers that did their wedding. They live in Kingston but were happy to make the drive to Ochie. They ended up doing our pics and video. I saw no one from the Photoshop on my wedding day. Mich.........your back!!! Congrats girl!!! OMG, i didn't know that I missed your wedding.....now where's the review!!! We want details!!!

I am super stressed...........mainly about my hair!!!! My stylist cancelled on me and now i'm stuck trying to figure out how i am going to style it. Other than that, I've pretty much done everything else. here is a link to my planning thread: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t18657

i will be there. I leave on Monday and will be there until the 15th.

we are carrying all of our glass breakables on the plane with us. If you MUST pack it, use alot of bubble wrap and then wrap that in a big beach towel and put clothes all around and underneath it to protect.

Bumpity Bump Bump........for all the new brides that did TTD or BD Pics......please post!!!

you looked beautiful!! I can't wait to see the other pictures. I leave on Monday for Riu and everytime i read another great post, i get even more excited!!

Sounds like everything was lovely (except for the angry couple and broken beer bottle....lol) Congrats!!

Hi........i just responded to your PM. If you upload your files to a filesharing client like Photobucket or Snapfish, you can include the IMG tag in the body of your message and your pictures will show up. HTH!

TTD shots look great so far!! Can't wait to see the rest! You all look like you were having so much fun............1 more week to go for me........we leave next Monday!!

I will surely keep you posted. Not sure if I already mentioned to you, but I am from DC as well (actually Maryland).

I have been on a couple of sites but really like the size you have. I didn't think of inserting the scroll inside.. Really nice touch. Did you print the scroll yourself? If so do you have a program for margins? where did you get your paper? Also your programs can you post the actual attachment you are using... tried to read what was included but it comes over very small.... also nice touch... Lastly the chair sashes... what website are you using for that idea... i really like that touch... All in all everything looks very well put together... i may need to hire you for my September wedding.... hahahaha... thanks for your future responses... Hi MsAsfraz!! Thanks for the compliments. I will try my best to answer all of your questions: 1. I purchased the bottles from a place called Muskatels (parent company to Michaels). Since they carry them, I'm assuming that Michaels may carry the bottles also. 2. I printed the scolls myself on a cream color lightweight paper (purchased at Kelly Paper), then burned the edges. I printed 2 sets per sheet and used a paper cutter to cut them to the desired size. 3. Welcome Brochures - 4. Chair Sashes - I purchased them locally here in Los Angeles, and unfortunately, I can't remember the site where I saved that pic. Check out projectwedding.com. 5. Lastly, I'm actually getting rather busy with my newly discovered wedding planning business. I think that AFTER my wedding, i may go into doing this full time! Right now, i'm offering discounts *hint hint*......lol..... I actually really like it and once my creative juices start flowing........i can't stop Hope this helps!! Let me know if you have any other questions.
