You look so gorgeous! You are silly to be self-conscious, those pics are fantastic and your FI is going to love them!

Those are so pretty! I love them!

Congratulations! Sounds like it was a great time. I can't wait to see pics!

Do you mind sharing pricing info? I was looking into Sungold, Jamaica Wedding Photography by Paula and Damian : Photojournalism, Tensing Pen, Montego Bay, their work is real nice too but I haven't booked anyone yet. Sungold has a package for 5 hrs which I think would be adequate - 1 hr prior to the ceremony, 30-45 min ceremony, 1.5-2 hrs pics on the beach - 1-1.5 hr dinner/reception. So I think 6 hours would be even beter. His pricing is actually on his website under "information." Their is a pdf file you can open with detailed pricing. I'm getting package number two, a high resolution cd with all the images, dvd slideshow, and a couple of copies of the hard cover album (he sent me an example of this and I love it!). Oh, and I'm doing a TTD shoot the next day. I have to say that his customer service is A++++. I've bugged him so many times with so many questions and he always gets back to me right right away. That is such a breathe of fresh air compared to my wedding coordinator! Thanks for breaking the time thing down for me. It makes me feel alot better!

to the forum!

I voted beach towels. We are going to get all our guests beach towels and are going to use a vacuum seal storage bag to bring them down so they don't take up so much room. Here is a link to an example of what those storage bags can do: https://www.spacebag.com/spacebag To me, the towels would get the most use.

Those are awesome. They must have taken a lot of time but sooo nice!

Those are great! I bet you received a lot of compliments from your guests

I just booked my photographer and I was wondering what you all think of his work? His website is: Brian Design - Photography & Website Design by Brian Nejedly - Ocho Rios, Jamaica We are going to hire him for 6 hours on our wedding day and also do a TTD shoot the following day. I can't wait for that! Also, I'm wondering if 6 hours is enough time? How long before the ceremony do photographers typically show up?

At my resort in Jamaica they told me that for a reggae band it's $600 for the first two hours and then $200 every hour after that. I think live music of any kind is expensive

Beautiful pictures. It's obvious you had a wonderful time!

That's awesome. FI and I were hoping to do it before we left but don't think we'll have time. Now maybe we'll do it while were down there! :-) Did you see lots of cool fish!?

Very cool!

This is just too cute to pass up. I'm going and getting some first aid kits today! Thanks for the great idea!

Totally! Thanks ladies. I was being a baby to begin with! I just needed to take a second and realize that this is something he has put thought into and will have meaning to him. Now I love the song just because of that!

I LOVE the lyrics. I just really dislike the sound of the song itself. I think I will just go for it, because I did give him the go ahead. I just really really dislike the overall sound. I spose it's just one song. And it does mean something to me that he put the effort into finding a song. That itself means something to me, so I guess I just answered my own question.

I'm sorry if anyone likes this song, i don't mean to offend, but it's just not my taste. Its called "Dance With Me Daughter of Mine" by John McDermont I think.

Oh no! What do I do!? I told my dad that he could pick the song that him and I dance to at the wedding...big mistake! He just emailed me the song he chose and I totally hate it! What do I do!? Suck it up (I did tell him he could choose the song) or be honest?

Yay! Congratulations! Can't wait to see more pics!

I would go with the larger mug. It's too bad that it's not what you wanted but I think your guests will still be impressed. I know I would be! ;-)

I like the first one the best only with a different font or different color for the font. The t-shirts are just too cute!

So much fun! I especially love the last one of your first post and the second last one of your second post!

Thank-you so much ladies - you both did such wonderful jobs! FI is determined to make me one now though. I've been giving him a hard time because it is the one project I put him in charge of (way back in August) and he still hasn't created one. When I told him that you ladies came up with some really great monograms we can use he took offence because it was his project (lol...men!) So, we'll see. I figure I'll give him one more week and if nothing still, then I'll let you know which monogram of yours we choose! Thanks again...they look great!
