Would the friends/family that couldn't make the wedding be interested in watching it? I showed it to a bunch of friends and family when I returned home. We actually burned copies for certain family members as keepsake's.

Happy wedding day girlie!! Hope your wedding is everything you hoped for. Drinks lots and have fun!

Oh the drinking... Im not doing a planning thread and probably wont do a review when I get back... Im too lazy and dont really care I may post a link to pics. Cheers ladies, thanks for the laughs the last bunch of months. Daquiri's and Red Stripe -- HERE I COME. Have a good time Kayte! Hope you love Jamaica and everything goes well!

Lastly, is there a phone number for Chandlyn? This way they can call if the package has trouble getting there. Chicklet: How long did it take you to receive your marriage license? And did you make any changes to your name before receiving the actual license? Mine just got here this week actually and I got married Jan 22 so it takes a couple of months to get here. I could change things like bills and such but nothing from the government. My health card, license, bank info and passport all still have my old name.

I was able to change some stuff without it (bills etc) but the banks and government weren't allowing me to do anything until they had a copy. Did u manage to get any of your money back from them in regards to the seagrape?

You had some awesome pictures!! Looks like you had a great day too. Love your dress! Congratulations....seems like forever ago eh fellow Jan 2009 Bride

They used new brushes for me and yes it was like getting your makeup done. They went very suttle with me cause I told them I don't normally wear much makeup. Sure did make my eyes stand out though. They did a great job!

We placed our order for it probably a week before christmas and it arrived on christmas eve. Only took four or five days to arrive. We didn't leave for Jamaica until Jan 17th so we had tons of time.

My husband and best man had sandals on as well. No problem! If you want a rehearsal dinner, I would suggest going to her office when you first arrive and have it arranged. She is a busy lady though so trying to catch her might be a challenge. Maybe have your meeting set up right as soon as you arrive.

I also like the fact that the Riu is closer to Cabo San Lucas so that people can head into town fairly quickly if they want to. No, I got married in Jamaica but did see the signs for the cabo one. The people we travel with and us discussed maybe taking a trip there sometime in the future. It must be a new or fairly new resort as I remember something about 2009. See maybe if you can do a search on trip advisor for it.

Princeton?!?! I grew up near there ....15 mins away - in Harley! Super small town girl ...and now I am in the KW area, also in a small town. We are still undecided between Dreams and Riu Palace in Cabo .....we think the Riu would better suit us and some of rowdy guests but they seem to having so many f'ing rules! I really want to send out STD's soon though ....so at some point, we need to make a decision! I would go with Riu forsure. I found Riu was fancy but not too uppity...we were still able to have fun without everyone thinking we were a bunch of losers..*lol*.

Have you checked on the status with Chandlyn? We got our MC about a month ago, but have yet to get it translated (damn DR!) into english. I need to do that before I can officially change my name! I hear you Kayte!! I could definitely use a vacation from work! It's getting crazy busy!! If you come across anything that you need help with please let me know - I'll help out however I can!! I had to look up Princeton!! LOL Ok...south of Drumbo! You are more than welcome to join us for our get together...if we ever decide when we are going to do it without people backing out!! LOL Don't you just hate it when the people you think you can count on just don't deliver!? It happens to so many of us brides...it is so discouraging!! I hope you don't have anymore disappointments in your planning!!! Hey Jax!! You can absolutely join!! The more the merrier!!! Just think..sunny beaches and redstripe!! Can't get much better than that. You're almost there! Once you get there, you will not wanna come home..trust me!!! There is nothing like Jamaica! Hey now hey now, I think we should do it on a patio somewhere on a day where the weather is nice enough to stay outside. I have tons of pictures to show everyone. It really does seem like forever ago that we got married..strange! Oh btw ...marriage certificate came today!! Boy is that sucker colourful..*lol*.

When are we rescheduling our SWO get together for?? End of April...beginning of May?? Who is not available what dates?? Right now I'm good whenever...no big plans! I'm good...back to normal now. Trying to start a family too which is quite exciting. Here is hoping I will be pregnant by the end of the summer. Other than that...not too much going on but still waiting for my official marriage certificate. How are you??

It must almost be time for you to leave Kayte. You all ready?? Excited? I sure wish I was going back to Jamaica!! We are already talking about a return trip next year.

I am however still waiting for our professional pictures to come. J did you use michael??

I am with Anna ..its pretty easy to get married in Jamaica. Just send your notorized paperwork and that's pretty much it. We even added some stuff to our ceremony and there was no problem. I am still waiting for my marriage license (got married two months this past sunday). I have changed my name on some stuff but others requires the legal certificate with the seal on it - which puzzles me as others have said they could change their name without it. Weather in january was so so .. we had a four day stretch there with some rain (we were there for two weeks mid to end of jan).

We tried to watch the football playoffs in the sports bar (over near mamme bay) on the sunday we were there and they could not get us any football so we took over the bar instead..*lol* There is also slot machines and few games down there too. Nacho's are good if you want a midnight snack There is internet accress but you are required to pay for it.

The gazebo on the beach is one of the locations you may use. There are two locations and three options. You can do the beach gazebo, choose to have a beach arch (which is fairly expensive but very nice) or you can have the garden gazebo. Chandlyn will ask you which location you want in your meeting with her prior to your wedding.

Yup, free luggage (which gets here very fast) or a $200 voucher that you can use on the e-boutique.
