Sounds like my ex-husband! He knew about our wedding a year before we actually had to board the plane, and 2 days before we're set to leave he starts with the drunk-dialling. Your best option is to ignore her - if you give her an audience, she won't stop because that's what she's looking for. Do you subscribe to call-blocking? If not, this might be a good time to order it! Good luck with the crazy lady -- you'll laugh about this whole thing soon enough!

If you have your pictures already, how about putting together a nice slide show, with music, for those who weren't able to join you on the wedding trip?

Au revoir Blanche

Fab-u-lous! And I LOVE your siggy pic too!

I stumbled across this picture of an updo in a magazine and thought it was perfect for wedding! updo.pdf

Something's Gotta Give: Diane Keaton

Tiffany, the final version turned out great! And besides, you don't have to stop at one monogram - you can use this one for certain items and change it up (or go for something totally different) for others. Have fun with it!

Your guests are going to love them!

Welcome Maurice! It's nice to have another groom on the site! You're few and far between!

Your pictures are gorgeous!! I was married at Dreams PC too and it was great to see the hotel backdrops -- brought back very happy memories for me too *sniff*

Your review was very informative and I'm sure will be helpful for other ROR brides. Congrats on your wedding - looking forward to seeing your pics.

Good find bride2b10! I don't think I've seen coloured ones before. They're great and if I had known about them when I was planning my wedding I would definitely have used them.

Welcome Jenny! Check out the Dominican forum and you will get all sorts of info that will help you decide. Check out the wedding reviews section too for reviews of actual BDW member weddings at the various resorts. I'm partial to PC, but that's because I was married there so I'm biased! Good luck with your planning.

It's too bad that your experience with them so far hasn't been ideal, but I know that you will like the results! I also used them (after sourcing Canadian options with no luck) and I was very happy with our mugs. I guess the lesson to take away from this one is to be patient and order them well in advance! Like most of the popular vendors, they get busy and sometimes their turn-around time is longer than expected. Good luck with the rest of your planning!

Congratulations! You looked very beautiful and it sounds like you had a great wedding!

Hi and welcome to the forum Shelby! If I may sugggest ... try one of the BDW travel agents (click on the banner at the top of the page). These are experienced TAs with mega destination wedding experience. Any one of them would be happy to help out. Good luck with the planning!

Congratulations Cara! It sounds like you had the wedding of your dreams! Can't wait to see the pics

Your cake (and wedding) looks amazing! Congrats!

Congratulations! Sorry about the pesky ants, but glad to hear it went well in the end.

Oh wow, that's horrible! Please come back and let the ladies know if you were able to resolve the situation so that they know what to do if the same thing happens to them! GOOD LUCK!

Congratulations Veronica! Your review is so detailed and thorough that I'm sure it will help many MP brides with their planning.

Your parents are engaging in emotional blackmail. They are treating you like a child and their "gift" is not a gift at all, it's a leash. This wedding is not about their friends or family who have supported you over the years -- people do that because they love you, not because they expect to be rewarded for it. Your parents are worrying more about what people will say than worrying about their daughter's happiness. If you give in to them, don't expect this type of behaviour to change as you will have conditioned them to keep you in line by bullying you. Even though they're your parents and you love them despite their faults, you are your own person and you have your own life. Go ahead and plan the wedding you want and they will probably come around as they will have no choice, otherwise, "what will people say"

There is no need to apologize Jodie! We've all had our ups and downs and it's nice to have our BDW fix to help us get through it all. I'm a firm believer that things simply have a way of working themselves out. We just need to be patient and keep our eye on that light at the end of the tunnel! It's closer than you think!

I agree with the ladies. It doesn't really matter where your TA is based, what matters is that s/he knows how to manage groups well, and particularly how to put jittery brides at ease. I lucked out in that a friend of a friend in town managed the travel arrangements for us. If I didn't have that option available to me, I would have booked one of the BDW TAs. Actually, I shared a photographer with another bride and we booked the photographer's travel through TA Dina, and she was great!!!!!
