Yes the thing that really pushed me over the edge was asking me to move it to another country! I will be sure to pint out that she could stay at a different hotel and I will pay for her day pass. It's just frustrating because most of my other friends are super excited and I feel like she's just being really negative. It really ruined my whole mood because I was so excited when I finally got everything worked out. I guess you just can't please everyone right!!

Hey Ellipse I think the mini-cruise would be a great idea. Could you please give me some information on it when you find out? Thansk everyone for the encouragement. I know we will be in a beautiful spot and time shouldn't matter, but 11 am is just not what I had in mind. I'm sure it will all work out!

Thanks I will definitely check into that. I'm sure it will all work out, i'm just not thrilled about the wedding being so early!

Thanks for all of the advice! I am going to have to sit down and just tell her that we are planning the trip for us and that if she can't go I completely understand. I just hope that it doesn't cause hurt feelings and end up ruining our friendship.

So I asked my good friend to stand up in the wedding as my maid of honor. I did let her know our plan was to go to Jamaica before asking and gave her time to talk it over with her fiance before committing. However now that I am planning the wedding and choosing the date and location, she is being so difficult! I told her we were going the week of April 5-12th and were staying at the RIU Ocho Rios. When I told her the price of the package, she had a fit saying that was way too much. Now I think ROR is a nice moderately priced resort. By no means did I go with the ritziest hotel out there! I wanted to find something moderately priced, but yet a nice resort. I don't want to get married at a dump! So my MOH comes to my hose that night with a list of other resorts and dates that she feels are better deals. The real kicker is half are not even in Jamaica! She told me that I should just go to Cancun or DR because they are cheaper and why should everyone pay more money just to go to Jamaica. I was speechless! This is supposed to be mine and my fiance's day! I do feel bad making people spend all of the money to be there, but if they can't make it I understand. We will have a AHR that they can attend. My dillema is, do I ask her to step down as MOH as I don't want to constantly be told what I should do to please her...it' my wedding!! Am I being ridiculous or was that really rude

I am so upset! I had my wedding all set for Thursday April 9 at 2:00, and I got an email from ROR that the minister would not be available at that time. They offered me Friday 4/10 but it's at 11:00 am. I really didn't want to get married this early. Do any of you know anyone who did the early wedding? How does it work out? I want to do the dinner receptiona nd was thinking of renting the DJ/disco and now I'm wondering what we will do all day in between the ceremony and the reception. Do you stay in your dress all that time?? I'm afraid by the reception time, my makeup will be all melted off and my hair will be messed up. Does anyone have any advice?

Oh no! That is when we are going. I hope they are not sold out! We are getting married on the same day...what time do you have?? I planned our trip from April 5-12. We are going to Couple Negril the week after for our honeymoom.

Hi my name is Ericka and I am just starting my planning! This site seems sooo helpful and I am happy that I came across it! I am in the process of booking our trip at the RIU Ocho Rios for April 2009. It seems that there are a lot of ROR brides on here so I look forward to planning together! I am still trying to figure out how the forum works, but I'll get it eventually! :thew ave:
