It sounds like a great deal and the view will make great pics! I just copied your information about the hotel and put it in an email. I will keep you updated!

hmm... I may have to order some of this!!!

Hi Kristy!! Thanks so much for doing all of this. =) I will forward the information onto Kamila to see what she thinks. Although the start time may be too late for her. I think that she likes to start in the am. It looks like a great hotel though.. =)

Those are great!! You did an amazing job!

Thanks laybar!! Kristy, let me know what you find! I am going to email Kamila to tell her to book March 6th for us for the shoot. Then I will PM yourself and Blondie25 with my Paypal information for the $100 deposits.

Ours is all-inclusive at Dreams Punta Cana. For 7 nights incl airport xfers its $886 per person for 2 ppl in a deluxe room. Flights have been averaging about $400 per person. So, in total its been around $1200-$1300 per person. Noone has complained about the cost and we specifically chose this resort for the lower cost. Those that can't afford it; just aren't coming.

It is absolutely NOT a sign!!! I don't want to be redundant - so I will just say 'ditto' to everything that has already been said! Destination weddings are tough even when everything is going 'perfect' and in life, it has always seemed to me that the bad stuff always happens at once.. Your wedding will be amazing !!!! You can always come on here to vent and rid yourself of the negative thoughts/feelings.

I am a 2009 brides.. started WW online at the end of November. I am down 13 pounds and looking to drop another 14 or so!

We are all with you on this.. one of my BM's dropped out via email and my sister dropped out via angry hostile text. We had a GM drop out bc he just chose to never call FI back; it's been 6 months. Forgot the programs; wear your new necklace with pride and marry your man! She will regret not coming in the long run and you will have a fab wedding that she will never experience.

Thanks so much!

If anyone wants to do the 7th or a diffrent date I still want to do it I completely understand. I have already asked Kamila if there is a second date or if she can do both Friday and Saturday. Either way, I will post it on here (keep looking at this thread) - and then one of you ladies can pick up the coordination from there.

To save on costs, we are having dinner at the buffet restaurant at the resort. We are doing a quick cocktail hour in which we will do our first dances and family dances.. then off to the buffet (where the resort at no chge will put aside tables for us) to eat and then off to the disco to party. Foxytv- love the idea of bringing a cd to the disco.. Im going to try that!

They book up super fast!! I tried to book them almost a year in advance and they were already booked!

Mine's in my siggy.. its super simple but its really all we needed.

Me too.. time to get to Target!!!

Cute! I may have to stop by there and ck those out!

I love it!! I am going to look at that site. If you are doing a more casual wedding; its perfect! How do you buy them?

Thanks for the great review... I have been wondering when I would see more for Dreams PC!! Can't wait to see pics!

Wow.. those are amazing.. you are making me wish we did engagement pics!

So we have 3 of us which is enough to qualify for the group rate. Im going to give it another day or so to see if anyone else is interested and then I will give you all my PayPal information. Thanks so much for looking into the location Kristy! I will also check with Kamila on her location as well - then we can all decide from there. I am super excited and nervous too!

I wll just have to take of work that day but i need to know soon since my request needs to be in a month in advance. I would rather do the March 6th as well for your reasons and Kamila's reasoning with the natural light etc.. I think that we need 3 people to be eligible for the group rate; and I know Kristy said that she can take a day off of work as well. For those that can't - I will talk to her about setting up a Sat session.

Even though our wedding is informal; we still did all the addressing formal. I can't tell you why - but I just really liked the way it looked. I think either way is fine though.
