haha - for giggles, I tried to get pricing from Sandals web site for rooms for my Nov 2011 wedding at SDR and found something interesting...

SGOR's said that no rooms were available (a good message to indicate it's too early to book) but SDR's is quoting me at $139,986 for a seven night stay in any level room. That's a steal at $19,998 per night (no airfare included). They must be going to be doing some MAJOR upgrades between now and then.

I know it's not accurate but thought it was funny, nonetheless.

So...my advice would be not to book more than 2.5 years in advance lol who knows, the resort may not even be there when I'm ready ;-)

Hi Jamie, welcome and happy planning - this site is sooo addictive.

HI Kritsy - welcome and congrats

Hi Denise - welcome and have fun planning. I hope you have lots of time on your hands to browse through the information available here. It's awesome and should definately hepl you decide a location.

Hi Jenn, welcome to the forum and happy planning.

Welcome Ashley and happy planning

Hey there to a fellow Nova Scotian (I work in Halifax).

If you did your dinner on Sunday, everyone could meet each other and know who's who (unless, of course, they already all know one another).

That would give you one less thing to worry about once it is over with. Then take Monday for yourself.

Cheers !

Hi Amber - it's nice to start getting your information early. I have 1094 days left until we plan on getting married (we aren't even officially engaged ) But once we had the idea of a DW, I couldn't get started fast enough !! I can tell I am going to have a three year obsession.

Best wishes to a fellow Canadian bride to be and keep us posted!

Theresa

hi Tariq - not a lot of planning time left. Congrats

Hi Sam - congrats!!!

Welcome to the forum - there is so much information here on ROR.

Welcome to the forum Sarah - you will find sooo much DIY stuff on here - it's amazing

Welcome to the forum !

Welcome and congrats Misha

Welcome Melinda...

So Jennifer, since you were blindsided, did you get to take in any of the unveiling details? I would have been too nervous to concentrate.

Welcome back TAJennifer !

Hey Amanda,

Hope things are clearing up for you since you last posted. Some great alternatives have been given - I hadn't thought of getting a photog to do touchups after the fact.

Heather - I LOVE the cammo bags for the guys.

Sorry you are going through all of this, Amanda.

If you have people changing plans on you this close, I can't wait to deal with the scenario changes for my wedding in 3 years lol

It's gorgeous !!

I guess the first thing to do would be to find out the return policy - that may make your decision easier. Also, maybe there is a retailer in your area that may carry the same dress??

When we first got the idea of a DW wedding, we thought it would only be us and one other couple so we chose Jamaica due to the simplicity and cost of the paperwork, etc.

Now, more people want to join us, and they have 3 years notice to save :-)

oooohhh - it's even shinier on the web site picture - I love it!!

Welcome Theresa (that's my name too!).

Browse through the forums and you will find more information than you can imagine. Have fun with your planning.
