its official, I bought my maggie today. I had gone in to order Odessa, but in the end I ordered Catrina but without the additional rose strappy thing. here is the link http://www.maggiesottero.com/dress.aspx?keywordText=catari&keywordType=any&page=0&pageSize=15&style=R1071 can't wait for it to arrive, around April!

Love them, thanks for sharing

Are you able to go see her. the florist I am using is about 1.5 hours away from where I live. FI made a day of it and went and visited with the florist to see what the flowers were like and to see some of her work.? I do agree with schmizer contact her and explain what you were looking for I am sure she would be more than willing to accomodate you.

ugh I so need to do this, I should of sealed the grout when we moved in but of course I put it off, And there is alot of it, Starts at front door goes right thru to the kitchen, is in the laundry room and the powder room, going to take me many weekends to clean it. I am thinking of making this my winter project and then you can be sure I will be coating it afterwards. I really think this is something that the builder should do as soon as the ceramic is finished. I am so mad at myself! I had white grout years ago and I use to clean it with a toothbrush and diluted javex! Not sure what I am going to use this time

welcome and congratulations. I am getting married at Couples Sans Souci in Ocho Rios, but its expensive. Just search the forums and you will come up with tons of information. Have fun planning

what a nice story and beautiful pictures

everything looks good have a great wedding

OMG that is horrible, have you tried contacting the embassy either in the US or maybe there is one in the Dominican. Thats all I can think of. Good Luck and congrats on expecting a baby boy!

I have bought sand to match my wedding colours. I do plan on taking a very small amount for the the first layer. But I am pretty sure you are not allowed to bring sand home from the beach!

good job!

You don't need that kinda of stress, and must be so relieved that they are not coming. Have a great wedding and vacation and enjoy all those that will be there!

love your colour choices

Danielle - beautiful dress! You looked gorgeous!

wow you did a really good job, have a great wedding

good job, have a great wedding

great review of Marcia! thanks for posting

hooray! going to check it out right now.

very beautiful love the beading

thanks for sharing, beautiful pictures!

eholt - yes I have thought of that we had planned on doing it at Dunns Rivers Falls, but then changed our minds. Regardless she would have to stay somewhere overnite. I am going to email her later today.

amester1974 - I love your dress the back is so beach like. You look gorgeous!

Heaterfan15 - There are not many brides on here that have got married at Couples. I just checked Marcia site but your pics are not up. She does such great work. There are 12 of us going so far, I don't expect many more to book. I got an amazing deal thru AirCanadaVacations. for a group rate. I am going to email Marcia today so I can finalize my day. I was really hoping to have her come back the next day for TTD but Debbie says that the charge for that is full day pass, so now its not 500.00 for the vendors fee but 700.00 plus the cost of a hotel room somewhere for Marcia and her assistant. Way Way out of budget for me. I guess I am going to have to do some thinking about the events of the day. We are getting married at 10 a.m. cocktail hour after that and I am in the process of renting a catamaran (CSS does not offer the free one the other couples have) for the afternoon. So somewhere I know have to figure out when to do the TTD? I want to fully enjoy my cocktail hour since I am spending the money on horsdouvers, and a steel drum band. thanks for the heads up on Marcia not being able to book 1 nite either.

Oh no that is not good. I have been waiting for her reply about booking 1 room. So that makes sense why I have not heard from her. What time was your ceremony? I am getting married at CSS in July. did you do a TTD session with her as well.
