Wow, you guys have some really interesting jobs. I'm a socio-economic researcher. Although I have been unemployed for over three months due to budget cuts. As boring as it sounds and was some days I actually miss it! My FI is a system network engineer AKA computer nerd.

We are planning on going along with three other couples.

Welcome!

They look great and such a steal!

Yes. We went to FI's brother's wedding in Jamaica. We were just invited to a destination wedding in Zimbabwe. The couple met working together in Zimbabwe but are from Houston, TX (her) and Paris, France (him). Since they started dating and spent 98% of their relationship in Zimbabwe they have decided to marry there. Although they were just transfered to France recently for work. Should be really interesting! I'm excited to be a guest and visit Zimbabwe.

I haven't voted yet but I plan to early this evening. I have never voted in this state as I was previously registered in FL. I was talking to my mom last night who said she has never in her life voted! She is 56 years old! I couldn't believe it. She is not a US citizen although she has lived here legally since she was 20. She is a British citizen. I guess back them you had to be 21 to vote in the UK. She doesn't want to become a US citizen so I guess she'll never vote.

I think you could do many different things with it depending on what you wanted the final product to look like. You could have them printed on cardstock with the wedding information directly on top of the image. You could make the image the front of a postcard or even a folded card. If you wanted to do magnets you could print the image on a magnet and type the information over the image again. You could have the image printed on cardstock and use a vellum over it with the information. This would allow the image to come through the vellum while not distorting your information or the image and such. I think the possibilities are numerous depending on how creative you want to get.

I'm also a 2010 bride! Hopefully July 31, 2010. Like so many of you, we can't confirm the date as of yet since its too early. So far I have a guest list together. We have booked a photographer who will be traveling down with us. I hope to confirm our date in early January to be able to make STDs shortly after and get them out!

Welcome! My name is also Belle and I'm a planning a 2010 wedding too! I'm new too! The Ice Hotel is amazing. I've always wanted to stay there. It would make for a beautiful wedding even if its only open three months out of the year. Happy planning!

Thanks for your reply. I did visit the SKB ministry of tourism site that you shared, however it does not indicate how long the process takes for those who need to apply for a visa; which is why I feel we should give guests more than 12 months to take care of it. I figured everyone won't be as "wedding happy" as we are. Meaning they won't be running to send off for a visa ASAP. I was thinking giving people extra time would allow them to take care of it in a timely yet relaxed fashion. Maybe I'm just dreaming and those who beef it be procastinate until the very last minute.

I'm new myself but... Congratulations and welcome.

That's really cute and unique.

Im a July 2010 bride too! Not in Jamaica though. Welcome.

Welcome and happy planning.

Welcome Seth!

To me it is a location more than one hour one, by car, from where you reside. Example, living in Tampa,FL and having a wedding in Muami, FL.

It took us 7 months to decide! Mostly because we need to find a location that would be conciniwnt for most I'd nor all of our guests since they are traveling from so many different countries. At first I really wanted PR as I am from there and since my father is no longer living I thought having it there would make me feel as if he was with us in some way. That didint work as many of our guests are monolingual and don't speak enough English let alone Spanish to be able to go out anywhere on their own. We finally agreed on Nevis as it will be a new destination for both of us but also because it's easiest in so many ways for our global guests.

I need advice, please! About 50% of our guests will need to obtain a visa to enter Nevis and attend our wedding. (We have guests coming from 4 different continents.) I have no clue how long it takes to obtain a visa for entry into St. Kitts and Nevis. Because of this we want to allow our guests sufficient time to get this. That being said, how far in advance should we send out Save the dates? I was thinking of sending them out early next year giving guests 19 months to obtain visas mainly but also to get their acts together to be a part of our wedding. My mom thinks this is too much time. Is it?

How about using a picture of old San Juan streets showing the colorful, old doors and cobblestone streets? You should be able to find some pictures doing a google search. If not let me know. I have personal photos of such which I could post for your use.

Thanks all for the warm welcome!

Hi girls! I'm new and so very excited to be planning our destination wedding. My name is Belle. We are getting married July 31, 2010 at Nisbet Plantation Beach Club in Nevis.
