I'm leaving in 7 days for Punta Cana and found a wonderful photographer with the help of BDW forums.

Punta Cana Destination wedding photography

So far they have been wonderful to work with and have answered all my questions immediatly. I'm really looking forward to working with them and after viewing their site and seeing their work they have done...I picked them hands down!

ONLY 7 MORE DAYS TILL WE LEAVE AND 9 MORE DAYS TILL WERE MARRIED:)

I did buy a second dress to trash. i got mine at Davids Bridal for $99.00. It's really nice and light weight. The only thing is I'm short so I got it hemmed and that was it. Totally know what you mean about wanting not destroy a fantastic gown.

I went cheap but nice:)

I know...officailly 2 weeks till our wedding at Bavaro Princess:) I finally picked up my dress yesterday and brought it home! Finally...only like the 6th time I've been there.

Everything has come together so smooth. I get my hair done this Saturday and the only thing left for me to do is pack and pick out a hair do for the big day:)

I know what everyone means when they say the tome just flew by...it totally did!

I go so many ideas from everyone on this site and a lot of questions answered.. I really appreciate all the kind words of encouragment and good information:)

I've booked them for my wedding in 3 weeks and I can't be more excited to work with them. I've also booked the TTD session...really going to be work it!

I'm actually going there in 3 weeks!! I heard the weather is wonderful!

We are getting married at the Bavaro Princess as were were at their other location in Riviara Mya Mexico 2 yrs ago and loved it. Although I was first sold on Dream (Beautiful) and also the RIU. Both were beautiful but the overall cost was a little pricier than what we had in mind for our guests.

All-in-all I believe it will be wonderful:)

We have booked with them too...and I must say I'm really excited!! I was unable to do the package we really wanted due to tight budget restrictions but knowing the work that all of the brides on here has recommended her we Knew they were a MUST HAVE! We ended up going with the Coverage Only and the the TTD session the next day. I even found a steal of a deal on a seperate wedding dress form Davids Bridal for the seperate session...I'm so thrilled to be so fortunate to have gotten such a reputable person to have take our memories!!! :):)

Were planning our wedding there for Febuary 2 2010. Everything is coming together nice and we can't wait.

So far 18 people booked!!

I LOVE THE DRESS!!! It is so nice - hands down beautiful! I think it would be fantastic on and flattering. I like the bust line along with the low cut of the back. Very sophisticated and fun at the same time.

Well, we have finally made a decision and booked our date: 2/2/10

So Excited!

The Photographer is also booked - thanks to all your awsome suggestions and recommendations we decided to go tieh Photo Souveniers - Severine. I love the Trash the Dress session and am actually going to buy a lesser expensive dress for this (Is that what most do?) I just spent a lot of money on my dress and don't want to totally ruine it. Let me know that you think...

I do have a question about the marriage translation though. I'm sending in all the documentation to (WEDO .:: Taking care of your legal documentation for your Dominican weddings) to have them do the translation of our docs but after we are married and get the marriage lisc in the mail will that have to be translated in the US in order for it to be legal? Will is come in Spanish from DR?

Either way...I'm pumped.

Still working on the information packets...what a lot of work. Oh well making headway!

No Way!! WTF...I can't believe that. One would seriously think that at the least you would get nothing short of simple service is you traveled all that way... Unbelievable. I would be PO'd too.

Me and my fience are planning our wedding there too...YAAAHOO!!

Although i've been emailing the coordinator for a few days with no responce. I'm getting nervous.

I'm trying to finalize the prices along with the additional money for the wedding packages and the room rates...a lot to do with time runnign out:)

I'm so exited and I think I'll actually enjoy it when I get some firm prices. I'll feel much better.

We got engaged at the Grand Princess resort in Maya Riviara in November. The resort was beautiful and fantastic.

Thank you...I'm sure it will come in handy:)

What a great job...I wish mine were going that good

you've given me hope:) I know it will feel good when I get a trial one I like...but for now, I'll keep on trying. Having issues with formatting now:0 I'm trying to figure it out...I think I'm just tired.

Love them!! Great style:)

What a great idea..."No Problem Man" I Love Jamaica:)

I was thinking about doing the exact same thing, just looking for the towels and i think I've already found the bags:) ...everything is a work in progress though.

Don't worry...you ar not alone!

I've been trying to plan since our engagement in Nov for our Feb 2010 wedding. only recently have th prices just come out and were in the final stages of narrowing.

The other are right...Pick a destination.

Second...spend countless amount of hours on BDW site to figure out the best resort and what to expect where your going.

Third...Go dress shopping:) Keep this fun...you are on your way to the rest of your life!

Everyone on here is a tremendous help and gives nice comments.

Fourth...Meet with a travel agent to discuss spacific arrangments and special needs.

Fifth...Pull together the little things. Packets, brochures, information for guests, ect...

Believe me I'm still stressing but I think half of the battle is just picking the destination and the resort:)

I know what your going through. I'm in the same boat

I meet again with the TA on Monday to discuss 2 destination and 4 resorts. For us it's too about the price and the accomidations. I'm struggling with this too... and I'm frustrated. Dreams is my first choice but not when it comes to price.

I guess I'll have to wait and see what they say on Monday..I'll keep ypu posted:)

Stay positive, and the others are right...It's your wedding and do what makes you(and you fience) happy:)

They look wonderful! What a great idea. I think I may send something like this out...I think it would stop everyone from calling and askin " are you still getting married"... Still waiting for package prices

Great Job...Congat's

Oh my gosh really!? I'll have to check out Sunquest and Sunwing...THANKS MARCIE and krayzeekitty!!

After I blogged yesterday I went to another TA, I was so jacked that the lady at my first pick never called me back and I just wan't happy I rushed up there and got really positive result. NO firm prices at this time still but at least I feel like they understood, shed some light onto different resorts and the qualities of each. They were really personal and overall fun.... Today I'm better....but still looking:)

Have a good Easter Everyone.

I'm a Feb 2010 Bride!! Getting antzy to start the process and for the prices to come out. Want to get this show on the road!! We are so exited and can't wait to tell everyone where were going:)

Needless to say it was romantic and I had no idea.

In November 2008 we went to Mexico, Maya Riviera. We went with my brother and sister in law for a much needed vacation. We me them there as they live in TN. We arrive and relax a little and meet up with my bro for a few cocktails before dinner reservations. As we walk to out second bar destination, we hear music start to play and we walk by this beautiful whater fountain with light. We are holding hands and he twearls me around and starts to dance to the music and when he pulls me in close he gets down on one knee and asks me to be his wife.....I SAID YES!!

Till this day he asks me if I had any idea and I knew something was off cause he was acting not normal. Like asking me not to have too many drinks and telling and stuff, but overall just off. He was just nervous and the ring was burning a hole in his pocket.

By far romantic and unexpected.

I think I need to find a new TA...I need to start figuring prices out for Febuary 2010 and I know that they are out there. Reducing stress in my life is a must but I'm starting to feel it now that everyone is wondering if were still getting married, as they havn't heard anything by now. I get those calls once a week from family members 'Just checking in' to make sure everything is OK and my responce is still the same...'Not yet, still waiting...'
