Pushups are definitely my weakness. I will try this challenge to improve my reps. Thanks for sharing!

You did an outstanding job!! I love everything, especially the Welcome Book! Could you send the template to me as well? I will PM you. Thanks!

Hi Ladies, I found a blog with lots of pics of weddings all around Jamaica. Enjoy! Jamaica Focused Blogs | Weddings in Jamaica

Hi Kates2425, We booked the whole villa and the *deal* we got was related to the stay. Normally, MDV has a 4 night minimum night stay. They allowed us a 3 night minimum for all guests. Good Luck!

My appointment is supposed to be this Saturday with someone in Maryland for my 1st fitting. I scheduled it about 6 months ago when I found them on Yelp and The Knot. They have rave reviews. Fast forward to today, I just called to confirm my appointment and the phone number is no longer in service!! Disconnected! Does anyone have any referrals for someone in the MD/DC/VA area that does alterations? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome Lauren J and Congrats!!

Like gbyrd, we are using Floral Fantasies too. Ours came close to $500 for flowers as we are only expecting 20-30 people.

Thanks so much Malisa! I will definitely inquire about the micodermabrasion treatment.

Hello ladies, My skin/face is looking rather dull and flaky this time of year. I have been considering getting a chemical peel done professionally in the next month or so. If it goes well, I would get a couple weeks prior to my wedding in May. Has anyone had experience with this type of facial treatment? If so, what type of peel have you had?

Holly, Thank you so very much. I received my order yesterday and I am very pleased. Thanks again for organizing all of this. You are the best!

Neha, your pictures are just stunning! You look gorgeous and the photography is one of the best I have seen. Very beautiful. Congrats!

Don't feel bad at all! I am just happy you are organizing this purchase for us. Many thanks!

LaceyLace, I am typing this from the Crystal Dawn villas at Moon Dance Cliffs. And, I must tell you that this place is wonderful! It is just gorgeous. My wedding is at Moon Dance Villas and we are here for a site visit but we are staying at the Cliffs during the site visit. You will have a gorgeous wedding I am sure. The staff here is just wonderful. Each villa has a butler and ours (Ken) is on the patio now setting up for our dinner this evening. Also, the view from the gazebo is spectacular. I am so sorry we are leaving tomorrow morning because it has been a pleasure staying at MDC.

I have been sending emails to [email protected] instead of [email protected]. I will send again. Thanks.

Hello, Are the petals still available?

aprilmay, that is an excellent point about freebies and upgrades! I don't feel prepared either. I think the book that jdrewett mentioned will be very helpful though. I really just want to getaway and we are really looking forward to it and plan to take lots of pics!!

Jessica thanks so much!! I will check the book out. Thanks again

Hey Ladies, I am visiting my wedding site in a few weeks and was wondering if there is a list of site visit questions available on this forum? We will be meeting with our coordinator and just want to make sure all bases are covered. I have a list but of course it seems like I am missing something. Are there any questions you would ask?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I forgot his name but it's the one the resort recommends. They said he's the best in the area but that wasn't the case for my guests. I understand the weather is very humid there and if you have hair that gets affected by it, the moister will cause it to lose the style it has been set into…..but…not before you go outside. Five of my guests got their hair done and by the time he was finished, the style didn’t look right at all. Thankfully, they brought their curling irons so they had to go back and fix it again. Although I didn’t have high expectations, somehow mine turned out to be beautiful (until the humidity got to it). And my makeup was also good. But, I’ve done hair modeling for salons & magazines and I've seen my hair at its best...and his work didn't come anywhere close to that. Don't get me wrong, he's extremely nice, polite and has a positive attitude but I don't recommend his work. ***You mentioned you paid extra for the rehearsal dinner at MDC, was this the non-all inclusive package? We didn’t do all-inclusive and because we stayed at MDV, we had to pay an extra $30 per person for the rehearsal dinner at MDC. If you’re staying at MDV, I highly recommend not doing AI. You’ll save so much. We stayed for five days and our overall cost was only $4,000. This covered everything for 20 guests staying onsite including the recommeded10% tip for both of the 5 bedroom villas, some liquor, the wedding reception dinner for 33 guests as well as the good buy barbeque for about 25 guests. If we had done AI, the cost would’ve been $125 x 5 days x 20 people = $12,500 and it doesn’t even cover your outside guests for the reception diner and the good buy barbeque (if you’re having one). We tried not to use their liquor though. We brought some with us and also went out and bought some from the nearby supermarket. But overall, we saved about $8,500 by not doing AI. Thanks so much rydm!

Love them StephiePoo! Great job!!
