Wow, only a couple weeks away from your wedding! How exciting! The rings are all gorgeous! Very nice choices.

Rydm, thanks so very much for all of the invaluable information you have provided!! I really appreciate it. Another question, who did your hair and makeup? Were you pleased? You mentioned you paid extra for the rehearsal dinner at MDC, was this the non-all inclusive package? Thanks again!

Hi staceysbride, I know what you went through and it was NOT pretty. My hair was shoulder length befor I got micro braids this past July. I wanted to give my hair a 'break' for the summer and that is exactly what happened. It took me 2 1/2 days to take all the braids out in early September. I was exhausted when I finally got them out, put a hair cap on and went to bed. The next morning I decided I wanted to wash my hair. BIG MISTAKE! It became so matted that I called a salon that I had an appt for the next day and asked for advice. I was near tears because I thought I would have to get it cut off, it was so tangled! My sister came over with a detangler and worked a little at a time. The next day the hairdresser cut off 3 inches (she wanted to cut more). My hair is still in recovery and has not been the same. I will never get micros again. It's just not worth it! Good Luck and make sure you get plenty of deep conditioning and treatments to help your hair recover nicely.

jenjoe08 thank you! This is good to know. Can I ask how much did you pay for the bottles?

Hi Cali2010 and Rydm Rydm, Congratulations and welcome back!! It sounds like you had an AMAZING time. You have made me even more excited about my day next year. Who did you use for a cake baker? Did you do any off site excursions with your guests? Cali2010 I too am getting married at MDV in May and you asked some great questions.

Hello, I have an appointment in a few months with Estee. She is supposed to be very good and reasonably priced. Here are a couple reviews on Yelp: Estee Livioco - Gaithersburg, MD Good Luck!

That was incredibly fast!!! Wow! I am so happy you are pleased with them as well. I agree, the quality is really good!

That's a great idea Sheree10! I like that.

Congrats to you and your new hubby!!

Congratulations on your order!! You will not be disappointed. I received my goodies last Friday and am so happy I ordered them. I also added a couple beach towels because they were half off too! I am getting married at Moon Dance Villas in Negril and I noticed that our wedding dates are only a few days apart. May I ask who did your monogram? I really like it!

Hi Heather, Thanks so much! I did just that and made a wild guess. We won't know the final count until January 2010 so I took an educated guess. I ordered a few more than 20 just in case. I figure I can always sell the extras. Good Luck with your planning!!

I loove the idea of your welcome books! I agree, very well organized.

Thanks for the posting!

Thank you all so much!! This is just one way I can show our guests how much we appreciate them making the trek all the way to Jamaica.

Sorry so excited I forgot to post the price, $13 (reg. $26).

Since we are not having that many guests (maybe 20), I thought that we could give the guests a nice bag that they could use again and again. Our colors are orange and fuchsia. So, I was thrilled when I found this bag on Oprah's store site...on sale 50% off! Also, I am a big fan of hers. I have to admit that it is definitely a splurge but I really love this bag! http://oprahstore.oprah.com/images/P...ge/9140003.jpg

Hey All, Has anyone ever bought from the Clay Pot in Brooklyn for their wedding bands? Clay-Pot - CLAY POT WEDDING I am looking for unique bands and they seem to have a nice selection. If you know of any other jewelers please pass them along! Thanks

Great site! Thanks for sharing

Yes, if anyone knows about Jamaica, do tell. I am very curious as well.

That is a great idea! They are very cute

Congrats and welcome to the forum!!

Congrats and welcome to the forum!

WHAT?! Are you serious? I hired Misha for my wedding at MDV and I haven't heard from her (yet). I wonder what happened?

Wonderful review and Congrats!!

Hi Christy335 and gbyrd! I am getting married at MDV in May 2010 and have been working with (via email) Oneika. It would be great if we all could share information. Have either of you decided on vendors for cake or entertainment? I think either location, MDV or MDC, will be a great spot for a wedding. Congrats to you both!
