Guten Tag, Susanne - Your English is much better than my German.....hehe Although I don't have pictures of Samana, since I'm in Cabarete, I know it is very beautiful there. We wish you all the best with your wedding there......you are sure to have a wonderful time and place! All the best from Lynda (my husband calls me "liebchen" haha)

Hola Sandinmytoes - I so luv your name! I was saying the exact same thing when planning our 30th anniversary in Cabarete, D.R. Top o the list was to get some sand in my toes! and we did. FUN! All the best with deciding on your resort. There are some beautiful and well-priced options here. Any one would make an extraordinary backdrop to your big day - Enjoy!

Hey ShelbyFL - welcome aboard - you've come to the right place. Just to add another possibility to your crowded "what-ifs".....the DR is also beautiful and very affordable. Would be happy to help in any way we can......best of luck with everything!

Hi Chelle n fiance......I think you're off to a good start with date input and checking in at this forum. Lots of help n support at your fingertips here. Best of luck with planning the memorable start of your new life together.......

The DR is an island of great diversity, and pretty much has something for everyone. You just have to find it. The north shore at Cabarete is a viable, affordable option to Punta Cana. It's rich in culture + offers many options....all-inclusive or self-catering. I'd be happy to answer your questions, or help in any way I can. Wishing you all the best, and as smooth a transition as possible.

I know you're facing LOTs of decisions that need to be made quickly. There are some excellent suggestions already put forward above, and I'd like to throw in my "vote" for the DR. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have, or help in any way I can, if that's the destination you choose. Best of luck with everything....remember to get enough sleep (or as much as possible) to help deal with it all. works miracles for me.

What a wonderful place to find such great support at the perfectly right time that you can really use it.......well done, all. You DR brides sound as great as the locals in the country hosting your weddings......pretty good "match", I'd say.

Congratulations Mosart......lots of ideas available in this forum, as well as help when you're stuck or need some support. Best of luck with the myriad of decisions you're facing.....exciting, fun and life-changing.....remember the "having FUN" part.
