When I got home from work and I still hadnt heard anything, so i called and left her a message. The only thing that is freaking me out is that in her last email on May 5 she wrote that the 2010 dates were already booking fast...so now I'm nervous that I'm not going to get the day/time that i want. Because I'm a guidance counselor I only have the summer months to choose from, however, this is my FI busiest time with his business, so we need to make accomodations asap.

What a cute find...thanks for sharing

I know and I'm trying not to but my guests are asking for information that I can not give them yet and I feel bad. I just need to breath..lol Thanks

Congratulations to you all. I'm also a 2010 bride and I'm shooting for July 24, 2010 but I'm waiting for the Romance Manager at the Paradisus to get back to me so that I can book the date. This is so frustrating bc its not like I can just drive there, so I'm at the mercy of everyone getting back to me when they can...uugghh So many pple want info and I can't give them anything yet and I would really like to send out my STD's by next month, so that all of my guests have exactly one year to make arrangements.. I'm so glad this thread was started bc I don't know anyone who is having or has had a destination wedding and it helps knowing im not alone

Cowboy and princess

I am so frustrated with the Romance Manager for the Paradisus Punta Cana!!! When I first got engaged my FI did not want to talk about any wedding plans...he wanted to just enjoy the engagement and I was so upset because I wanted to jump right in Well 6 weeks after he proposed he asked me what Island I wanted to get married at...completely out of nowhere. So I immediately said Dominican Republic, Punta Cana, so he said okay lets start looking into hotels. After doing some research, I narrowed it down to the Excellence and the Paradisus, but bc the Excellence is adult only I went with the Paradisus. So I went online and filled out the mini app so that someone would get back to me and she did! Teresa is Romance Manager of North America for the Paradisus contacted me and was so thorough with her emails that I was extremely pleased and wanted to move forward but I still had some questions. So I asked her to call me, she emailed me back and stated that she was leaving to DR to help with the additional brides that they had to relocated from their Mexico locations bc of the swine flu and that she would get back to me on May 19 which was right after her return. I completely understood the circumstances and waited anxiously for her 12 day trip to be over so that I can move forward with my wedding plans. Mind you that in her last email she told me that the 2010 dates were booking fast!!!!!!!! uuggh the anxiety. So I called her on May 19 and left a message for her to call me and I know its only two days later but I haven't recieved a phone call or an email. I know that she must be behind bc she was out of the office for 12 days but I really need to speak to someone or im going to explode...I really want to send out my STD's by next month so that all of my guests have exactly one year notice and I want to book my photographer who is also extremely popular (photosouvenir) and I'm afraid of loosing the date....UUUGGHHH. I know that I might sound irrational bc its only been two days but after reading other threads on here and reading about how people received a response either that same day or the next makes me question choosing the paradisus. Sorry for this extremely long venting session, but I had to get it out!!!!!!!!

Just drag it into that folder. Note that windows won't let you take the .ttf file straight from the zip, you have to put it somewhere else first. Good luck! Got it...Thanks

Let me know if you have any questions on installing fonts. When you download the font that you want where do you save it to?
