I am a newbie here - I started searching for help when I knew things were going wrong with our planning and stumbled across this great forum. Well, now here we are, the end of May. We had a Wedding date of October 10th. We signed up with a travel agent/dw specialist in March who assured me we had plenty of time to plan an October wedding in the USVI. Then she came back with prices and we realized we couldn't afford that. 2nd choice, Jamaica. She brought us resorts & prices to choose from... we thought about it a bit. Our date wasn't available. We had to choose a new one. We made a decision. She went on vacation. Then she came back and sent "updated" price quotes. Huh? Then we made a "final" decision based on these "new" prices. Come to find out that the prices she quoted us "per couple" were actually PER PERSON. This doubled the cost to our families and friends. No go. Now it is less than 5 months from our chosen date...no STD's sent, no resort booked, nothing finalized. I am freaking out. Needless to say I fired her. Now I am starting to work with someone else who says I have ENOUGH TIME if we make some decisions quickly.
What do you think? I don't want to postpone. But I also want our friends and family to have enough time to plan to join us if they want to. Less than 5 months... is that enough time?
I want to scream, cry and throw things...
Thanks for reading this...
