I just got married in Key West this past August and the day before our ceremony all of our guests went on the Fury rum & reggae sunset cruise. I personally would not recommend this as a reception site because if you plan on having drinks your guests will have to be EXTRA careful when going to the bathroom. There is a ladder that you have to climb down backwards to get to it and if you are over 5'6" you basically have to bend backwards to maneuver around. Now the cruise, staff and drinks were fantastic....but for a reception site, not so much.

Congrats jackie_c......best wishes !!!

CONGRATS to kwaits !!! I hope your wedding was wonderful . I will be leaving for Key West on the 18th...so 8 more days till we leave and 10 more day till "I DO".

We leave 3 weeks from today...wow this went by fast. I am finally getting excited. I have washed my hands of my unfinished DIY projects and have committed myself to making sure that I dont forget the most important things (i.e. passport, birth certificate) LOL. I cant wait.

I am doing a bottle of water, granola bar (everyone loves granola, LOL), and tic tacs.

Congrats on you Key West wedding.... I chose Conch Republic Seafood as my reception site because the food is great and the sunsets on the marina are breath taking. They also have awesome mojitos ; ). Graff and Jennifer are great to work with and are very flexible.

I haven't been stressed about anything so far which is wonderful. It turns out that Key west is even better than I imagined!! We decided to get married on Smather's beach (I think at entrance 10) and then have our reception dinner at Louie's Backyard. We will have the whole upstairs wine bar to ourselves. :-) My wedding planner is Cathy from THe HIp Tourist. I met with her while I was there and she is wonderful! Does everything you can possibly imagine. I am sending her all of my welcome bag items and she is going to put them together and deliver them to the hotel rooms before the guests arrive. So great! Im getting more and more excited by the day!! Are you getting your marriage license through the mail or just waiting until you get there?

LOL...is it just me or are you all starting to get that feeling in your stomach like you're going up a roller coaster as each week passes.

Whoo hoo...Congrats Ann. Welcome to the forum (family).

There is an awesome website, dwlz.com, that provides the point value for most restaurant menus, which is great when you're in a hurry or the restaurant doesnt provide a nutritional facts sheet.

I'm too much of a smart ass for people to say that to me. I would tell them to be rest assured that you are providing brass knuckles and a hand grenade in all of the oot bags for their comfort and security.

We went last August and we flew into Miami. I have to agree with how breath taking the drive down will be.

From the research that I have done for our honeymoon, Iberostar Rose Hall seems to have excellent reviews for their weddings.

Am I just a big weirdo or does anyone else get butterflies in their stomach whenever another brides posts comments like "we have a few hours till we leave" or "tomorrow is the our departure date". I can only imagine how I will be when I have "hours" to go and I feel myself getting so excited for other brides. So for everyone who reads this just know that I am just as nervous/excited/anxious as you are and I wish you all the best...

Whoo hoo...invites are going out tomorrow although so many people have already RSVP'd on our website I almost dont see a point. Next project...finishing OOT bags. My best friend works for an airline so she is going to ship 50 lbs. of my stuff to Key West for free and the rest my mom is driving with. My parents are paying off the reception this friday so to get confirmation on that makes me really excited. Now if I can just lose 15 more pounds....I am getting really desperate here and I know that stress is a major factor..AAARRRGGGHHHHH !!! @ Sax Lady...you are so lucky to have an inside track. I have been to Jamaica a few times before and one of my good friends is the GM for Margaritaville Caribbean so he has taken me all over the island. My FI has never been so this will be an extra special treat for him. LOL....sometimes I think I am looking forward to the honeymoon more than anything else.

I booked Duane "Bongo D" Scott in Key West and I believe that he travels throughout the Keys.

It seems aug isnt as popular as some of the other months even for a DW. I dont think that August is popular at all which makes us even more special... . I see you're getting married in Trelawny, we are honeymooning in MoBay starting on the 22nd either at Iberostar Grand or Secrets Wild Orchid.

I found my dress on lightinthebox.com for $139.99. The dress has darker spots on it because it was raining during the Golden Globes.. : )Wish me luck..LOL

We are going to honeymoon there from August 22nd - 27th at either Iberostar Grand or Secrets wild Orchid.

Just to give you a tip if you decide to tackle this DIY project....use double sided sticky tape on the inside of the roll - this will keep your ribbon in place as you wrap it around. After wrapping, I used a pin sized drop of super glue to attach the end of the ribbon to the inside of the roll and also behind the palm tree charm to keep it from dropping down.

Question Ladies...I want to order my bridesmaids dresses from lightinthebox.com but I wanted to know if anybody has ordered a plus size dress from them. My sister is a size 22 and I dont want her to feel bad or awkward if everyone can fit their dresses and she cant. So do you know if they big/small or true to (plus)size.
