I am having the hardest time deciding what to walk down the aisle to!! I am going to have a steel drum band play the song. The girls are going to walk down to 'One Love' by Bob Marley - I know its be done a thousand times but I love it. I want something reggae-ish too but have no clue! Any suggestions?

So Lulu the mexican restaurant is on the Iberostar property? The suites property? or off resort? Quote: Originally Posted by lmuze Hi, The resort videographer did take a "true" video. They attached a mike on my husband (then Fiance) and the minister so when everything is heard clearly (even the wind) and the video quality is pretty good, after the ceremony/picture session the videographer asked us to do some poses and those are the ones i had issues with (not the quality, just the corniness of the posing). It's not such a big deal though, a friend of mine will edit the beginning out and it will be perfect. The Mexican restaurant as I said is open between 11pm - 7am, they don't serve alcohol drinks, we sneaked drinks from the club before they closed...another thing i liked about this resort, you can take your drinks anywhere, for instance, their room service does not include alcoholic beverages but you can go to the bar and get as many drinks as you can carry back to your room and it's all good...anyway, back to the Mexican restaurant, they have a salad & fixing bar and someone who mans a grill with assortment of meats for burgers, hot dogs, grilled meats (beef & chicken). We went there twice, the day of the wedding and once after we returned from Margaritaville Night Club in downtown MoBay, so both times we were amply buzzed, it may not be as good as we thought. We had so much fun though. Don't miss a trip to Margaritaville if you are a night owl. There is a free hourly shuttle to the club from 11pm - 1am andreturn trip from 1am - 2:30am. http://www.margaritavillecaribbean.com/montegobay.html. Quote: Princess J - I am having a rehersal dinner at the Cajun Restaurant, but no welcome dinner. I'm doing a group outing one night and just didn't want to overload their vacation with my stuff - I want them to use their vacation as they like and keep the 'wedding' stuff to a minimum.

Ya they sell the non- zip ones everywhere, but I had a heck of a time finding the zip ones in Canada! Which of course you need so your money doesn't fall out into the pool/ocean!

Hi Ladies! Just wanted to share a source I found for those zip-up badge holders you attach to wrist coils for tip money/room keys. https://www.acklandsgrainger.com/AGIPortalWeb/WebSource/ProductDisplay/globalProductDetailDisplay.do?item_code=IDM1815-1110 They are close in price to the American websites and they have a lot of retail locations. I am driving to pick mine up tomorrow - so no shipping costs! and they sell them in whatever quantity you want.

Good work on all your DIY projects! Wonderful thread! Congrats!

lmuze, Just read your review. It was great! Few questions for ya: The resort videographer - was this a 'true' video, as in footage of your ceremony with sound, etc or just a slide show of photos from your ceremony? Please give us more deets on this mexican restaurant! Sounds fun! oh and I don't think you went overboard on decor at all, it looked gorgeous Congrats!

Thanks for letting me know how much they were. I knew they'd be costly. I also already knew about the nice 'wicker' chairs at the steakhouse (I'm getting married at the 'beach' resort but they have the same chairs at their steak house) and I do plan on using them, thought the low back them might be an issue with my chair swags... we'll see!!

OMG, just saw your honeymoon post... wahhhh!! I wanna come! hahaha have a blast!!!

OMG!! Wowee zowee! love your planning thread! You went wild!! LOL Love all the etsy stuff,and your resort looks gorgeous. I like the doilie-looking petal throwers btw, very nice Congrats Girl!!

Glad to see you back and feeling better!! Your photos are gorgeous, great job on all the details! Im super jelly of your chivari chairs. I think you answered your own question! They are both beautiful, with nicer rooms at the suites and more restaurant selection (because you can eat at the beach's restaurants) but the suites is more pricey than the beach. I myself chose the Beach simply for the cost to my guests. Either way you'll be happy!!

Everything looks great!! Prototype ring? That is the coolest idea I've heard of!! Congrats!

What a fantastic review Jenn! thanks so much for posting. I cannot wait to see your pictures!!!

Very nice! Thanks for posting!!

We are doing the steel drum band for the ceremony, so that makes it a bit easier, but I still have to pick what song(s) I want them to play... Songs for reception are pretty easy, just pick my favs from my Ipod playlist! We have 26 guests and we'll be married on the beach How bout you?

Congrats! Great job on those bags you hand painted!!

hahaha Bonnie... way to trash a silk Prada dress for your e-shoot. classic I spent hours cleaning my favourite Jimmy Choos that got covered in mud from mine.

Ginger your dress is beautiful and looks super hot on you!! Congrats!

thanks chong! I think I'm going to buy the white LEDs since my lanterns are coloured.

Wendy your review was great!! Thanks for all the great tips. So happy your wedding went well and its sounds like you guys had a lot of fun. Congrats girl!!

Quote:Originally Posted by jeanward Hello. You are getting married on my son's birthday! I just had the same experience you did. I got engaged in August, and my younger sister just got engaged a couple days ago. She hasn't made any plans yet, so I don't know if they are going to get married before me or not. I had the same first thought that you did, "I wish they would have waited until I was married so they didn't steal my thunder". Then I thought about it some more and figured her fiance probably had this planned before we got engaged. It takes some time to save up for a ring and pick one out. I am going to pick out all the positives and ignore my first selfish thoughts. They have been together the same amount of time as me and my fiance, it is time for them too. I want her to feel that I am 100% happy for her, because I am and she deserves it. Don't you hate selfish thoughts...no matter how fleeting?? Hi jean! Congrats on your engagement!! Sounds like you situation is very similar to mine! My best advice is to be totally honest with your sister. If she wants to do anything that makes you uncomfortable, just say so. It's not selfish, every girl deserves to have her time in the spotlight and you will both really enjoy it if you do it the right way... Allowing plenty of time between weddings. It may suck for her having to wait a couple a years, but she will realize its better that way in the end. Best of luck to both of you and let us know how it goes!!

What size of LED bulbs did you buy from buy-leds-online.com? Its very late and that site is confusing me... lol.
