I have been with my FI since I was 16 (HS Sweetharts) and everyone keeps telling me, it's about dam time...lol. Congratulations!!!
-
My piece advice is that it is your day and your way, lol! Getting married on a beach throws all formalities out the door and why most of us BDW brides/soon-be brides like you and I choose beach weddings.
-
Congratulations and Welcome to the forum! My thing when I was considering locations was the trip duration. Punta Cana from Florida should be a breeze in flying time. I would consider that if I'm flying my whole family down. Once you start looking at the different resorts, you'll start seeing the differences and will know exactly what you want.

Welcome to the forum! If your group consists of all adults, I find that adults only resorts seems to be more intimate and also very nice. There are great ones in Mexico, DR and Jamaica. Sandals/Breezes resorts is King in Jamaica.
-
Congratulations and Welcome to the forum! There is a Dreams Resort in Punta Cana, DR as well. I felt that their wedding packages were reasonable when I was researching online. But like others said, depends what you are looking for.

In my opinion, the lace is eye catching and unique compared to the silk one. But I'm not sure what you are going for.

Hello and congrats! I live in NY too and was fortunate enough to have gone to Bermuda in July and found it to be one of my most favorite islands. Although I did not decide to have my DW there because I was looking for an all inclusive to suit my family and friends, our wish was to have it there. The flight duration from NY is about 1hr and a half which is great. Bermuda is super romantic and has the most strikingly beautiful blue water. You can't rent a car in Bermuda so it's either you cab, bus or moped it. Mopeding it with my FI exploring the island was the best. I stayed on the West End of the island which is very layed back and I feel less touristy. I stayed at 9Beaches Resort which has cabana's in the water is an Eco Friendly resort. It was kind of roughing it but I wanted a different experience. I also visitied Cambridge Beaches for dinner and Fairmont Princess in Southhampton for a massage both very nice resorts. The only thing I have to say that's a little bit negative about Bermuda is that it is kind of expensive.

Congratulations and great choice on resorts. I'm from NY also so when I was researching destinations and all inclusives, was in debating over Bahamas and Cancun. I loved the Sandals in the Bahamas but it didn't allow children so I went with Dreams in Cancun. You will have an awesome time.
-
Welcome to the forum. Congrats on your choice, Mexico is a great place and has something for everyone.
-
Welcome to the forum. I have been to both places and I personally liked Cancun because it has a great nightlife and more family friendly resorts, activities and mayan culture.

I have a similar ring with the same problem about wanting it to be flushed. The jeweler said that he would have to make a curved ring for me . Here are some of my ideas when we go make it.
I was also thinking of this one but may not work.

Congrats! I just came back from the riu palace this weekend and have to say how much fun I had. The resort was uncrowded due to the hurricane season which was a nice surprise. All of the hotel staff was gracious and the resort is super clean. They clean your room in the afternoon and then have turn down service. One night we stayed in and ordered room service because it was raining and the maid knocked on the door and made sure we were OK and needed anything. Hotel transfers aren't included unless you book through a travel agent. I booked mine through Clives Transportation and it was only $20.00/pp. I did see a very intimate wedding of 4 including the bride and groom and got married on the beach. I have to say the sunsets are as amazing as people describe.

Hi All,
I just came back from Jamaica. I went there for the weekend I had a great time.
I'm ready to put the wheels in motion for Cancun. I'm off to a late start as well.

This question goes to out to all past brides whose had Live Music at their ceremony. Can you tell me about your experience? What type of musician did you use? Was it worth it? Who did you use? From what I see that most of the musicans are local it's difficult to hear a sample of what they play.
I'm planning a wedding in Dreams Cancun and if anyone has experience with their live music options, I am grateful to for your input.
I hope this helps all brides considering Live Music at their ceremony.
Thanks in advance for helping this newbie out.
-
LOL, thanks for the tip. I'll definitely remember that.

Thanks for your review. I appreciate all the pics especially of your reception. I am also planning a similar set up on Carribean beach reception/cocktail hour. Is that where you had yours? I did give up on getting an outside photographer because we wanted a few other things like a lounge set and live music for the ceremony (FI's request not mine). Plus, Cecilia is charging $100 fee for outside photographers and videographers.
Hello
