I have not stayed at either of those places. I did however stay at the Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro, which is right next door to the Majestic.

My husband and I took a walk over and snuck in to see what it looked like. Its very nice, very modern feel to it. Our friends have stayed there and they said they enjoyed it. Althou one of them got pretty sick there. But that can happen with anywhere in domincan.

The Gran Bahia Principe is where I got married this past July. It was perfect. My husband and I stayed there 2 yrs prior for vacation and wanted to play it safe for the wedding. So we went back there. We love the Bahia. Great food, lots to do, and our wedding turned out perfect.

I know I probably wasnt much help......but my friends enjoyed Majestic.

No I am not, I actually didnt keep my dress, it was pretty rough after the wedding and TTD session.

I did not save mine after the session. It got reall dirty the night of the wedding, and i always knew i didnt want to drag my dress home. It smelt real bad to from sweating so much in it. lol

as for the strap. I had my alterations lady stich it onto the dress so it wouldnt pop off. but before that mine did the samething.

I wore my real dress for the Trash the Dress session.

Here are a few of my pics.

I didnt end up keeping my dress as it was real dirty and smelt super bad lol. But I cut off some items of the dress and did a shadow box.

I was married back in July and when i got my dress i didnt get a cert.

But for all you maggie brides make sure to post your dress on their site! so fun.

I'm a Maggie Bride )

I looked all over the scrapbooking section. they have others, but nothing exactly the same. but I think the blue ones from etsy will be a good substitute. thanks again for writing! 

 

its a cute song, but its about eloping in vegas and then breaking up the next day if u want too.......

just wanted to try again to see if anyone knew where to find them. thank you so much.

 

I actually got married in July. Here is a pick of my wedding band. I had it custom made, diamonds and pink diamonds.

Ashley1316:  We do have very similar rings.  I love mines as well.  Have you decided on a wedding band yet? 

Your ring is VERY similar to mine. I love it.
