Thanks for this information. I will definitely check this out.

Oh shoot, we are just getting in on the 12th and I am planning to get everyone together that night as a meet and greet of the two families and give out the OOT bags. I don't think they'll appreciate it if take off the night I get there. Probably won't be available until after the 14th.

We do and I think we've pretty much got everyone booked who said they would be coming. We are at 40 people including us.

Congratulations Diva. I know isn't it exciting and seems so much more real once you purchase yoru tickets. Next thing you know we will be boarding our planes and on our way. Â

Can you believe we are under the 6 month mark now? Yikes, I've got to start workingon my table decorations and OOT bags. How is everyone else's planning?

What is everyone doing for table decorations? I need to start working on these this weekend as I don't want to purchase from the resort.

Getting my hair cut and coloured after work (I'm due)

I've never used as well and I went to place an order from an email I received that said free t-shirt but when I go through everything it's charging me for the t-shirt. Am I doing something wrong?

Ada is atill there until November, she is just off right now. I was told to continue to use the same email address and to also cc: [email protected] Â If it makes anyone feel better Yinette got back to my emails within the same day.

I emailed Ada to ask when she will be back and I received a response back from Yinette saying that she is replacing Ada and god willing (her words) Ada will be back in March. It seems that Ada may already be gone and I asked her to confirm this and if we use the same email address. Â I'll let everyone know when I hear back.

We leave Saturday, March 12th and it is also spring break here for the elementary schools so I guess I shouldn't have been so shocked. Just waiting for one last guest to book our last seat we have available.

Hi Ladies, Â I had previously mentioned I had joined a boot camp and we had our 4 week assessment last night. If you want to kick start your weight loss and get on track with fitness this is the way to go. in 4 weeks I've lost 8lbs, and various inches everywhere including 2 inches on my butt/hips and for a pear like me this is amazing. I've also become so much stronger and could not do 1 pushup 4 weeks ago and last night on our fitness test I did 11. Â I am also following their nutrition guidelines which is no white sugar, no white flour, no processed foods, no soda of any kind and the hardest of all no alcohol. We are allowed one cheat meal a week to have what you want so wine always sneaks it's way in. Our trainer did say that for success it's 80% diet. Â Feeling great and starting the next 4 week session again. I highly recommend this if there are any in your area. Â

My dad passed away many years ago as well and I'm going to have my mom walk me down the aisle. Is that an option for you?

I had a total freak out today because I found out that the plane is full for our departure date except for the remaining seats I had put a deposit down for. It took alot of juggling and contacting people but we've worked most things out. Some people will have to fly out of Toronto instead of Ottawa if they still want to come. Â I can't believe it sold out already. I should have reserved more than 20 seats but then how was I to know. Lesson learned so any future brides try and put a deposit down on as many seats as you think are coming.

OK, I get it now. We sent out to everyone evenif we knew they were not going to go as we didn't want peopleto feel left out and also thought of it as sort of an announcement about the wedding. Â I like your idea though and probably should have done that. Â

We are getting married in Punta Cana at Ocean Sands and our coordinator said it's not necessary as long as I've forwarded all of the paperwork to her in advance. We arrive Saturday and are getting married on Monday.

Yahoo, people have finally started to book after sending my invites out about a month ago. Ok, so far it's only 8 of us but it's a start.

You have to diet and exercise. Is there any kind of boot camp you can join in your area? The one I am in is in 4 week sessions and in my mid way assessment (2 weeks) I've lost 4 lbs and I am sure some inches. I am also following their nutrition advice faithfully. I joined for 8 weeks to get me kick started and I am hoping to be down at least 10 pounds by the end.

Any former Ocean brides, what do they do about wine at the reception dinner? Do they put it on the tables so guests can help themselves or do they serve or do you just order what you want? My FI is suddenly concerned about the wine and wants to pay to upgrade the wine but I don't think it's necessary as I'm sure that whatever they serve is fine. How does this work? Â Thanks!

Definitely love #2 the best. The starfish are so cute.

What a great song list. No need to figure out what to put on the Ipod now. Thanks for posting this website.

Hi Smrstars, Â The only thing I can think of for additional services would be the flowers unless you are taking care of that yourself. I've budgeted in extra champagne and I want to ask Ada about the extra costs for decorating the arch on the beach. I too am wondering about the sound system and if it includes an Ipod docking station.

Hi Tracey, Â When in March did you book? Maybe we'll be there at the same time. We will be there from March 12-19th. Â Â
