Hello Ladies,
My name is Chrystal and I'm from Chicago.
FI's name is Jeff
We are getting married at The Excellence Resort and Spa in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
We were originally going to have a larger wedding here in IL but just a month ago and 6 months from our wedding day...we decided we needed to do what we really wanted to do and go away and get married.
After many hours spent researching destinations and resorts/hotels, pricing things out, we settled on the place that fit us best. I also read many wonderful reviews regarding Excellence resort and having never traveled anywhere like this before was in need of reassurance.
Our original wedding date was July 30th 2010 however we realized that we may not be able to keep that date on such short notice. I really hoped to keep it in July so was very happy when the wedding coordinator told me July 31st at 4pm was available for our ceremony!
I am revising my original colors to be more beach friendly so I haven't settled on them just yet. My MOH is helping me decide.
I'd have to say that the most unique thing about my wedding presently is that we decided to be brave and make changes to keep our wedding focused on what its really all about...our love and happiness.
