We are booking the flights next week and the wedding is already done. now its up to figure out decorations and gifts and such. I'm thinking of a beach bag for each couple with variety of stuff. First aid kit, water gun (for the boys.. i mean men lol) maybe a towel.. not sure. this is the fun stuff... just need everything booked!!! And then I will feel better.

Been waiting on Tiara, does anyone have the most recent Seaside Grill Menu? Please email me at [email protected]... it is very much appreciated. Also, how long did it take to get confirmation of your deposit?

Haven't read the whole thread... but i'm booked for April 11th at Dreams La Romana.. when i think of all the planning its really not that far away..:S lol - Dana [email protected]

I do variety of things.. First I'm graphic designer, but also I work for a First Aid Company. (going to make cute little first aid kits for my guests ) I'm in marketing and research. Keeps me busy - Cheers, Dana [email protected]

After our stay at the resort, our honeymoon is going to be traveling allllll around the island and I want to see everything I can! So, I have just contacted my wedding coordinator on what excursions they know of at the resort. I wanted to see what ones all the other Dominican brides have found!! I've heard the catamaran to Soana Island is awesome! What companys are you guys going through? Happy planning! xo, Jennifer Been to Soana Island, its truly beautiful. Sand is lovely, the beach on the water's edge is rocky and full of shells so if you have swimming shoes you'll be fine. We really enjoyed it. The problem is it is a long ride to the pier (approximately 1 1/2) Eat something quick in the morning and pee if you can (the one stop is not the most appetizing place to go to the bathroom, trust me!)

I'm having issues with the FI on hiring HDC, Can anyone give me a review of them or even some pictures. He's a photo snob

Just confirmed with Tiara, you rent out the seaside grill for 1000+26 %. Apparently you have the whole place to yourself and you order off the menu at the SSG (which i have not received yet) There is house wine and there is a bar there. Tiara said it covers 60 people (not sure if you have more what the charge is) Room for DJ and dancing. So instead of the Silver package we have decided to take the "Free" package and pay for all the extras. I do have a question for everyone. Is the cocktail hour worth it? I don't mind paying the 8$ a head. But i would like it to be nice... let me know:)

I'm certain there are more photos around this thread but I know the search is going to be exhaustive. I think I also did a google images search for Dreams la Romana Seaside Grill and found photos on the web too. Good luck with anything and if you want any other photos - I have photos of flowers and cakes, let me know! thanks alot!! I would appreciate anything that you can send me. I seriously went through every page of this thread and learned so much. Kind of weird since I know all of you and i'm a newbie!

LOL Just curious if anyone else has a FI/husband that loves how curvy you are and doesn't want you to lose weight. I tend to lose weight in my hubby's 2 fave areas (butt & boobs!) and he totally notices! My Fi loves my curves,and when i lose he notices as well. its all good, as long as you are healthy and happy in your skin. Found a beautiful dress in my size at David's Bridal in VT. I felt stunning even though i'm not a size5:)

Oh and Amy - I think you'll be VERY pleased with the paper lanterns that we're sharing. I LOVED them. i'll send you an email this weekend with more details on that an all our other decor. Loved it!! I just saw your wonderful pictures. Can i ask? what package did you end up using? Did you hire the Dj from the resort or did you hire someone outside (i saw dancing and it is so important to me) I would really appreciate feedback:) Thank you for sharing your pictures

Hmm...unless your native language is Spanish, you do not want Tiara or any other person who works for the resort conducting your "ceremony!" Yes, Tiara speaks fairly good english but she has quite an audible accent and if you have seen the ceremony that they do there you will realize that it won't give you that warm and fuzzy feeling that we're all after. My recommendation is absolutely to go with Pastor Rick who does both religious and non-religious ceremonies. If anyone would like to see a sample let me know and I'll e-mail it to you. Hi Nadia, I'm new to this thread, and was wondering if you could send me what pastor rick does. I'm on the fence as a "money" saver as we are getting married at the court house in advance. But i also want everything to be special. If you could email me at [email protected] his vows that would be awesome. Thank you and thank everyone. My eyes are starting to bug out from reading this thread lol, but i can't stop, so much great information.

We should probably post whatever we all have so we have a central place for everything. And fyi, I haven't heard about my deposit from Tiara either and it has been a week. (LOL) i'm new to the forum and am reading through all the back posts. Are you able to email me this document from Tiara? [email protected] thanks in advance.

Lol, i joined this forum a little late, is their anything left?

Hi All, My name is Dana and my date is April 11th 2011. We are planning on booking at La Romana Dreams. Looking forward to figuring these threads out and getting advice on my destination wedding.

Yes i would like to know as well, is there a huge price difference. i am thinking it will be easier if i go to a notary or city hall and sign some paper's before.

I am booking this week, i was wondering about the decorations.. what is everyone bringing. Please be patient,i'm new to this blogging thing and hope this is the right place to write it. Also I see that a dance floor is extra, does that mean only one the beach? Any feedback from anyone would be great!

Hi All, I have a tentative date to get Married on April 11th 2011 at La Dreams Romana in the DR. Anyone know about the weddings there? I'm also thinking about about just getting married on paper before going to simplify the whole process.. has anyone else done this? ** Dana
