Amazing, I like so many of your ideas I am bookmarking this thread. I loved your dress as soon as I saw it I knew it was a Maggie. I am obsessed with Maggie's dresses!
is the menu they sent you for weddings? What are the average prices of wedding meals there? I have emailed them and asked them about prices for ceremonies, decorations, cakes, etc. I'll post the response when I get it.
I agree with MsClarke, I'm not giving my guests an option. I am telling them this is the resort, contact my travel agent to book and the more people that book with the travel agent the better discount we will get. If people choose to go out on their own and pick a different resort i won't stop them but I'm not stating anywhere that its an option. i really want all my guests to be at the same resort and enjoy a whole vacation together.
You're right Monique, you just have to do whats right for you. I have learned especially with weddings no matter what you do you can't make everyone happy. Even if you had the traditional ceremony at home someone would have a problem with it.
