Hi Michelle! I was originally posting on the Knot message boards but got bored with that because everything was so generalized and was so thrilled to find this board since it is specific to our venue. It's so great to hear from someone with the same date!! What are the plans for your wedding? Where are your ceremony and reception going to be held? My ceremony will be at the gazebo at 4 and the reception will be in the ballroom (my fiance prefers indoors for the reception, but looking at everyone's pics have me craving a beach reception, lol!!) I haven't made any of my other choices yet (I know I'm a slacker!). I, too, have people staying at Gran Porto. My sister, brother-in-law and my mom will be over there with my nieces and nephews. I figure I will spend a bit of time each day over there with them. My one question about that is will I have any trouble with my nieces (ages 12 and 9) coming over to my room for getting ready photos. I guess I will have to ask my WC about that. They would really enjoy being a part of it, so if worse comes to worse, maybe I'll have to get ready in my mom's room. So nice to "meet" you!! Liz
