Ladies, Since we are entering into the final stretch, I thought I re-initiate islandbride's roll call to see who all is in the race with us. Please update/add your date, moniker, and location...... 7.04.2012 --atalanta, Hummingbird Hall, Montego Bay, Jamaica 7.21.2012 --delgadot, TBD, Jamaica 7.22.2012 --islandbride201x, Iberostar Rose Hall Suites, Montego Bay, Jamaica 7.28.2012--jamieirene, RIU Caribe, Cancun, Mexico

Loved your planning thread! Congratulations!

That's exactly what I'm looking for in terms of coverage and price. Thank you so much for sharing!

Jreist, These are beautiful. Could you post a picture of the organza table overlays? I don't know what they are, but they sound as though they might allow us to cover our whole table with color rather than just the center, the way a runner would. Thanks.

You look beautiful, and I love those bridesmaid dresses! Great deal on prices, too!

What do you mean subtle? That's amazing! Congratulations!

Wooo hoooo, ladies! My FI and I just entered the double-digit count-down......99 days to go!

Mrs Scuba, Put him on the guest list. He's got a band. What are they going to do? Stop your guest from taking pictures? I would not pay!

Congratulations! Welcome!

Yes, time is flying! My two biggies are 1) finding the right veil and shoes so that I can get my dress altered and 2) getting the invitations out. Yes, I am trying to get my invitations out (still). We made so many changes to our resort, but we are finally settled. I'm hoping to print them and send them out next week. Once those two are taking care of, I've got to get a push on my girls to get their dresses and shoes. Only about half of them have ordered their dresses, and no one has ordered their shoes. What about you IslandBride?

Don't you mean our 4 month mark?

Hi Ladies, I'm about to order my dress and I need a seamstress here in Montreal to measure me. Any recommendations?

Congratulations, Mrs. CherryCoke! This is a beautiful dress.!

Congratulations, sxcT! Thank you so much for the update. I'm glad everything worked out ok for you, and that they company made some provisions for your inconvenience. Welcome back to Insanity!

Great suggestion, Peach! Thank you! Lady, do I know about giving an inch and taking a mile. Kellykanester, Thanks for the advice. I think it is sound. I'm more worried about those you are coming/planning to come/crash being there for our big day. Nidanie

My biggest stressors are the guests. I want to call the entire wedding "off" and elope with my fiance (and possibly our immediate families) to the same destination, same venue, and be free of the ingrates. My fiance has a small family and many of his friends cannot make it. Meanwhile, everyone on my side wants to come and bring other people. Just because FI's guests sent regrets, it doesn't mean there is an opening for your neighbor, your brother in-law, friend, etc. My uncle told me "that's ok; I'm already bringing someone to the wedding". WTF how are you just going to bring "someone" to the wedding? I can't tell you how many people told me that I should not get married in Jamaica. My dad's cousin asked me whether I had and come to my senses and have have decided to have it at my parent's house. She also asked me why I had done something so foolish as to pay for a wedding in Jamaica. When I made the mistake of mentioning that we were also considering getting married in NY, one of my fiance's friends said that's what you should've done. I tried really hard to book the hotel that was most affordable for our guests (forgoing the one I really wanted and incentives). Now we have to pay an extra $1500 plus travel costs for each of us, a fake beach at the new resort, and no upgrades. And because this resort is far from our welcome dinner restaurant, we need to plan a new location for that, too. We have to have a separate off-site location for activities because some of my family lives on the island and guest passes would be ridiculously expensive. With all of these accommodations, to make attending our wedding easier for people. They still want more accommodations. I'm fed up. If we call off the wedding and just have our immediate families (sibs and parents), and a few friends, we can all stay at the resort of our choice and host all of our events at the resort for no additional charges because our group is small enough and save the excessive costs we are incurring trying to cater to each sub-group, with no recognition of our sacrifice on OUR WEDDING.

I'm with TropicLover, is there another company with a similar yacht that they can pay for? If not, you definitely need a discount. I'm glad you have a great attitude about this though.

I just do one in the morning and one before bed. Maybe that will work for you?

I love your wedding dress. It is absolutely beautiful! Congratulations! Again, you look amazing. Have a safe flight and a wonderful wedding!

Shaun-T paid off! You look amazing. And, the top of that dress is gorgeous! I'm not usually a fan of the bling. But even I like the embellishments on your dress.

Montego Bay, Jamaica, 4th of July. What about you?

I'm in Montreal! Bonjour!
