You have such cute ideas!!! Your wedding is almost here!! YAY!

Hey ladies I don't know if you are interested in these deals.. it's like groupon but it's wedding stuff!!! http://deals.weddingchannel.com/deal/houston/dc-allens-3?MsdVisit=1 Today for houston it is wedding accessories from a website online.. Tons of cute things!!!

Is there a blue starfish that I can borrow out there?? I am getting married August 11, 2012 at NOW Larmiar Dominican Republic

Thanks JB, I def need to look into that forum soon so I can get in on it as well AcutieRN def let me know if you can get the oceanfront because I would def LOVE that!! As for a at home reception, Yes I think we are going to plan one here in Houston and one in Florida actually because I am from Houston and he is from Florida.. We haven't actually started planning for it or even thinking about it honestly but I will let you ladies know when we figure it out

Is the Master suite the ocean front room?? That is what I want for us!!! I want to walk out to the sand doesn't look like they have many of those rooms! No I haven't booked our rooms because we are getting married August of 2012 so I am waiting for the rates to drop but seems like the girls that that getting married in April and May are getting really reasonable rate from their TA.. JB this might seems like a dumb question but what is this clear starfish you keep talking about??

Oh btw JB, I just copied the resort map to my computer so I think that should work right??

Christine Kennedy from Destination Weddings.com is AMAZING and VERY helpful!

Welcome Christi! So excited to have another NOW Bride. Happy Planning! Christi I am using Destination Weddings. The lady I am using is AWESOME~ Let me know and I can give you her info if you want. AcutieRN, I am wondering the same thing about the DJ and Photographer I am thinking about downgrading the package and hiring DJ Mannia and HDC photographer. I don't know what to do yet because if I do downgrade then I loose the chair upgrade but maybe I will just splurge on the tiffany chairs?? AcutieRN, I love the idea, must share the pics when done Also as far as the cocktail hr, I have no idea yet but for the Reception definitely the Castaway Restaurant

JB I love your bridesmaid dresses and I LOVE the resort map. I am def going to have to still that from you Moniwoni, I agree with you but I do think I might wait till hurricane season comes around and hope the rates go down. I really would like to know the resort DJ and the Photographer as well ladies.

JB Yea I totally understand that! I def don't want to settle at all!!

K I think I am going to wait it out though my TA is probably going to be annoyed because this is the 2 contract.. I mean I feel bad but I don't want our guests to have to pay more then they should!! I want the best deal possible for them.

Thanks AcutieRn for the opinion I actually already have my contract but I haven't signed it. I think I just sign it now and I just sign it if I am ready and then it's a done deal. I am prob going to wait. I think my TA is getting a little frustrated with me... I don't know what to do...

We are getting our engagements on June 18th, I am getting so excited!! This photographer awesome! We are going to pick out our outifts this weekend!! I just started shoping my bridesmaid dresses also and I have a couple different ones I like. The one I really love is strapless but I really don't want everyone pulling and tugging at their boobs all night. I am going to post, let me know what you ladies think. Of course I want the dress in Chocolate Brown because I am going to get them a tiffany blue parasol. As for the last dress I was thinking if I did that one.. chocolate brown with the middle part being tiffany blue. My favorite dress is the first one!!! Neways, opinions please

Thanks AcutieRN, I am def looking into ordering them just need to figure out how many people would be coming. I am only going to be doing it one per couple/family also. They get expensive if you do one per person. These are my new rates, what do you ladies think?? They went down a little but do you think if I wait a little bit I can get a lower rate?? Pricing (All rates per person): Number of Nights: 5 Arrival Date: 8/7/2012 Room Category: deluxe tropical room Number of Rooms: 1 Single: $783.00 Double: $611.32 Triple: $591.60 Child: $220.40 Ages 3-12 Child: $29.00 Ages 3-12 ------------------------------------------ Number of Nights: 4 Arrival Date: 8/8/2012 Room Category: deluxe tropical room Number of Rooms: 5 Single: $632.20 Double: $495.32 Triple: $479.08 Child: $182.12 Ages 3-12 Child: $29.00 Ages 3-12 ------------------------------------------ Number of Nights: 3 Arrival Date: 8/9/2012 Room Category: deluxe tropical room Number of Rooms: 5 Single: $481.40 Double: $379.32 Triple: $366.56 Child: $143.84 Ages 3-12 Child: $29.00 Ages 3-12 Transfers, hotel taxes and fees included.

I think I am going to get Insulated tote bags for our OOT bags!!! http://www.discountmugs.com/nc/tote-bags/1660/piccolo-insulated-tote-bags.htm You can use them as a cooler or a beach bag, I am going to get them in black and either leave them plain or put something cute on it but nothing with our names on it so our guests can use it

Thanks AcutieRN I don't really want to give up on NOW Larimar anyway, I love this resort! After reading all of these other reviews it does calm my nerves a little!! Sarah I would let them just enjoy the vaca and wait for them to get back to hear from them!! I can't wait though

Ladies, I totally agree. My FI and I are going to look into other resorts now. I just don't want to risk it but I do agree it would stink if we don't end up together My TA is suppose to be sending me over a couple different resorts that are suppose to be amazing. Of course Paradisus is beautiful and one of the most popular it seems, but it's also a little pricey> My FI keeps telling me not to worry about it but it still makes me a little nervous when it comes to money. We do get our money back if we decide to cancel??

Yup lets hope. I am wondering if I should of choose the Braveo Palace or Paraidius... Man what to do??

awww man this isn't good at ALL!!! The last time I read them, they weren't that bad.. wow.. What are we going to do ladies???

YAY!! Can't wait for what they say about the resort

Thanks JB, I just emailed her and requested it

What time do you ladies think I should do our wedding date since the sunset is at 7pm? I want the best photographs

weatherunderground.com You go to history and click in the a couple of different years and go from there.. Let me know if you need any help.

MoniWoni did you get your save the dates printed?? If so how much did it cost?

I want to go to the Christmas Shop but I would have to drive 4 hrs right now, so I might just wait till I go to Maryland to visit and go to that one!!! I can't wait!! MoniWoni I love all of the items that you have gotten.. Looks like the sunsets about 7pm in August so I am thinking to get married at 4pm or 5pm.. What do you ladies think??
