    So I just had my phone call to schedule my planning session with Roxy. I was very upfront about my hesitations on her responsiveness and customer service based on the information posted by past brides. The representative assured me that I can reach out to her directly if I did not have a satisfactory call with her, so wish me luck! 

    Good luck, thats who i had and she didnt know any questions i asked her and she was always out of the office, but it all turned out well thankfully! So again, any questions let me know and I will answer them best i can :)

    Awesome pictures! Beaches allowed you to bring them on-site to take your photos? I love it. I think I will be bombarding you with questions as time goes on, if you don't mind. Beautiful though, I really like the one of the 3 of you laying on top of each other. 

    Thank you! That is my FAVORITE one too :) I am a picture freak, so I actually paid extra to bring them on the resort, that was my one splurg, my husband was mad that i spent that much, but after doing the pictures and getting them back he is so happy I did :) Def. I would be happy to answer any questions!!

    I was actually told i could not ship anything unless i was there to receive my package, which i def do not want to risk that. I think I am just going to carry my flowers on with me.

    yaniranina, I doing that also with my 6 year old son. I am getting married may 4. We are having TI do all of our photos, it will be a lot more money, but to me it will be worth it because i love pictures, thats my most important part. I am having beaches do the video taping. Good luck with your planning :)

    To all Beaches May/June brides, I noticed there are a few on here, is anyone getting Married on or around May 31st?  Anyone else eloping alone?  I know there was a lady inquiring about help with video taping, but the dates don't match up.  If there are others out there needing this help, perhaps we can help each other out?

     

    Let me know.

     

    Thanks!

    I think your bouquet will be gorgeous and bring out the pink in your dress. Where is the pink in your dress? A sash or something? I actually have a purple sash on my dress

    Thanks :) Did you put a picture of yours up? Yea, I went with the 10 inch. The one one this i would change is, the pink and the green flowers switched, just because my dress has pink on it, but thats okay. I still love them.

    Melissa, Thank you so much for the feedback, its really appreciated :) Thats great to know you you get here schedule and everything,  Its definitely reassuring to hear this because of course i have my family, which are not happy about us going away in the first place, telling me how i can;t put him in the kids camp and its not safe. Which i will admit, it was a thing where i said i would have to see it before i put him in it, but again, glad to hear from you about how much he loved it.

     

    Thanks again, Melissa.

    They have a list of all the activities and the times.  You can check on them any time.  When it was time for a new activity we were there

    to see if he was OK and if he wanted to stay.  He always did.  The counsels are all very good.  He was always excited to see them.

    We would like to go back.  It was a great place for us to have our time as well as my son having a great time.

    I hope this helps.

    Hopefully someone will give us feedback. It will only be the 3 of us, so i wont have anyone i trust to watch him, and i am hoping i will feel comfortable with him being there. Have you been able to find any feedback about it anywhere? I have been trying to look but no luck. :(

    YAY! I am so glad to hear that! Thats crazy that we did the same thing! My family is upset, but they will get over it. We are having our dream wedding. We actually up graded our room to a 1 bedroom so when my son goes to bed we can have our alone time. We are beyond excited! We went from 9 months until the wedding to 3 months! And I just ordered my bouquet from wedideas.com and I cant wait to get it in :) Your bouquet was beautiful! I thought it was real until i read all the post. Your pictures are beautiful!
