thanks natalie!! susana responded to my email !!! my god, i felt like i found gold when i saw her response! she said my may date is available to reserve. i guess now all i have to do is wait for her to send confirmation/deposit transfer form? i should be ok to have my group flights booked by my TA, right? have any of you ladies experienced the WC telling you a date is available, then you reserve it, and then they tell you later that it's not available anymore before sending you the confirmation/deposit form? what other information did you ladies get from your WC between the time the date's reserved, to the time when you got your confirmation?

Natalie and Trivera - thank you so much for your responses! All the ladies here are so helpful, I'm loving this forum. I spoke to my TA and she said that I can change the date, but the rates would increase (this was expected). She then sent me the new rates for the new dates I requested, and the increase wasn't too bad, but she said I need to let her know ASAP if I want the change. I emailed Susana and resubmitted the reservation date request form for the new dates and asked her to respond yesterday or this morning. I understand she's busy, but the very least should say that she got my email and will get back to me. I called her today and spoke to Lianny and her boss, Marlene? asking them to pass the message on to Susana to get back to me today. I told Marlene that when I spoke to Susana a couple days ago, she said it's not up to her to change the date and see if it's available, it's up to Marlene. Marlene seemed confused as to why would Susana said that...I really hope they understand my sense of urgency in a response soon...eeek!!! How soon after did you ladies submitted the date reservation request form that you got a confirmation form back? I thought the date was original confirmed after I submitted the form since Susana said yes, the date's available, but she said I have to wait for a confirmation form from them... Coco - the very first time I asked Susana to check for date availability, she emailed me with 3 dates and time along with it, so I don't know why your WC wouldn't let you know the time. Btw, congrats to everyone here on your engagement!! =)

Hi ladies, I'm new to this forum but have read a few pages and found the information you've all shared very helpful. I'm hoping someone here can be of help for me too. So I've just put in a deposit with my travel agent today for a week of April 2013. Before, I've also spoke with Susana, and emailed her 3 dates for her to check for availability. She responded this morning with 2 dates in March and 1 date in April. She told me to fill out the reservation form and send it back to her so I did. Does this mean that the wedding date is confirmed? If so, how likely (if date is available) are they to accommodate a change in date? Have any of you ever had to do this? The date that I picked turned out to be during exam week for my younger brother, so if we can't change the date, that means he won't be able to be there. Also, have any of you ever had to change wedding package? We picked the strawberry passion package, which calls for up to 25 ppl, but we are willing to pay for extra ppl up to 35ppl total or maybe even 40 ppl. However, if we end up having 35 ppl, would they force us to pick the tangerine package, which is for up to 35 ppl? Strawberry package for 25+10 still works out cheaper per person, rather than picking tangerine package for 35 ppl. Any prompt response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi ladies, I'm new to this forum but have read some pages of it and have found it very helpful. I wanted to know, I've just started planning and have put down a deposit with my travel agent for BBPD for April 2013. I've also spoken to Susana and asked what dates are available out of the three I emailed her, and she said there was a couple in March and one in April. I filled out the reservation request form and sent it back to her with the package we picked for the April date. Does this mean that my date is confirmed? Just found out though that the date I picked - my younger brother wouldn't be able to go because it's during his exam week. Have any of you had to change the wedding date after it's confirmed? How likely are they to make this happen? Also, have any of you had to change wedding package after you've submitted the form? We picked the Strawberry Passion package, and it's for up to 25 people, but we might have up to 35-40 ppl. Would we be forced to pick the Tangerine package, which is more expensive, for up to 35 ppl? Any prompt response would be greatly appreciated.
