So excited to hear this @@Meandhim ! Such an exciting time! I know for myself choosing the resort and destination were the most stressful! Once that has been decided it should be smooth sailing (hahha ok maybe that's being a little TOO optimistic lol!), but most things after that will be much easier!

We are heading to Tahiti, Moorea, and Bora Bora for our belated honeymoon in April! I am so excited to be checking these destinations off! It has always been a dream of mine! It was between there and South Africa. Bora Bora won out though because it seems more like a honeymoon destination for the two of us whereas I think South Africa could be great even with children one day!

Wow congratulations! You looked so beautiful! So lovely for the two of you and your families!

@@malyna I went out probably 6 or 7 times. I tried on what felt like a million dresses and although they were all nice (except a few I really hated lol!) I didn't really love any of them... except for the one I ended up buying. I literally put the dress on and didn't have it all the way up and I just knew it was THE ONE! I just felt so beautiful and sexy in it. It was exactly what I had been envisioning! It had a lot going on, but it was so me. It fit my personality so well and I just exuded confidence and excitement in it! I hate to be one of those people that say you'll just know, but you really will! Even if you try on hundreds of dresses you will eventually get that THIS IS IT feeling!

#3 and 6 but really they are all beautiful. And #2 too!

@@Mrsktobe we are doing a similar thing to you. We have been married for 5 months now and I will be 29 in January. We are going on my dream trip to Tahiti, Moorea, and Bora Bora and staying in an overwater bungalow. I plan on going off the pill about a month beforehand and starting to try while we are there! Its super scary to think about it but also so exciting!

We sent postcards that said Thank you for Booking! Can't wait to see you in Cuba! And used one of our photos from our engagement photoshoot. I think people liked it!

@@Maggietron are you working with a Travel Agent? They should be able to look into this for you! Also have you thought about Cuba as a destination? It can be a lot more affordable than DR and Mexico in some cases! Also depending on your departure dates as well as your departure city will affect your package prices.

Wow this looks gorgeous! You've clearly put a lot of work and effort into your planning! I can't wait to hear how it all goes!

We kind of sent it around by word of mouth, but make sure that you get everyone! I didn't want anything posted once we got back because we were having a second ceremony here and I didn't want everyone to see what I was going to "look" like, but we forgot to tell one person! He took them down quickly, but it would have been easier had we just mentioned it when everyone was all together at once. I thought people would know not to post photos until I posted the first ones, but in this day and age of social media that doesn't happen!

@@talicea7812 Congratulations on the baby girl!! So exciting! And I love your photos! Sooo beautiful! I can't believe its already been over 3 months since our weddings! Time has certainly flown!

Yeah that makes sense! You are required to be in the country a minimum of 3 days before you can get legally married.

@@jodiearthurs Oh awesome! Well it will be different than our Canadian pricing anyhow! Will you be going for 2 weeks?

March can be more expensive because its March break, once you get into April its still considered high season but I find the prices tend to be a bit better. It will be warm, but not too hot for the kids. We got married this past May in Varadero and it was warm, but what you'd expect in the Caribbean and we had our two nieces who were 16 and 23 months old and they had a ball! They loved it sooo much! Also price will depend on where you are leaving from. Obviously Toronto is typically a lot cheaper to fly out of then other departure gates.

@@jodiearthurs that's a great time of year to go! Have you ever been to Cuba before?

@@jodiearthurs congratulations on your engagement! Have you spoken with a TA to get rates yet? I haven't personally been to Memories Flamenco but have a friend who has been there and she really enjoyed it! Have you decided which month you'd like to get married? I am currently working with a bride and received quotes for her wedding in Nov 2015. If you'd like I could always check into it and see if its possible to get quotes for you for early 2016.

@@maredith that's awesome! I haven't been to any of those properties in Cancun yet but the Moon Palace looks amazing and I know a number of people who have been to NOW and DREAMS resorts and have really loved them!

Good luck @@Mandiesue! You will do awesome! The first week is always the hardest I find... once you get into the groove you will feel so much better! I loved this program as you really see the results in your strength and endurance really quickly which is super motivating!

@@maredith fuel taxes have gone up and will likely be going up even more this year, so that is potentially why the rates could be higher. The one good thing, is that most charter suppliers like Sunwing and Transat offer one time price drop guarantees if you've booked early. So if you want to ensure that your resort/hotel/flight aren't going to be booked up (which could happen if you wait until 6 months out if its a high demand season) you could always book and use that one time price drop guarantee, but you'll want to make sure that your TA is looking out for those drops for you or keep an eye on it yourself and let your TA know when you see a drop so they can get it for you.

In my case, we booked 12 months in advance and honestly ours only went up. I always kept an eye out on the price and it was significantly more expensive as the months went on.

Which resort are you looking at?

Ahhhhhhhhh today is your wedding day! ! I hope you had the most amazing day and I cannot win to hear all about it!!

@@MissJen3 Maybe just mention to her that you have heard that other travel agents have been able to secure and book travel for Nov 2015 and see what she says.

Let me know if there is anything I can help you out with

@@MissJen3 I am a TA and I have a bride getting married in Nov 2015. If she just contacts the company they will be able to get the prices for November 2015. I have already gotten quotes for that month

Awesome! I am a travel agent who specializes in destination weddings, let me know if there is anyway that I can help you!

Most WC are very busy with multiple weddings per day. They typically will focus on the weddings at hand and that are coming up. So I wouldn't be too concerned but as @@jennifernoel1 said I would definitely call them and see if you can get an answer from them

@@Maggietron that sounds beautiful! I actually am trying to convince my parents to go there this year! The resort has really great reviews!! Have you gotten quotes yet?
