I feel your pain, we just announced that we want a small and intimate DW because that's all we can afford, and both our families are complaining about us not wanting everyone there, when really it's just a matter of cost. I initially only wanted it to be just the two of us, but his mom really threw a fit over it, so we decided to invite just our parents. We may have a small dinner/reception for friends n family at home before or after the wedding, but we don't really know of we can afford it, I don't want to get into debt just so I can throw everyone else a party. I feel that it's your wedding, your day, so you have the right to make it whatever you want, wherever you want. People will complain no matter what, so just do what you have always wanted to do. I think in the end, all that matters is the 2 of you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@@0713root, what vendor did you use? I'm thinking of bringing my own bouquet as well

Hi y'all! I'm brand new to this forum and am getting married Nov 2014 at Sandals Grande Antigua and was wondering if anyone has any recent info/advice regarding their wedding experience? I read some past threads yesterday with some less than desirable information regarding ceremony location, photography, and floral selections which kinda worry me, but the info seems a bit dated so I decided to see if some of you could help clarify things. Here are some of the concerns I have; any help is greatly appreciated: -Is a beach ceremony really that terrible? -Does the beach gazebo really overlook the beach? -Are the photographers really that bad? And can anyone recommend any alternatives? -I am terrible with makeup and hair, so I'm relying on the bridal salon for the big day. What was your experience? -Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if they would allow me to get married in a swimsuit/cover-up ensemble? -Does anyone have any recent photos of their ceremony/reception they wouldn't mind sharing? I don't want to rely solely on the website pics. I apologize for all the questions, just looking to ease my mind a bit. Thanks in Advance!
