Hi everyone so I'm waiting for Grand Coral to update their contract and resend it over to me and I'll have my reception booked, have my accommodations booked, hair and makeup my own, flowers from DAC or similar, table set up Euphoria, dj taken care of, still need a wedding cake but for me I could totally make a boxed cake( yes I said that.) But there is still one thing... An officiant! If you google officiants you will see Noe Camacho. I tried reaching out to him multiple times with no luck. I found his Facebook site ( yes I'm thorough, have planned many events for friends; I'm crafty) he apologized said he was so busy n would contact me this week. Still nothing... At this point I have a bad feeling. If he's that busy now, will he make my day feel rushed? For me the ceremony is the most important part. The emotion the intimacy the promise. Family encircled, feet rooted down onto the earth, no jewelry, no precessional music although I'm planning something else instead, but the real raw union of two people for life. I want my officiant to understand that. If any brides feel the same way then, who are you using to officiant your wedding? It would be an English speaking symbolic ceremony. ( we are legally married but haven't exchanged vows.. We want this to feel real!) Thanks!!!!!!!!!! Lisa

Hi Brides! Just wondering if there are any brides on here currently in the process of deciding on a resort for March 2016? I am having a hard time deciding between Punta Cana, Jamacia, or Cuba!! Anyone have any info on whether they have been given a group rate that matches with my own budget ($1200-$1500pp). I LOVE Now Larimar in Punta Cana, and the Majestic Colonal Punta Cana .. not so struck on any other resorts yet.. any feedback is appreciated :)

Hello lovely ladies, I'm looking to get some advice and or ideas. Since my mother is no longer with us, I wanted to find a way to include her in this special day. I have seen the idea where couples leave a chair empty and reserved for that special person. I really like that idea. Here's where it could be awkward though. So my dad will be at the wedding with his new wife. She's great and she's been very supportive for this wedding. I don't know where to put the empty chair. I don't want it to be awkward for her if she's sitting next to it. the space is quite small where we are getting married so I don't know if that's the best option but it was one that I really liked. I really don't want her to feel uncomfortable. Let me know what you ladies think!

You will soon be able to get married at sea on Norwegian Cruise Line starting this fall. The legal ceremonies at sea, which will be performed by the ship’s captain, are available on Norwegian Breakaway, Getaway, and Escape, according to company President and COO Andy Stuart. The company had initially offered legal wedding ceremonies only while the ship is docked in its embarkation port or in various destinations. All NCL weddings include a wedding planner and on-site coordinator. Legal same-sex ceremonies are also available at destinations where they are legally recognized. With starting prices at $2,199, the new wedding package includes the ceremony, bouquet and boutonniere, cake, champagne toast, bistro dinner for two, three bottles of wine, chocolate-covered strawberries, canapés delivered to stateroom, priority tendering and debarkation, and one hour of photography services, according to TravelPulse.com. Packages for onboard symbolic ceremonies conducted during days at sea are priced from $1,799 and includes the ceremony, bouquet of 12 ivory roses and matching boutonniere, pre-recorded music, six-inch cake, bottle of sparkling wine, champagne toast, an 8x10 photograph in engraved frame, keepsake certificate, and canapés and chocolate-covered strawberries delivered to stateroom, the website added. Couples can also partake in vow renewal ceremonies starting at $499, which include the ceremony performed by a ship’s officer, a red rose, a cake, champagne toast, an 8x10 framed photograph, certificate, and bottle of sparkling wine, chocolate-covered strawberries and canapés in stateroom.

Hi Brides! I'm getting legally married one week before we leave for our Destination Wedding. I'm Catholic and wanted my marriage to be recognized in the church, so my ceremony will be in my church by my priest. Our parents, siblings, grandparents, and a few aunts and uncles who won't be at the DW will be in attendance. I'm struggling to figure out the balance between respecting the importance of this ceremony from a religious and spiritual standpoint, without making it feel too much like the "real" wedding. I want the entire thing to be as simple and straight forward as possible so we feel like we're really getting married at our DW, but I also don't want my priest to feel like we're not taking it seriously, or that we're not regarding it as us ACTUALLY getting married. Have there been any other brides who have had a church ceremony before their DW (especially Catholic brides since there's a little more protocol to follow)? How did you handle this? What all did your ceremony include/not include? I'm wondering what wedding traditions we should participate in and leave out - do we exchange our real rings? Does my dad walk me down the aisle? (That feels like a HUGE deal to me and I know it'll make me emotional, so I don't really want to do it twice). Do I wear a white dress? I think all of this would have been a little easier if we had had the legal ceremony after our DW, but with my parents being very conservative I thought that everything should be official before we start "acting" married. I definitely see the appeal in just going to a courthouse and signing papers...I wish I could do that, but having my marriage recognized in the church is just too important! Any thoughts would be appreciated

I know that I'm not the first to post about disappointment and I certainly won't be the last but I wanted to share my experience this weekend with you guys because you guys have been so supportive. We are getting married in 3 months and our Officiant who is one my best friends for over 20 years let me know this past week that she will not be able to attend the wedding. We recently confirmed with the hotel that we wouldn't need any of their services with the Officiants etc etc and now we are starting all over from scratch. She explained that money is a constraint for them and that they have 2 children and it's very difficult for them to travel. I do understand. We knew that not everyone could attend and we knew that this would be an issue for those who have children. We get it. When we asked her to be an Officiant she said she would do anything and she would make it work. We were thrilled. Since then I've heard rumblings from some of my BMs that she was going to book last minute because it didn't matter where her room was or which hotel she stayed at because she's not part of the bridal party so she's not important. I only heard about this in the last few days. We asked her to be an Officiant because she's an amazing speaker, she's witnessed my life through good times and bad and we felt like she really believed in us as a couple. We were so heartbroken when she told us that she couldn't come and it was because of money. So when I told my family about this they offered to pay for her and her husband to come. I told her this and she said that she still would have a hard time getting a sitter and it's just hard for her to come and she'd still need money to buy stuff etc etc. I get it. But at the same time, don't you just make it work for close friends? Don't you just say like, ok, one of us will go, I will make it work. She didn't even sound like apologetic on the phone. It was just like, can't go, it's a fact. Can't take your offer of help. They have two sets of grandparents that can take care of their kids and this was all arranged to work earlier on in the year. So now she's using them as an excuse that she doesn't know if they can sit. In addition to this leaving a poor taste in my mouth, I just felt like maybe she felt like she wanted to be a bridesmaid instead of Officiant. I really thought Officiant would be a greater honour because not only is she standing up at our wedding, she's marrying us. She would be wearing a pretty dress just like the other girls but just taking more of a leadership role. It feels silly that I would have to make sure someone feels special enough on my wedding day. LIke that sounds crazy as I type it. Well apparently not. I called her after our convo and told her that I spoke with the hotel and they would allow us to use her even if she decided to change her mind last minute and I had ordered her a bridesmaid dress one shade lighter to compliment the bridesmaid look and that way it will look awesome when we get our pictures taken. She then responded that if she comes last minute she probably wouldn't want to be an officiant and that i was wasting my money with the dress because she prob can't come. Which is fine, but like do we really need to be difficult? I bought the convertible dress and if she can't make it, then I will keep it. I feel like she's really not making an effort and just being childish by talking behind my back and saying that she's not included. How more included do you want to be? Do you want to be the bride? is that enough? I ended up taking today off originally for us to meet up to work on the ceremony but then she cancelled on me and decided that I should really take this time and still try to get some wedding things done while i'm here visiting from out of town. I had already booked the day off and purchased a ticket so I couldn't cancel my day off. I cancelled on her last night and explained that i took the day off originally to get ahead with wedding things and that i was going to try to get my veil tomorrow with my sister. She was very passive aggressive and was like, "ok, fine, fine, have fun." 4 hours later she sent me a very short emailing telling me to "next time give her more notice because she was counting on me to be with her today" I mean the obvious is that I wanted to say well I was counting on you to be our officiant...but it was ok for you to bail 3 months out. I just wrote back saying apologies. Didn't mean to inconvenience you. For me the friendship is over. Is this like an extreme reaction? I just feel like I really tried to help her out and make her feel included and even help out financially and her reaction is so negative. I mean would she even have fun? probably not. I just want to hear from you ladies to see what you think! It's been a very difficult and disappointing day. This is someone that I didn't think would ever be this way. ugh ;(

Hello, I'm new here. I just got engaged 2 weeks ago and I've been searching for a wedding venue for about a week. We have our hearts set on Jamaica because of the culture, food, overall vibe, and beautiful beaches. We'd like to get married in Negril or MBay at a beach hotel that has ceremony options other than the beach. I love the beach but we don't want our ceremony in the sand. I'd much prefer to be in a gazebo, in a garden, or on a balcony with the water in the background (a must). Does anyone have any suggestions? We're expecting about 50 guests (including about 5 kids). Right now we're leaning towards Moon Dance Cliffs and just shuttling to the beach. I LOVE the ceremony site at MDC and they have good reviews. I've been in touch with the head office and they've been very nice and responsive so far. But if we could find a place that's on the beach, that'd be ideal. Thanks for your help!

Please Help.. I Think I Picked The Wrong Maid Of Honor
michellemanoogian posted a topic in Newbies!!
HELP!i think i picked the wrong maid of honor my best friend of 12 years was less than excited when i told her i got engaged.. in fact he didnt want to talk to me about it untill two weeks after. fast forward to my engagement party.. where she forgot to bring her dessert she said she would bring, showed up two hours late, and stayed for all of MAYBE an hour. When i asked her why she left so early she said she was tire it was hot and a long list of excuses.. on the flip side, my very close friend and soon to be sister in law (whom ive known for about 6 years) is more than estatic about the wedding and has been so involved in everything. in fact, she threw the engagement party for us. i tried telling my best friend that i think it would be better if she were just a breidmaid and she refused and said only my actual sister should do it (not my sister in law). the conversation never really finished..just got more awkward.. keep in mind my sister also thinks my sister in law she be the MOH becasue shes older than my little sis (whos only 19) and is married and knows how these things work. now i have a dress fitting where they will all be and i want to make sure that my sister in law is the new maid of honor. she already knows whats going on with all this and has basically accepted.. how do i tell my first maid of honor that i just want her to be a bridesmaid?! HELP PLEASE- 6 replies

I want to do a sand ceremony for our wedding, but I don't want to use craft sand. Rather, my plan is to have each of us scoop sand from where we are standing and pour that in to the jar. I kind of thought it would be cool to have a smaller scoop and ask all of our friends and family who are attending to scoop a little sand from where they are at when we said our vows and say something about how it means a lot to us to have them there, as they have influenced us as individuals and as a couple and are very much a part of the day. While I really like the sentiment of that, I don't know how practical it is and how we'd do it logistically with 40 guests. Should I scrap involving the guests, or leave it? If I leave it...how do we do it smoothly?

We are hiring a dj for our reception for 5 hours 7pm-12pm. I will walk out onto the beach at 7pm. So I just figured the dj can set up and play music for cocktail hour and dancing later on. For our ceremony music we had planned on using our own iTunes playlist in which we have downloaded songs, and crossfaded, and shortened to the right amount off of the songs as needed. We had intended on just plugging our device to the boss sound link speaker. But now I'm pretty sure that my Bose sound link that I have thought of using with my ceremony precessional music won't be loud enough. I've used it on the beaches before and you could hear it just fine for lounging. Is it going to be loud enough to hear from where my children and myself will be waiting, out of view, listening to the music as our clue as to when to walk?.... Probably not! Plus given the fact the they are walking down and I am walking down to two non traditional songs by The Killers, is it going to be loud enough to convey the songs as personal as they are? Probably not.... Not really worried as there is a solution to everything but I'm writing for 2 reasons- 1.) To hear what others did with their ceremony songs for ceremonies directly on the sand near the ocean. 2.) To present ahead of time potential sound dilemmas to eliminate last minute headache. Thanks!

Found fans I want for our ceremony but it's so discouraging when I find out they are coming from the states so shipping is 40.00 not to mention once they convert the CDN dollar it's only .88 USD per 1 CDN dollar the fans were perfect and best price I found so far..just .90 each. Does anyone know if they are cheaper anywhere else? or place in Canada I can order them for the same price? so disappointed. .but I really want them because they are plastic and cloth which means they should be very durable...

Over the last few years I've been hearing about first look photos taken before the ceremony. I'm not sure how or why this started and not really sure how I feel about it. I think there is something magical about seeing your lover waiting for you, or coming towards you on your wedding day. But then again, I can see setting aside time to spend with each other before the ceremony, but then what is there to look forward to? I'm not sure how this will fit into our wedding day. The jury is still out. So, are you doing a first look? What factors went into your decision? Will you allow your BP to participate?

Hi Girls, I was wondering what symbolic personal touches people are incorporating into their ceremonies and/or reception? Somewhere else on here someone mentioned she will be giving her bouquet to her grandma in leu of a bouquet toss. I have heard of people placing framed wedding pics of family members in the reception area. Stuff like that! What are you doing?

Are any ladies having a rehearsal for their ceremony? I am having a beach front wedding ceremony with 2 young children involved. My wedding venue closes for the evening to all public and then one hour later our ceremony will start. I am wondering if that's going to be too short of time for everything to get set up and run smoothly. There is an on site wedding coordinator and what I have found is that she is very attentive, but I am wondering if I should do a run through the day before? My officiant is wonderful and I think she may have mentioned that I do not need to do a rehearsel but Im worried that without it the kids wont know what to do. We are not having a wedding party so it would just be the kids, us and my father who need to do the run through. What are you doing? Are you having a rehearsel?

My Mayan Wedding Ceremony, An incredible Experience to Remember for the Rest of Our Lives… Thinking of what to do to surprise my guests and to make our wedding weekend unique and unforgettable, the idea of having a Mayan ceremony crossed my mind. However, I was having doubts since I had never experienced being in a Mayan ceremony before and I didn’t know what to expect. We were getting married in The Riviera Maya, during a very important year for the Mayan culture so we decided to go for it, although I never imagined the big surprise it would be for me and my husband…..it turned out to be the most incredible experience that we could have as a couple!! You have to know that for the Mayans, it’s a sacred ritual that is done to connect the souls of the couple, and be in touch with our creator. All the elements are involved in a spiritual practice where their mind is ready to receive the positive energy for their future life together. We arrived at the beautiful Le Reve Hotel & Spa at sunset time around 6 pm in September 2012, since I wanted the ceremony to be more spiritual than a party celebration, we invited only family members for a total of 30 guests (parents, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunties, and grandparents). I was wearing a casual dress and wasn't very worried about hair or makeup since I was saving the “vavavoom effect” for the wedding itself the following day. Our guests were welcomed by the “saumadora” (a Mayan girl that was using incense and the sacred copal), and a card with a short explanation of what was about to happen so we could get everyone into the Mayan ceremony mood. We then walked down to the altar holding hands, “our first walk as a couple and with the intention of joining our lives together”. At the altar the shaman welcomed us with the copal and He honored the 4 natural elements. The altar is where the spiritual part of the ceremony took place… it was represented by a circle on the sand that contained all the important elements of the ritual: flowers, cacao, corn, rice, beans, pumpkin seeds, rose petals, and obsidian stone. All of these elements contribute to be immersed in the atmosphere of spirituality and connection with nature and the 7 directions. For the Mayans, the earth represents our mortal body, the water is our blood, the wind is our breath and the fire is our spirit that never ends. That’s why the principal element of the ceremony is the fire; which is used in the incense, the sacred copal and torches. The ceremony was performed by a Mayan priest called “Shaman” in a Mayan language. However, he was doing the ceremony with another “Shaman” that was translating to everybody in Spanish step by step and explaining all of the meanings (it can be done in English too). The ceremony began with a ceremonial blessing for the 7 universal directions. Everybody moved together with the Shaman in the same direction: east, west, north, and south. Also up; (for cosmic energy), down (for mother earth), and the center, the bottom of the couple’s hearts. After this, the Shaman took the offerings of the altar for the couple to exchange their vows. During the ceremony we could feel the magic of the moment. We were surrounded by all our beloved, in front of the sacred sea, with a sunset light slowly changing to a gorgeous full moon and every word we were listening to was reminding us of the love we had for each other and the blessing of being together at the right time, in the right place, accompanied by the murmur of the sea and seashells instruments. I had tears of joy and happiness as the shaman asked us to look into each other eyes and feel the love…that was a precious moment that I can´t put into words. At the end of the ceremony we walked to the water and offered the seeds to the sea, at that moment I couldn’t be happier and I realized that from that moment our lives began as a blessed couple. It was a very intimate and magical ceremony, not a religion, not a protocol, it is something that you truly want to do as a couple; you want to be blessed in a more profound way. That’s why the ceremony guides you to being grateful for the universe, and for every living creature. During the ritual you realize that all these elements were combined in a certain way to help you find your beloved one…beautiful life circumstances! After the ceremony all of our family told us how wonderful and special the ceremony was, they had never experienced something like that before and they were very grateful to be a part of it. Besides it was a surprise for them because we invited them for a family dinner and never mentioned that we would have a Mayan ceremony. We ended the night by having an amazing dinner at Le Reve Hotel & Spa gardens right in front of the sea, enjoying the full moon and love from everyone. A very special night getting ready for our wedding the next day….. Arlenis not only chose Le Reve as her wedding venue but she is also the Wedding Coordinator at this resort.

Flipping the Proverbial Bird to Tradition by Miranda Lightstone When he finally gets down on one knee and pulls out that diamond-encrusted engagement ring you’ve been fantasizing about since you were a little girl and knew the significance of a diamond ring, it’s time to make a decision equally large as answering yes or no. Do you want a traditional, at-home wedding or do you want something a bit more unique, a bit more “out there”? It seems that choosing the “out there” option has become more and more popular, and for good reason. Destination weddings (or “out there” weddings if you will) are quickly becoming the norm over traditional, church-based ceremonies. Now, that’s not to say that brides around the globe are kicking religion to the curb, just that hey are are choosing to make their day even more special by making their wedding day an overall experience for themselves and all of their guests. Usually, a destination wedding refers to a wedding that takes place away from the area in which the bride and groom live. It could be another city, another state/province or even another country. Most think of a celebration on the beach in some tropical paradise, however, a destination wedding could take place in a castle in Ireland, a Masai village in Africa or even a whale-watching boat in Alaska -- it can be whatever your bridal heart desires. And that’s the beauty of it. Traditional weddings have so many restrictions: find the church, book the hall, find a DJ, make sure you have all the meal courses in order, don’t forget the wedding favors, and for God’s sake don’t forget to invite every single person you’ve ever met in your entire life. On the other hand, destination weddings let you be a bit more original, creative and free. A destination wedding ceremony can take place anywhere at anytime with anyone present (or not!). Destination brides also tend to take creativity and DIY projects to a whole new level. Because their weddings usually require guests to travel, OOT (Out Of Town) bags are the norm and usually contain anything and everything from hangover cure kits (for those all-inclusive resort wedding celebrations) to homemade wedding programs and fans for the wedding ceremony. DIY invitations and home-bought and prepared centerpieces and wedding decorations are also common. The atmosphere of a destination wedding is also much more relaxed. And really, how can you not be as you stroll down the white-sand beach towards your husband-to-be who’s wearing comfortable linen pants and a brightly colored shirt and sandals? And the guests tend to be much more relaxed as well -- there isn’t the pressure of a traditional wedding. You’re all there to enjoy the location, the atmosphere and the celebration of the marriage. Destination weddings also give friends and family the unique opportunity to get to know one another in a relaxed setting that lasts for more than a few harried hours. Spending a week together on the beach is a sure way to build strong family bonds and new friendships. Exploring and discovering a new country is incredible, and doing it with close family and friends makes the experience even more fantastic. A wedding is already a heartwarming event that’s sure to bring those gathered closer, but put the event in an exotic setting and the atmosphere of the whole ordeal changes entirely and becomes that much more intimate. And when it comes to cost, well a destination wedding really is the better option. Because you usually don’t have to worry about all the small details (DJ, flowers, hall, decorations), that means less to worry about on the budget side as well. For the brides who choose to get married at an all-inclusive resort somewhere down south, the cost is even lower. Wedding packages are often free once a certain number of people are booked at the resort for the wedding. Flowers, food, the officiant and decorations are all included in the package so the only expense becomes your ticket down there and your gown. Ah, the gown. There’s another interesting twist on the traditional. Destination weddings allow for so many different wedding gown options and wedding attire in general. Because you’re not bound to the church/hall set-up, your location choice greatly influences your dress choice. Getting married in the sand on a hot, Caribbean beach? Consider lace, chiffon and light, airy silhouettes. Getting hitched in an ice hotel in Sweden? Make sure you get a warm, fur stole and opt for a heavier fabric and skirt. The style options are endless. It’s not that traditional is passe, just that destination weddings are so much cooler -- especially right now. There’s so much freedom in how you want your ceremony to be, where you want it to be, how you want it to look and who you want to experience it with. It seems like a pretty obvious decision for future brides-to-be -- you may have that decision made before you decide whether to answer yes or no.

I am beginning to think that I do not want the traditional wedding music during any part of my ceremony. I was thinking that since I am doing more of an intimate, and raw ceremony it would be really awesome to have conch horn blowing being done by possibly two people as I walk down the "aisle". There has got to be a way to find locals with experience that would be willing to help out! I cant imagine I would have to hire through and fire show company to find what I am looking for. Has anyone had any experience with anyone that could possibly be for hire? Thank you so so much! Lisa
