Dianna,

Can you send me the luxury package checklist? Can you forward it to my email - srn_luna@hotmail.com

Also, Does anyone know the price difference between hiring DJ Doremixx privately or through the resort? Ivan has confirmed that I can hire him privately, but I am wondering whether it would be worth it if I have to pay the $350 vendor fee, or whether I should just book directly with the resort.

WTF is a chuppa and/or huppa, lol??!?!?!?

luna -

 

the chuppa is what you stand under during the ceremony. They give you a chuppa with basic white fabric or it's to my understanding you can request an arch.

OK I'm having TTD issues!

 

I really don't mind trashing my own wedding dress that isn't the issue, but I bought a more traditional dress thinking I was going to have an at home wedding and then switched to DW. So anyone else that is doing this, do you think a more "fru fru" dress will work in the water/sand, etc, or do you think I'd be better off getting a simple J Crew dress? In fact I'll post the pic of it I know fiance doesn't get on this site LOL... the dress in the pic is champagne mine of course is white but HELP please I'm so confused I need girl advise! :/

I think it will be okay.. It will be A LOT heavier once it's wet. I'm guessing it's already pretty heavy. If that's your dream dress then I say stick with it. You could always get a J. Crew simple dress as a reception dress.

I asked my WC is there a vendor fee if we book him and she told me he's the house DJ (so no). Also, Ivan told me himself there is no booking fee if you book through him. You get more bang for your buck if you book directly through him. That's what we are doing!

[Lady_Di]

Julie said I have to pay the vendor fee for DJ Ivan since we booked directly through him so I am gonna fight that! I will email Ivan and ask him about it as well.

 

That dress looks really heavy so I think you should get a simple dress for the TTD!

Hey, any of your FI's going golfing or anything with the guys, and if they are, where are they golfing at?

 

Oh, has anyone been able to book at Veronicas or have a phone number for them?

you'll still wear this gorgeous dress for the wedding, right? it's beautiful and you should totally wear it!

for the TTD, i would just worry about the weight of it pulling it down, but otherwise, i'd say go for it! but it's whatever you'd be comfortable with.

[beachbum1285]

Thanks everyone for the TTD suggestions.

 

And yes I still plan to wear the dress for the ceremony for sure. It's a really light taffeta material so it actually breathes really well and surprising the dress isn't that heavy. Like y'all said and what I am worried about, since it has a train, even if I bustle it for the TTD session, I just see it weighing me down. Ugh.
