Hi Just sent you the stuff, also if you do not see something you like you can always send a picture and they will do it for you. They were very accomodating when it comes to that.

How exciting! Were you able to take any pictures?
I completely agree with you about checking out your options before you make a decision. You don't want to have any regrets!! I was planning to wait until I was a year out from our wedding before shopping but when I was home for Christmas, my mom and sister wanted to check out the local bridal boutique. Happily, the Spring 2010 dresses were already in the store. It was a blast and as a result, I'm now totally addicted!!!
I saw two dresses that I loved but the boutique didn't have one dress that I'm dying to try on...hence the trip this Friday here in DC. The dress is the Maggie Sottero Anniston.

I can't wait to hear about the shopping trips and see everyone's dresses. I think I love clothes a little too much ;-)

Oh, and Jess...you're website is AMAZING. Good job girl!

This may have been answered already....We brought in our own photographer too, and so we let the resort photographer come as well to just the wedding ceremony and then picked out 24 of his photos to use that they printed and put in a wedding album for us before we left...we weren't able to extend our videographer for the wedding. It was a little confusing have our photographer and the resort photographer and the video guy there though... but I let everyone know who our main photographer was and to make sure they were looking more at him. It was nice to get some pics right away...although I'm not sure they were the best. they are nice quality but I find he didn't work on them at ...no cropping other people out or anything. I would hope that he would work on it more if he was the only photographer...but I'm guessing not...?
I still haven't seen the video!! It wasn't ready for us when we left so my inlaws picked it up for us (they stayed a second week we didn't) and they haven't gotten it to us yet!!
Hope that helps you out a bit...

I also will be going wedding dress shopping next saturday and the saturday after that. Apperantly I am sort of late in the game lol I was going to wait till May but thankfully I called and ask when I should start looking. I found out it takes 6 months just to get the dress and than all the fittings. Well happy shopping and make sure to take pictures to show us

Well if you are late in the game then I am behind you!! I haven't even thought about dress shopping yet - I've looked on some things online but not ventured to the stores yet....We are finishing up renovations on a house we bought over the summer, so we can move in - it's a bit hectic but I guess I should get my move on!!!

Great webisite, Jess! I might have missed this in previous posts, but, you aren't having your reception at the resort (or, I don't know what the Kool Beach Club is...)?

I got an email from Jill regarding her TA services, I totally agree with you all that a TA is the way to go. I will talk to her more to see if she's the one we want to work with...do you have a sense of how far out you guys will book your trip - I just thought about it today and there are 3 of us having our weddings on the 11th and 12th! Me, you and Randi will have to meet up for a celebratory-bridal beverage!!

[randi.renstrom]

i definitely would LOVE to meet up for a drink! we booked our trip the other week. we will be flying out saturday november 6th, and leaving saturday november 13th. our wedding will be thursday november 11th. i'm so excited! we are sending out our saves the dates this week! and i actually went out to "look" for a dress for a few weeks ago....and unexpectedly bought one! which they told me would be in around march, and i just got an email saying it's in! so i'm going to be picking up this weekend. things are just suddenly falling into place....it's almost making me nervous!

 

i know i don't post too much on this site....but i am constantly reading! i have only really had contact with my travel agent. she is the one who has been contacting the wedding coordinator (she's worked with the WC a lot) . so i haven't really had much info to give so far.....but when i do have any info....i will definitely give it!

Thanks just making sure Zulma was still around. Yeah I have her email stating I could use my deposit for something else like the spa and my deposit receipt from the bank. Guess I'll just show up at the Resort with all of this.

Well ladies,

I have FINALLY received my contract from my WC. I sent her a long email explaining how I didn't think it was fair that I would be charged $400 for having my wedding after 4pm when she was the one who never sent me a contract. She explained for getting off on the wrong foot and agreed to waive the fee. I'll be sure to save that email!! Needless to say, I am a bit relieved! Lets hope the rest of the planning goes a bit smoother.
