The bonfire is only 15 minutes long... does anyone really want to pay $100 for a 15 minute fire??

15 mins?? Are you serious. That's a big rip off!

Got my save the dates done. 19 cents each!!!! I designed them in paint, and printed them at Walmart.

Nice job!!!!! They are very nice!

I can’t believe the bonfire is only 15 minutes, that’s a joke…it seems like by the time they got the fire started it would be over..lol

Hello ladies,

 

glad to have found a forum that's Dreams Palm Beach.  Every other one I've found is Dreams Romana or Dreams.  Our wedding is booked 5/4/12.  It took about 2 weeks from the time I submitted my paperwok and documents to the time I received our confirmation.  Is anyone doing a religious ceremony?  I was told by Mercy that the priest was booked, but I'm not sure his name.  Does anyone know?  Originally we were going with a symbolic ceremony and Pastor York was going to do it but then we changed our mind.

I think there is only one priest that will do your wedding in Punta Cana. Not sure of his name...any reason why you decided against Pastor York?

Hi DPB Brides-to-Be!

I'm so happy someone started a new thread. Too bad I just spent the last 3 1/2 hours reading the old one before I realized this one was in existence. FAIL. Oh well. My FH and I just booked our trip yesterday to visit DPB and two other resorts in July, but I'm all but convinced that DPB is the place for us. Something would have to be a complete disaster for us to change our mind.

As far as the judge goes, I think the major concern with some of the previous DPB brides (after reading the other thread, I learned a few things is 1) he performs the ceremony in Spanish and it needs to be translated, 2) he has limited availability and can usually only do morning and early afternoon ceremonies (rare evening ceremonies, depending on availability), and then the marriage certificate is in Spanish, so if it ever needs to be presented back in the US anywhere, it would need to be translated into English which can be pricey. Someone posted that you can save roughly $400 by doing the civil union and signing the papers at home and having Pastor Rick conduct the Symbolic Ceremony in DR. Or you can wait, have the symbolic ceremony only, and then have the legal service after your wedding.

And as far as a priest goes, I didn't read anything about him. Just Pastor Rick who performs religious ceremonies as well, and the Judge. Someone also mentioned being married in a cathedral ten minutes from the resort, too.

Oh ok... We wanted to do the sacrament of matrimony.  Nothing against him personally =0)

 

We were going to do a symbolic ceremony and then for our 1 yr anniversary do a catholic ceremony where we live but decided to just do that originally and then just go away for our 1 yr
