But 5 months is def enough time to get ready for your wedding and you;'ll already have completed the next step! Yay!!!

It's going to be great to take the guests off property for an " adventure " and I love the exclusivity of it all. My GF loved Punta Cana and loved it all so it was also exciting showing someone who has never been there.

 

We selected the resort NoW Larimar . Now let me tell you that I went I've there thinking that was the last place if choose. Mainly because the name annoys the F out of me. Lol! But... We loved it. Miss Jali , your resort Barcelo is awesome , very pretty.

 

We just felt that the best thing for our group was something smaller, where you didn't need a train, trolley, or golf carts to get to everything. I can see me now. Taking 20 minutes to get to the beach to have forgotten my book or sunscreen and starting all over again . Lol

 

Meeting with the coordinator at the restaurant was great. She's like an Urban Legend. She's so damn busy all the times that she can't get to Brides in a timely fashion so everyone is out of their minds . So it was good to talk to her in person and clarify a lot . She really is a genius , yet she is overworked so I can only hope she will stick around until my wedding late next year. :0/

 

IBM going to respond to a bunch of the posts I've missed out on so let's see,,

 

I'm so glad to hear that your trip worked out well!  I also am heartened to hear that you feel you've made the right decision in taking your guests off property for an 'exclusive adventure'.  I got some pushback from a family member about having something off resort (their comment: why have a destination wedding at all then???) but I am planning to pay for transportation, so I didn't see what the big deal was.  I cant' wait to trade more notes about doing the off-resort wedding!

I'm waiting until my dress comes in to check out jewelry. The store I bought it from is giving me 20% off anything I buy there now (shoes, accessories, bridesmaid dresses etc) plus an additional 10% credit from my dress price

1. Has anyone purchased or browsed for the sand kit?

2. I should wait to purchase my jewelry until I actually purchase my dress right?

3. Have you seen any deals on the fans? Raffia or the plain ones?

I wanted at least 6-7 months but it happened during our last month to"try", so I will be married carrying a 5 months old. :-) 

 

Its a lot, and the thought of having the baby right before the real planning starts makes me a little nervous but my FH reminds me all the time, "you wanted a baby" we will be alright. 

 

I was waiting a little longer to fess in here but since the subject came around, and since I will be friending a bunch of you on FB and the news is out there... I figure now is the time.

 

I am having the hardest time with choosing a dress, everyone says I will not gain that much weight since I am a healthy eater, but I know I will gain some, so from wanting a mermaid or something figure hugging I am  now in love with ball-gowns. And now I am obsessed with wanting to get a dress ASAP so I can try it on and now where I have to go in weight before the wedding. I will NOT wait after the baby since there is no way I will be in shape to go crazy dress shopping and I haven't gained any weight yet, I actually lost 5 pounds even though my little belly is showing, so I can get a dress, maybe an inch or two bigger and go from there after the baby. I will be exercising like crazy and I am not your gym girl. I hate it!!
