Hi all! I am almost an official Ocean Blue and Sand bride. It's hopefully going to be August 08, 2013! I also have the pricing guide for 2013 if anybody needs it. Now, civil vs. symbolic ceremony is the question of the day. I would like to do both! Has anybody heard of the judge and one of your guest who you want to do the ceremony collaborating? We would like our friend to start off, us do our vows and then the judge do his bit in Spanish! I also considered having the symbolic ceremony at the beach preformed by our friend and then after we o away for pictures have the civil ceremony in the gazebo with our parents and siblings. Anybody done this already or considering it? Thanks for all your help ladies. Turns out this is what the judge says: Dear Friends and Family, We are gathered here today with the objective of uniting in a civil marriage Sheri and Edward who have decided to change their civil status from single, to the honourable status of being married. Marriage is an institution; it is an admirable status which has its origins in the solemn contract celebrated between one man and one woman, who of their own free will… wish to marry, with the object to love, honour and care for each other mutually. To celebrate this marriage, it is necessary that there is no opposition, if anyone here knows of any legal reason to prevent this event, must speak now or remain in silence forever. Edward do you take Sheri as your legitimate wife, do you promise to love her, honour her, care for her and protect her in the good times and the bad times, in richness and in poverty, in sickness and in health?. As a sign of this promise, please place the ring on Wedding finger of your bride Sheri do you take Edward as your legitimate husband, do you promise to love him, honour him, care for him and protect him in the good times and the bad times, in richness and in poverty, in sickness and in health? As a sign of this promise, please place the ring on the wedding Finger of your groom. I, Juan Julio Rijo, official of the civil State of Punta Cana, have heard from Edward & Sheri their wish to marry, and having heard no opposition to their marriage, having met with all the legal requirements needed by the Matrimonial Law in the Dominican Republic, on Tuesday Decemeber 9th 2008 and in front of the witnesses, I declare you, husband & Wife.

Hey guys! I just started looking at destination weddings and one of our options is Ocean Sand & Blue for August 2013! Do any of you know if you can do the reception at the beach? Also, how about additional flowers, they only give you flowers for one table? And has anybody been quoted a price from Toronto for 2013 for a week. Phew, this is my first go at 1) ever writing on a forum 2) thinking about destination weddings 3) starting to plan! You guys seem like seasoned pros now! Thanks for all your help!
