That is a great price for all you will get, way to go!!!!

Thanks!!! I think the price is pretty good too It may go up a little for 2009 but not too much. I want to see if I can add on to the photography package, 48 pictures doesn't seem like much. Otherwise, I think it's great! After the mini reception we can all go back to the resort for our wedding dinner. I'm going to see how much it will cost to have a private dinner. If it's a lot then we can just have a group dinner in one of the restaurants, no biggie. Then we can head out later to the nightclub on the resort to celebrate!

Hey Maureen!

Congrats!! That looks sooo gorgeous! I think you made a GREAT choice! And you're definitely getting ALOT for that price!!
