Kingston,Jamaica

[CharlieD10]

Good morning, good people and TGIF!!! Another week closes, one more day for KG to get a move on with some more reunions before the weekend. Let's GO, KG, let's GO!! NNNEEEXXXTTT!!

Suki, yes, there is a Dayquil. I actually use it all the time because Nyquil knocks me down hard! I hope you are feeling better today, though!

Channy - Iberostar Rose Hall is massive. It's a Spanish hotel, and they tend to have very competitive all-inclusive rates, so the wedding package should also be priced within a decent range. Hotels usually have a standard package for weddings, and then you can "add-on" extras depending on your vision, so be sure to ask for a base quote.

Happy Friday everyone! Kingston, you have two more days to reunite people with their loved ones for valentines!

Channy: Here's the breakdown on nice places to have your wedding in JA.
Kingston
Terra Nova is a really nice hotel to have your wedding and reception.
The UWI Chapel is nice and Chapel makes for a nice backdrop for pictures.

If you're going the resort route:
The Hilton in Montego Bay is a nice hotel, the outside as your driving in does it no justice, but once you get in the doors, you'll fall in love.
Grand Palladium is beautiful as long as your wedding is under 50, they can handle it.
Ritz Carlton another really nice hotel, but if you're looking to book for this year, you should have booked already.

A little poetry to get us in the mood, courtesy of Elizabeth Barrett Browning....
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

Hi Everyone!

I havent posted here in awhile... It's funny how you come to the end of something but you still feel connected enough to come and check for updates... ( forum) This forum took up so much of my time that I guess it's normal to come back and check up on things. So many new people, names that i don't recognize. I wish everyone the best!

Charlie... why are you still here?!! You really need to get some sort of update!!!! ;D

So last time I posted I let everyone know I was expecting! Yay... still am... lol. 10 weeks to go. How time flies! I waited for my husband for 9 months which felt like forever... being pregnant for almost 9 months feels like time has just flown by so fast!!! Im very excited!

I got triggered to post again because I saw Suki's picture and its sooooo pretttty! I love photos ;D I want too see more photos of peoples weddings!!! ;D ;D ;D

Love, Love the poem!

ok have to post, my favorite wedding pic!! ohhhhh I miss hubby!!

Beautiful wedding pic. I am lucky, that I am in Canada with my Hubby. I miss Miami Though. 8)

 

[CharlieD10]

Hey and good afternoon, everyone!

Sanchester! Congrats on the growing baby bump, enjoy every minute of this very special wait! At least you know when it'll end, right? Haha, I am still here, cause KG is in no hurry with me, I guess. At least others are seeing progress, so I'll take that until my time comes!

That is a great poem, LSSO, always been a favourite of mine, nice to see it shared here.

Haha, vivam, count your blessings and just think how great Miami will look and feel next time you go back there! ;D

 

[Mrslwsn]

Suki, I muss b THE only one here who has yet to see these beautiful wedding pics lol...the one yu have posted here is stunning, sooooo loving!!!! ...Hey guys...just here on di preeeee

 

[Mrslwsn]

Oh by the way all those wedding locations are soo nice, but they were not anywhere near our budget, so if anyone wants to do a more low key cheap wedding in Mobay, I suggest Brandon Hill Guesthouse, the garden is nice, nothing fancy like the hilton, but trust me we got our money worth. But I would suggest this more for ppl who are comfortable in a local setting or have no high expectations. Link me for more info, one of my good friends works there as well..
