Hi everyone,
I was in POP for one week, got married and had a vacation lol It had been a while since I had been back but it felt like home when I go out of the airplane
I was excited to have my husband and family as it was the first time for most of my guests. My husband loved it which means more trips lol
The hotel was very nice I was pleased. We did have some of my family who waited a long time to check in so that was disappointing but I know how it is sometimes lol I had 22 family and friends come.
The wedding day was beautiful and perfect! I had the wedding at the earliest time I could so I could get it out of the way so we could all just relax after Everyone thought it was a great idea. I arrived on Sat and had the wedding on Mon. It was short, sweet and the wedding coordinator was great! I wasn't sure what to expect but it ended up being a great day and we were both extremly happy! We had a lot of fun on our wedding day
FLOWERS- I had a picture of my flowers and they did them exactly the same They did a great job, since I was worried lol
CAKE- It's just a white cake so if you want to decorate it bring stuff. I put some flowers from my centre piece and the cake looked gorgeous!
DINNER- Our dinner was at the Italian restaurant and the food was great! But when you are choosing your dinner ask what exactly the meals are. We picked a balsamic/vinegrette salad. We thought it was going to be a green salad and it ended up being tomatoes with cheese inside and 2 lettuce leaves lol The presentation was great but we wanted a green salad
The table was set up beautifully I was very impressed and the staff were so sweet I tipped them of course!! They were really great to my whole family.
The resort new my whole family it was hilarious, the big Portuguese group lol
PICTURES- The photographer was good, my pictures came out very nice I was surprised. But he doesn't really tell you how to position yourself to ensure you get good photos sometimes. I had a few photos with eyes closed which I think he should of took a second one and sometimes people needed to be positioned closer etc. But I had my paparazzi family with me lol I have tons of pictures. I did a lot of fun pics on the beach after the photographer was done and those are gorgeous!! It helped that my sister had a proffesional camera
I received my fruit plate and two bottles of Presidente the first day we arrived those went down easy lol We also received another fruit plate and Champagne bottle in our room on the wedding day!! Breakfast in bed the next day was very nice too
I loved the music trio, my Dad laughed the whole way walking me from my room to the Gazebo lol
As for the wedding it was great and I would recommend it to anyone at this resort! Amelia the wedding coordinator was very nice!
I won't kill you with too many pictures but I'll post a few later of the wedding as I still have to organize them lol
Now our trip well too short of course isn't it always lol Next time I want to come for two weeks and spend one week to relax and the other to travel around and see some other areas I haven't gone to yet and show my husband around the DR some more!
I did manage to take my husband to Sosua, Cabarete and downtown POP!
He really enjoyed getting out! I will have to write more about that later!! I'll post some vacation pics to follow once I get them on my computer lol
Busy busy settling in to the new home so lots to do lol I will write soon again with the rest of my trip!
