destination wedding questions, sorry a lil long

[FINFAN]

They practically LIVE disney--her future husband works there, they got engaged at Poly,they are at disney all the time, heck her ring is even in the shape of mickey...Personally I think they should go back to Poly, i'm sure there are locations around the resort that they could do a wedding at, that way guests can fly down to FL, stay anywhere near WDW and more ppl will be able to attend...they know for sure they do NOT want to do it at the disney wedding pavilions..Plus this way everyone can share in something they LOVE and those who don't wanna go to disney can do other things nearby..but you are exactly right i think she will be a bridezilla, she's already highstrung lol

would love to see a pic of her ring!

I agree with this. It's pretty presumptuous of her to think that people will even want to save for two years to attend her wedding.

I am not the OP and this is my opinion only....
DD is getting married in Montego Bay, Jamaica in May. The entire wedding party was informed of the cost involved before they were asked to be a part of it, no one said no. In fact we have more people attending then we thought we would and the "Save the Date" cards with the actual booking info haven't even been sent out to everyone yet.
DD & her fiance chose this location for their wedding knowing that it would be small and that is fine with them. It is their wedding and they planned it to please themselves, not anyone else. They would have been happy if it had just been my husband & I attending, the added guests make it even better. They are having a reception at home when they return, but it will also be quite small. I guess everyone is entitled to plan their own wedding!
As far as a Disney wedding being cheaper for the guests, that all depends. The trips we have taken to Jamaica have been MUCH cheaper then our Disney trips.

It goes a bit beyond Kingston. Neighbouring Spanish Town in St Catherines Parish recently took the lead for murder rate in Jamaica.

Fly directly to/from Montego Bay. Do not even connect through Kingston.

I assume the bride and groom are both American. If not, they need to confirm requirements for legalizing their Jamaican marriage so it will be recognized in their home country. Some countries require the couple to come to their embassy in Kingston for the formalities.
