[quote][b]smurf993 (5/9/2008)[/b][hr]OKay, so i am dying for more details seeing as we were these sooo close together. when did you arrive? when did you leave? what did you do while there? what did you like the most? was there anything that you didn't like?[/quote]

Hey Smurf!! I'm still catching up on everything and haven't seen your pics yet!!

We arrived in MoBay on April 19. 35 of our friends and family were at Silver Sands for the first week. We got married at the end of that week (April 25). Then we had the second week all to ourselves. We also had the beach to ourselves, as Silver Sands was so quiet! It was great.

We had AMAZING food the whole time. We climbed Dunns River Falls the first week (first time I'd ever climbed it!! haha). And the second week we went on the horseback riding/swimming adventure, which was fun and relaxing. We also went to Kingston for a day in the second week to visit some of my family who couldn't make it to Duncans.

I loved EVERYTHING about the entire trip. I can't say enough good things about the villa staff and everyone who was there helping us and setting everything up. The weather was fantastic.

I think I liked the relaxed, quiet nature of the beach/Silver Sands the most. It was great to just unwind with friends and family and soak up the rays!!

What about you? I want to hear your stories!

Our professional shots just came in!!! I've narrowed the 300 down to a few that I like the most. Unfortunately CB's downsizing of the photos doesn't do them justice.

The ceremony setup

The newlyweds

Wedding party

The entire group

Us on the beach outside of our villa (not the main swimming beach)

Wedding party again

And again

Us again

Paradise, we use to travel to Silver Sands as a family when I was really little. It's an amazing place to go. It's a completely different experience from a resort, but I love it! I hope you get to go... Enjoy!

You can share pics on Facebook by opening your Facebook photo album and at the bottom of the page in small writing there is a "public" link you can copy and paste here and everyone can see them whether they have Facebook or not! :)

I cant wait to see more pics![/quote]

Hmm I tried looking at the bottom of the photo album page, but couldn't find what you described. Maybe because the pics were posted by my cousin and I'm just tagged in them? Oh well... I'll post more when I get professional pics. I'll also have a bunch from a friend of mine who might as well be professional they're so awesome at taking pics!

Thanks for the congrats :) Everything was amazing. We so didn't want to come back! haha[/quote]

Yes, if it's your cousin's album on Facebook then he/she'd have to open the album and copy the link from the bottom. Then everyone who has the link will see the album, whether they're on FB or not (and whether they're your cousin's friend or not). Hope this helps.

Gorge photos, BTW. Congrats!

I take it that you solved your MOH dress dilemma?!.....:)[/quote]

Yes :) My MOH and bridesmaid both brought the two different dresses to Jamaica, but the original choice still looked best on both of them. I think my MOH was just over-reacting. I think she looked great!

Darn I was worried about that.

Here are some pics. They're not the best and are kind of blurry. I'll post more when I get better ones :)

As you'll see it was REALLY windy that day. At least it kept us all somewhat cool!

Hi Shmez,

The link didn't work. I think you will have to share the album with everybody, otherwise only your friends can see it.

Looking forward to seeing you pics! Glad you had an amazing time!!!

Shmez — Mon, 05 May 2008 13:20:20 GMT

Hey girls,

DH (first time writing that!!!) and I are back from our DW in Jamaica. We had such an amazing time. I'm so sad to be back to "reality". I go back to work officially tomorrow, and am dreading it.

But, in the meantime, I thought I'd give you all a bit of a taste of our pics. These are some non-professional pics taken by my cousin who lives in Jamaica. Not sure when we'll get the professional ones.

I hope this link works. If it doesn't, does anyone know how to get links to pics on facebook to work?
