Hello!  My name is Annmarie and I am officially a bride to be in Buffalo, NY.  My fiancé Ron and I got engaged in August of '07 on a golf course in Western NY at a family function.  He actually proposed to me unannounced with my entire family front and center.  Lucky for him he had every reason to be overconfident - after about a minute of stone cold shock, I managed to squeak out a yes before I started to cry.  After 6 years of dating, two apartments, our first home, and a crazy dog, we are finally making it official. :)

Our planning began slowly, as we decided to have a long engagement and tie the knot in May of '09 - now just 8 months away!  One of the line items we agreed upon immediately was that we wanted to get married on a beach somewhere gorgeous.  I threw the idea out to my giant family to get an idea of how they felt about our non-traditional idea, and we received overwhelming support (with a few exceptions).  That is when we started tossing around the idea of a destination wedding.  I began to call some travel agents and do a little research online - both of which were overwhelming.  There are just so many avenues you can take!  Not long after my initial frustration, my new boss at work mentioned Destinationweddings.com.  He and his wife went through the site and got married in the Dominican Republic a few years ago and had nothing but GREAT things to say about their experience.  I knew when I went home that night that my first stop online would be destinationweddings.com...
