god you are organised! We are getting married on Saturday 16th August. I have found my dress, but it is in America, so I'm going to get it specially made here, showing a dress maker the photos of it and maybe making 1 or 2 tweeks! I've got my shoes too.
It's only going to be the 2 of us in Rhodes, so we don't really need to sort anything else out for there, but we will have to start looking for function rooms for when we get home!
As for invites for when we return, I am designing them myself and leaving a space for a wedding photo, then I'll make them when we come home and send them out then, because it is a secret that we are getting married, so we can't send them out any sooner!
Have you been to lindos before?

I'm sure your wedding will be amazing, its still quite small for you, which is similar to how you wanted. It is killing me keeping this a secret, but in a way good because it would be all I'd talk about otherwise! I am hoping that we can tell my parents before we go. I know they won't mind because they have often said to get married abroad. My mum or his mum don't fly either, so they wouldn't have made it anyway. My mates will go mad, but I'm sure that they will understand, because they know I like my space and the thought of all our friends and family with me on my honeymoon would have filled me with dread! So this way, nobody will be tempted to book a sneeky flight over and surprise us.

I'm hoping to get married in Lindos next year. Was wondering if people had booked direct with the hotel or with a travel operator? I've been speaking to First Choice who seemed quite helpful but couldn't take bookings until April. Also they seemed unclear how long had be out there before the wedding if anyone knows this?

I've booked through the hotel itself. We wanted 3 weeks, so just thought it would be easier and cheaper to do it independently. Godd luck!

hi (klin)...the certificate of no impediment thingy!!!!! do you know when you have to organise it?from what my wedding info says to apply for it 3months to the date that you fly back..(does that make sense).so..do you have to make an appointment with the registry office on th exact date 3 months before?????or do you go before then??oh i dont know?? very confused. :que
Reply
Yes, it is confusing, but your wedding co-ordinator will go through everything with you.

hi jendux..we booked through the travel agents that you mentioned...we booked our holiday then we had the wedding package attatched to it but we couldnt pay for it straight away as the prices hadnt been released..we paid £229.00 for the main package... you do get a wedding co-ordinator to help you with any problems that you might hae...although we have contacted the first choice wedding team if we have had any queries/probs...but to be honest apart from not understanding the legal bumf everyting has gone smoothly!!we have chosen st pauls bay,lindos too...it looks gorgeous . :wave:

Great thanks for your help. A friend of mine went to a wedding in Rhodes in Sep & found out this week that was Lindos too! Her friend got married in St Pauls Bay which she said was beautiful too.

Just wondering if you've booked the wedding through the hotel who you sorted flights with? Also for anyone who's booked thro a travel agents were the able to help you with planning the reception or are you waiting until out there to arrange it with the wedding coordinator? The guy I spoke to today in the travel agents seemed a bit clueless to any of my questions!

ooo I'm so excited I could pop! I've just ordered my dress which is being handmade. I found my dress on the internet in America, but it wasn't quite perfect, so I found the most lovely shop near to where I live and went in to have a chat with the prints outs and told the lady exactly how I'd like the dress and she gave me a fab quote, so its ordered! Hows everybody else getting on with dresses? xkx
