The best way to stay in touch is to download the WhatsApp app to your device and join the "Watson Love Affair" group chat. Here we will communicate in real time any updates or need to know info. You can also call, video chat, or text Veronica directly @ 770-634-1917 via WhatsApp. Don't even bother trying to contact Larron. His phone is off before we hit the Atlanta airport. :)
Jamaica in October is very similar to our late spring/early fall here in the states. Expect temperatures of 84-89 degrees with an island breeze. Perfect weather for an outdoor celebration of love. October is Jamaica's rainiest month. There may be sporadic rain showers but they are very brief and the sun always shines right after, turning the gray skies blue.
We have opted for themed nights so everyone knows The Watson Crew is together celebrating our love. Please honor the following dress code: Thursday - The Welcome Party: 50 shades of Brown! We want to take some time to great everyone and spend some time for the wedding day. Be as formal or casual as you like for this event. Friday - The Ceremony!! The scene should be green. You can accent with black and/or gold. You should have a color swatch in your invitation for reference. **Note: Our wedding is semi-formal. We encourage you wear cocktail attire. Think cocktail dress or summer evening gown for the ladies. Consider a suit and tie or sports coat and slacks for gentleman. ***Ladies, the bride kindly requests that you PLEASE refrain from wearing white or pale colors that may appear white in photos to any of the scheduled wedding events. Saturday: The Yacht Party - All black swimwear please! Saturday: The Family Dinner - It's your time to shine in all white! Show up and show out! Be as formal or casual as you'd like.
Unfortunately, the rehearsal dinner will be reserved for the bride and groom, our parents, our children, and the bridal party only. VIP bracelets will be provided during the welcome party to guests who will be joining us for the rehearsal dinner.
We know how exciting it is to experience the magic of love. It is natural for many of you to want to capture the moment on your personal devices. Please note that our wedding will be unplugged. This means that we kindly ask that you refrain from using your cellphones for photos or videos before or during the ceremony. Our photographer and videographer are prepared to capture all of the important moments and we'll gladly share them with you once we've gotten our album back. We do, however, encourage you to flick it up at the reception and afterparty! Worry not! There will be a couple of moments throughout the ceremony where the officiant will allow you to snap a pic or two. Please be respectful and wait for those moments to be announced. The unplugged ceremony will be strictly enforced. Those who choose not to comply with our request will be kindly asked to leave the ceremony.
After the ceremony, the Bride and Groom will part for about 30-60 minutes to take pictures. Wedding guests will attend a cocktail and hors d'oeurve hour. Immediately following will be a dinner reception.
Yes. Cocktails, dinner, and dessert will be available.
Yes. While we tried to allow time for guests to explore what we love about this island on their own, we did take the opportunity to plan some of our favorite things to do with all of our guests such as a trip to Push Cart and Patsy's, a welcome party, and a yacht excursion. Please view the "Schedule" tab for all planned events. Note: Scheduled events may require additional fees. Each person is responsible for their own incurred expenses.
Yes. The dinner menu is all inclusive of all dietary options. You are also welcome to enjoy the common area buffet for additional items that accommodate you dietary needs.
Since you are traveling for our wedding, making the trip is a gift in itself - physical gifts are absolutely not necessary! Plus, it will be quite a hassle getting additional items back home. If you do choose to gift us, a contribution toward our honeymoon via our Honeyfund (on-line) or Wishing Well (on-site) will be greatly appreciated.
We are so thankful you will be joining us for this celebration of our love. We appreciate you thinking of us. In lieu of a gift registry, we have opted for Honeyfund registry and will also have a "Wishing Well" at the reception to aide us with our honeymoon expenses as we our transition into our new life as a couple. You can contribute to our Honeyfund via the "Registry" link.

We are elated that so many want to join in celebrating such a special occasion. However, our wedding ceremony is strictly RSVP only. We will only be able to accommodate those listed in your RSVP for all wedding day events. Plus ones are therefore by formal invitation only. We kindly ask that you not bring a plus one beyond who's listed on your invitation. **Exception: You are welcome to travel with a guest companion to help incur travel expenses. However, invitations to the ceremony will remain as invite only.
While we love your little ones, our wedding ceremony and reception will be an adults-only event so everyone can relax and enjoy the evening. For your convenience, the resort does have a family edition which allows accommodations for children and additional adults caring for them while you celebrate with us. The resort also offers childcare services during the wedding festivities so that you can enjoy all adult only events. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time.
We have chosen to wed in an intimate ceremony. A physical invitation has been extended to those we'd like in attendance for the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and after party.
We are so honored to be able to celebrate our wedding day with loved ones who were willing to travel to our favorite island with us. While we chose to have an intimate ceremony limited to immediate family, our after party is open for everyone to join. Electronic Invitations are reserved for those invited to celebrate us at the after party with unlimited cocktails and dancing. We can't wait to party with you! Note: We are working to provide a live stream option for our reception only guests to share in our special day. Once confirmed, we will share details on how to tune in.
Yes. We have worked with our travel agent to secure the best accommodations at the most affordable rate for our guests. A link will be sent to you via email for our resort reservation site where you will be able to secure your accommodations and make payments at your leisure until the balance is paid. Our recommendation is that you stay at the same resort as the wedding to ensure you stay connected for all events. However, if you'd prefer different accommodations, special arrangements can be made. Note: She will also be able to assist in securing your flights if needed.
Yes! We recommend visiting the "Things to Do' page of our wedding website, where we've compiled all our favorite local hot spots and fun things to do in the area, including coffee shops, spas and restaurants to visit before or after the wedding.
We tried our best to address any concerns we thought our guests may have. If there are additional questions, please feel free to call either Larron or Veronica directly. Larron's probably going to call Veronica if you call him so be patient with him... lol. You can also email us. We'll get back to you as quickly as possible. Email: madaboutwatson@gmail.com
