We are back!!! I swear I thought maybe I saw Anna and Mandy around -but I didn't want to sound creepy going around asking people if they were on a forum- hehe....

I am working on some non-pro pictures- and my review- we just got back late last night. All in all, it was amazing. I loved the resort, the people at the resort, the on site WC's were incredible-- it was just fabulous!!

I have zero regrets about our DW- and about having it at EDR.. :)- more to come later......

I have tomorrow (Thursday) off work, and am going to go to SS office and DMV, etc, but am going to work on Friday and will post my review on Friday :)

I did post some of our "wedding week" pictures on Snapfish- if you want to check them out- just PM me. There aren't any of the actual wedding day- we didn't take any with our camera since we had Cancun Studios there, but if you want to kinda see pix of resort, room, beaches, pools, etc-- just PM me with your email address and I'll "share" the albums with you!

Hopefully, I'll get some pix from Cancun Studios from the actual wedding, soon- we were super super happy with our photographer and how smoothly everything went with them-- made me even more excited about the pix! :)

Welcome Back Shannon & Congratulations!!!! I'm so happy everything went great for you. It sounds wonderful. I'm happy to hear you were pleased with Cancun Studios. I'm leaving in 2 days and finishing my music...last minute. I can't wait to see your photos and chat more about your DW @ EDR.

Shannon, when did you get there again? I thought I might of saw you in the lobby when we were leaving. Again I didn't want to go up to a random stranger and ask about BDW. heh. :) We left the 14th and were in the lobby around 9:30 am.

My pro-pics are up and posted here:

We're back! Everything was beautiful. I'll write my review later. A few quick things though:

Both of my parents were pretty sick for 4-5 days. All we can figure out was they were the only ones to eat at Rincon Mexicana. A few other people had problems, but no one else longer than a day.

I didn't wear a veil, and I don't know how any of your girls did! It was sooo windy, esp at Gazebo 55.

Everything went very smoothly with the wedding and the coordinators (well, they were late picking me up, but they said it was because they were waiting on my guests. I think they were just running on "Mexican time").

Shannon, DH and I (and my parents) peeked in on your wedding. You were absolutely beautiful!! And did we see you having a dinner on the beach the next night? DH and I peeked in on Anna at her reception. I wish we all could have gotten together! Funny story, the entire time my dad could only remember Anna's name, so anytime he came across anyone with an English accent, he would ask if they knew Anna! Finally he met one of her friends. Very nice people!
