Dreams Puerto Aventuras Brides - POST HERE!

Hehe probably a good idea to have it in bold just in case. If you were getting married this april, I'd just be leaving the day you were getting married. But I'm sure by next year you'll have a couple gals from this site there at the same time!!

And I agree with you that I'm not able to get my head wrapped around $$ like that for such simple setups and decorations. I know it's a service thing, but I'd find some way to construct my own arch for that price!!!!

Agreed!!! I'm starting to worry that I haven't at all been keeping track of the extra costs for things that I maybe have forgotten about! We haven't asked too much along the way so far though so maybe I'm just imagining a huge scary bill that won't actually be received!

I really didn't know the difference between the caribbean trio and the mariachi trio. Jaci gave me this link to check out the caribbean trio.

YouTube - trio clasicos *

Wow, I can not imagine your excitment levels at this time. Im 39 days away from leaving and I have a bajillion things to do still. Hope you have the most fabulous day you could have dreamed of. Cant wait to hear all about it when you get back.

Jaci told me that most brides have the trio play during the cocktail hour. I think that is what we're doing. iPod for ceremony, trio for cocktail hour, iPod for reception. Now I just have to convince the hotel not to charge for the speaker system, I figured other brides did I should be able to! Lol

I asked Jaci instead of having a dessert (because we'll have a wedding cake) could we have a second appetizer and she said that was fine. She seems really flexible with switching this for that, thus far.

I was also wondering about El Patio for a group dinner I was told the only restaurant that they could offer for groups over 15 is the buffet restaurant and you have to get there at opening time to reserve... Has anyone with a group reserved El Patio before? I thought in previous forums searches brides had!

Last night while browsing Hobby Lobby, I saw a "wedding arch" that was a metal one you put together for $30. It was all boxed up. If I decide I want an arch, it would be waaaay better cost-wise to pack that and some fabric to hang on it in a suitcase, PAY for the suitcase, and bring it all back home. If it ends up being something I have to have, that's what we will do. )

Yah if you don't mind the extra stuff to take down with you then that's totally great that you have an option! And then you know for sure it would look exactly the way that you want it to!

Thanks for this...I didn't either!!

Dee-
I think we leave the same day...the 21st?

Congrats Rainfall!!

Haha yes we sure do girl. I am trying not to panic and make lists so I am somewhat organized. Im flying Air Canada. What about you?
