I feel better after reading all of your responses, and talking to my mom of course. It will work out, I have a feeling will be moving the wedding up! All that means is less time to wait! <3

I feel really bad for you. I moved my wedding date up because of prices too. I wouldn't tell them anything until you know exactly what your agent says. Doesn't make sense to have them in limbo worrying and not knowing what can be done. Maybe you can let them know when you have a solution

Ladies, I've been trying to email Samuel Luna on his website but it keeps getting rejected saying "error". His email is not listed. Does anyone have his direct email?

This might be too late for you but my TA says that the room rates will go down for the Jan dates. I am looking at the same time too. It is what is known as the "soft season" not high season. It is in between Christmas rush and Spring breaks and usually a good time to go. Just have faith and be patient and you can have everything that you want! The rates just came out and they always are published really high at first but WILL drop. Hang in there!

We were hoping for Real around 300 a night for our guests that don't have a huge budget just for our wedding. They are listed at $574/night! I can't ask my guests to pay that. We have 11 people including ourselves with flights booked. My first thought was if I can't find anywhere in the price range I'll need to take a loan and pay all of these people back.

Now I'm looking at the first week in Dec which is still in the price range, I don't think it's major to us to move the wedding up a month...

My question is now all of these people with flights booked, would it be possible to just move the dates ahead...or would they be out the money and have to pay again?

I thought DW was supposed to be easier than a regular wedding!!!!!

You had people book their flights already?
Don't panic! I know it is stressful but a DW isn't easier than a regular wedding. I thought that too. But it really all does come together and you just make it work in some magical way. I wouldn't have any more of your guests book though until you figure out exactly what you are doing. It will cause more stress on you and them. Get yourself situated first with your booking, then have them book. You definitely need to talk to your TA, since it is early maybe they can work something out. The cost will definitely come down. Mine went up but it was because of the time of year I am going.

Our group is so small (so far) that I'm not doing any numbers.

I love the sex on the beach ;-)

Ladies, do you all have any guests who are nervous about the violence in Mexico? One of my BM (a very close cousin) told me she wasn't gonna make it because of the violence! I'm so pissed!

Tell your cousin to pull out a map and look at it. Trust me, where you are going to be is FAR away from any violence. Plus the resort area is gated off. You won't have to worry about it and she shouldn't either. I had some guests that were concerned but I pulled up a map and showed them how far away they were and they felt better.

I've already done that...That's why I think her whole backing out is some BS!

I was worried when I first changed the date, but was surprised that people were actually GLAD that i changed it.

And yes...I was stoked that I got to marry FI sooner! (I always felt like a 2010 bride anyway ;-)
