Azul Sensatori Brides - POST HERE!

Oh I hate that stage of planning!!!! I really really hated it!!!! But you get through it, so while you have to hear it (everyone has guests that say the rudest things - realziing it or not), know that it will soon be over.

 

I was a tad on the ruder side to people ---- I said "Mark & I always wanted a small wedding and so having it in Mexico will allow us to have one. Otherwise if it was in Maryland everyone would come!" So, basically an IN YOUR FACE. hehehe

 

 

 

 

First of all, besides our catamaran trip, I think I was in the ocean once the week in Mexico. So, worst case you stay in the pools. If that's the worst case, then no biggie at all!

 

Secondly, the Gulf Stream does not flow down into Mexico. I suppose currents could change, but I am pretty sure its more likely to hit Cape Cod than it would Mexico & South America.

 

My best response to that would be "Anything could happen, and yes I am concerned about it, but I cannot do anything about it. I don't want to focus on things I have no control over because the wedding stress levels would be out of control. So I am thinking positive thoughts and at worst case, we don't swim in the ocean and instead enjoy the pool bars all day!!"

 

Remind people that their comments are making you stressed! I did that even when they did not and eventually most people

Great advice about what to say to the nay-sayers. I too had a couple of those (and I believe even more behind closed doors). My FI's mom who couldnt be a sweeter lady actually said she was nervous and upset with our choice after we put our deposit down. Apparently MX is too dangerous for her. Hello, she lives in TX. She should know that the Cancun area is just fine. Anyway, great advice and really this is about you two! My FI and I made a ton of sacrifices to have a wedding in MX. (My dream is really on a vineyard) but considering everyone's finacial place and how much money we could spend, an AI was so important to us. Then we had to find a place that was kid friendly (we have an 11 month old) and the list goes on and on....so at the end of the day it is about us, not the place, not the people.

 

Amy, THANK YOU so much for the word about the oil spill. I really didnt mean to come off as selfish but it was yet another thing that I had to worry about. And you know as well as I do, there's far too much to worry about when planning. Now I can move on and re-focus on scratching somethings off my to-do list. AHH!!!

Seafood prices have gone up, stuff that we're used to having at our fingertips is becoming harder to find but nothing that is affecting my daily life. Now I'm not discrediting the fact that this is a big deal, many people are suffering financially from it all, but I honestly didn't take MX into consideration when thiking about the oil spill. It scary because I think things will get worse before they get better, but like your TA said, you can't really predict what the case will be in Oct. So, I would say be mindful of it but don't stress. There's not much you can do about it anyway. I kinda view it the same way I view a hurricane hitting. All I can do is hope and pray it won't affect us all.

MY BM's are wearing Mori Lee too! Different style though and metallic sage. I think that they are great dresses for the price. Nice choice!

 

Thanks for the note about the oil spill. You are absoutly right and I am going to view it the same way. And my prayers are with your region. I love New Orleans! And you guys deserve much better than this!

I just looked at my wedding ticker and saw that it's 1 month, 1 week and 1 day til the wedding. I'm still waiting for the "excited bride" feeling to kick in. We're having a pre-wedding meet and greet this weekend so I'm sure I'll get the feeling then. Time is flying. I'll be in Mexico sooner than I think!
