The new Dreams Tulum thread! (Post all DT Qs&As here)

rain, rain, rain!!! what am I going to do? I waited my whole life for my wedding day and its going to rain evey day I'm there. I can't believe I paid all this money to sit in a hotel room and watch the rain. Please God make it stop!!!!!

Please help, I'm starting to plain for option B becasue of the rain. Most likely everything will be moved to inside. Any suggestions of where to have the ceremony and coctail hour? I kinda dont want to use the wedding chapel, but i may not have another choice. I'm so upset, I can't believe this is happening

The chapel is actually super cute- and it is air conditioned, too. I think of all the alternative spots to have your ceremony, the chapel is the best. It will make for great pictures i think! Cocktail hour could be in the lobby bar-- it's really nice up there-- and guests coming & going tend to leave you alone and politely scoot out of the way. Or, i would see if you can get the Mexican Restaurant El Patio for the cocktail hour or reception location. Our reception was moved there because of the threat of rain-- and it was awesome!! It's open, but covered, and i loved it. It sucks that we can't control the weather I know exactly how you feel- i was getting angry at the rain! but if it does rain, at least the plan B places are avail to you no charge, and they are nicer than you think. The night before the wedding, sitting on my balcony in the pouring rain, getting soaked, and trying to calm my nerves-- i had a zen moment where I just acknowledged I couldn't control it, and it would be a great day, rain or not. don't worry!! it's going to be awesome...

also, El Patio is directly across from the chapel, so you wouldn't have to go too far if it does rain...

Hi, I posted this 1 post previous to yours!
We were married on 26th March and our certificate arrived on 1st July so just over 3 months for us. We were also told it could be 4 months which I think is the standard response.

thanks for the advise- I know it's going to be wonderful no matter what- all that really matters is that i get to marry the man of my dreams come rain or shine! I'm doing my best to stay positive.

Im sorry! Keep faith.
I hope and pray it stops raining for your big day!

That's definitely the right attitude! We just got back from our wedding/honeymoon yesterday and were married at DT during Tropical Storm Alex last week... It poured rain for 3 days prior to the wedding day and was REALLY stormy and windy on the day of our wedding but the rain held off so we were still able to get married on the beach, though we did have to sign all sorts of releases in case our guests get hurt due to weather because the Aurora and Anabel wanted to move us indoors. Honestly, worst case scenario, the chapel is very cute and the convention center is large, air conditioned, and can be decorated. And in the week following our wedding, when the weather was perfect, couples still opted for the chapel to stay out of the heat. DT had 2-3 weddings a day over the course of the last week i was there. Don't worry, i will have a REALLY detailed review up in a couple days but let's just say it wasn't the wedding i had planned but we made the most of it and enjoyed (almost) every minute lol

And so it begins!! We sent out our invitations last week. Most got them last Friday and we are already having ppl say they can't afford it. HIS PARENTS!! I told myself i wasn't going to let that thing bother me, friends and extended family not coming, but his freaking parents. He has to deal with it.

Than our agent gave us a price of $2063 for one week, which i think is perfect. But than she says that that deal is over August 27th and the price jumps to $3033. I posted that on our wedding website and ppl are freaking. So i really don't know how many ppl will be at our wedding!! Oh well as long as it's me and him that's all that matters.......

 

I'm sorry to hear about the rain for our upcoming brides!! Best of luck having your perfect day. Stay positive

your giving them over six months to save money! if they really want to go, they'll find a way. Don't stress, i was worried about the same thing- and i have 36 people comming! just remeber its your day so do what you want!
