Dreams Tulum, November 1 - 8, 2008

Hi everyone, as directed I am posting to say hello and let you know about my big date coming up!

Jody & Steve from Vancouver, B.C. CANADA (current ages 33 and 36, first time marriages for both of us!)

Wedding date(s) and location: November 1 (civil ceremony with limited attendance on the way to the airport) and November 5, 2008 (symbolic ceremony with friends and family) in Dreams Tulum, Riviera Maya

We, or maybe I should say *I* (lol), selected Dreams Tulum as we originally were selecting from locations that offered direct flights from Vancouver, B.C. - Jamaica, parts of the Bahamas and Mexico. It was soon apparent that Mexico had the best variety of choices for resorts available and that Dreams was the best choice for us as we likely had a couple of cousins that were teens attending at the wedding, which ruled out an adults only location.

We haven't fully decided on where we will be spending our honeymoon week, but El Dorado which is nearby is a very strong candidate. After some more research on the net, a decision will be made. Looking forward to reading about all of your experiences following a lot of your guidance and suggestions.

First thing I learned from browsing this site was a "sand ceremony" is a must for our symbolic wedding. Perfect thing for a beach wedding! Thanks everyone for taking the time to share your stories, much appreciated!
