June 2011 Brides: Roll Call

[AfricanVenus]

Just looking for some brides that're hitting up PV in June. Here are the rules: Answer these two questions: What's your date? Where are you marrying? And....what made you pick your date? I'll start!

 

My date is June 25 at Grand Velas Vallarta in Nuevo. I chose this date because it would mark our second anniversary, it was on a Saturday, and it's in the low season, which means cheaper!

Hi OP!

I'll be getting hitched in PV on June 7th! At Dreams Puerto Vallarta. We chose the date because in Canada, when you go to Mexico it is via a week-long charter flight. So we are going down to PV on the 4th... so we picked a day a few days after that! Not much significance, I'm afraid.

 

And yes...we picked June because it was WAY CHEAPER too!

My date is June 18th at Dreams Puerto Vallarta.  I'm a teacher so I am out of school and so is my daughter.  Cheaper also.  Sarahinlove..we will be there at the same time!!!

That's awesome that you two will be there at the same time. Maybe you could trade tips! Sarahinlove, explain to me this week-long charter flight situation. What does that mean?

Hi! I am getting married June 13th at Dreams Puerto Vallarta! There is not really any significance to the date. We just wanted to make sure that everybody was out of school, and we like the number 13.

Hey AfricanVenus!

Well, it goes like this. In Canada it is really popular to take a "hot holiday" in the winter to escape the cold. However, places like Mexico and the Carribean are pretty far away to go for a weekend. And the flights/hotels are really expensive. So, there are a handful of companies that have emerged that offer charter "vacation packages" to all inclusive holidays in the south. It is WAY cheaper than booking everything yourself. They are usually for 7 or 14 days, and you pay one price, which includes flights, transport to hotel, and the all inclusive hotel stay. So, for example, we are going to Dreams PV in June, the very end of the season for these charters (most of them have stopped running for the season). The charter flight leaves from a major city called Calgary. All my friends/family get on a plane in their city wherever they live and fly to Calgary. There, we all meet up in Calgary and the charter flight takes us to PV, and drives us to the hotel. For a one week all-inclusive holiday including hotel AND airfare, my guest are paying $1200 including taxes and fees. If we didn't go via a charter company, the flights alone would have cost more than that. So its a pretty sweet deal!

That's awesome. Your guests are certainly doing better than mine in the cost department, lol. They're looking at $1250-$1400 for 3 nights!

How're the June brides doing? Time is moving fast!
