Thanks! i am really keeping my eye out for when the non-beta software will be released. i dont want to add anything that will cause the forum to run funky but think it will be such an asset to you brides so this is a top prioroty for me and the forum.

i paid about $40 and it included lunch. it was a sailing and snorkel tour...they took your to lover's beach, arches, then snorkelling. the lunch was really good and it was all you can drink...JT Watersports - Cabo San Lucas Mexico

i had 50+ people and did it for about $14k including travel but not including wedding/engagement rings and my dress but that also included a welcome dinner

you can pm me whatever you want

i saw the rooms and took some pics but i forgot my digital so these need to be developed...they look great. it is all cosmetic: paint new furniture etc. so there isnt much loud noises. i was told all rooms would be completed by august (they are behind...it was supposed to be may)

i was there and it was beautiful...sarah did an amazing job,....she is the DIY queen...she also went away for a loooonnnngggg time with juan to take pics so i am sure there will be a ton. edyta took a bunch of pics as well

i'll look for a mahjong one...let me try to find one.

I love ths resort!!! Good luck Tara!! I can see why your FH likes it so much. dreams has over 300 rooms...who told you 70?

what about private villa's...the next time i go to jamaica, i am gonna rent a few private villa's for my family...the cost is less than hotels and they are AI and have their own chef, bartender at each willa...there are 4-5 villa's clustered together and it was like $200-300 per room per night (most villa were about 5 rooms).

the WC can be a little difficult to get a hold of but i have always heard the weddings go off perfectly...it is the slow communication that can be a pain. i think the beach is really beautiful.

Let's all congratulate our member, Leigh for having her beautiful work recognized on theknot.com... way to go Leigh!! Leigh Miller Photography

Seemed way_too_easy. We were even looking around for reviews to see maybe if it was so easy because bad reviews caused a low point in reservations there or something but from what I've read here, it's quite a reputable place w/successful weddings for all involved. We're waiting to hear back from Tammy regarding planning and hoping that at this point, the rest is cake mix? We're trying to think of things we may have missed in asking the WC (Yesica) to make sure we were set on this day. The only thing I could think of is that the ceremony will most likely be held at the Gazebo as opposed to beach because another couple has 'tentatively' planned their ceremony on the beach. We can only hope that the other couple maybe gets married earlier than our pre-sunset time slot? Does anyone know of another couple married in their Gazebo? We're hoping to find some pictures. Thanks! Claudia hi claudia, i'll call you tonight if you are on or first thing in the morning...

mariana will handle everything for you...she's good at that.

honestly, i would have killed to do the dance from "Dirty Dancing"...the one with jennifer grey and patrick swayze, where she runs and he lifts her up...i have secretly fantasized about doing it...am i a dork? but really, i wouldnt do it to put it on youtube...just to live out my own fantasy but not as a first dance
