She's from WI so not sure how she'll enjoy the 90 degree weather. She's my very favorite person in the world and want her very much to be there, but don't want her to be uncomfortable. any suggestions? hi angela, steves 86 year old grandma came and loved it! she had just had knee surgery so she had trouble walking around but once we got her to a spot she had a great time with everyone....actually there were a few older folks with health probs in mexico and they had a great time

don't worry julie, they will come...i remember when jackie was the only RM bride and Ann was the only PV bride...(this was like 2 months ago)...

we did it! http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t1035 we used redrum based on the recommendation of yachtmerchant on tripadvisors. it has a 10 person boat (alot of other places were smaller)

cabo resorts are more open to allowing outside vendors. some of the stricter resorts will have a preferred vendor list. Riviera maya is alot stricter about this.

welcome to the forum...there are a few dreams PV brides on here. let us know how we can help.

san francisco is not far?

Happy Birthday Miss Jackie!!

welcome to the forum. where do you want to get married? how many people are you expecting? if you know which resort you can book the date now. best to book early to get the date you want.

welcome to the forum sandi! someone is always going to have a say about your wedding whether it is a DW or traditional local wedding. its not like you are putting a gun to their head and forcing them on the cruise ship!

i'm going to go out on a limb here...i think if you can, it is best to have your guests stay in one spot. i think it really dilutes the experience of a DW if they are all staying in different areas. one of the main reason we had a destination wedding was so our friends and family could spend time with us and each other. it was such a great way for us all to get to know each other better. my parents and his parents are so fond of each other now. we loved having our meals together, lounging by the pool together, the ladies doing a spa day together, the younger group went out together. then throw in the fact that you are trying to get a large group of people together and have them navigate around a town that they are unfamiliar with and do not know the language, i think you are causing a stressful situation. in an ideal situation, you would have all those details taken care of for them so they really just need to show up. Keep in mind transportation can get expensive....the $40 a day they spent on cabs could have gone to a better resort. i think for anac, your family speaks spanish so it doesnt really apply. sherri and tammym your groups are so small it is different as well... i really think if you are thinking a group of 20 or more it is just better...or at least have them only stay at 1 or 2 resorts that are fairly near each other. my 2 cents.

no one wants to share their secrets...

mariaelena and janet had hair/make up people...mexsun is one that was referred but i am not sure how reliable they are.

I think my grandparents would have a heart attach otherwise We were targeting April 26 or May 3 of 2008 but if spring break ends then I would like to marry earlier in the month of April (like 2nd week or so). thx you are pretty safe after april 15th. PB sunset, PB rose all have rates around $175-200 per night range. I think they are a really good value for what you get for your $$. there are a few PB brides getting married this year.

brenda, jenneta (JPMO) above has great decoration ideas...look in her pics galleries to check them out (use the link in her profile)

hi everyone, luckily we were both driving like 10 miles an hour...i tried to swerve out of his way and break but we hit. it is just such a PITA now with getting a rental, etc. etc. and such a waste of $$....luckily the guy is one of the wealthy hippies type.

welcome to the forum claudia...you las caletas brides are taking over...marfa is getting married there pretty soon and it will be so exciting to hear all the details and see pics!! let us know how we can help!
