Welcome to the board Ann!

Hello Maria! Wow, those are some great location options you have in mind. Since you are in California, Cabo would definitely be more accessible for you & your guests.

Wow, I feel truly honored to be congratulated with such smiley love! It's a good thing we don't get charged points for using smileys!

YESSSSSSS!!!!!

OK, for the record I'M PLAYING TOO!!

Yeah, this is like freaking brain surgery! I have a feeling this will all become much clearer as we approach DST because it will be a major topic of discussion in the news I'm guessing...unfortunately for you & me that may not be soon enough.

Seriously speaking Tammy...I think it would be nice for you to have a table for signing/fingerprinting etc; as well as any other ideas you have (guest book, pictures, flowers, etc). Are you planning a sand ceremony or something similar? If so, I would definitely go for a table draped simply. If not, then I wouldn't worry about it.

Regarding the canopy situation, there are some crafty people that have actually made their own & brought with them to their DW wedding. I started to look into that but it just seemed like too much for me. Let me take a look & see if I saved any resources for that.

And then on the rose petal idea, it might be cool to do a "circle of love" with the petals. You & Cain would stand inside the circle of petals during your ceremony. I've seen this done at beach weddings & thought it was a nice feature. That way you don't have to worry about where the trail of petals needs to go, cuz it will just wrap right around you two little love birds!

Hee hee hee! I just wanted to give you an opportunity to use that smiley

Hey Tammy,

 

So I think this would be a great question for your coordinator...I know, I know, she's not the best, but maybe after you "slap her around" ??

 

Anyway, another idea if you don't want to rent a table due to high cost, you could always find something at Costco while you are down there. Or, dare I suggest...smuggle a table from the room you are staying in .

 

Am I remembering that you are not allowed to have chairs on Pedregal beach? If so, I'm thinking maybe you can't have a table. Better talk to your Coordinator...

I think at this point we have now come full circle from where this thread started! The big question really is - "will Mexico follow suite when the US leaps forward early next year?" See the response I got from Maye above. I'm planning on sunset being around 7:30 pm for March.

Thanks for the feedback girls! You know the best part? This dress is only $107!! We found it at bestbridalprices.com for anyone who's still looking.

Welcome Jes!

 

Personally, I would avoid trying to arrange travel packages for your whole group thru Expedia or Orbitz. The reason I say this is that generally any travel arrangements made through these sites are very restrictive - so if people need to alter their plans after travel has been booked, they will not have much luck doing so without stiff penalties. My 2 cents

Thanks Jackie, that's exactly what I like about it too is the interesting bodice. I totally did not want a standard BM dress...although this is closely approaching it

Welcome to your newest obsession Candra! How many guests are you planning for?

Good morning ladies. So, I am not having a gaggle of brides maids, just a Maid of Honor. We've been looking at dresses for a while, even ordered a few to try...I think we've finally settled. What do you think? It will be in aqua. I wanted more of a scarf hem, but my MOH thinks she has "kankles" and wants them covered

 

Yes, Tammy, I will be your guinae pig!

Tammy,

OK, if we think about this logically (and without emotion )...the days get longer as summer progresses...so it would make sense that your sunset would be around 8pm.

Hi Delee!

Hi Jennifer...your wedding is fast approaching! Where are you getting married?

Yay Meagan! Thank you sooo much for posting pics. Like all the other ladies have said, WE LOVE PICS! So feel free to show more...

Hello Marie! Wow, so is my interpretation of your post correct - you currently do not have a location for you 12/30/06 wedding?? You are brave!

 

Definitely do a search on WIP, I remember there being some problems with them. I'll see if I can find the thread & post back here for you.

 

Welcome!

I believe Maye actually owns it. When I told her I wanted to use it for our ceremony she said "I will save it for you."

OK Tasha, here's the response I got from Maye:

 

You are right, your sunset is at 7:29 PM

 

 

Hello Alisa!

Thanks Karla! Just what I needed! Crap. See, no, I'm not used to it because we don't spend a lot of time w/his family. We only see them when we travel to Arizona, so it's generally on their terms. Earlier this year one of his older sisters & her hubby renewed their vows (very sweet), but come to think of it the whole church ceremony started like an hour late! But the good part is that they had one hell of a party afterwards, and got up early the next day to make menudo for all of us!

 

I do worry about uninvited people showing up though. We only invited so many people for various reasons, budget being one of them! Actually another one of his sisters rsvp'd on our site & put in that there would be 3 in their party...ummm, does that mean I have to pay for their 5 year old to sit with them? Not something I am excited about dealing with, but I would prefer not to pay $128 for a little girl to not eat any of the food!

 

Aye, aye, aye!~
