EDYTA

CONGRATS!!!!! ur pics are beautiful and u made a stunning bride...sry i might have missed this but what resort this u stay at? also which church was ur blessing at? im going through all the paper work to get married at the catholic church in san jose and its driving me crazy...it's so important to my parents that i get married in a catholic church (they r very religious as ur family) but i agree it is such a hassel grrrrrrrrr

So I went for my first dress fitting today YAY it was so much fun..so here are some pics...this is pre-alterations will post after alterations in a few weeks original monique lhuillier dress that i was originally going to get but found this similar one for half the price It will be changed into a sweetheart neckline

Maybe I could model riding clothes or something like that. Hey- that's what I need to find, some sort of sexy riding (horseback riding for those of you with dirty minds) outfit. Or, maybe a naughty nurse outfit- lol. Ok, I'm going to stop because I'm getting carried away with naughtiness. My goal is CLASSY pictures, not skanky! hehe I'm so jealous of u 2 sounds like it's gonna b a blast

It's a great website, I should spend some time and try to decide for sure what WE are going to do! I'm hoping that after my site visit next month I'll have a better idea of what is available down there... lol ya right me making a decision...but i am leaing towards using the idea from the first pick i posted...the lime green decor but i will probably use less green...i just love their ideas on the site so i will probably end up using something from there...o before u leave for ur site visit i wanted to talk 2 u was wondering if u could possibly bring back for me...ill pm u

I'm sorry that this is happening to you, as for the tax and gratuity I guess there is no way around it but as for them offering those 2 nights and now saying u can't have them that is just wrong...I agree with Christa's post you gotta be aggressive if that doesn't do anything I would write a letter to the manager or GM...hope it works out for u

I am using Juan he's amazing check out his site Juan Carlos Tapia Photography I also would highly recommed Leigh...Ann's photographer

Issue #2 Our other key concern is ensuring that Cabo is an affordable destination for our guests. Even though we are looking at AI packages for them, Cabo isn't that cheap when coming from Toronto Canada (we're seeing AI pkgs starting at $1500 and up). Do you know if travel agents are helpful in arranging group AI discounts for large wedding parties such as these (we are planning to contact someone at selloffvacations.com and maybe agent at Flight Centre). Anyone out there that's had to plan a DW with this many guests? Recommendation on places/locations that will be able to accomodate? Thanks!! Darlene and Manoj Hi Darlene I don't know how I missed this thread but am really late to this converstaion...i am also from Toronto and am getting married in 3 1/2 months at Dreams in cabo and my guests are paying $1800 (this includes taxes) for 1 week AI regarding ur group rate question...selloffvacations does do group rates but its not a great deal ur only saving about $50-$100 per person (i looked into all this because I was gonna do it that way as well...at the end of it it justs turns out to b more of a hassel talking to them about getting a group rate than actually paying the regular price I saw that u are planning on getting married april 20, 2008...that is a great time leaving from toronto caus most places are cheaper...i don't know if ur willing to look into PV or punta cana but they have some great prices....u can probably find $1200 per person take a look at this resort...its an iberostar property in La romana dominican and its very beautiful on the smaller side with a lot of privacy and ur looking at around $1200-$1300 http://www.iberostar.com/EN/Bayahibe...icus_3_73.html in PV the riu properties are great also...I stayed at the Riu Jalisco and really liked it but a bunch of people have said negative things about it which i disagree with but a new riu property just opened up next door and is beautiful...Riu Vallarta Hotel*Puerto Vallarta, Mexico*Hotel Riu Vallarta hope this helps email me if ud like more info...good luck

First step is deciding on the background u want to use...o my this took me hours lol...i looked at it so far and it looks great can't wait to see the rest

im a full out waxer but wanted to do laser but heard that it hurts....kate it didn't hurt at all?

Katie wow u don't have a lot of time do u? sry I don't know that much about the resort but maybe Tammy (host) or Jackie can help u more...how many people u expecting?

So excited for you. -Glenda Honestly I haven't even decided on colours...but have purchased bridesmaid dresses that are a champagne ivory colour so i will use that colour and than my FI is using lime as his groomsman's shirts so will use that and hmmm maybe through in some orange in there...haven't really decided but will let you know

Not a problem, I was so happy when I found this site cause it's exactly what i want...good luck with picking

You guys need to check this site out it's awesome, amazing ideas. I stumbled across it a long time ago and never wrote down the web address but managed to find it today YAY!! If anyone is getting married in the Bahamas you could use them as for everyone else they have great pics of weddings, theme night and dinners...so take a look!!! Floral Arts - Event Consulting & Floral Design in The Bahamas here are just some examples

Just in case anyone is looking for affordable light coloured suits check out Banana Republics new collection BananaRepublic.com: men: suits:Twill modern suit blazer & pant

that is so cute, great idea...im having a small wedding so it would work perfectly for me...I want i want!! o but im so lazy to make it on my own...i def need to hire Sarah lol

don't worry u can plan all this in 4 months no problem my wedding is in 3 1/2 months and i still havent done anything other than picking the place.... I've stayed at Iberostar Hacienda Dominicus in la Romana Dominican republic and I was very impressed with the Iberostar chain....excellent service, food and impecible resort structure, o and their prices are awesome so I am certain that u will get the same quality in Mexico good luck with the planning and let us know what else we can help you with
