I love it. It is absolutely gorgeous. Love the material.

Mine is not too exciting but here it is! Glenn, the killer bee and Kristen the cat.

Congratulations! How exciting.

Okay, so I finally took my bd pics and it was actually very fun. Sorry I have not written yet but I have been sick and unfortunately was sick the day of my session. My photographer was very fun, accomodating, and easy to get to know. Her choice of angles was awesome and she really knows how to hide what you want to hide and show what you want to show! I do not have all pictures back yet but she did send me a teaser so it is below. If anyone is in the Dallas or Fort Worth area I highly recommend her. She will shoot in her studio which is kind of small but it did not bother me. She will also go to you if you prefer that. Her rates are extremely reasonable and they do your make up and hair as well. I rpobably would have changed my hair a bit, but I was more concerned with the fat areas! I think I posted her info somewhere else but here it is.

I just got the news a few days ago too. I will tell you that Adriana was very nice and was extremely helpful when I was there at the resort last year however I have been waiting 2 MONTHS for her to answer two simiple questions. All my emails go un-answered and I am less than two months away. I have been extremely calm with the circumstances only because everyone has had such a great experience when they got to the resort for their weddings. However regardless of how close or far away you are from you wedding (which I consider mine to be close) I feel you should respond within at least 3 to 5 days from an email inquiry. I am in customer service and I require my staff to respond within 3 hours and they our not always at their desks. The lack of response so far in the process has really disappointed me. Anyway, Daniela has been an absoulte dream over the past few days as far as email response goes. I was nervous when I got the email from her as well but I basically outlined my wedding for her just in case. I sent her a list of my final questions and then a list of everything Adriana had already confirmed. She responded within the day and then we actually had a conversation through email (4 emails back and forth in the same day) which has never happened there before! I had to hold on to my chair! I feel relieved and am happy about the change so far! Hope everyone else is having the same experience. BTW...there is also a new director of the hotel that starts this month as well.

Hopefully it will be a breeze! I am taking about 70 starfish so I am not sure if I will keep them together and take the receipt or split them into several bags with others and if some don't make it oh well.

absolutely beautiful slideshow!

We are using Manuel Burgoin. I have reserved him for 6 hours but might make it 7 depending on how my timeline turns out. weddingsinloscabos.com

Your bags turned out great! I am still undecided on whether to go with the tote or the palm bags. Your pics make me want to do the palm bags.

Leigh~ Have a wonderful time and beautiful wedding! Can't wait to see photos and hear all about it when you return.

Heidi~ I am so sorry for the loss that you and Reggie have experienced. You are both in my prayers and know that we are all here for you.

Has anyone taken real starfish in through customs? Wanted to make sure that these are okay and won't be taken.

I hope you have a wonderful time and your wedding will be beautiful. We can't wait to hear about it when you return.

That is too cute Shelley!

Angela~ your starfish is awesome! So cute, I just love it. Thanks for posting.

Sarah~ You have inspired me to do my own photobook. I feel pretty confident that I can do this but I am going to get the software first and play around with it. I have several photobooks that I need to make so I will practice on those first. This is my first so let me know if you have any begginer Lumapix Photofusion tips!

Susan~ Everything looks great! You did a wonderful job on everything. Have a blast at your shower and enjoy this time. Post pics of your shower too!

Do you know who their musicians are? I want a classical trio, but I want to hear samples of the music first and be able to find out what they play.

I am having trouble getting answers on some of my final questions from Adriana and wanted to see if any of you Riu Cabo brides can help me! I would greatly appreciate it because I am going crazy waiting for answers! 1. If you want to hire a classical trio or classical guitarist for the ceremony and cocktail hour do you have to hire from their specific vendors or can you hire whoever you would like? I ask this because I had to choose from a list of photographers so I am not sure what to do and she has not gotten back to me. 2. Also, does anyone know how many people can be seated on the terrace of the Mexican Restaurant? We have 60 guests confirmed already and could get a few more. I have rented the restaurant for the eveing and I know the entire restaurant can seat up to 80 people but I really did not want to seat people inside and outside. I wanted them to all be together with us. 3. I know I can bring in my own champagne but do they charge corkage fee? 4. Has anyone shipped any of their reception decor to the resort? Thank you so much to anyone that has answers!!!

Natalie~ you must be so excited to get your pictures. You look great and I love the red shoes!

Nicole~ you look gorgeous. Your dress is so beautiful and you two look so happy together. Great job Juan as usual!

Your pictures looks great! He is going to love them and you look awesome! This reminds me that I need to get prepared for mine in a couple of weeks. I have not bought anything for mine yet!
