Tahat really great Tammy! I know I would be lost without this site! The info and advice here is invaluble. Great job!

OK girls I need a little advice again! I was wondering if you and your FI's are all having matching wedding bands? Is it considered incorrect etiquette to have different ones (we both like different styles!) Or do you not think its that important? Help!

Hi Sheaa! I am also an EDR bride, we are getting married there March 24th. I am not sure what you are looking for in a resort but can tell you that the people at the resort have been really wonderful so far! Everyone is really responsive and helpful. I have never heard that the beach is unswimmable but did hear that it can be a little rocky, the other girls are right in saying that there are sandbags in the ocean in order to make it safer to swim (there was some damage done to the ocean floor in the hurricane I believe?). Hope I can help with your questions, let me know! Louisa

OMG! Could you even imagine the eternal shame! ROTFLMAO!! I thought for sure it was gonna be of one of the doves pooping on them or something! This is a classic though! That was great Ann!

Good luck to you all! I can't wait to hear the results.......!

Oh my! It sounds like you hit on something here! Lol! I am going through the exact same thing, a friend has been sweet enough to want to have a shower for me but I didn't register anywhere nor do I want to. I didn't want people to have to buy us gifts after they spent so much money travelling to our wedding! I feel the exact same way that you do! So, no you are not a bad bride, I think the other girls came up with some great suggestions and I think I will tell everyone who asks what my fav stores are! So thanks for posting a very helpful thread!

I really love that site too Anny! Great find! Thanks for all the ideas, keep em coming....! Lol!

I know this has been discussed before, but I wondered what you are all doing for your guest books? Or have already done for the married ladies! We only have around 15 guests with us so thought traditional books might look empty with only a few names in?! I really liked the plate idea but am worried about it breaking! Ideas or opinions please?

How the heck did they get all those sparklers lit at once! LOL! It'd be just my luck that by the time the last one got lit, the first ones would have gone out! Hehehe!

Welcome Amy! I am also getting married at the El Dorado Royale on March 24th! So congrats to you both! You seem to have got the most difficult part out of the way, it took me forever to decide which resort! I have always had really fast responses from Faith so not sure whats going on there but try again maybe? She is really good to deal with! I have pics of all the gazebo's and some of the bouquets they offer but due to me being computer illiterate I can't seem to upload them onto the post's, you can PM me though and I will e-mail them to you if you want. Feel free to ask away any questions you have!

Hey Mexibride! I can't wait to hear how it all goes....we are getting married at the same resort on the 24th of March and am getting very excited/nervous! Just sent in my final options/extras today so now am getting very impatient! Are you doing OK with planning or getting stressed out? Sorry, I will try to calm down.....! Hehehe. Anyway welcome and best wishes to you both!

Jen, the pic's are beautiful! You looked gorgeous and I love your flowers! Congrats again!

Ok so heres another one for you guys! Not sure if someone asked already so sorry if you did, but, as far as the actual marriage goes, do any of you feel that there is a difference in your relationships now that you are hubby and wife? Have heard that no matter how much you think it wont, the day to day dynamics change? True? Thanks guys!

Congratulations to you both!! Now dont make us beg............! lol!

Thats totally what happened to me! It felt like I had all the time in the world...now I am a couple of months out and there is so much left to do. Keep alternating between burying my head in the sand and having periodic meltdowns and somehow this list of things to do keeps getting longer! So yeah do what you can now! LOL!

Should be interesting but to be honest they are a bit plain with nothing on. I am just going to put a palm tree or something like that and then maybe "Riviera Maya 2007" instead of our names, I figured no one wants a bag to carry around with someone elses name on it! LOL!

Quote: Originally Posted by akh how think are those cheaptote bags - the $.99 ones? are these the ones you got? Canvas TOTE BAG Yep those are the ones, they are fine for what I wanted, but it depends what you want to put in them they are a pretty good size but not sure if they would last forever..... I have a pic somewhere but still not sure how to put them on the posts! Anyway I noticed that they had some heavier duty ones on the same site so they might work too but to be honest I am really happy with these ones and you just can't beat the price, the company was excellent to deal with too. They shipped them up to Canada and they were here within a week of ordering!

I bought some of the canvas tote bags from cheaptote.com and they are about 14x15 close to being square, they are great for what I want but be careful about quality........they have a heavy duty canvas tote that would probably be better for towels and stuff.

Glenda, for what it's worth here's my advice.....leave talking to her as long as you can Then when you do have to tell her, totally blame it all on your FI! It's what I would do....of course he is gonna be pissed at her for what she did so she should buy it! It's the perfect excuse! That way you don't have to insult her by saying that you don't want her to be your BM coz she is a shitty friend!! LOL! She'll probably feel so guilty again for what she did that she wont even question it! You get away looking good, your FI wont even know whats going on, everyones happy!! LOL!

Oooooh, I am getting married there in March and would love to see your pictures!!! Did you happen to see any weddings while you were there? Man, I had a million questions and now my mind has gone blank!! But please any details are verrrrry welcome! Thank you!

Welcome to a fellow RM bride! Not getting married at the same resort but the same area. I am sure you will find all the stuff you need to know here everyone is really helpful, and there's ton of info! Happy planning!

But anyway the MOH was mad so she went into the bridal suit and had sex with her BF all over the bride's envelope gifts. I don't need to get anymore graphic but you guys can imagine what happened to her envelopes when he finished. Girls here are such biatches! -Glenda OMG!! Now THIS is a reality TV show!!

I am a bit late to this one but I am with you guys! This is by far the friendliest, most fun and informative forum out there for DW's or others! All of you guys are so helpful and FUN!!

Glad to hear that you picked your resort Julie! The first step is always the hardest one! It is a load off your already stressed mind isn't it?!
