You girls are just to fancy for me Quote: Originally Posted by REBECCA Very pretty Edyta & Christa! I love them both!! This was my Rehearsal dress. I got it at a little boutique in Laguna Beach.

No problemo

Make it as easy on yourself as possible. No need to be overly authentic and its not like anyone of your guests will no that you got your wording from someone elses website. Thats my plan of action when the time comes anyways.

Just a couple of links that could be helpful to you. These are fairly good priced condo options so that if guests prefer they can stay there too. Mexico Riviera Maya vacation Villa, condo, house rentals on Mayan Riviera in Puerto Aventuras, Akumal, Tulum, Playa del Carmen, Solimon Bay, Jade Bay, Tankha, Cancun playa del carmen condos rentals

I will be staying in my dress the entire night but my dress is probably going to be very light and low key also.

I don't think most FIs or husbands would appreciate a male photographer taking those photos! (I wouldn't, if I were a guy, lol!) Actually I dont think Ryan would give a hoot if it were a man or a women photographer. As long as they were done in good taste and taking by a profesional that is. But then again Ryan is very laid back, not a jelouse bone in his body. I would definitly be up for these and if I end up booking a photog with enough hours in the package then I will plan on doing a couple of these shots. Nothing big just maybe a 30 minute session before I actually get into the dress or soemthing.

It's already included in the Dreams of Love package, but we would rather higher an outside company so we know what we are getting. I'm definitly not an expert on Dreams packages but....I want to say that if you go with a package it is what it is, there isnt much room for swaping out certain things and adding other things. (I could be wrong though). I have heard of a Dreams bride that instead of purchasing a package (I want to say it was Tammy host) sort of built their own from scratch.

Sarah those look really good. I love the black! Ana you are amazing with this computer stuff Kristi I'm no help but post some pics of yours so we can see when you get all the glitches worked out

Tammy your nuts, I'm not showing mine untill it gets covered up. To old and faded at this point, to showcase on the forum. lol.

Glenda, that could be a real cute and less expensive idea. Like the ladies said it would depend on how much it would cost to ship though. Although maybe some traditional mexican candy bought in mexico could be a posibility also, then you would just have to ship the little jars...

Oh boy there are many and I know I will forget some but here are a few to search for in this forums search bar or google it. Leigh Miller Johnathan Thrasher (not sure if im spelling that right) Elizabeth Medina Sol Tomargo Juan Carlos Tapia The list really does go on and on....if you type in photographers at the top in the search bar in this forum you should get some good links

AWWW nice find!!! Dreams is so good at making brides feel like they will be OK while planning their wedding. I wish a lot of the other resorts were like this.

I think its definitly doable if you set your mind to it. Start looking into things ASAP and it will turn out wonderfully. Congrats and Welcome!

Yup Tammys right everything Crate & Barrel is good. I would say that if its the only place you are registering to just make sure you register for a wide range of items price wise that way your guests will have options financially. i.e. buying a pricey item, going in with a few people for a pricey item or being able to pick out a 100.00 (ish) item from just them.

Great review Julie. I hesitate to read anything about the El Dorado Royale because everytime I do I want to scrap my whole guest list economical wedding at the Occidental and run away with Ryan to the El Dorado Royale and be done with it. The place sounds amazing.

Doesnt that sound like an amazing time! Good for you, you must be so excited

Glenda good question, I am 15 months away from my wedding date and wasnt planning on purchasing anything untill I am a year from my date. Thats also because we are trying to get the house thing finalized so that we can move on. But I am also wondering, has anyone taking out a loan or has everyone just been saving and paying for things one at a time to. I'm more asking about the bigger things...Venue, photographer, flight, dress,reception etc.... Should I take a 15,000. loan out or just try and do things one at a time? Or maybe a 10,000. loan out pay for the big expenditures and then buy the little things out of my savings? Very confused about this.

Good research I like reading stuff like that. Is a week 6night 7 days or 7 nights 8 days?

Welcome to the forum!!!

My friend has a little sun right above her big toe sortof and it looks so cute. OK, I have a profile of a womens face going into a question mark on my right back shoulder that I got in Europe back in 1995 so its very faded. I also had a homemade tattoo on my right arm that I have had 2 sessions of laser surgery done to remove and still have 2 more sessions to go its like 500 bucks a session for my size tatto anyways so at the moment its going to have to wait. As for piercings go I had my nose my belly button and my tounge pierced but I have since taking all of those out. I do have 1 piercing that I kept but its never seen by anyone but me and Ryan, lol.

hehehe, we love helping!!!! Post any and all questions you have and before you know it you will be the one offering advice

Thanks Jason I belong to the last two forums and they definitly do help as far as what resorts people prefer (vacation wise) and good things to do while in the RM/Cancun area.
