LCBride2007

Welcome, Marcie - I am so glad to see more PV brides on here! I haven't been to Dreams PV, but I hear great things about the Dreams in Cabo. I am getting married in Puerto Vallarta myself in June 2007 and am looking for a resort for my welcome dinner as well. Let me know what you find out!

I haven't contact any photographers, yet - but I asked my WC for a list of ones they've used in the past, and here was her response ... http://www.robertoaceves.com/ http://www.francogonzalez.com/ http://www.carlosmelnik.com/ http://www.leticiaalarconphotography.com/ http://www.maggiehallahan.com/ http://www.fairy-tale-wedding.com/

Thanks all! I am in MN house hunting this weekend, so won't be around much. But I'll be back ... and I'll bring friends! Have a great weekend ...

Happy Birthday!

Her stuff looks great (has anyone here used her?)! I just may submit something, though not sure what I could say that would win a contest! But I'd be a little nervous about putting off my photographer decision until the end of Dec. - but I guess that's not that far away.

I would hope they'd do a lot of coaching since Paul and I are quite reserved. Who knows!? The great photographers can make most anyone look like a professional model!

I just would feel weird showing my wedding slide show to my father, or father-in-law when my panties are hanging out!

I don't know who I am using, I am just starting to gather info. I asked for prices, and mentioned my date - and she didnt' say anything, so I guess I don't know if she's available! I'll have to find out ...

I actually have an appointment at White in 30 min ( I need to tear myself away from this site!). And I am going to MN this weekend to house shop, I finally closed on my condo here in Chicago, so now we're free to buy a house in MN. That is one thing I miss about MN, no sales tax on clothing (but I wasn't sure if this applied to wedding gowns) - I was born and raised there, I just moved to Chicago a year ago to be closer to Paul. Whenever we visit MN, Paul buys all sorts of clothes, he's a bigger shopper than I am! I'll let you know how it goes ...

wow - she's not shy, is she?!

I wonder if I just saw another dress that was on sale. But of course, now I am hooked on this one! What dress did you end up getting, is it posted on here? I love looking at all these dresses!

I know - I agree! On a day-to-day basis, I'm pretty low-key ... jeans and a t-shirt or sweater kind of girl. But your wedding is the one time in your life that you can just let all your "girliness" shine through! And boy, is it shining ... I am going to try on dresses all over the place this week!

What the heck - now I go to that dress and it's full price. Am I going insane?!?! It was down to $111!

Ok, I haven't even purchased my wedding dress yet, but I thought this was cute for the welcome dinner. It's about 50% off, on sale at Macy's. I haven't looked for a dress for the WD at all yet, so maybe I shouldn't but ... but it's cute! Should I wait until I look more? http://www1.macys.com/catalog/produc...Type=EverGreen

I plan on doing an OOT bag, probably no favors, unless something strikes me as the perfect idea! As for what to put in there, I've been trying to think of a list so I have some ideas once the time comes - like you said, lotion, bottled water, advil (my guests may need it!), snacks, itinerary, local travel guide, gift certificate to spa/golf/other entertainment, flip flops, t-shirt ...

This is a photographer that someone posted earlier, and has great pics! I just thought I'd start a new thread to post the info., so it doesn't get lost. I also got pricing info - see attached. I am just starting to collect potential photographers, and this could be one of them!

I agree - if you fell in love with it, then you should be able to enjoy it! Like Sarah said, if you can afford it, then you should go for it! And you can always sell them afterwards to get some of the $$ back (that's what I keep telling myself anyway - not sure I will be able to sell!).

For those of you looking for ideas in Riviera Maya, I just saw this on Sol Tamargo's blog (photographer - http://www.soltamargo.com/blog/). Sounds like this is a favorite site for a wedding ... Al Cielo Hotel Xpu-Ha Beach, Riviera Maya, Mexico http://www.alcielohotel.com/

I just got an email from Sol Tamargo, I must be on the email list now. But I thought I'd post it so people can take a look. ----------------------------------------------------------- Hola everybody!!! This weekend I'm featuring a Mexican wedding which took place in Central Mexico, beautiful and fun!!! You can check it out in my blog: http://www.soltamargo.com/blog Or view the slideshow: http://www.soltamargo.com/weddings/pablo&kalinka Hope you like! Saludos!!!

Happy Birthday! What a great way to spend it ...

I think we should lock Janet's ID so she can't log on to the forum - so she's forced to enjoy her honeymoon! Ok, selfishly (is that a word? - lol) I love hearing all about her wedding, and seeing the pics.

Not only that, but he likely lost business by doing what he did. I am guessing that most everyone who found out about this now won't stay at that hotel, just for this reason. Not smart!

Karla - I know it's been said before, but "STUNNING" is really the only word for that picture. When I get frustrated with all this planning, I just look at all the pictures you girls have posted, and I get excited! Speaking of - if any of you feel like planning mine, be my guest!

It is a large resort, no doubt, but they have a bunch of smaller building in addition to the main hotel - so it didn't seem that large on the grounds. THey have a casino in the hotel, which was nice. We did some deep sea fishing, and ventured to a couple other restaurants. But St. Kitts is definitely in the process of being built up - it's nowhere near Cabo yet! Let me go through my stuff to see if I can give you more info. - I'll tr yto find my pics too.
