Great Shots!! Can't wait! Quick vent: I'm so jealous of all you Cancun and Cabo ppl! You have Juan Carlos and Vanessa Vargas! (no offense to Jill, Leigh, J Thrasher.. but I can't afford to fly you in PV doesn't have any photogs that I like! So frustrating!!

Good advise Jill. I agree, as much as you want to share your plans with your in-laws, if they are not giving you supportive responses then stop telling them. They'll probrably begin asking how your plans are coming along when they notice you haven't talked to them about it.

Welcome Kat!! There are a ton of Dreams Brides here (I'm one of the.. Dreams PV). We also have a handfull of Dreams Cancun brides. Have fun! We are all very happy to help!!!

Our will be different. I'm thinking that we'll do something like Rebecca's.

Tammy, don't say that!!! This worries me. Is it because she takes too long to respond or are there other reasons?? Quote: Originally Posted by host great info nicole! also, ann, i am with you...the WC at Dreams PV is the worse one of have worked with so far...

Yay Melissa! Welcome to the forum! I'm a Dreams PV bride too! Let us know how we can help!

I love to make projects but it seems that buying all the little things just to make some thing a DIY adds up quick! I dont think we'll do these labels who knows. Maybe I'll take the really cheap route and print the labels on regular white paper and attach them with double stick tape.

Here's a template and the link on this DIY. PlanetLabel - White Inkjet Water-Resistant Vinyl 2 x 8 Rectangle Waterbottle template.doc

I still really love the asscher cut but we couldnt really find two side stones (other than two small asscher's) that went well with the diamond. And although the cut is beautiful, it doesnt sparkle as much as the cushion.

I finally found her contact info! She usually works with Kristin at thedazzlingdetails.com but I got her info from this knottie. I'm not sure if I like her packages but I'm going to try and see if she'll work with me. There are not many photogs I like in PV but I do like her pics.

Maybe you can find something like that where you are? I got the info from the diocese office of family life, it's worth checking into. $600 is a lot Ohhh, what church is this? I'm from L.A., Culver City to be exact. I haven't even started looking into this. I guess I'm trying to avoid this as long as possible.

I cut and pasted the email she sent me. I understand your frustration. I emailed her in the past to see if we needed to place a downpayment but she never responded. She confirmed the date with me and said she has reserved it, but I would feel more comfortable if there was an actual contract and security deposit. Has anyone had this same experiance? When did you begin sending money? BTW, thanks for the menu! All the food looks good. I'm wondering if I should omit a wedding cake?

I love those dresses girls! And Edyta I love that dress for BM's as well!

But if you would all like me to crash your AHR I will gladly oblige. -Glenda Your so funny glenda! I swear we must be long lost sisters! Hans and I don't live together either. (we both live with our parents!) My brother is asking us to go halves and invest in a duplex. But I have no idea how we can save that much money!! you can come visit is in our 2-room tent if you'd like..

My mom said that I was crazy for considering PV AND my parents are Mexican!! I thought they would be excited. But now that we are actually into our planning my mom is very excited. She comes home daily with ideas that she's found online.

I'm staying in mine no matter what! But I'm thinking of having the gm change from suits to guayaberas (shirts) and flip flops for the reception.

I know that I have ways away but has anyone rec'd the menu options from Marilu?

Ohhh! Can't wait to see those pics!

Welcome Amy!! Although I'm not having my wedding at a villa there are other brides who are. I'm not sure who, but if you are considering Puerto Vallarta you can view weddings on thedazzlingdetails.com and just search the name of the villa on google. Good luck!

Glenda, you always ask the right questions! I was thinking about this too. I am so eager to start planning. I found those little starfish and fans!... Why did we decide to get married a year and a half in advance

i LOVE those chairs anny! I want the brown ones. I found a vendor in PV but they are like $5 each @ 150 chairs... I think I can do with out.... sigh...

I've always wanted one but could never figure out what design to pick. For a while I wanted one on my whole side (accross my hip and back). Thank god i didnt get it. Hans hates tattoos but I really like the idea of getting a tiny one like nicoles.

thanks. I'll check it out.

I think thats the plan. I went to Staples yesterday and figured that they'll work fine. Maybe I'll get those stamps with our monogram. Christine, didn't you get some?

To be honest Glenda, I haven't even contacted the church here. I'm not very religious, I just want the church wedding to please our parents and for the sake of tradition. I have no clue how the process works.
