I had some other things that she said I couldn't do but then I showed her the emails that Marco sent and she did as I asked. Come prepared to stand your ground with her. Email her the emails Marco sent you. I did that. Sorry I haven't been helping so much...been really busy since our wedding...I have had two finger surgeries...be careful dancing on your wedding day or you'll end up like me. Thanks Amy. I have not had any contact with any of the new WC's since Marco left. We hired Priscilla soon after. I am going to fight for it. It is clearly stated. Do you have Nayley's email? I am going to contact her and CC my WC too. On a side note, what kind of dance were you doing when you broke your finger?? Poor you! Feel better!

I will post my pics as soon as I have everything ready, I'm still working on the place cards, menus and programs. I know the Mayan is making our cake, it's going to be small and not sure how much is going to cost yet. As for the cake I can understand your frustration. I would speak to the mayan and send them the emails tha marco sent you. I never had to work with the mayan, we have heard from others that they are difficult to work with as well. We are only working with them thru prisar, and prisar has been great. Isn't marco working at the mayan in nuevo vallarta? or is he not working at the mayan at all? i really hope everything works out for you amy. let me know if there is anything I can help you with. Alreager, how did you hurt your fingers? I'm curious? I'm planning on dancing a lot and I do not want to get hurt. Thanks! I can't wait to see what you have planned! As for Marco, last I heard he was actually in Cabo working for the Mayan out there. He actually asked if I could refer other brides to him (I'm assuming via the forum) however, I asked him for more info and pics and I would be happy to post. My experiance working with him was great. He was very quick to respond and very sweet. However he never replied to my email so I never posted a thread.

Hey, side note, do you have a back up plan just incase it rains? My WC is urging us to rent a tent! I really don't want to, its going to cost us $3000! UGH! We want to just cross our fingers and monitor the weather, but I'm just not sure!

I got them for Christmas, and they were delivered till March! But I didn't care, we have been having weird weather so I through them when we were in the 60's!

so cute! I love them Sarah! As soon as it gets a little warmer, I'll be wearing my flip flops too. I'm lucky that I can wear my uggs in the cold and flip flops when its hot to work!

Thank you. I hope I don't get in trouble posting them I got the image from another invititation website and used dafont.com for the fonts. Gotta love freebies!

I agree with the other girls, you don't need to say anything. Don't worry what everyone thinks, who cares, they are not in your position and everyone grieves differently. If you feel that you cannot speak then don't.

This is mine I was wearing blue stilettos when I met Hans, lol. We may print them on linen paper, not sure yet. This was second runner up:

I'm a Bruin too!

Everything looks amazing Courtney! I love your BD book! I don't think I've ever seen it! Lucky girl Leigh is amazing!

I'm not sure if anyone else is keeping up with this thread, but I wanted to post a mini vent, ugh! So the previous WC, Marco though in a small symbolic cake to our package considering the amount of guests we are having and that we get desert with dinner. I have emails confirming this since he did not state this on our contract. we actually had 2 contracts/ proposals (in English and Spanish). They both had contradicting prices/ one had more info than the other. I pointed this out to him before signing the contract. Marco confirmed everything in his emails and told me not to worry. So why is it that now Pris is telling me that we will most likely not get this cake since it was not stated on our contract! I sent her the emails from Marco where he is clearly confirming this! WTF! I don't want to purchase a whole cake but was looking forward to having a small one to cut. Now I'm quoted about $300 for a cake (which is not bad, however, when you were not planning on spending $300 for a cake, it does take a toll on the budget).

Especially the children. Fabian was healthy for almost 2 years but relapsed late last year. I hate to think negatively but its just so hard to be positive when you read stories like Laiken's. Again Yari, my heart is aching for you.

Yari, I'm sitting here holding back tears. These poor parents, families and friends. Its so unfair. My cousin's son just had a bone marrow transplant last week. She keeps a daily blog and its so hard to read. Fabian is doing as expected but he is suffering so much. I've never been good with words, but I will keep Laiken in my thoughts.

I only wish I had had the time to print my own actual invitations for the DW. That is my one and only regret from all the planning I've done. I know I could've done a great job, I just didn't have the time to do all the searching for supplies, printing them which I know would've taken me forever because I'm a perfectionist. I think I could've done a better job than White Aisle did even though I like my invites a lot. To be honest. I wish I could have afforded to have them printed elsewhere. I wasn't too excited about the printing. Anyhow, your invites are beautiful, and no I am not the queen, Sarah still holds the crown!

Maura, your invites are beautiful! Don't you love getting free stuff of of other sites? the White Aisle posted a list of fonts along with their names, and I went font-stalking trying to find as many as possible. Too bad they gave away their little secrets and now us DIY brides can make our own beautiful invites!

I'm bumping this thread to ask another question: Has anyone inquired about doing a slideshow at the Mayan? I know some people don't like these, but I think they are fun and really enjoy seeing them at weddings. Verenicce, how are your plans? Your the next MP bride!! Can you share any of your planning pics/ ideas/ plans?? Edna, how is your planning coming along? Did you decide on your colors? What about the app's to go along with the mojitos?

I like #7, however I'm late and most the one's Ireally like are out of the running

Amy thank you so much for your review! Music is so important to us, and although they came highly recommended by the previous WC at the Mayan, its still a little nerve-recking to hire a band w/ out ever hearing them in person. We are getting the 5-pc band too! Yay! I'm glad your wedding went well, I would love to see pictures of their set up if you have any! Thanks and congrats!!

that is so sweet Erika! You have a great guy

Yay! That's great Edna!!

do you mean apps? I've always loved ceviche as a light app!
