Have your florist cut a slab off the bottom so they lay flat.

If it is true, scary. However I wouldn't seclude myself to my resort. Mexico is beautiful and just like any other place, there is always a chance of some sort of "danger". I live went to a beach concert in Santa Monica the other day and as my group walked back to the parking structure, there was a shooting. So please don't read this and freak out.

I didn't do OOT bags. We gave out a ton of favors on the wedding day (fans, shot glasses, personalized tequila bottles, starfish, cd's, and hangover kits) which doubled for decor. I don't think anything is a must. I think a personal touch, such as a welcome letter can do just fine.

If so, I thought the prices for alcohol was reasonable, if not cheap. We paid about $1000 for 175 guests/ 7 hour corkage fee for heavy, heavy drinkers lol.

If you speak spanish, these sites are great resources for GDL. They are like theknot and brides.com in Mexico. Guadalajara proveedores boda | nosotros2.com Club Nupcial, Directorio de proveedores para tu boda. Guadalajara.

try this website. I don't think I have the price list that my WC sent me, but this can give you an idea. http://www.elcoyul.com.mx/precio-dat.htm

You look amazing Martha! I love the pic of your hubby kissing the baby So sweet!

You look gorgeous Maura! Did you end up having the mass before the ceremony on the beach, or was your priest able to do the full mass on the beach?? Lucky girl! All us Catholic girls are hating on you right now!

Congrats!!! You look amazing Maura!

It must be difficult planning your wedding so far away and being away from your FI. If you need any other info, please PM me or email me

Those are so cute!! I love the saying! You are so creative!

Wow Maura!! Every thing looks amazing, however I knew it would! I am so excited for you and cannot wait to see how it all turns out! Have a great time chica!

Our GM had a full suit with ties. We let them know that they could change into a white guayavera and sandals for the reception and it worked out perfectly. Try asking your FI if you can compromise.

I am a Cali girl and the heat was bearable. Yes it was hot, I honestly believe it was hotter at my brother's San Diego wedding (also in July) than it was at mine. Although it did rain. Our ceremony was at 4pm and the cocktail hour started at 6:30pm.. Your on vacation, the sweat won't bother you too much, believe me.

I got married on July 4th. It poured non stop on my wedding day. But we still had an amazing time! We chose this date b/c kids are out of school.

Beautiful! Your wedding looked amazing!

We invited about 300 and 175 showed up. Most guests stayed with us.

I'm glad I am not the only one with wedding day mishaps! -As I arrive to the alter and turn to get a tissue from my mom (for sweat not tears), my mom snaps at me and tells me I am squishing my hair with my veil! -I said, "I Hanssel..." during my vows -One of our GM shows up to the reception in a black suit (the boys were wearing tan) and an uninvited guests who we previously told could not go. I made Hans call him over and I went off on him. His answer to to changing was that he wasn't aware he couldn't change and he only changed (into a Black suit) because he was hot and proceeded to walk into the cocktail area with the uninvited guest. He is still on my shit list! -My hairdresser and her boyfriend got wasted prior to the reception, show up to the wedding in sweats and jeans. Making out on the dance floor while my bro and SIL are giving a speech. the BF falls, knocks his head, cries and both run to the beach. I later have a few guest run up to me to inform me that "my hairdresser" was taking off her shirt and running in the ocean with her bf. -One of our other vendors got drunk (he was already off and we told him to enjoy the party so this didn't bother us), and had to be escorted back to his room by my brother. -There was a storm on the day of the wedding so the waves were crashing into the tent. There were electrical outlets laid on the sand. While I was dancing, I look up to find a huge cloud of smoke.. an outlet was hit by a wave and sparked a fire!
