Okay January bride, I can see you've only been a member here for a minute so let me help you out. ALL of us have careers and lives outside of the computer and insinuating that yours is somehow more important than ours is never the way to get help. That's a life lesson for you, on the house. Insulting the members who did reply by calling them pretentious isn't going to fly. Telling people to do what you say or go away isn't going to fly. Creating a thread to answer all the questions you have in one place instead of using the forum the way every other member uses it isn't going to fly. That is not the intention of this forum. I'll give you a few minutes to read this thread so you can understand why you are about to be banned. Thank you! As

I get your concerns and I think Abbie summed it up well. We can't guarantee your safety but can let you know our experiences, none of which were dangerous or violent. People get robbed/raped/murdered every day in the city where I live...where I live. But that doesn't stop tourists from flocking to Los Angeles in numbers because the whole city isn't unsafe, kwim? At the end of the day if you are going to spend the next year worried then don't get married in Mexico. This should be a joyous time for you and if the location is stressing you then that is no way to plan your wedding. Good luck!

Thanks, we work to keep a lot of current info here that explains just about everything and we all have kids and busy lives (Ann just gave birth yesterday as a matter of fact!) so taking time to tell people what is already explained here in various places doesn't sit well with us. Thanks for being patient.

We all have a lot of responsibilities to keep up with, which is why you wait.

Something to pass on to the Mexico haters that may be trying to rain on your parade! http://themexicoreport.com/2010/10/21/positive-things-about-mexico/

You did an amazing job!!!

Sorry you are dealing with this. I honestly do not know what is going on there but for what it's worth my 22 year old cousin and her girlfriend just went to Cancun 2 weeks ago alone and returned without incident after a week long stay. Keep in mind that things like this do go on all over Mexico but the media hypes stuff up at the same time and it's not always as bad as it seems. It stinks that you were told you are putting people's lives in danger, that's something you don't need on your shoulders. How important is a Cancun wedding to you? If it's really important you'll go whether you have 2 guests or 52 guests. If having your parents and everyone there is more important then you will have to change your plans. It doesn't sound like they are budging. Me? I would go to Cancun and maybe have an AHR or something when I return. Follow your heart

Wow, you managed to thank everyone but Ann and she even linked you to your answer! Snarky. (get it now?)

Awesome! I'll close the thread for you

Really cute!! Have fun helping your daughter!

I'm not sure if it is doable either but we can check into it. Thanks! Â ETA: Tammy's on it!

Thanks for reporting, we'll take care of it!

Welcome to the forum! As far as involving the children in the ceremony I think you can do that anywhere. I'd imagine most all venues will allow you to customize your ceremony to your liking. I think the main thing is finding a resort that is more kid-friendly. Some resorts are adults only so those obviously wouldn't work but there are resorts that have kid programs and would make for more of a family fun vacation. Â I'm not sure where you are and what is easy for you to get to, but check out the Dreams Resorts in Mexico. Someone mentioned Beaches and I do believe they are family friendly as well. Â The best thing to do in my opinion is search the site and check out resort/wedding reviews to get an idea of what other brides have experienced. Also a travel agent is a great resource to help you find what suits you and get you and your guests booked, and perhaps negotiate a group rate to save you all a little money. Â If you don't have a travel agent we have wonderful agents working with the forum who are experienced with destination weddings.

sonyaj - Â Please contact a moderator when you have concerns rather than starting a useless thread to complain. That drives us crazy! Â This thread is closed.

Not cool is right! Hammy, since your post makes absolutely no sense I am closing this thread. Â Before posting again I strongly encourage you to read the FAQ's in my siggy that explain how the site works.

I thought it was worth it. Keep in mind I was married there in 2007 so things could have changed, but in terms of quality it wasn't as good as they come but then again it wasn't bad...and it wasn't that expensive either so I wasn't expecting TV quality. Â I would get it again. Your guests with video cameras won't have time to be guests if they tape everything so their videos won't be comprehensive. If it's in the budget I say go for it! Â We don't watch it every month but we do watch it from time to time and it's better than pictures for reliving the day

Morgan (or anyone) can you recommend a site to privately host videos so that they are not searchable by the general public?

I love how there are already resort reviews posted - go Tammy and Debs! This new format is going to make research and planning so much easier. Exciting!!

Thanks, ladies!

Welcome to the forum!

Gorgeous!!
