Happy Birthday Natalie! Hope you're feeling good and enjoy your day.

Ooo now that i can see it better, it looks really nice. I really like the picture on the black background. You're right she does a great job. I would totally stick that on my fridge and I don't usually like magnets hehe

Horay, it worked Quote: Originally Posted by Lorilou yes, I was looking for a place for our rehearsal/welcome dinner.

I've spoken to the owner who's an american that lives down there, so it's been easy to communicate with him. I hope it turns out okay. I think it will 3 hours open bar! PS. your wedding looked amazing! COngrats! Oh my - I think I remember that place, we had some margarittas there if I remember correctly. Sorry we didn't have any food I can recomend or review. But that place was very pretty. I did take pictures but it was just of the flowers outside. I'm such a geek, who takes flower photos? I DO! haha 3 hours is going to be so much fun. I can't wait to see how it all turns out. Thanks for the compliments on our wedding. I'm very happy with it looking back.

AHHHH for some reason it won't let me see page 16 of this thread. Hopefully by posting I'll see it, heh.

OK that was really alarming jamie. I'm glad you guys are going. yo got my nerves going I must admit. PV is going to be wonderful. I know how much you've been looking forward to this. And just think you'll be getting married in PV soon too! You're going to love it. Who knows maybe you and martin need this time alone together. Just remember to relax with one another. Dinners at home are great for this. We try to not eat with the TV on, we talk so much more. It's great company. WOOHOO PV!! Have fun!

Awww I had no clue, thanks jamy for posting. Paula congratulations I know it probably doenst feel like the real thing but do make sure you celebrate

I really wanted At last too by Etta James but we compromised with "it's your love" with Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. It was such a sureal moment looking back on it.

I can totally see why you're upset. I don't understand why she won't let him go without her. Do you get along with her? Is it a high risk pregnancy? Is she the jelouse type that doesn't trust? Sorry so many questions I'm just trying to figure out where she's comming from. Well at least you have some time. Maybe he will figure out he needs to be there for your special day. AT least I hope he figures it out. Good luck I wish you all the best.

Sorry Monica I have no info about cancun. i just wanted to comment on your winter siggy. I love it. I'm in Florida right now and I'm really craving to get all dressed up in scarfs and mitts. hehehe Normally I don't think the Riu chains charge extra for outside photogrphers. They are an all inclusive chain if that interests you.

Lourilou - totally off topic here but did you ever figure out a place to have your reception dinner?

GORGEOUS! Wow I'm super impressed. They are such a beautiful couple. I like the one with the gazebo and the fountains. Very cool.

Wow your dress is smokin' Lorilou!!!

Great review Celina. Erika was my wedding coordinator at the Jalisco in October. It must have been nice to see everything before deciding. It was all a surprise to me when we arrived and I was pretty stressed out. Their flower vendor does a wonderful job I thought. Be sure to take advantage of the bridesmaid bouquets and chose as many different flower types as possible. I did yellow roses, orchids and white calla lilies. They were gorgeous, I love them so much. But I saw other weddings whom just chose one type of flower ie roses and got 4 roses to make up the bouquet. So do take advantage.

Hmmm… not too sure if you want to do card like invitations? We did 50 invites and I got all the supplies from A.C Moore and JoAnne (local craft store) for a total of $28. That included pre-made 4x6 cards on nice pretty paper, brown stain ribbon, white and brown card stock, brads, and funky scissors. I used our printer at home and DH brought his paper cutter from work. Don’t forget the cost of stamps… we had to send some to Canada and it cost us quite a bit looking back on postage expenses.

Maria you're so financial savy. I still go on your financial site you posted a while ago "Its your money" It's Your Money! Personal Finance, Debt, and Budgeting Steps and Spreadsheets

Vent away Good tip on the valued goods, I always bring them on my carry on. ALWAYS. I've gotten my luggage lost way too many times.

Congrats heidi, I like to see good things happen to good people. Its about time!

Oh gosh that reminds me how brutal those time share people are... it's like a mad rush to get to the outside world in PV. I like jamies description of it. haha Looking forward to hearing what you thought of the jalisco and vallarta.

That's hilarious!

You are going to have soo much fun sweetie!!! yes as I recall the walmart sells booze there. But lots of places do. haahahha good prices too at the OXXO mart (I think that's what they are called).

Welcome to the forum, I'm sure you will find this forum VERY helpful in your planning.

Ooo that's a great deal for such a pretty necklace. I love ebay!

Happy Birthday Girl!

Jill I'm so happy for you. That table with your colors looks very cool and I love the idea of the cigar roller, how awesome is that idea. Fab review!

happy wedding day Kate! I can't wait to hear all about your special day and how it all turned out.
