Those are all gorgeous Courtney!
I think it comes down to which one feels more like you.
I did a trial run with my hair up and it just wasn't me.
Nice but I don't do that much and I wanted to look like me on my wedding day.
Your wedding day is come up so fast!
Hi Fiona!
I checked this link and it said there were 4 days with precip in May and 6 in June:
Cancun, Mexico Climate
I guess odds are on your side here, but know most places have a backup plan in case it does rain.
Decide how important it is to you to have it on the beach, gazebo, etc. knowing that you might have to resort to an indoor backup site.
I know some ladies on the site did it even later in the year and didn'thave any issues in the Cancun area.

I know you won't be dissappointed if you are married there.

Atta girl!
I have said this before and I know it's hard advice to take since I couldn't myself...
Once I got there I realized I worried too much about nothing!
Worry about the things you can do yourself... invitations, favours, attire, etc.
They really do make sure they are giving you the wedding you want and they are good at what they do.
Claudia was the sweetest and most patient person, especially for the load she carries there.

Now we got to figure out this smash brothers game... too many options Yay Mel! Once I started on GH I was addicted.
I played for an entire Saturday when we got it!
I haven't played in a bit since I cannot beat one song on Hard...
I realized I can go to Quickplay and try any song at any level and don't have to unlock them. (Wished I would have known that early on just for fun).
Our 6 year-old nephew asked was in the car with us the other day and asked us if we had any Guitar Hero songs in he car we could hear. Haha!
I had read a knot bio where they did pictures together before the ceremony and the pictures of them seeing each other for the first time was a beautiful and emotional moment and captured on film.
I think I still have that link bookmarked at home.
My sister had some taken before the ceremony, but she and the groom were in the same pictures, but could not see each other!
They were very well done... for example, she was upstairs looking out a window - window open, and he was downstairs.
We did group and family pictures afterwards and then once we were on our honeymoon we had a pro photographer take our romantic pictures.
Yipppeee! Jen is getting married in 9 days!!!
Hehe, yes it's normal... at least it happened to me.
As others have said, it it got done, great, if not, no one else will know.
Once you are there, time will fly, so breathe and take it all in.
I think it would look very nice!
I didn't do this for the BMs, but my FI (now DH) gave my mom, his mom and his stepmom a single orange rose after they were seated in lieu or corsages.
In Mexico it cost us $13 per rose.
It was worth it since they were not expecting it.

We did video that was included in the Dreams ultimate package and it turned out very well.

She did not do a slideshow, but we have all the pictures on disk.
The video was done by a different company that Dreams deals with.
Ours included the ceremony and clips of when we were having pictures taken on the beach. (Claudia R was taking photos).
First off ... Congratulations Mo!!!!!!
I would say ypu should absolutely tell him tonight... I know I would not be able to keep it in...
I cannot think of anything creative other than go out and buy a little baby baseball cap and wrap it up and give it to him.
You need to make sure he doesn't think it's an April Fool's joke either.
Yaaaay!

You many want to find and read SusanK's review, I think she used one of the DJ's that does business with Dreams.
I cannot remember the other person that used them.
I had the sound system for the ceremony which includes the sound guy.
I gave him a CD with the songs to play and what they were for, BM & GMs, Bride, etc.

How wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations to both of you!
Jill was extremely helpful to me throughout my entire Dreams Cancun planning process and was one of the first ladies I chatted with on the forum.
Anytime I started to feel stressed I would ask, "WWJD" ?
"What Would Jilly Do" ?
Thank you for everything Jill!
Heidi!
I am so excited your day is almost here!!!
I love all of your planning stuff you posted... especially the picture of you in your dress!
I teared up reading your vows...

Although, I did want to hire an outside DJ because their prices ARE ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! I brought my iPod and the sound guy had an elaborate system set up and mixed everything for use.
So we just paid for the sound system per hour and tipped the sound guy.
