Have an excellent birthday Shannon!!!

No, just per cigar and then we tipped him as well.

For the fathers (and Jeremy) we got them all monogrammed handkerchiefs from Exclusively weddings. For his mom and stepmom we got them ladies hankies with little pearls sewen around them. For my mom I got her a little silver tissue box from Jean M that had a mirror inside and it is engraved with a poem on the outside. We also wrote cards for all of them.

Yikes! I was going to suggest tha same thing Yari said... hopefully that works.

I did my sister's invitations for her and I think it was a 2.0 pen. After that I swore not to calligraphy my own, hehe! The calligraphy did look nice though. You may have found your calling Tami

This is what I had: Old: lipstick, boring I know. New: Several things, but my mom gave me an emerald ring to wear on my wedding day. Borrowed: I 'borrowed' a bouquet starfish from Tobe Blue: My sister gave me a handkerchief with a 'D' on it embroidered in blue.

I hope to have my review done in the next few days. Reception was right inside the tower lobby. Too windy to eat outside. Claudia Rodriguez for photography - outstanding. Videographer Dreams uses from Cancun Studios - excellent video work.

People really liked it! He was there for an hour, during the cockatil hour. They were smoked after dinner. We negotiated $10 each, with a minimum of 15 cigars. Those were rolled so fast! We ended up with 25 total. There were cigars by the lobby bar and they were expensive, good, but expensive.

Thank you all for your nice comments It really was wonderful. Quote: Originally Posted by Morgan You had a chair in your wedding colors. How'd you get that past customs. Hehe!

I will have to show your pics to my DF. We both graduated from OSU. I am trying to talk him into Dreams. Congratulations!!! O-H... We had never been there before and my FI almost crapped when he saw the location for the ceremony. He couldn't stop talking about how great everything was after the wedding.

I made the flower girl pomander. Fake flowers of some sort, cut off the stems and jammed into a green flower ball. Worked out well since she had to old her brother's hand at times to walk up the aisle. Quote: Originally Posted by dc22173 We are getting married at Dreams Cancun next year.

Did you upgrade your cake or was it offered with the ultimate package? You guys look great together and it looks like you had a wonderful time. Congrats!!!! The flowers are from the florist the resort uses. I was in the salon and Claudia and Daniela brought them to me to see and I immediately teared up. Quote: Originally Posted by starchild Mija!!!

And the starfish looks great in your beautiful bouquet. I'm glad you got the perfect wedding you deserve ) Muchas gracias Jamy! I could not have done it without you all! Oh, and if I told you about all the yummy food I had ... Let's just say I didn't hold back AND I had huevos con chorizo the morning of my wedding!

We had one and it was a big hit! It was Cancun, not Cabo, we agreed on a minimum amount for them to roll, we paid for them and gave them tip as well. So we only paid per consumption. It was very cool to watch... we caught the tail end of it.

Very nice! I think that works well when your BMs are so different. Your dress is gorgeous by the way...

Welcome Kristi! I just got back from my wedding there. You will be very pleased!

I think we drove by it on the way to PDC from Cancun, but we could not see anything from the road. All of those resorts are far removed from the main highway.

We used the one included in our wedding package. He was excellent! They extended the time since we didn't use the photo package included. We also had a friend that took video and gave us that as well. I am so glad we have these perspectives on the wedding since it went by so fast and there were also things we did not get to see. (Totally missed cocktail hour).

They are adorable Anny! Love the colour combination.

Ah, good ... I will re-order them better tomorrow ... too tired now. Goodnight

try the link again...

working on it, one sec...

Here are our pro pictures taken by Claudia Rodriguez. She is so wonderful to work with, I highly recommend her! I know the order of the pictures is not just right, but you get the idea (hopefully this works...) Kodakgallery.com*Join now and receive beautiful photographic prints from your camera

They are uploading now! Hehe! The pro pics were mostly between 3-6 MG each, so I had to compress all of them and they are still uploading. I am not going to bed until they are done and a link posted Quote: Originally Posted by Raeka OK Paula enough is enough - where are the pics?? LOL I'm teasing.... but I did see you changed your siggy pic. I just did a search and the most i can find is this thread. Give em up

I totally missed this voting, not surprising as I am just catching up ... how cool! Congrats ladies!

Ooh! I like the first one best!

Ana, Ana, Ana... someone went to sleep early and I didn't get to meet them! I think you and Dave had a few drinks with my brother-in-law! Hehe! Dave did hang out with us the rest of the night though, that was cool. You took some great pictures! I think the terrace is a lot bigger that it looked in previous pictures I had seen, but you got it! My original thought was to have dinner on the terrace, but decided to have cocktail and dancing out there instead. It was so windy this time of year! We had dinner in the tower lobby and didn't really notice people going up to their rooms. I will be writing my review soon and I totally agree with you about Claudia, such a sweetheart. Oh, and before I forget... I told her to give you guys our extra sparklers. We had a friend of a friend buy them over the holidays and he held them until closer to the wedding and then he brought them by Dreams. People loved them! Ciao!

We're back! Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu everyone for the well wishes! It was perfect! I do have a ton of pictures I am sorting through right now. I even have the pro pics already too. I got a terrible cold the last few days of our honeymoon in Playa, so I have slept most of today, but I promise to get pictures up soon. PS: Dreams Cancun brides... you have nothing to be worried about... I realize now I may have over thought a few things, but it was so simple once I got there and met with Claudia. She and Daniela are *so* busy, but go through every detail with you when you arrive. I cannot say enough about them.
