Please Take One "Por favor toma uno" What will it be used for?

We are about to sign a contract with another photographer, but would love to hear about the one used by Dreams.(Cancun) Thanks. Good morning! I don't know of anyone on this forum that has used the resort photographer. So I cannot help you there. Many are using Claudia Rodriguez's company Claudia Rodriguez, Photographer, Cancun & Riviera Maya or del Sol Photography . It does take some time for them to respond, it has taken up to 3 weeks for me sometimes. My suggestion would be to call Claudia and ask, then do a search on them to see their work. If you don't get an answer and like the work of the photog you are about to sign with, then just go with them. Claudia is upgrading my video package to the next level up from what is included in the Ultimate package since we are not using the photography provided.

Yippee! Congratulations! Wishing you the best!

I am sitting here cutting out someof the paper to hang on her walls and they are so out of focus they hurt my eyes! LOL! She does have a good sense of humour

Hope you got those butterflies under control... You will look gorgeous! (I love your dress) Happy legal wedding to you!

Well, not sure how funny this will be... A co-worker of mine (sweet - sweet girl, love her to death) had lasik surgery done today. I am extremely excited for her as I have had it done myself. Another co-worker had poked fun at her leading up to today about the surgery and what her eyesight will be like afterwards - they are like brother and sister, very amusing. Since she wasn't in today, we took down all the papers tacked to her cube walls, her nameplate and I am scanning them, blurring them and will hang them back up awaiting her return. Haha! The other guy is going to come in early on Tuesday just to see her face when she cannot read them well. Hehe... Oh, I did send her a nice flower bouquet that said, "So the first things that you 'see' are beautiful"... so she can't get too mad

Now I can see it. Last night it was too dark and I couldn't load it at work today. Thanks foir posting this... can't wait until Feb!!!

WELCOME! I am a Dreams Cancun bride as well. Let us know how we can help!

We will decide by this weekend!

Ack! I cannot find it, it was at an Augusta Jones trunk show, so it's new, not on their website.

If I must get dessert, it's the apple dumpling thing.. Quote: Originally Posted by Ryjaxs19 But now I'm thinking a size 6 would be better because of the style I want. I'm going for something very bohemian/hippie. Something with an empire waist, which would mean the only fitted part of the dress would be in the chest area, which makes me think I should order a 6 so that the straps and chest fit snuggly and arent to big. An 8 would just be swimming on my chest area I think. UGH I'm so confused! I don't know if you have the dress picked out, but I tried on something I think like you are decribing... oh, it was so beautiful. It was new from Augusta Jones, let me see if I can find it...

Thanks for the input, I have two photographers as well, oh and the resort videographer My coordinator is actually from the resort and I know she handles a wedding almost every day. They finally got her an assistant. I do want her to know I appreciate answering all my questions and I have lots of them! I have heard only good things about her from those that have been married there. So I don't know if a thank you gift and/or cash is appropriate.

In, not at the waist but the tops of my straps. The hem, they said the hem is always long. Always get bigger rathe than smaller, even if you are thinkging you will be a smaller size by then... okay you don't need to lose a thing... You know what I mean, easier to take in that let out, only so much to work with there.

Anti matchy-matchy here too.

I am between a 4 or 6 and had to order a 10, will need to be slightly adjusted.

We come in 3rd?!?! Just kidding... I like 3, 4 and the last one.

Haven't had any done yet Amy, I just wanted to tell you the have fun!

It was very well suited for their slideshow. I found a CD my friend made with a compilation of songs he sent instead of a birth announcement for his daughter, and it was on there It's a cute CD: 'The Daley mix' has a picture of the baby on the front and on the cd and about 20 songs.

And her response: No, I was really happy to discover that this was a part of the Ultimate Package - No additional charge. Yeah! :-) That's what I thought as well. Thanks for checking Susan. I will remind her especially since we are getting nothing else at the gazebo, no table and no flowers. I may line the aisle with orange petals for some colour.

Have a safe trip to Cyprus tomorrow! I am sure you will have an excellent time at the wedding (as a guest) ! I know you won't let us down and report back with lots of pictures.

It's beautiful Carly! Great deal too!

Have a safe and fun site visit!

Pretend you didn't this either 4. Is there any decor for the cocktail hour? just cocktail tables and votive caudle holders one each table If I bring my own, are there any costs associated with the setup or is it included in the Ultimate Dreams package? will have a set up fee… 5. Approximately how many square votives would be needed for the long dinner setup for 50 people? @ 4-6 per table If you provide the votives, what would the cost be? $ 15 usd per table… 6. Is the bar open during the dinner time, or is it closed for a period of time? If so, how long is it closed? is available during dinner… 7. Is it possible to have a chocolate and vanilla cake together, different layers? yes… 8. Since the cigar roller is per consumption, do you know the average cost per cigar? (My finace really wants this). @ 10-20 usd each…
