Congrats to you!

Congratulations Jessalyn & Tony! Hope your wedding in Cabo is perfect!

Owwwwwwwwwie! That sounds terrible! I hope you are feeling better today. Yes, I felt how truly addicted I am to this site. I did have a chance to organize all my wedding 'favourites' links and had a ton of meetings that helped keep my busy, bleh!

Happy (belated) Birthday Sarah! Sounds like it was a wonderful time!

Very nice book Tammy!

We are getting married in Feb 08 and just found out the rate is going to be higher than expected. I don't know about kid's rates yet, but I am going to speak with my TA, hopefully tonight. We chose this time also due to preganancies of a couple of girls that are due in Sept and Oct of this year. So that seemed like a good time. I already have people saying they will go, but they do not have the rate info yet.

Well, I should just do that too! Why not, I'm sure it won't be more than 5 cigars! we don't have that many people coming! Okay a question about table decor. Has anyone asked if they have anything available for the tables or is everyone bringing there own stuff. I've picked up some tea light lantern things and also some shells, seaglass, & starfish to kind of scatter on the tables. But the lanterns I have are small, so I feel like I need more flowers. I know the package comes with a centerpiece and also some other decorations, so I figured I'd just pick the same centerpiece for both and then I would have flowers for the reception, but I really don't know. Its so hard without actually seeing the setup! paula, can you show us a picture of what you were asking her for? I love the drowned flowers, they look really cool! I had already told her I was using an outside vendor for photography and I don't want gazebo decor (maybe just some tulle going down the front two posts). I guess my option is upgraded video... maybe I can get her to trade it for flowers... I am going to ask how much cigars are as well. We don't want to be surprised at the cost. Also, I am sure we need to tip him as well. Here is the picture I sent he about the table set up, My napkin idea is different, laying down flat in a square (oh and I like those chairs better, but they don't have any other choices) :

I received a reply from Claudia today. Thought I would post my responses: 1- In the email below for Date: Apr 25, 2007 11:41 AM, my question was: How much would the credit be for the photography as you mentioned in the previous email? upgrade to package 2 of photography I had mentioned in a previous email that I would use another photographer (actually Claudia Rodroguez), so I would not need an upgraded photography package. You had mentioned I could you that amount towards something else. I was asking how much that would be would know how much we have to work with. you can exchange it for: Gazebo Décor or Upgraded wedding video! 2- Do you work with a 'cigar roller' vendor that could come in for an hour during the reception? If so, what would the cost be? yes we have one cigar roller here at the hotel, the cost will be on consumptions 3- My fiance mentioned fire dancers... could you tell me about their cost if you have them as well? they are very expensive prices attached. 4- If we have the cocktail reception in the garden, what kind of modern furniture seatin could we have? What would the cost be? I attached a picture. photos attached, prices subject to quotation, will depend on how many pieces. 5- I am attaching a picture of another table/flower idea (not with those colours) - square vases with drowned flowers in water (orange colour), smaller square vases with flowers (see picture) and small votives. Would this idea be more or less than what comes with the Dreams Ultimate Wedding package? if you want something like that we can do it. 6- Do you have access to bright green or orange table runners? A narrow fabric that goes down the middle of the long reception table. Or would this be something I should bring? table ruuners will be additional cost 7- From a previous email: For the dinner, the hours are between 5:30-8:30pm . Is there an extra charge to stay until 10 or 11pm? yes additioanl fee of $ 10 usd + 15% service + 10% tax per person Can you tell me what the additional payment of $10 + 15% +10% tax would cover? Is it use of the area, the wait staff, open bar? 1 hour international open bar --------------- Finally, the mystery additional hours fee explained!

Ah yes, and Matt must have comments on the amazing talents of his FI Thanks for the explanation. The pictures came out great!

Oh Jessalyn, I missed ya... hope you had a safe trip and have a wonderful, beautiful wedding day!

The only punk music I have are 80s covers by punk bands (oh and the Ramones of course) ... but nothing really first dance-ish... Hey I thought of you the other day when I was in Target. They had the cutest notebooks and file folders with skulls and cross bones. One had a lacey background with a big skull and cross bone.s. Another had a pink background with little ones all over it.

Feb 2,2008 Weather is icky here during that time ~ it should be wonderful in Cancun. Don't know about the room pricing yet. My TA is working on the room block from the hotel.
