WHAT! For serious! Dang nabbit! I wish we would have known that!!!! Ah well, it's pretty expensive to stay at the Wilderness so maybe it won't be too bad. Plus, with our own villa we can always retreat to that and play games! Well, if you go to the casino at night look for me!!!

Yippee! I'm so excited! My bachelorette weekend starts Saturday!! We are going to Wisconsin Dells and staying in a villa at Wilderness Resort - Welcome to America' s Largest Waterpark Resort I LOVE this resort. It's so much fun! they have a bunch of indoor waterparks which are great for adults. Huge water slides, wave pools, lazy rivers... all kinds of fun! There is also a casino really close, so we'll go there at night instead of the bars (I don't drink). I'm so excited! I'll post pictures when I get back!!!

I chose the Gran Bahia Principe Akumal for many reasons: 1. It's away from touristy Cancun 2. All buildings must be 3 stories or less so it looks more natural 3. It's all inclusive 4. Great beach for snorkeling and it's just a very LONG beach in general 5. Very close to many touristy attractions that I'm interested in. 6. Family friendly 7. Large! This is a turn off for many people, but honestly... I love my family, but I need my time alone too Plus we have some divorced couples and things like that. 8. I could have a private reception 9. Paperwork for getting married is easy peasy. None of this translating birth certificate crap. 10. On-site spa with rave reviews

I'm the only weird one I guess, but I say get the 12. I think it'll fit better and you won't have to worry about losing weight or back fat at all. AND it'll hide your gals better.

Here's what I have so far... msareny – March 29, 2008 - Tulum drai – April 4, 2008 - Tulum Steph77 – April 9, 2008 - Akumal tlseege - April 11, 2008 - Akumal Brandi K - April 16, 2008 – Tulum sheryl76 – April 28, 2008 - Akumal chellebella - June 4, 2008 - Akumal Just Martha – July 25, 2008 – Tulum royfa – October 23, 2008 - Tulum CarrieRD - Nov 7, 2008 – Coba Sarah1108 – November 8, 2008 - Akumal jennyFTB – January 3, 2009 - Tulum

I'm right there with you Yolanda! I'm getting married the same day! I actually do have almost everything together... but that doesn't help the stress level! I'm stressed that I'm done with everything! I feel like I forgot someting, or I think I'm finished but I'm not and I won't notice until the day before we leave. Oh I'm so dramatic!!! Really my to-do list: Assemble wedding binder to take with and stay organized Put together wedding music on CDs and label Pack 2nd OOT bag suitcase (so much crap!) We need to host a "bridal party party" in which we will give everyone their gifts I need to find a thick bridal bag to carry my dress in Buy a signature picture frame for guests to sign Order cake take out boxes!!!! E-mail the resort with our room selection & dinner resos.

Appreciated enough that if this doesn't work you'll pick me up some in Chinatown!?!?!

Baseball games! The stadium lighting really makes it shine! I love it so much!!!

Welcome! I'm getting married at the Akumal section of the same resort! My review should be up sometime in April, make sure to watch for it! Do you have any specific questions you'd like me to ask or find out while I'm there?

Another update: This is really making me upset, so I CALLED him... AGAIN! This time he finally answered his phone! It's a shame I can't understand him and he can't understand me... but I think we worked through PART of our problems. I told him these items are for weddings and I need them shipped by Friday. Of course he says they aren't in stock. I said, the odds of you not having ANY in stock are very slim. So, he said he will go to his warehouse and ship whatever he has. I'm PRAYING that he actually does this and that we at least get enough to send to LC_Rachel in time for her wedding, and then we have another week until the next wedding. So, keep praying! Thank goodness he's finally answering his phone! I feel less hopeless!

UPDATE: OK, although nothing has been resolved yet, we have gotten an e-mail back! Yippee! Progress! Well, we hope it's progress! If it's alright with the three of you who asked that I send your partial orders, I am going to hold off just a few more days and see if we get the full shipment. If we do, I'd rather send it all at once. So, everyone keep sending those BDW good thoughts towards the Pashmina Gods and hopefully we'll get somewhere!

Alright, this is ONLY from friend's reviews that I know this... I have NEVER been to these places... but... Moon Palace - if a good beach is what you are looking for, look elsewhere. Although some call it "swimable" it's really not a great beach. Palladium - My friends that went weren't impressed at all. They hated the food and thought the resort was a little run down for what they paid.

Welcome! The best advice I can give a new destination bride is to find this website and search around! You will find so much information and great ideas that these lovely ladies and gents have posted. It's an amazing resource. Welcome to the group!

Welcome! Wow, two months until your wedding! That's really exciting! Las Caletas is beautiful! you will find tons of helpful information on this site!

Wow! Those look great! I love your bags too!

Welcome! A little over a year to go! How exciting. When did you get engaged?

I gave him until Wednesday at noon. If I don't hear from him by then I will ship you what i got!

Thanks! They are sweet little girls. I'm not really sure how the whole wedding scene will play out with them, but I'm hoping they just play in the sand during the ceremony!

Mrs. V to be... I have your gold and royal blue pashminas. Pryzeless, yup you ordered 10 aqua.

Lizz, your order is missing the 20 fuschia. Basically, we are missing all Champaigne (IS0029), Light Green (AG & LG), Fuchsia,Turquoise, and Aqua. I have sent the orders to the five people who DIDN'T have these colors.

IrieBride... I have 7 light brown, 7 gold, and 7 copper at my house. You are missing 7 aqua and 7 turquoise

Yari, I am missing the 20 aqua that you ordered.

OK, So here's the deal at the moment (Besides the F'rs not talking to us). The deal is that I have SOME pashminas. The question is, do you ladies want me to send what I already have? And then just await word on the rest?

And by 500+ she means 500+ pieces. This is almost a $2,000 order!!! And NO response... at ALL! I would NOT trust this company to purchase your pashminas from.

Morning! So, I'm having no luck selling my wedding dress... so I've decided to donate it and have the tax write off. I've chosen Brides Against Breast Cancer I think it's a great cause and I wanted to remind anyone who doesn't know what to do with a brand new wedding dress that they just can't sell.
