Oh I love the Las Caletas weddings! They are so beautiful. I can't wait to see pictures!

That's the exact reason we won't do it. We will have two single people... and I think they will both be women!

I'm actually getting married at 1... so maybe I can help a little with your timeline. I'm having the wedding at 1, and then group pictures at 1:45. Following that everyone will be dismissed to go relax, eat lunch... whatever! Then at 4:30 we will start our cocktail hour. This will allow us to make a "grand" entrance and allow for stragler guests to arrive. Then at 5:30 we'll have dinner.

You don't have to have one if you aren't throwing it. I'm not wearing one. It seems pointless to me to have an very itchy item on my leg for no apparent reason

Leigh you are so talented! I love these pictures!

Have a WONDERFUl time! Take lots and lots of photos!

This is so exciting!!! I can't wait to see pictures! I also want to see those TTD pictures since that's where I plan on going too!!!

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Laura, happy birthday to you!!!

Welcome! I'm from Wisconsin too, and getting married April 11th! How fun! Maybe I'll see you at the airport As for hair and makeup, I don't know much about that specific resort or area, but what kind of fears are you having? Are you afraid to have someone do your hair and makeup? Are you afraid of the weather?

I like the bonfire beach idea! You can have smores then! Oh how I love smores!

Shawn would hate me if I told him he couldn't play. Well, he wouldn't listen and he'd play anyway... but still. When you hit a certain age it's very difficult to get a group of guys together to play sports. Eventually everyone gets married and has kids and can't come out as often. A flag football team gives the guys a chance to be guys. And honestly they don't get hurt THAT often in flag football. But, with that said I will now tell you a funny story (although probably not funny for the bride to be). So, at softball this summer a guy was talking about how he was getting married that Saturday (this was Monday) and that his bride tried to tell him not to play. Well, it's softball and you typically don't get hurt so he promised not to slide but still played. Well, he plays third base. So, one of our guys is up to bat and he hits a line drive... to third base... breaking the guys EYE SOCKET!!! Yup, it hit the poor guy straight in the face! Talk about disappointing wedding pictures

If you'd like, you can PM me. I will forward the e-mail for 100 free postcards, free upload, and $3.49 for envelopes.

Very funny!

That's funny Kristen! We just picked out Shawn's suit on Saturday and I almost started crying! It was just so perfect... so now he wishes I wouldn't have seen it too

I don't know about the waves either, but your vision sounds lovely!

That's the issue I have at my resort. And the silly WC will not respond to me! I want to verify that I get the pool for my reception! Ugh, frustrating!

Which resort are you getting married at? That seems VERY odd.

Welcome! I'm getting married at the Gran Bahia Akumal which is nearby to the Dreams Tulum. Let me know if you have any questions, and good luck planning!

I got made fun of a lot because I had my wedding planned before we were engaged. I'm a planner, so it drove me nuts that he wouldn't ask the question. But, when he finally did I was SO happy that I hadn't made any official plans. It's a lot less akward The ring will come soon... don't worry

Yippee! We picked our dresses out yesterday! It turned out to be much more difficult than I wanted it to be... but I think it worked out in the end. These are them, but the main color will be chocolate brown and then the sash will be a bright blue
