I didn't have a maggie dress, but my dress was that designers version of diamond white and you couldn't tell the difference next to DH's white shirt. All of those white colors are so close you'll never notice

I'm torn about what to do with my long, boring, blonde hair. My options are brown or short. I would say both, but I know I'm not ballsy enough to do that. 50% of the time I want brown, 50% of the time I want to go short. This is basically what my hair looks like every day: and to show how long it is: So I was thinking either a cute, shoulder length bob, or a darker color. Dark Option would be like Jennifer Aniston's in this pic: Or a bob kinda like this but a little shorter:

those are some cool pictures! you look amazing!

i say hot pink roses to add a bright pop of color!

so my dress was see through from the waist down, when wet. I wore light blue undies and you could only see them in a few pics.. this is the pic that you can see them the most So I guess I'm not sure if it's better to have them be seen or not? Who knows! I can't decide - if you couldn't see them could you still tell the dress was see through?

However, we had 7 more days in PV before we left so I didn't have to worry about my dress being wet on the way home. But traveling with a wet dress wouldn't have changed my mind about TTD. It was so much fun and I love the pics so I would have still done it even if we left PV that same day. Would have just thrown the dress in a large plastic bag and then hung it up to dry at home.

Here is the wedding time line that we gave to our guests: Wedding Day Timeline - November 2, 2008 2:30 pm - Meet in Dreams PV Lobby for transfer to Marina 3:15 pm - Arrive at Marina 3:30 pm - Boat departs for Las Caletas (there is only ONE boat, so please don't miss it ) 4:30 pm - Arrive at Las Caletas 5:15 pm - Ceremony begins 5:45 pm - Cocktail hour 6:45 pm - Dinner followed by dancing 10:30 pm - Boat departs Las Caletas 11:30 pm - Arrive back at marina

I haven't used him, but I must say that I always love the pictures he posts! Plus, from his activity here, he seems like a really nice guy. Gook luck picking a photographer!

everything looks great!! have a great wedding!

Do you have any recommendations around town that would make for a pretty background...we were thinking Biltmore, westin Keirlands or Sedona? Hi. Yes, we loved our photographer - Stephany. However, she lives in Minnesota - which is where we lived when we started planning the wedding, and where we did our engagement pictures. Sorry I can't be of more help! But if we did engagement pictures here I would have LOVED to go to Sedona!

celina, i can't believe that about your AHR. how RUDE!! I'd be so mad at those no show people. We also started some home stuff, now that the wedding is over. Just some painting and christmas decorating, but it's still kinda fun!

you look so beautiful!

can you post a pic here?

I would 100% say that the money you spend on the TTD is worth it! Our TTD pictures are some of our most favorite pictures. My mom was 100% against the TTD... until she saw the pictures, and now some of the TTD pics are her favorite too. So I vote, if you have the money you should definitley do it!

Nicole says she can do anything - which is a little overwhelming. What do people suggest? Did you go with a filling? Did anyone do chocolate cake? Does it taste like traditional wedding cake? Thanks!! We did chocolate/chocolate cake. It was pretty darn tasty. We didn't have any specifications as to what we wanted our cake to look like. I actually thought a brown cake was going to be really ugly! But I think it turned out cute with the bright flowers. Here's a pic:

thanks for all of your nice comments ladies! i'm very happy with how our day and pictures turned out!

I keep worrying that it will be too cool for people to swim during our early November wedding. It won't be too cold for people to swim at all! We were totally surprised by how warm it was in November. I told people they should pack pashminas and sweaters for the nighttime.... and I felt like a total idiot! It's so warm in November you don't need a sweater or pashmina at all! We spent all of our days swimming in the pool or ocean. Even swam at LC before the wedding

your stuff looks awesome! have a great time!

how fun!! Can I go too?

Our ceremony started at 4:30 and we left Las Caletas at 11pm. But then we had an hour boat ride of more music, drinks and dancing. So total I'd say 7ish hours total. 4:30-12:00. And then a large part of our group continued on at the lobby bar.

We looked into Los Burros Bar - super casual, on the beach, budget friendly. Daquiri Dicks and Fajita Republic. Los Burros Bar and Daquiri Dicks were responsive. Fajita Republic, not so much. But I know Celina (Soontobemrse) had good luck at Fajita Republic. In the end we didn't have a WD because I waited so long to plan it, oops! However I do have a contact person and some menus/pricing for Los Burros Bar and Daquiri Dicks if you want it.

Hi, welcome! Good luck picking a spot!!
