Sounds absolutely wonderful! make sure you bring back lots of pics and details of course!

Congrats and all the best!

Great job ladies! I did 45 minutes on the treadmill and 30 on the bike - then came home and had a big glass of wine!

Welcome fellow Ontarian and happy planning!

welcome Anne and happy planning!

Welcome Dani And Happy Planning!

I am soo impressed ladies! You are inspiring me to get moving! Received my Raffia Fans from oriental trading yesterday and they're great so going to get moving on the ribbon for those.. Did anyone do towels for their OOTS? Trying to find a place to get them cheap!

We are giving one bag per couple and one bag for each single guest, regardless of whether they are sharing a room. If there are two single people sharing a room (including mother and daughter) there will be two bags... Hope that helps!

welcome and happy planning!

Welcome! I am getting married right around the same time as you ... a beautiful time of year in Mexico!

Absolutely Gorgeous!

Can you give us a sense of what you were quoted? I know with being at an all-inclusive we were charged $10 per person for hour - essentially for a private bar and staff..

Thanks for the heads up on the champagne becks - definitely going to go that venue! The DJ was such a hard decision - really wanted Mannia but thought SWANK would be much more stress free!

Hi Kim! We are all keeners in this thread and are in love love love with the Paradisus! I think Becks actually secretly has shares in it! (JJ) In terms of outside photog - we are bringing someone down with us for the week - staying at the resort etc. and they are charging us nothing. I know that Becks is doing something similar with no issue - in terms of using someone local - somebody else may need to chime in on this one! On another note - after many discussions with FI and going back and forth we booked SWANK. He was able to give me five hours for the price of the 2007 rate which only ended up being about 200 bucks more than Mannia - Honestly it is really b/c I don't want to deal with any potential conflicts..

I cannot say it enough that I know how you feel. I got the job I have now after articling (now three years later) and I cannot imagine being anywhere else. If nothing else - it is a test of your relationship. FI lost his job last year and it took him 3 months to find something - did it suck? Absolutely! For both of us for different reasons. But it certainly made us realize that we can get through anything together ! Sniff sniff..

Coming from someone who has been through the exact process you described I know how frustrating and scary it is. I worked myself to the bone for articling here in TOronto only to find out that I wasn't being hired back. While in hindsight it was the best thing that ever happened to me - I know that at the time I was devasted and scared that there would be nothing else out there. What type of law does he practice? If you PM me a little more information I may have some connections I can put him in contact with. The other option is to go to a few of the mentors at his firm that he has/had a good relationship with and see if they have any other contacts. He should also check out the Ontario Reports (weekly journal with tons of jobs).

Welcome to the forum and happy planning!

Welcome and happy planning!

We have 44 people booked so far and we are doing assigned seating - less headaches for everyone I think ...

Welcome Tony! Your work is stunning!

Best of luck with everything. Thanks for all your wonderful advice and suggestions - you cannot know how much it has helped in my planning!

Thanks ladies! I will certainly check all these options out!
