Thanks for the advice ladies!! I have never stayed at a B&B before so I figured we could try that, its sounds fun.

For those of you who had or are having a sand ceremony at Dreams did your WC provide the glass containers needed or did you have to bring your own with you? I have been looking at a few on ebay but just wanted to avoid bringing anything made of glass with me on the plane in fear of it breaking. I haven't asked Yesica yet but if anyone knows can you please post a response on here. Thanks Oh and does anyone have recommendations on wording for a sand ceremony or any websites? This is the best one I have found so far: Wedding Sand Ceremony | Sand Ceremony Vows, Wedding Officiant, Marriage License Services

Does anyone have any recomendations for places to Honeymoon in Napa Valley? We just decided that after we get back from our wedding in Cabo we want to do something in the states by ourselves. I have always wanted to go wine tasting in Napa so I think thats what we are going to do. We will probably stay 4 days and I want to go sightseeing in San Fran one day and spend the rest of the time in Napa. I haven't researched places to stay yet but I figured someone here might have had a great experience at a B&B or hotel in Napa and could give me some pointers! Thanks

Congrats the pictures look great! And welcome back to Dallas... we have had some crazy weather lately!

I think the Me Cabo looks really nice! Not sure how much it costs per night though. Cabo San Lucas Mexico|Los Cabos|Cabo San Lucas Resorts|ME Cabo

WOW those are really nice! Please let me know where you ordered them from!! thanks.

Not that this is the worst thing ever...but for guests, I know alot of them would fuss if they knew they could have just watched us get married locally. Everyone has different types of guests though... I agree...that is exactly why I am also having the legal ceremony done in Mexico. Plus I wanted only one real wedding date.

I know you all ordered these awhile ago but can anyone tell me the website or company you ordered the pashminas from?? I want to get some. Thanks.

I pieced mine together, and he told me it was too long. So I cut it down. He was nice about it, but I was kinda peeved at first. He's extremely professional and quick to respond. We were originally going to do a legal ceremony but now we are thinking about going to Vegas for a long weekend and doing the legal part there and having the symbolic ceremony in Cabo. I need to decide soon since its only 3 months away!! Did Yesica give you his info? I guess maybe I should tell her first huh? Is anyone doing the sand ceremony? I like that idea.

Oh ok, that is good news! Thanks!

Does anyone know what color bows they offer for the chairs?

Are you guys doing a legal ceremony at Dreams?

Thank you! Yeah I think its pretty too... just a little too fancy now that I have my wedding ideas all planned out

I have decided not to wear a veil to my beach wedding, so I put it up for sale on ebay. Item number: 290209203962 I bought this at Demetrios for $279.00 and I am starting the ebay auction at 99 cents! I have decided not to wear a veil and instead am going to put flowers in my hair. Anyway.......hopefully my loss can a great deal for someone else. I started the auction really low cause I figure I am not going to wear it so someone else hopefully will. Let me know if there is any interest or questions. Thank you! NEW Ivory Wedding Veil from Demetrios, retail $279 - eBay (item 290209203962 end time Mar-01-08 16:52:29 PST)

If you are going to use Tomas Barren for photography and video you might just want to upgrade to the Dreams Ultimate Wedding package. That is what I am doing and I was told he is the photographer Dreams uses for that. That package includes dinner for 20 people (I think $68 each additional) and photo and video- plus alot of other things. Then you can still use outside vendors for other things and you will still probably come out saving alot. I am doing the package to save myself all the time, stress, and money! Here is the info from dreams website for that package: DREAMS ULTIMATE WEDDING PACKAGE Selling Price $2,650 USD This package includes: Services of justice of peace or minister Wedding organization and personalization of our wedding coordinator Preparation and ironing of the wedding dress and grooms tuxedo/suit Complimentary room for the groom the night before the wedding (based on availability) Personal dressing assistant Use of the wedding gazebo or beach front arbor Bride’s Bouquet Two boutonnieres and two corsages for parents or witnesses Special Gold Wedding Dinner party (for up to 20 guests staying at the hotel) One natural floral centerpiece for bride and groom dinner table One natural floral centerpiece for ceremonial table Wedding cake and sparkling wine for 20 guests One hour Gold cocktail party with hors d’oeuvres (for up to 20 guests staying at the hotel) Special turn down service Bride’s hair styling for ceremony Make-up application for bride 15% discount on all Spa treatments (products not included) 50 full color photos and wedding album Honeymoon Package Late check-out for bride and groom (based on availability) Gazebo décor - chairs with white covers, ceremonial table, and carpeted walkway Live Mexican music trio (1 set) Video of the ceremony (30 min.

Hi Ladies! Question to those who had a legal ceremony at Dreams Cabo-- Yesica told me we will get our marriage certificate right away so we can take it back home but I forgot to ask if it was in English or Spanish... does anyone know?

Yeah I am expecting about 26 guests so I will probably order 30 mugs so we will have a few extra just in case. I am on discountmugs.com now looking at the clip art. Thanks for the coupon code!
