welcome to the forum! Happy Planning!

Try contacting them and telling them, I love your website, all of my friends recommended it, yada yada... sometimes if you are really nice about things people respond really well to it and they will help you out... they have to understand, everybody makes mistakes!

Number 1 is very unique... the detail... I love it!

Oh Hey, sorry, also wanted to ask, I am assuming we can just burn CDs on the computer and they will work down there? Sometimes people have CD players that do not play burnt CDs

And this is what she said regarding the ceremony (we had a religious one): "I don´t have any copy from the Minister because he doesn´t have a format for the ceremonies, But I can tell you that as the religious wedding is not a legal one ( in Mexico the religion has nothing to do with the law), so no papers are required, the wedding couple will receive a certificate from the minister. The minister is not catholic is non denominational one. The wedding takes like 25 minutes and the minister talks about the couple , about love, reads some passages from the Bible and give the couple a blessing. (in this middle you can add the sand ceremony or at the end) The exchange of vows is like the traditional one or the wedding couple can say their own. The minister is very flexible so it has happened that there are weddings where some familiy membersw want to read something or they want to sing and it is ok. I hope this can help you out to get a better picture of our religiuos ceremonies" Good to know about the whole Ipod business! I just thought it might be easier, but I guess that's a no go. And I don't know if it was explained before, but what is the sand ceremony?

The Dollar Sore or a discount store would probably be a great place to get things... another good, I would say GREAT tip if you ever order anything online... when you go to checkout, a lot of times there is an area for a coupon code or a promotion code. If you don't have one, open another browser window and type in the company name followed by "coupon code" or "promo code".... in doing this, I saved $40 on my invites, and on a dress for another wedding I attended....

Since I just saw it on the map, does anyone know what it costs, or times for the ferry over to Cozumel? Just out of curiousity?

Thanks for the info Martha! It is really appreciated. Can't wait to see your pics!

Congrats and happy planning!

At first when my fiance listened to the first line, and it says "I may not always love you"... and he was like WHAT?! but then it follows by "as long as there are stars above you, you'd never need to doubt it, I'd make you so sure about it, God only knows what I'd be without you." and also "If you should ever leave me, though life would still go on believe me, the world would show nothing to me, so what good would living do me"..... I am a singer so I am a lyric nut!!! but this song is so great! and listen to the words to the Marvin one "You're all I need to get by"... so perfect... and perfect because of the fade in and the build! (okay, I really am a music nutttt!!) PS... Like I tell everyone, listen to the song "Daddy" by Kendall Payne... it is so beautiful

We want to use Marvin Gay and Tammy Terrel "You're All I need to get by" for the recessional... I also love the song "God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys, and John Legend "Each Day gets better".... just some suggestions!

I totally want to do this too... some of the songs we have are hard to find, even our first dance, and I want to make sure we have them. Great idea!

OMG... the song The Luckiest by Ben Folds made me cry like a baby... it describes how I truly feel... it's so crazy...

You're a fellow Jersey girl! Yeahhh! Yeah, We would definitely want our wedding to be in English, is this possible? considering we are only having the religious ceremony and doing the legal part at home (shhhh!) And also we would definitely like to write our own vows. Is all of this possible? Does anyone know? Also, we were planning on using an Ipod for the DJ... I believe they said that this is okay. Thank you ladies!!!

I am waiting to find out group rates from the travel agent, but she said she can't get them for a little while until airfare becomes available and we are more aware of how many guests we are having.

Hi everyone! We are getting married June 27 2009 at the Gran Bahia Principe Tulum in Riviera Maya Mexico! One September 13, we are going to have an engagement party at my parents house. For our guests, we want it to be special, and I was wondering if anyone has any fun ideas for decorating, or things we should/could do to make it great! Things that won't break the bank too... (decor and such) Thank you so much!!!

Disney sounds awesome! One of my friends is actually looking to propose there.

The honeymoon is definitely what you make of it. It might even be more romantic! And it depends what you are looking for... if you are not on a beach, or in a tropical location, it might not bother you at all!

Welcome! We are getting married in Mexico June 2009 too!!! Best of luck planning!

Congrats and have fun planning!

Congrats and welcome Jennifer!
