Happy Thanksgiving girls!! Hope everyone has a good one!

And it is sooooooooooooooooooooo worth the wait!

Congratulations Missy on your upcoming wedding! You are so close! Jean-Marcus posted some teaser pics from our wedding last month. Girls, I apologize for not having my review up by now, but I have been so busy. We have been out of town a couple of times since the wedding, getting the house ready for Thanksgiving cause we are having both families over this year, my mom has been sick...it is just never ending. I am still planning on doing my review very soon. Just know that your wedding will be amazing!

Awww...they look just as fabulous on the forum as they do in my email!!! lol! I absolutely love love love the teasers JM, they are absolutely amazing and I can't wait to see the rest!

Congratulations!! Have a fabulous time!

you look gorgeous! congratulations!

I liked it because we were all together and it was easier to talk to everyone versus being split up. My bouquet was beautiful! I just told them I wanted fuschia and orange bouquet. I actually had a picture but they didn't have the main flower in the bouquet, so I told them to just put something together. It was gorgeous, I was so pleased.

Just PM him and he will be able to tell you prices better than I can, we paid way before the wedding and I can't remember the full price cause we paid in two parts. He's worth every penny and more! I could not have picked a better photog!!

I totally agree with every single word Trish has said about Jean-Marcus. He was absolutely amazing!!! AMAZING!! He totally fit in with our group as well, and like Trish said, he was called many different names other than his own and never said anything about it...although I made sure to correct everybody, haha! He was snapping away during every moment from the time I was at the salon, me getting dressed, ceremony, dinner, reception, and until we took over the lobby bar after the ceremony officially ended. I know we had so many amazing pictures and I cannot wait to see them and share with everyone else. It is totally worth bringing in a photographer instead of using the resort one, and I TOTALLY reccommend Jean-Marcus. I actually had guests asking about him and how they could reccommend him (as well as Tammy Host for a TA!). Ladies, for those of you who have booked him, you will have the most amazing time with him and the most fabulous pictures. For those of you who have not booked photog yet, Jean-Marcus is your man!!!!

I feel the same way Trish! Now that its over, I feel like I don't know what to do. I was always so busy with the details of the wedding, and silly as this may sound, I miss it!! I know our life is just beginning, and we will make other wonderful memories, but the wedding was so much fun, and now its all over we did have lots of fun today shopping though, haha!

Great review Trish! sounds pretty much like I will write mine. I think we pretty much had alot of the same things. My wedding day went perfect too...who would've thought, lol!

Everything looks great Tara! You are going to have such an awesome time. It is so amazing and cherish every single moment that you can!

Thanks girls! It was so fabulous, and Kelly, its ok to be selfish! lol! I'd be the same way! Can't wait to post more pics! We are actually on the ball with the pics thing. We are uploading all of ours into the share account and have several other guests doing the same. Hope to get it done soon so you girls can see the pics from our guests. I have even seen any of them yet!

Hi girls! Despite all of the craziness with the Dreams Tulum closure, I'm back from the Paradisus Riviera Cancun and wanted to let you all know that the wedding was absolutely amazing!!!! It was beyond all that I had imagined and was the best day of my life! I will write a full review post more pics once I get some uploaded on a share account from all of the guest and when I get pics from Jean-Marcus (who was truly amazing). We just got home early this morning and we are exhausted, but I was dying to get some pics up for you girls. Hope you enjoy! Trish and I! partying in lobby bar...night just beginning me getting dancing started more to come...

You could totally not plan anything until you get down there, it was so easy. Unless, of course, you want to do the menu cards and welcome letters with your welcome dinner location! I'm getting ready to post a thread with a few non-pro teasers pics and a few from Jean-Marcus!

I have sort of put the planning aside for a bit cause I am overwhelmed with other things and can't make any decisions and decided I needed some space. Maybe I'll just show up and decide on everything there?... Thats what I did, haha, and it did work out amazingly! I still took all of my stuff I had for DT and they set it up exactly like I imagined it would be. I totally felt overwhelmed during the planning, and just know that no matter what happens, it will be everything you dreamed it would be!

Hi Paradisus girls! I just got back early this morning and wanted to say hi and my wedding at Paradisus, despite all of the craziness with Dreams Tulum, was absolutely amazing! I'm going to write a detailed review and post some pics as soon as I get a chance to recover! Perla was amazing and everything was gorgeous and I could not have planned it any better had I had more time!!

Girls, no matter what happens, I know everything will work out for your guys who still don't know about DT. I am leaving for Paradisus Riviera Cancun tomorrow morning, and I'm excited about it! Trish has texted me and told me that it was really nice. We have had a lot of obstacles in our way this week, but I just try to keep a positive attitude about everything, and I know it will all work out. I wish the best for all of you and I will tell you about it all when I return!!

So I have a few more obstacles in my way (cancelled flight, dress not done) but I'm on my way! We got our flight straightened out and we are still on!! Can't wait to get there and have a drink Trish!!! Paradisus here we come!

OK, girls. This has been the most stressful week of my life. So not only did my resort close and I have to go to a new one, it seems like things have been crazy ever since. It has been one thing after another. I've been so anxious feeling all week, and I had my bachelorette party Sat. night and when two of my friends got in a huge fight, I lost it. I went home crying (and thank goodness it was end of night anyway, and we had a blast the rest of the day except last ten minutes) and I think I had a panic attack. I couldn't breathe at all. It was super scary, the cab driver wanted to take me to the hospital but I wouldn't let him. FI was at his bachelor party so he didn't know, but he got home few minutes after I did anyway. Well just when I thought all the bad stuff had to be over, I went to pick up my dress today, and the damn guy hadn't done a thing to it! It just had to be hemmed and have the boob thingies put in. WTF? He had it for a couple of weeks. Oh well, I just told him to let me have it cause we are leaving in the morning. It was kinda funny though, cause he was in shock that I didn't bite his head off. He totally expected me to yell at him and I didn't. So, just when I think things couldn't get any worse, FI check status of our flight and it doesn't show up. He calls the airline and , whatta ya know, it had been cancelled. We booked through Expedia so we called them up and he is on phone with them right now trying to work something out!!!! Girls, I have tried to be so calm, but right now I just want to EFFFIN scream so loud! Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I will not put down the tequila bottle, if I ever make it to Mexico! Oh, I also want to apologize cause I had every intention of doing my planning thread this weekend. I also wanted to post bachelorette party pics, but we still have so much to do. I promise I will post for you girls when I get back, slong with my review. Thanks for letting me vent!!!!!!!!

Well, girls, this is it. We leave in the morning at 6am. I haven't had a chance to get on here the past couple of days. it has been crazy!! My bach party was a blast and I really want to post some pics of it tonight if I have time. We are still doing last minute things and still have to finish packing. Such procrastinators. Thank you all so much for being so supportive during the DT fiasco. It has been one stressful week. I wish the best to all of you!! I know your weddings will be amazing and I cannot wait to get back to hear all about it! I will miss all you girls who haven't left yet. Your soon!!

I am. I'm researching the Paradisus resort, trying to find out more about all of my options. The girls on that thread are great. They have sent me a bunch of info about the resort. I swear, I have no idea what I would do without this forum!! We are also working on a CD to put in OOT bags. Still working on music too!
