OMG...couch...pjs...1 vs 100...(popcorn) Alas I have to drag myself off soon and go to the movies and see Juno And for the record, anxiety attacks definitely count as exercise

I like to make greek yogurt dip... 3 Cups Low Fat/Fat Free Plain Yogurt 1 english cucumber (the long skinny ones) 1 glove garlic 1 bunch fresh dill salt to taste Pour the yogurt into a cheesecloth and strain over a bowl for 2 hours to remove excess liquid (be sure to keep it in the fridge...my sister forgot this part, but she burns water). Peel, seed, and dice cucumber Chop dill Mince glove of garlic, add a pinch of salt, then mash with side of knife on cutting board until garlic paste Combine all ingredients in a bowl and refridgerate for 30 minutes to combine flavors. While dip is chilling, spray 6 small whole wheat pitas with spray butter or oil olive flavored pam and sprinkle with salt. Pop pitas in the oven for 10 minutes at 350. Remove and slice into triangle wedges and serve alongside the Greek dip. A half cup of dip and 6 pita triangles is roughly 4pts!

so unfortunately i'm too uptight a person not to worry that it'll rain on my wedding day in RM (which has yet to be planned). i'm wondering which resorts in particular have great rain locations in the event the weather doesn't cooperate...

Thanks SO much for passing along all of this information! We ARE looking for a more intimate spot for our ceremony and reception (as opposed to a big resort). We were thinking of getting married in January or February '09, but if Al Cielo is really staying open until the end of the year, we might considering moving our date up to November '08. I'll give them a call soon... Can't thank you enough for the other location suggests you made, too...I'll look into those, as well.

At least the Al Cielo will be open long enough for your wedding...that's good news! thanks for the info, guess its back to the drawing board for me

Great job Leigh! How's the tongue?

hi - i keep received conflicting information about these two beachfront properties in northern PDC. some have them both closed already, others have one or the other closed, some have them open through the end of 08. just wondering if anyone has more concrete info...can't seem to get a response from either property (which could be a sign!)

thanks for the link to the video...the villa looks great, but I'm concerned it'd be a trek for guests from whatever hotel/resort they'll be staying at... Off topic, but did you also shoot the video at Cannon House?

Can I ask who your wedding planner is? Is she associated with the hotel or an outside consultant? Would you recommend her to others?

i'm so excited about WW...I'm a nerd and spent last night reading all the new materials they handed out...don't forget to drink your water!!!

thanks ladies, i'll check these out!

i'm heading to my first meeting tonight...i did WW once before and was pretty successful, but fell off the wagon when I started co-habitating with my FI and eating everything he ate (oops!). Anyway, looking forward to getting back on track and in shape...good luck ladies!

Really helpful review - thanks! (and i echo that your pics are gorgeous!). Question - did you get the impression that they would have honored your requests had you known, ie setting up an actual bar and actually passing the hor d'oeurves during the cocktail hour? Just curious if it would be a battle...

ooh, good question! i don't have an answer, but i'll be checking back to see if one of the other brides have info on this...a bonfire on the beach would be so much fun!

hi there, isn't this forum great?!? hopefully a lot of the ladies will respond, but answers to some of your questions can be found by searching the threads that already exist (i'm no expert, just sharing what i've picked up so far!). for example, there are a bunch of ROLL CALL threads for some of the popular resorts that has consolidated info on the brides that are getting married there and their dates. the decision process seems to be the biggest challenge for just about everyone so you're def not alone as for what made everyone's decision, if you read through the threads, many of the brides have been SO great at laying out the pros and cons of the different resorts and how they made the decision. just wanted to share since sometimes posts like these don't get a ton of responses since the answers have already been posted elsewhere happy planning!!!

wow - this thread has SO much information! and the pics are great! i have emails into them too about wedding info...whoever hears back first please share!

Has anyone rented a private villa in cancun/PDC/tulum for their wedding reception? My FI is big on this idea, but I think it sounds like a lot more work/stress than having our wedding at a resort - just curious about others experiences...thanks!
