Anyhow, thanks to all the previous LC brides for the great posts and information. I am so excited to get my date confirmed and the deposit down. Quick confirmation from the old post information though - it sounds like you def cannot get legally married at LC but have to do it on the dock before you leave or in PV? Sound right? We weren't going to do a legal here before leaving but I am now thinking we should and save us the trouble of running around for blood tests etc. whoa that is a lot of posts to read through! I might be wrong but I think (and check with kelly for sure) there might be a way for you to get legally married there now. Most though don't want to mess with all the logistics of it (ie: blood samples) and just get married legally at home. you don't even have to tell anyone that if you don't want to...your guests will never know the difference!

hello and welcome. when you said boutique hotel I instantly thought of Playa Fiesta in Puerto Vallarta. check the thread out. basically your guests can take over the entire hotel and the wedding and everything will be there. there are lots of rave reviews on it! http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...eddings-36534/

I don't know if it was just our room, but it seemed older where the Grand Class Suite was remodeled and new. The bigger suite had stairs to the bedroom and it was more of a pain than anything - glad we only upgraded for one night. I'd stay with the less expensive Grand Class Suite - it was perfect and new. Jess I saw your pics and they looked great! bummer though on the upgrade. the suite you upgraded to though was it in the main part of the hotel or was it one of the ones as you drive in? (the ones that look like small little town homes) Quote: Originally Posted by weddinggirl72 Thanks for the tips Jess! Did you get any timeshare pressure while you were there? I'm worried about my guests being bothered by this. We never were pressured with any timeshare things. the concierge though did try to get us to sign up for tours (snorkeling, hiking, etc) we had no interest in that at that point so we just said no thanks. it really wasn't a huge deal though

Also, does anyone know if I will still be able to go out early the morning of the ceremony if its on a Sunday? I dont think they run day trips on sundays. Thanks! Melissa we didn't work out ceremony details with Brad (the minister) until probably 2 weeks before the wedding. there really is no need to do all that so far in advance with him although it would be a good idea between now and then to start finding any special readings, ceremony's etc that you might want to incorporate into your ceremony and set those aside. that way when the time does come to work with the LC minister you are ready and can just pass your ideas right along.

I have been searching this website since I got engaged two months ago looking for THE PLACE. Well, thanks to your reviews of LC I really think I have found it. I am so excited! And best of all, when I showed FI the pics of LC he got excited too. Now to just decide on the date. Right now we are leaning towards Feb 2011 - we are starting to build a house this April so have a busy year ahead. But wow! that seems like a long time to wait... Thanks for all the ideas and discussion - keep it up so I can keep dreaming of my perfect day! Aww I am glad you found the forum! I too found LC completely through the forum. I fell in love with it right away too and just had to convince my hubby that it was right. Any questions or anything just ask! Really though, planning a LC wedding is EASY! happy planning!

oh wait...isn't her wedding tomorrow? the 5th? Either way we are thinking about her and that is all that matters!

happy wedding day autumn! hope you are having a great day Mrs!

Nina, as Jess mentioned try searching the the threads first to find recommendations first. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...k-forum-32313/ hope that helps!

wow those underwater pics in the Cenote are AMAZING! love them! can't wait to see more! Congrats!

Yep that is right I got my from China Town in NYC. they were about $3 each, so not sure if there someplace like that near you? also I know that some brides on here just placed a large order through this site. not sure on the pricing though for just your order?

be sure to search the forums, there are threads out there already with some suggestions. never hurts to bring an old thread back to life http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...-dresses-9096/ http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...dresses-40067/

awww yes! mine should be coming in the mail any day now! so glad Yael and Erika were making their books at the same time as I was! I am just bummed I couldn't get the heavier paper on mine (you can only get that paper on books up to a certain number of pages. my book exceeded that) yes I can't wait to see your book in real life E!

oh also Jess is on her honeymoon there RIGHT NOW! so I am sure she can add her two cents next week when she gets back!

check the link in my siggy for my Casa Velas honeymoon review...IT WAS AMAZING!

I was a Maggie bride (posted my pics somewhere on this thread) anyway I was so excited to see they used my pic on the Maggie Bride section of the website! I had to share! Andrea Brown, Arvada CO - Maggie Bride I am still in love with my dress and IF I could do it all over again I would pick another Maggie dress in a heartbeat!

oh Erin congrats!!!!!!! so glad everything worked out well for you! I never get tired or reading the LC reviews, the let me re-live my wonderful day all over again! I can't wait to see more pics! especially of you in your dress! there is only that on you posted by the sign. I love that long table you had for the reception rather than the smaller separated ones. so glad the pashminas were a hit! they came in handy for the boat ride back right? also the tequila shots! that is always fun to look back on those pics too! EVERYONE taking a shot on your wedding day...that is priceless! congrats Mrs.! be sure to share your other pics! I want to see your TTD's!
