Happy Wedding Day!

I think the beach at Moon Palace is filled with seaweed (they rake it out daily from what I hear) maybe touch base with a MP bride on that... what about Beach Palace? that one is right in Cancun and just started weddings and has been recently remodeled

awwww how cute!

I am pretty sure that this is standard...from what I hear at the resorts anyway. I think that because there are so many weddings going on there all of the time they try to just get the ones handled that are close in date. Don't worry I am sure it will be fine.. really would you want to discuss the details earlier? then there would be the risk of them completley forgetting!

we are not having a wedding party either and I couldn't be happier about it! In all honesty it is way less stressful this way! As my FI put it..."what is the difference between our friends standing up or sitting down? I think they would rather be sitting!"

Quick question (okay...probably not quick but I had to draw you in...). My fiance Vanessa and I are Las Caletas brides (November 6, 2009). How many guests is too few for a Caletas wedding? We have had about 50 people say that they will go but only about 20 that we are ABSOLUTELY positive that wouldn't miss it for the world. Is that too small a number for the premier package? We know that we want the sunset ceremony and reception with a band/DJ/whatever at Caletas. I'm just so unsure of the guest list you know? When we started planning we estimated that we would have around 35 guests...I booked Las Caletas for the premier package at 35 guests and since then the "official" number has dropped a bit to probably 20-25. up until a month or something before the wedding though I can drop our guest total down from 35 and not have to pay for the extra people that i initially thought we would have. so the long answer to your question is no I do not think 20 is too little at all to book the premier package. I would book for as many as you think "might" come and then as you get closer just let Nicole or Kelly know that your number has dropped (or maybe increased!).

WOO HOO! CONGRATS! time for MEXICO!

Yari I can't wait for your pics!

I have this same dilemma right now! I don't want to leave our guests who traveled so far for us...but I also want SOME honeymoon alone time. I think we will probably just change hotels in PV. We are booked at the Vallarta Palace for the wedding as well as our guests...the new Dreams Villamagna might be a great option to look into! We decided that we are not going to leave PV and go to another destination for a couple of reasons...we are home bodies and can't stand being away for more than a week...and our boys (dogs) will miss us too much if we stay away longer than a week and I will feel bad about that too! So even if we can sneak away for a night or two I will be happy!

Happy Legal Day!

YARI! I just noticed you are a week away! How are you doing? not feeling stressed are you? when are you all heading down to PV?

Ok I think I need some help. I followed the instructions on saving the logo and for some reason when I go into the saved version it looks blurry and distorted...any ideas? I tried to save it as both a .gif and a .jpeg but it still just doesn't look right! Thanks everyone!

You are so far out from your wedding you will have PLENTY of time to get it all planned! I booked Las Caletas this past March for our April 09 date and I have (so far) been a stress free bride! My FI keeps telling me he is waiting for me to turn into a bridezilla...but it won't happen. This whole wedding thing at Las Caletas has been perfect!

hello Haley Well our Las Caletas wedding isn't until april 2009 but so far it has been the best decision we could have made! Nicole and Kelly (the planners there) are so helpful! I read nothing but rave reviews here and see BEAUTIFUL pictures too! You joined the board just in time...there are a few October Caletas brides on here so more great pics will be coming!

congrats! I love how top secret the legal day was...how perfect!

congrats! love the shoes by the way! My thoughts are with you as you guys head down to Mexico with everything going on at DT...I am sure everything will turn out just fine on that day too!

pretty pics! I really like your hair!

Those turned out great!

we are closing on our first house tomorrow! Then after we close I am leaving to go to London for a week for work! I am happy to be going to London but sad that I won't get to spend the first night in our new house with my FI...oh well! It has been a crazy weekend packing EVERYTHING. My lovely FI is going to move all of our stuff to the new house while I am gone and then I can just unpack it all when I get home. So I will see you all in a week!!

How horrible! I hope they are ok!

I agree it is a little freaky and you have to be in Mexico I think 3 business days before your ceremony for it to be legal (or something like that). I know a lot couples (including us) will legally get married in the states before the ceremony in Mexico. that way you don't have to worry about the blood test and other requirements. A lot of people just go to the courthouse to get married or something very simple like that in the US because their "real" wedding is going to be days or weeks later in Mexico or the other country of choice.

well that sure sucks! maybe you can just postpone your "real" celebration until tomorrow and then go all out then?! well happy birthday anyway!

yes! I am so excited for all these LC weddings coming up! It has been WAY too long since we have seen new LC pics!
