Your knowledge is so valuable! xx Hey there, have a look at Betsy's piccies - http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t19429 - these were by the site photographer. They are really good, I'd be over the moon with them. However, like yourself, I'm a UK bride to be, and I've decided I want to get an outside vendor. Moon Palace don't let you use outside vendors, however if they are a guest at the hotel, there hasn't been a problem in the past...but it just means you need to pay for your photographers accommodation...so it does work out pretty expensive...i've worked out for Elizabeth Medina to do my wedding, for 6 hours, then her accommodation at moon palace, then TTD session the next day, it will be £3000 (GBP). It is alot of money, and I know there are cheaper photographers there, its just totally down to personal preference. As for the gazebo's, I like the Tucan one best...because it has the big red walk for you to walk down! So when are you getting married lady?

ooh the maggie dress is gorgeous! what's the name of it? simple but beautiful! I do like number 3 as well though, seen a maggie one similar to it, ireland i'm sure its called, but not sure, it might make me look like i'm pregnant! we'll see when its my turn to go dress shopping!

oh i love it! my bridesmaid is super skinny, so this kind of dress would look really good on her...i'm gonna search it now!! hee hee xxxxxxxxx

oooh that website is fab!! i want to get t-shirts for all the wedding party to wear the morning of the wedding, they are soo cute on that site!

I love your passport invites - defo favourite i have seen! well done!

I love your passport invites - defo favourite i have seen! well done!

I am totally going for the free package now! I'm going to bring my own photographer with me (they are going to be a guest at the hotel, thats how i'm getting round that one!) and i want my cake from sweet dreams in Cabo, so would not be worth paying for any of their packages! I will defo still get some add-ins though, really want the horse and carriage, and will go with their flowers too! xxxxxxx

waw they are brilliant, so personal! xxxxx

congrats! your photos look great - and i love your flowers, they are soo original, never seen anything like it before and now thinking of it!! hee hee

wwooww your dress is gorgeous! congrats

yeah how good! I was 5th row for backstreet last month and it was an awesome view!!

waw such great pictures!

Moon Palace, Dreams and Le Blanc were my short list. We have around 40-56 people coming from both sides of the family, including some divorced people, so we chose Moon Palace because it is soooo big! Means we can request people to stay in different buildings, and then reduce the change of them bumping into each other except on the day of the wedding hopefully. I really liked Dreams because of the dolphins, but H2B wasn't too keen for some weird reason!lol maybe because my love for dolphins would maybe shadow my love for him?!hee hee Le Blanc is absolutely gorgeous but not big enough for what we are looking for for the wedding, so we are going there for our honeymoon - can't wait, we will have a butler!SOLD!!lol

I want my hair like the girl in the video - soo nice...just need to keep growing my hair!!lol

Hey! If you click on someones ticker, it will take you to another website, and you can set one of the tickers up from there..its really easy and there are loads of combinations to choose from! xxxxx

I've been trying to put off getting a dress for as long as possible because I tend to gain/lose weight fairly easily. It seems to come in cycles. Definitely not planning on going UP in weight tho! I would like to go ahead and get started on finding my BMs dresses though because one of my BMs is leaving for Pharmacy school in August. I totally know what you mean! When I first registered on here (back in March of '07) I was the only '09 bride! We too started looking at photographers back then and couldn't get anyone to give us a quote so I understand your frustrations. Amazingly, we've been engaged for just over 1 year now and the countdown is suddenly ON! You'll probably hear this a lot, but I can say from experience that it will fly by quicker than you think My advice is to plan out who you want, what hotel you want, etc. etc. and then as soon as you possibly can - BOOK IT! Even though you're starting so soon things may quickly begin to start filling up as you get closer to that 1 year mark. Btw, what does "gutted" mean?? hee hee gutted just means ragin or sad! i want to book now!!lol Waw thats good to hear someone else joined this forum away in advance too! Now we have set the date, I just want to get everything organised and make the event perfect! Thats the whole idea of planning it 2 years in advance!hee hee We have pretty much chosen everything tbh, its just the waiting game now for the hotel to be booked, then everything else can start getting booked to go with it! Can't wait!! xxxx

my groom is going to wear a kilt, as are alot of the wedding party...they only plan on wearing it for the ceremony and piccies, then changing for the evening reception....they know they will be really hot, but its only for a few hours!

your photos are really really beautiful i love your TTD in the pool - classic! xx

congrats - your pictures are lovely - and i love your dress!! xxxxxxxx

waw congrats!!! I sooo want elizabeth medina for my wedding..........its just toooo away to book anything! gutted!! xx
