my favorite was daisy getting on amber for "degrading her" by calling her a stripper ... amber's.reaction.was.CLASSIC: "dude, it's your OCCUPATION!"

I could swing a Thursday, May 14. Monday, May 25 is somewhat possible but definitely not ideal.

I think they are GORGEOUS, and I'm a graphic designer! I'm going to have such trouble with mine because I'll *never* be satisfied! I have major issues with decision-making! Can I ask, did she make the whole pocket-fold thing herself or buy that part premade? I was thinking I could just make them, but what a lot of cutting/folding/gluing that entails!

I'm trying to figure out some other date in May 2009 that might work out for us if our dates (May 15, May 8, or May 14) are truly all booked as it seems they are. It needs to be May as my FH is in school and I won't do any part of hurricane season. Also we (and our guests) need the year to save $$$. We are doing a civil (legal) wedding so we need to be there 4 business days. I'm a little confused ... I know neither weekends nor your day of arrival count, but can your wedding be ON weekday #4? I know I read somewhere on this forum that you can't have the services of the judge for the legal ceremony on weekends (is this true??), so that's really screwing everything up, making Friday weddings almost our only possibility (we're set on doing the legal thing IN MEXICO). Also, I know neither the requirement days nor the civil wedding itself can be on a Mexican holiday. Anyone know what the OFFICIAL Mexican holidays in May are? Cinco de Mayo immediately came to mind but I just read somewhere that it's not official (verification?). Specifically, I was wondering about Memorial Day (May 25, 2009) and whether that was recognized in Mexico. That's a lot of (probably stupid) questions that have most likely already been answered on here but there's so much info to wade thru (you guys are the best) that it's pretty difficult to find specifics!

I KNOW! And I'm not gonna be happy until someone at DC tells me one of my dates/times is available! Haven't heard from the resort but I've seen more than one person with my first choice, YOU with my second choice (haha how dare you?!) and even someone with my third choice! I refuse to come to terms with the fact I might not be able to have a Dreams Cancun wedding! *cries, throws tantrum*

that's great news! i'm having issues with getting a date as well, so here's hoping there's another time available!

I finally got the online wedding request form to work for me (it kept telling me to fill in my name when it was already filled in!). So now she's gotten that form AND a regular email from me. *crosses fingers* p.s. A friend of mine just came back from Puerto Vallarta and she said it was the most stunningly beautiful place she'd ever been. Best of luck to you!

Makes me want to hire Claudia Rodriguez too, but first things first ... gotta get a date reserved at Dreams!

I see you're from Bellmawr ... if you're ever interested in helping out a string band, Durning rehearses out of Oaklyn and Barrington ... there are ways to participate even if you don't play an instrument!

I read on another thread that someone couldn't get any of their choices for dates in May '09! She wanted May 15 as well. I'm so upset because I'm doing a legal civil wedding so I have to be there 4 business days before ... it really needed to be on a Thurs or Fri, and they are both taken! It's so disappointing that wedding dates can be all booked up before you can even get flight rates to know how much the trip will cost you and your guests! I thought looking a year in advance was good, but apparently not.

I've tried to make myself feel better by telling myself its all for a reason, and that I want to were a vail, and the wind there will not allow me to do that. But I'm still really bummed! If you happened to hear something different let me know. There is always the chance that someone will cancel! Oh no! May 15 was my date (14th worst case scenario), and since we were doing a civil (legal) wedding we had to be there 4 business days before which meant it HAD TO BE on a Thursday or Friday (some guests were only coming down for a long weekend). I'm screwed. I guess I can hope someone might cancel. You mentioned an afternoon available ... how many weddings do they allow per day?? Seems for you it IS for the best ... you want sunset pix and there just isn't any good vantage point for sunset pix in Cancun. West coast of Mexico is your best bet ... your pix will be gorgeous!

Dreams Cancun is my absolute top choice for May 2009 and I'll be crushed if the dates are already booked!

Hi everyone, another newbie! We've been engaged almost a year now, and plan to be married in May 2009 in Cancun, Mexico ... so far the front-runner is Dreams (like most of you, that wedding gazebo had me at hello), but some of our immediate family members might have trouble affording it, so we're still looking into a few other all-inclusives in the area as well. Been reading these forums for awhile and they've been really helpful!
