They just don't care... They look at it as more of an impostion than an exciting event. If I told them no one else was coming they would stay home. I just thought that this would be something they would be excited about- I am the first of my siblings to be married. I hoped they would be excited. I guess I should just be happy that they are coming at all... but that is actually stressing me more because now I know they don't really want to be there. It totally sucks that your parents are not excited about the DW and staying as long as you hoped. But if they are negative maybe its better they aren't there the whole time. I know your stressed that they don't want to be there but be glad you don't have to stress over them the whole time your on vacation celebrating your marriage! You will have a lot of other friends and family that are excited to be there and you will be able to have lots of fun with them!

Thanks for the advice, but I have sent it several times! Daniella told my TA she has it and will start working on it. At least this is what she says this week!

If you look on trip advisor I believe there is some on there. I also think Daniella the WC sent me one I will look for it at my home computer tonight and see if I can figure out how to send it to you.

I didn't even think that you could have put it in a different format! But the 2 and 3 docs were some of the same flowers she sent to me and told me they were in the VIP. The prices were on a excel spread sheet with the # that was printed next to the flowers on the other form on the excel form so you could see what the price was. If that makes any sense? She also sent you more flowers of pictures than me. Do you have any centerpiece pics from Dreams?

I will use a similar service to ship to Jamaica from NYC and the cost of shipping a large box is about $45. In Jamaica my fiancee's family will have to go to the port and pick up the items - they won't deliver to the hotel, not quite like UPS. Thanks for the tip! But does it matter if I don't have any family in Mexico to pick it up? Or would that not work?

This is how she is going to complete you contract. I sent mine to her back in March and still haven't gotten a first draft contract. So it will probably be a while before you get one.... And it does mean she is holding your date for you. I was stressing over reserving the date and not having a contract signed and Daniella assured me despite the lack of the contract the date was reserved for us. Plus TA Jennifer is helping me and she also got confirmation my date was reserved for me. You are an official Dreams Cancun Bride!!!!!

You did a great job! Love the samps!

I think you will be ok. I am addicted to this site and I am on it randomly at work throughout the day. I also have come across soem sites with some risky pics and words and I have been ok.

I love the brochure idea! I think its great for guest to have something to refer to.

Good luck! Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers!

Wow Jessica! I am totally impressed! Your wedding is going to be amazing. You did such a great job paying attention to detail and coordinating everything. Because you did great with every thing else I want to know what your cake is going to look like?

Quote: Originally Posted by SIMBASIM Kinda the same reason I planned in early June. All the dates in May I preferred were already taken and that was way back in Dec/Jan.

But I was concerned about flights being cancelled due to the Hurricanes in other places. Hopefully our theory will work out and we wont have to worry about any weather issues messing up our wedding!

We will be the unstoppable BDW brides, every one just better watch out! Claudia and Daniella will not be able to say no to any of our demands! We totally all need to get together for some shots! When are you guys coming down? Cancunbride I don't think I am bringing my centerpieces down. I really want flowers (not really sure what kind of flowers or what I want it to look like) and I think even if I could manage a DIY I don't want to deal with all the hassel of transporting them. I do plan to bring other decorations down though, like paper lanters and some other stuff. Have you gotten any pictures and prices of centerpieces for down there? After seeing the prices of the boquet I am sure I will be paying a pretty penny. Have you decided on your centerpieces yet? A lot of the details are stillup in the air for me. I just picked out my STD and that is about all I have accomplished, besides the confirmation of our date and getting a TA. Hartyt509 have you gotten the picture of your dress up yet so we can decide on those shoes?!

You have done an amazing job!

Your invitations look great. I love the color! I am not a DIY at all so I give you lots of props!

Woo Hoo! Congrats on St. Lucia! I was considering eloping to St. Lucia. It looks so beautiful and everything I imagine paradise to be. Ahh I bet you will have so much fun! Do you know where you are going to stay and get married at?

love the pics!

Mums would also work very easily but I wanted to use "fake" flowers instead. I found these spheres at CB2 and spray painted them, and then added laytex orchids. This is the result. The spheres come in 3 sizes and were about 8.95 to 4.95 each. The largest is about 12 inches the smallest is 6 inches. Cake table Pomander Cut Open Light Before painting and After Wow! You did a great job! It looks professionally done. You have inspired me! How do you plan to transport all of them? My concern with doing a lot of DIY things and then bringing them down to the resort is the price of flying them down with me. My resort will not allow you to mail any packages down prior to you wedding. And now that some airlines are makeing you pay big bucks for checking bags I am trying to weight the cost.

Thanks for your review! You looked beautiful! Congrats!

Ill let you guys know once my date is secure... We will be at Dreams at the same time! You wedding is a day after mine. Hurrican season doesn't officially start until June. So if figured since we are mid-May we should be fine.
