that is amazing!! i would take it as a sign that you 2 are meant to be..

Not for our wedding...My FI & I are paying for most of it, with his parents & my parents helping us out financially...

beautiful!!

2 out of my 3 groomsmen are refusing to wear flip-flops for the beach ceremony (apparently they're concerned b/c their feet don't look that great, i personally think that's vain & offered to pay for pedicures for all of them!!)...my FI suggested they wear loafers...but I'm worried that will look weird. What do you think? Should I have them go barefoot for the ceremony & let them wear whatever they want for the reception? Can you recommend any shoes other than sandals that would look allright on the beach? The groomsmen are wearing linen pants & a short sleeve linen shirt...what are yours wearing on their feet??

I'm the office coordinator in the financial aid office of a hospital...it's a lot of customer service, which can suck at times, but it can also be pretty rewarding since I get to help people..

thanks for all the info!! Judging by the pictures your wedding turned out great...I'm getting married at the Riu Palace Mexico resort next door & hope it'll turn out just as good:)

gorgeous pics!! I love your dress..

My wedding colors are yellow & white...I chose them because these are the main colors that come to mind for me when I think of a beach wedding...I kind of chose them on a whim but I couldn't be happier with my choice!!

i love it!! you did an awesome job! you're totally inspiring me to do something like this..

I was budgeting up to $3,000 for the dress...but I got lucky: found this amazing dress for $900 and the veil and alterations are included in the price of the dress.... I don't like the veil that much, so I'll probably get another one but even tho... it's still an awesome deal!!

I just got an email from Cinthya, my wedding coordinator at RIU...i'm just going to paste it here: "Dear Laura, The information that I sent you before you can find it available in our web site, even in the website says that is very important that you read this document cause you will be able to find our policies in there, the policy from the photographers is not something new, this has been our policy since the beginning, now there is one thing, Riu does not allow outside vendors but in the case of the photographers if you want to bring your photographer from home it´s not any problem but he/she will need to stay at that the same hotel where the wedding is going to be or if you want to hire a photographer from outside (from this area) you will need to paid 400 usd to the hotel and they will be able to be in your wedding. Our photographer company will have their website in a couple days, so you will be able to see their work. Kind Regards Cinthya P." so I guess I'll just pay the outside vendor fee....

Congratulations!! I'm getting married at the RIU resort next door to your (Riu Palace Mexico) in February...here's a FAQ I got from the wedding coordinator there, hope it helps:) FAQ BODAS.doc
