I think the videographer accidentally burned it in widescreen but filmed in it full screen mode. I am going to email him today and hope he can burn us another copy. wow u look so pretty in your pics... congrats!

Hi ladies.... let me clear this up, DO NOT DRINK IT! lol What you do is grab 1/2 a handful of coffee grinds and then pour some lotion of top of that and mix it... or you can also just mix it in a small bowl, just enough to rub it on the areas.. Scrub away for about 2 minutes then into the shower... Do just enough for a one time cause you want to make sure you keep it fresh with the grinds.

Ugh-- I fight this friend of myne also that doesnt go away 80% of the women have cellulite.... So, there most certainly must be a reason why it exists. But a bigger question on the minds of so many women might be: How can I get rid of cellulite? They do not only think about it, they often scream it out : Help me get rid of my cellulite now! As a result of so many people suffering from cellulite the cosmetic industry has developed numerous products, such as creams, lotions and who knows what else… It is a fact that because the demand for cellulite treatments is huge that the cosmetic industry delivers even more of those products. But problem is that those products are often very expensive and not everyone has the funds to buy a treatment. It does not really have to be expensive. There are home made remedies to treat cellulite and they will only cost a fraction of what you would pay for the cosmetic brands. What it will cost you in a manner of speaking is a ‘cup of coffee’ a day. But this time it is meant literally. Cellulite can be treated with coffee grind. So, what is that remedy to help you get rid of cellulite? All you need is a cheap hand lotion and caffeinated coffee. You have to grind the coffee into dust and mix the coffee grind with the hand lotion. As a result you will have a cream. Rub it into you cellulite areas and leave it for a minute. Rinse it off in the shower. Do this everyday and you will see those areas get smoother and firmer. It is very important that you do not use decaffeinated coffee because it is the caffeine that reduces the cellulite. Of course you can buy creams that contain coffee extract, but fact is that the remedy described above is as effective if not better, but most important much less expensive. So, for a cup of coffee a day you can literally get rid of your cellulite. Good Luck Ladies!!!

My TA got me 434.00 round trip from LAX to Cancun, nonstop

Does anyone know approximately how big the round tables are? Im trying to see if my table runners would fit the tables.. I think they are going to be too small!!

what about Cumbias and Banda.. heehee Camaron Pelon Tu Quieres or Banda Machos Los Tucanes De Tijuana... Now thats some real mexican music, throw on your sobrero!!

wow they look great, I wouldnt have the patience to do so many and still manage to make them look that nice... congrats!

how fun... u looked absolutely beautiful

I ordered my raffia fans in hotpink and I just got them in the mail... I am absolutely in love with them, Im planning on incorporating black and white polka dot ribbon to the handles and using them during the ceremony

I would say go with a longer more leaner vace...sit it maybe on some mirror or something and then leave the candles maybe some rose petals and a thin manzanilla branch

Thank you to everyone for their help..I went with two different outfits! Ill post pix as soon as I get them!

Think of shapes and colors that compliment your figure and skin tone. And dont forget...you can always change and have 2 outfits! Thank you for your advise, I guess the location where they are shooting us was what was making my wardrobe confusing

Is there anything in particular that we are suppose to wear? We are suppose to be getting our pictures done this Sunday and I have no clue what to wear... Ive seen casual photos where the Bride and Groom are just wearing hoodies and Ive seen dressy in dresses...HELPPP!

I agree however what he doesn't get is HE IS TAKING OURS FFS!!! apparently thats a risk with everyone - i swear he is a frigging caveman at times. So my pics will be shit lol Harty...did you try cancun studios? There not that bad. Cecilia Dumas is also very reasonable which is who I decided to go with

We went with the Dreams Ultimate package as I thought it would have most stuff we needed in it which is $2650. She sent through the contract adding on: - $198 for the sound system - $924 for a DJ at the reception - $307 for the extra 11 guests (who are all staying at the hotel) for the cocktail hour - $585 for the extra 11 guests (who are all staying at the hotel) for International open bar for 3 hours for reception. - around $300 for 3 bridesmaid bouquets and 1 flower girl bouquet - $630 for Blood tests, translation of birth cert and Marriage cert in total it's working out at least $5594, more than double the wedding package mainly because I have 31 guests going and the package only covers 20. They are all staying at the hotel but as we get our own waiters etc we need to pay extra which is fair enough but it all seems quite expensive and no doubt there may be a couple more extras when we get over there!! What seemed like the cheaper options is turning out to be pretty expensive Has anyone else had any similar experiences? Thanks for the advice with the Ipod, I just wanted a DJ as I didn't want to have to worry about anything when I get over there but I don't even know if the DJ is any good and would be worth all that money?? The sound system I thought we would need so that our guests can hear what is going on as it might be quite noisy right next to the ocean!! Ps. What thread will I find Kat's review on?? Thanks again L x Have you thought about maybe getting married in your city or state and then just having a ceremony out there? That would drop your $600+ off the bat. I would do that and just have a sand ceremony or candle ceremony, nobody will ever know you did this.

We've already put our deposit down for our flight and hotel so I'm hoping everything is okay with the wedding date! Grrrr is so frustrating since you can't ever get a hold of Gaby in person! Anyway, I'm planning to have the reception on the beach...does anyone know if it might be too windy to have it on the beach? Thanks IM a May 14th Bride and Im hosting it on the beach...Its a perfect spot for a May wedding

What about getting them through Mexico customs...is that a problem, IF you know...? :-) I'm thinking of doing this too...I was just wondering, if they're heavy, it might end up costing more than just getting the resort to do them EDIT -- just saw you're not getting married til May '09 :-) But maybe someone else has shipped stuff and knows if it's super expensive or not...? Im shipping abut 10 pomanders made out of silk flowers and several empty boxes to sit them on, they told me it would run about 60.00 which to me is perfect. Shipping them in December.

Anything more than the minimum is closer to $100 each. I'd rather stuff a suitcase with stuff:-) Plus, it gives us a chnace to personalize it more... BUT, if they were only $30 each, I too would just go with what the resort is offering... I completed agree...My centerpieces were running at $200.00 at Dreams, Cancun. They offered me these teeny weenie little things to place in the middle. Nothing I liked. So I decided to just make my own and ship them to Claudia 2 months in advance.
