Wow, your photos are really great! I love your makeup, you look so pretty. You are such a cute couple!

How many guests are you having? And what is your budget? I'm staying at the Riu also but my ceremony and reception are at the Fiesta Americana (Imperial Suite). The cost will totally depend on how many guests you're having so if you have a small guest list it could be a reasonable option for you...

We're having 65 but the lounge furniture will not fit even half of the people - we're also doing larger tables and cocktail tables so some people will be standing/sitting elsewhere. I don't think it's necessary to have a loung seat for everyone, but that's just my opinion!

Wow, I LOVE your website! It's so original and unique and totally creative. Awesome job, your guests are going to love it!

Ooops, I missed this thread! Happy wedding day! I hope it was amazing

It all depends on how much seating and lighting you want, etc. Ours is about $1490 plus the taxes and gratuity but that also includes 65 chivari chairs. How many guests are you having?

Thanks everyone! Morgan absolutely 100% deserved it this month!

That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing

Wow, whoever wins this is going to be super lucky!

Wow that's quite a list But it's all really fun exciting stuff (well except for that banking and insurance crap). Let me know if I can help with anything! Less than one month now, I can't believe how fast time has flown by!

Welcome to the forum Jamie! It's so cool that you guys met on match.com - I love those stories! If you have any questions about the forum let us know, we all love to help

I am doing one, but all of my info is regarding Cabo companies so I don't think I could help too much. For inspiration pics, check the Dazzling Details website (they're in PV), they do lounge stuff a lot.

Kate honestly, your pictures are incredible! Elizabeth did such a fantastic job, and you looked so stunning. I love your wedding so much Congrats!

Wow, your photographer did a great job! I can't wait to see more pics. Congrats on your wedding, you looked beautiful!

Congrats Jenny! I hope your day was fabulous! And great pics JM...I love the pic of the first kiss! Jenny you looked gorgeous and I love your hubby's hat!

I agree, I still have no clue what I'm doing with my hair! Whatever you do it will be beautiful though...you're so pretty already

I like #4! But your bangs are so cute in your siggy pic, I wish you could incorporate them into your style somehow - or are you anti-bang for the wedding?

The trainer said to us that we need to ask nixon to do something ONCE, and if he doesn't do it, we go over and force him to do it. He will never get a treat, but he will eventually learn that if he doesn't do what we ask the first time, he'll end up doing it anyway because we'll make him, so eventually he'll just start doing it. He said that's the only way to really get Nixon to respect us and to respect our things and know that he can't touch or destory them. We've done well with some aspects but not as well with others. It's so much work and requires a lot of time and honestly, it's our fault that he isn't as obedient as he should be. We do the best we can though. The trainer also had some other interesting methods of training that I wouldn't necessarily recommend. For example, he said one of his dogs (he has a ton of dogs and he does training for the CIA and stuff) used to eat high heels all the time. So one time he shoved a high heel in its mouth and put tape around its head and left it like that for hours. When he took it out, he said that dog has never touched another high heel! Interesting.

SunBride I'm with you - i have a puggle (part beagle part pug) and as I was reading your post I felt like you were describing my dog! The only differences are that we did crate train Nixon until he was about a year and a half old, and he doesn't destroy things when we're home (he just goes into the bathroom garbage and chews up tissues sometimes). Most of the time he's fine, but every once in awhile we come home and find out that he has destroyed something. It's really discouraging because we think we do everything we're supposed to do (including lots of exercise) and we finally think "wow Nixon has been really good lately" and then the next day we come home to find he chewed or destoryed something he hasn't touched in over a year since it's been there! We took Nixon to a dog trainer last summer and he told us that it was because Nixon has no respect for us or our stuff. He said that he isn't obedient enough, which I think is the truth. He said that Nixon should only be on the couch or bed when we invite him. Another thing was that we treat-trained him, which the trainer said was no good. He said "he's not obedient, he's just doing tricks for you to get the treat" which is totally true. Since then we've totally stopped giving him treats and we have been training him the way the trainer showed us, and that has helped...he's much more obedient now. What kind of obedience training do you do? My brother and his wife also have a puggle and he is SO obedient because my SIL did a lot of obedience training in the beginning that we didn't really do (we just did the standard sit/stay/come etc but always using treats). I think obedience and exercise are the answer. Or at least the best that we're gonna get. I was hoping Nixon would grow out of it but he's almost 3 years old!

Congratulations! That is too funny about the MD selling you jewelry...I would have died. I'm glad everything worked out though. You looked so pretty!

I've never tipped...but dang, now I think I should have! I feel bad. But I guess I figure they charge enough...I dunno?

No I completely agree with Jess. We have some people that decided to stay at another resort as well. I'm not paying for any day passes - that was their decision to stay somewhere else, not mine!

I don't think it's too soon. I'm sending out my invites in a few weeks and I'm asking for RSVP's by May 1 for my Oct 22 wedding. I think it just kinda forces people to make a decision about whether they're coming because I can't have people booking at the last minute (unless they RSVP yes by May 1 but wait to book).

I love it Casey!

Hahahahaha!!!! That is way too funny!
