Can I join in on this thread? I am freaking out too because of various reasons: -wedding was originally supposed to be in April but both (yes both) maid of honor and bridesmaid got preggo and were both due in March! So rescheduled for Oct, then bridesmaid who had a miscarriage, found out she was preggo again and due mid Sept! Didn't reschedule this time... -now my original maid of honor (1st cousin), decided to quit her job and stay home and says she really can't afford to go! She had over a year to save up $$$!!! -AHR has become mega stressful. For various reasons it had to be pushed to end of August. I have had people tell me that they want to see us have a ceremony there becuz since they aren't going, it is the real wedding to them WTF?! -the friends and family who aren't willing to shell out $$$ right now due to the economy.....why didn't we get married a few years ago?! -my grandma telling me she can't believe I am not getting married in the Catholic church and is disappointed that I have chosen to get married on the beach. This is the second marriage for both my FI and I, and we wanted something different. Since we weren't going to do the anullment process we weren't getting married in the Catholic church. But we both fell in love with the idea of a destination wedding. With all the stress we are under right now, I kind of just wish I would have eloped! (

Sandy, I'd love to see pics. I will PM you. I hadn't read Susan's post until tonight and it has kind of stressed me out. I am having the ceremony and reception at DVM and I so didn't want to read that she has a negative experience! I have been working with Yolanda, no outside WC, and so far although Yolanda is slow to respond, she has been good. I do have a question into her now about the menu for the reception though. Back in October before Yolanda was the WC, Rocio sent me the wedding menus for the silver and gold packages. Then last week she sent me a totally different menu that didn't even designate silver or gold? So I am confused and a little stressed about that at the moment. Jen

Thank you Susana for posting the pics. I figure that they don't really have a lot of pics of weddings, but I have seen pics from other Dreams resorts and would think they all pretty much do things similar. I am going to keep bugging Yolanda until I get some pics so I will post them if I get some more. )

Hi everyone! I did hear back from Yolanda and they finally charged the deposit so I feel better...it just made me nervous sending out invites when I didn't even know the deposit was made, kwim? And this is just the start of it!!! The deposit was the easy part compared to all the other details | Have any of you seen pics of the ceremony and reception areas yet? I asked for pics but haven't received any yet.

Hi! We finally settled on Dreams Villamagna for our wedding in October. Looking forward to getting to know all the other Dreams Villamagna brides! Is anyone just using the Dreams VM wedding coordiantor or are you using an outide WC? I have just been emailing Yolanda (Dreams WC) back and forth and it is getting me a little frustrated. She is very nice but she does take awhile to respond to emails and she doesn't fully respond to all of my questions. My biggest concern right now is the deposit for the wedding! I emailed her my cc info weeks ago and just yesterday she told me that she hasn't made the deposit because the numbers on the back of my card were not very visible. I gave her my cell number and told her to call me but I haven't heard from her yet. I was just wondering if anyone can relate? -Jen

Hi Susana, I am getting married there in Oct 09. I haven't seen many of us around this forum yet so it's great to "meet" you! -jen

Hi! Just a quick hello to introduce myself. My name is Jen and I will be getting married in Apr 09. I want a beach wedding, preferably Mexico. I have been looking into Dreams Cabo San Lucas, Dreams PV, and Las Palomas, Puerto Penasco. Look forward to chatting with you all!
