I bought this when it was first released, and never wore it. Sadly the girls have gotten bigger, so I ended up buying the new one online. It's been washed once, and it in perfect condition. Size Large. Looking for $60 (US) shipped OBO bc that is what I paid. Canada add $5 for shipping.

So happy to hear your day was great! I'm so excited for our wedding now! Did you have to pay extra for the cake you wanted? Also were having only ten people including us, did you have music and a full reception or dinner? Were thinking just dinner.

Our wedding day was perfect! Ramon was wonderful! Everything was exactly as we requested it. Here is the overview of the wedding day. Sorry that it is so long! Hopefully you will find it useful! Since we have booked the wedding in November, I had been communicating with the Excellence Wedding Coordinator, Ramon. He was always prompt with his e-mails (usually 3-4 days to respond) and always answered the questions consistently. I have read a lot about brides hearing different things each time they talk to their wedding coordinator however, this was never the case with Ramon. Before we left for Mexico, I printed off all of our e-mail communication because I was so concerned that details might be lost or forgotten, however when my fiancé and I met with Ramon (the day after we arrived) he had all the details written down. He even had my notes about the cake that I wanted (I was very specific). He showed us where everything would be held, and did a quick “rehearsalâ€, just so we would know what to expect. We had a small wedding party. I had a maid of honor, and we had 11 guests attending. We just wanted a small wedding and decided to have a larger “At Home Reception†back in Canada. I chose to bring my chair ties with us because we could purchase them for about $1.90/chair tie online, and we would have to rent them for $5/chair tie there. They did not charge us anything to put the ties on the chairs at the wedding or at the reception. We also brought fans to the wedding, that I purchased online, they had our names and wedding date scripted on them. We thought they would be nice to cool down our guests, however the breeze off the ocean was cooling enough. I gave them to Ramon and he ensured that they were displayed beautifully on the chairs at the wedding ceremony for all the guests. I spent the morning of the wedding at the spa. Karen was the lady who did everything for me that day. She did my manicure, pedicure, hair and makeup. She was an absolute perfectionist. She did the most beautiful job on my hair and makeup. I was a little worried because I had a hair dresser back home do a trial run of my hair and the result was awful, but Karen did the most amazing, perfect job. We brought a friend to do our photography before, during and after the wedding, however, the wedding package we chose (The Excellence of Love package) included the resort wedding photographer and 24 pictures.. The resort photographer did a lovely job and had the 24 pictures that were part of our package printed off for us, as well as including a disk with all the photos on them 2 days after the wedding. He also showed us the other pictures that he took at the time. In total, he had an additional 160 pictures (digital copies) to sell to us for $130. He did a nice job, however we decided against the additional photographs, because we had our own photographer. The wedding itself was perfect. The bouquet that I requested (fuscia gerbera daisies) was beautiful. The weather was sunny and gorgeous. The beach was the perfect location for a bare foot wedding. The Minster who was there for our vows read them out to us perfectly (we made a couple small changes to them before we went). The moment was lovely and my husband and I will never forget that day. The reception after the wedding was lovely. We were able to choose from the selection of meals for our dinner. The food was okay, but the dessert was to die for! I requested a small 2 tiered cake with vanilla on top and chocolate on the bottom tier, with fondant icing on top. Ramon ensured that it was made exactly the way we asked! The cake was so, so yummy that we asked to have the leftovers sent to our room! ☺ The wedding was perfect. I could not have asked for a better wedding. Ramon made our day flawless. Everything went seamlessly. My husband and I would not have changed nothing. I would recommend this resort to any bride who was thinking of a Destination Wedding. Relax and know that ‘your day’ is completely under control and you don’t have to worry about anything! I hope you wedding day goes well!

I know we are allowed a carry on and personal item each. My question is I plan on carrying on my suitcase and my tote, my fiancé had a suitcase as well and I wanted him to carry my dress as a personal item? Does anyone know if this would be okay? I really need the extra carry on space and don't want to pay extra to check another bag. Any ideas?

I've been emailing him back and forth. We'll finalize everything when we arrive, but I'm glad to see we were able to agree on previous discussions I had with the other WC's in the past. We were going to go with the Gold package, but decided $900 wasn't worth it to us to just have a trio which preforms at the resort all the time, and 2 centerpieces. I have plenty of decorations I am taking so no biggie for me. We'll just use that money to enjoy Mexico! Quote: Originally Posted by ranaya12 endlesslove: Glad to hear everything has worked out with Ramon. We too are having a small group of people, 11 including us, and are not having a dj. At the moment our choice is to still get the Gold Package since the Trio is included as are flowers, bouquets, etc.. We will be having the Trio for the cocktail hour and and Ipod during the reception. When did you talk to Ramon? My wedding is on May 7th and we havent hatched out all of the details just yet. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I'm happy to say we were able to work everything out with Ramon. We did decided to go with the Excellence of Love package over the gold mainly due to the amount of people we were having. We only have 8 guests, so we didn't see a need for so many extras. Is anyone else having a smaller wedding, and not having and music or dancing? I feel it would be a little weird with such a small group?

We have an outside photographer and assistant, and he told me it was $100 US for each day pass, even though we were told $70 for the last two years. Nothing matches up. I just got an email back from him, and he still has not answered me regarding the day passes (two free he agreed to in the beginning). He just ignored it and send me flower options. I don't get it. How can you ignore an email three times, and only answer half of it. I'm getting very frustrated! Quote: Originally Posted by ranaya12 Thanks to everyone for replying.

Is the guest pass different than a vendor pass? Lord if this is the case I will have to go back to Ramon and have him confirm the price since we will be having an outside photographer and his assistant. I am starting to freak out! I really hope things run a lot smoother once we get down there.

I really wanted to give Ramone the benefit of the doubt, but he is going back on so many things that I confirmed with Veronica. I wanted to confirm about the day passes being waived if we don't have their photographer. Both Nayeli and Veronica said we can get a standard day passes (bc my BM was going to use the spa) and two vendor passes. He said No- he can only do two. Then he tells me he can only give us a $100 credit, and a vendor daypass is $100, not the $70 I have been told for TWO years! I send him the same email THREE times, and he has yet to respond, and it's been a week. But, he responded twice to a previous email, two days apart. Something isn't right, and I'm getting worried that he's going to go back on a lot more once we get down there. He keeps telling me the backage cannot be exchanged for anything. No changes.

We decided to go with the Gold Package but will be brining our own photographer. I was reading on another post, or maybe it was here, where someone who was dealing with Ramon wouldn't allow them to substitute the photographer with guest passes. Then someone else who delt with Nayeli mentioned that she offered them two guest passes since the package photographer was not being used. I also want to make a few other changes to the package and I am a bit worried that Ramon will not allow it and make me stick to the choices of the package only!!! I'm starting to freak out.

I've tried the starfish passing thread and had no luck. I'm really looking for a blue starfish...or any color right now, for my something borrowed, or even to buy! If anyone has one they would like to sell, please let me know. I am also looking to buy a red hair flower (not too big or too small) to wear with my TTD. This is my dress Thanks!

I purchased the same hanger, just so you're aware it's not very strong at all. Mine kind of bends. It's cut for pictures, but I wouldn't recommend keeping your dress on it for a very long time, it may begin to warp.

Everyones items wer sent today. What was sold was -bubbles -packing list -maraca tags -hair flowers - 2 Starfish, 6 conch and2 scallop shells. - Pink VS Bride tank top. Everything else is still for sale.

I had no fears about having my wedding at ERC, but with constant changing of WC's, I'm getting annoyed. Whenever I try to confirm something the previous WC said, I'm always told no- that's not right. I was originally confirmed by Veronica a day pass was not needed to use the beach for my TTD shoot. Now Ramone is telling me it is. Naylei offered four day passes in exchange for not using the photographer and less guests at our wedding than the package is for, Ramone is telling me no. I'm just getting aggravated that information keeps changing. Don't they keep emails on file or have a file for each wedding?

I'm still hoping someone can pass their starfish onto me. I would need it from May 5th-May 16th.

So far what is sold is -1 Conch Shell -Hair Flower -Bubbles Pending is -packing list -all shell tea light holders -pink tank top -pink beach bags -Maraca tags

I bought this dress with red detailing for my TTD, it's gorgeous!

We're having a very hard time coming up with the remaining money for our wedding, so I need to sell anything extra that I no longer need. I purchased these porcelain shells from Yankee Candle.

I spent what seemed like forever designing my invitations. In the end, they cost me more than what they should have but I am so happy with them. Everything except the raffia ribbon is from Cards and Pockets, the pocketfold, envelopes, and printing. I recommend them 100% Colors used were Tiffany, Sand, and Linen paper.

I picked up some pink and green striped ones the other day. I'll be going back for a few more on Saturday now that I decided to give one to each guest.

My dress is finally in. It took 6 months, but it was well worth it. It fits like a glove aside for being a little long. I'm going to have to go with higher shoes, but I love it. I forgot my camera so an iPhone picture is all I have for now.

This is my necklace and earrings. I hope the picture works, I can't get a good photo of them, so I stole them off of the Swarovski site.

I'd love to "borrow" a starfish for my bouquet. Clear or blue is fine by me I hope someone has an extra. I would need it from May 5th-May 16th.

When I went to my PO the man didn't even know what to tell me. I asked him how much it would be for someone in Canada to mail back and if I can put our postage on, would it be sent- and he todl me no. I ended up sending them without a stamp.
