Happy Holidays to you too!

I moved my wedding from Sept to Dec because I was worried about heat. I think, though, if you have your wedding at sundown you will avoid the hottest part of the day which will help.

It definitely took me a couple weeks to get used to wearing my engagement ring. It was annoying at first to have it on. After a while, though, I got used to it. Now, I don't even notice it.

Guilty! I watch it! Love it!

That was such a cool video! Thanks for sharing!

TIA We're having a legal ceremony. The legal requirements do seem like a lot of work, but I have found it not to be as hard as it seems like it would be. I am cutting and pasting an email I received from Nayeli about the EPM photographer and packages offered. We chose to go with Cecilia Dumas for our pictures rather than the in-house studio. We liked her work better but this studio looks pretty decent by the pictures on their website. Como estas? Thank you so much for your comments, I really love my job and I try to do my best in every wedding. I do not remember which photographer did I mention to you because we are working with another one and his packages are a little bit different, his webpage is Weddings By Corpho his packages are below and he has a lot of experience in weddings on the beach. In case that you want to hire an outside photographer, you only need to pay for her day pass $100 usd. Jennifer, have an excellent day!

It sounds like you already have your mind made up to change the location. Like I said in my previous post - "It is your wedding". If you want to change it, change it. Our opinions do not matter. It is only what you want to do. I would just suggest maybe testing the waters with some of your guests, before committing to the change, to see how the general reaction will be. Realize you most likely have some complaining (esp about the increase in cost) and if you are willing to deal with it all, then do it. Maybe you should offer to pay the increase in costs for your guests if you change - people are generally pretty tight financially this time of year with the holidays and with the economy in its current state, it is probably a little worse for people than usual.

There is a new wedding coordinator, Fanny, taking over for her.

Your invitations are gorgeous! Good work!

When you change anything, you tend to get a lot of "opinions" from people - some good, some bad. When Kenny and I got engaged, a year ago, we were throwing around dates for our wedding. Originally, back in Jan 08, we told people Sept 09. I started doing more research and changed the date to Dec 09 in March - mind you this is 1 year and 10 mos prior to the wedding - PEOPLE FREAKED! It was not pleasant. I changed the date anyway and told people they would just have to "deal with it" or not come (I didn't say it that harsh of course). Bottom line is if you really want to change your location, then do it. It is your choice. It is your wedding. However, keep in mind by changing the location you are going to create a significant inconvenience for ALL of your guests. Asking them to change their travel plans and pay more money is pretty inconsiderate seeing as the wedding is only 2 months away and i'm sure all attending have already booked. My suggestion - Show your current resort the wedidng set up at Excellence and ask them to copy it. Then, the day after your ceremony, go to Excellence for a few days to enjoy your first few days as a married couple privately.

Hey there! Thanks for starting this thread. I am getting married at EPM on 12.12.09. I recently email Nayeli Ugarte and got a ton of information and pictures. I want to attach them but I do not know how. Please help! Jennifer

Hi Brenda! Welcome to the forum. I am also getting married at Excellence Playa Mujeres!

Wow! You go girl! What an incredible couple of weeks you've had!

Wow. Poor Hef. Looks like he's going to be restocking the house with bunnies this spring! Hippity Hop!

Love that dress! You go girl!

Love them! Awesome job!

Both dresses are gorgeous! If I were you, I would have a hard time deciding! Looks like you are leaning towards the second one - beautiful!

I am SO SORRY I am so late in seeing this. I am also SO SORRY you guys are going through this. If there is anything we can do, let us know!!! Want to go out drinking Saturday night? Sounds like you guys could use a night out. Let me know. We'll come to you.

Centenario and 1921 are excellent.

I feel super guilty. I am actually thinking about either pushing my wedding back or canceling and doing the city hall thing depending on how bad it gets. I don't think we've seen even close to the worst of the economic crisis yet, unfortunately. This recession is the worst since the great depression and will probably last months to years. It's going to get worse before it gets better.
