I found some helpful websites on this topic. Quote: NOTE: These are only general requirements. Resorts and hotels may be able to provide information about local requirements, which may vary.

I've read a few books and many magazines, and now I find I'm winging it and doing it my way. I just saw that on a few other brides signatures and thought it was neat.

I already had a band I was thinking of wearing, but when she put this on me when I was wearing the dress, I said, "SOLD!" LOL

We're getting married at a different resort. Does anyone know how to get a hold of him? The website says to contact his representative (which is not listed on his website)

The bridal shop called and said my veil has arrived. I'm going to pick it up on Saturday!! I will definitely post pictures for you ladies as soon as I can! Soooooo excited!!!

Red : my FI's car I miss him so much! I hope he comes home from work soon

My fiance and I went on the pirate ship/booze cruise 2 years ago and we didn't enjoy it at all. We felt it was like drunken aerobics. The girl next to me drank too much and barfed. Dinner was okay, but my fiance got really sick the next 24 hours and he missed a whole day of tropical sunshine stuck in the hotel room. I was fine and had no stomach issues whatsoever. I know with events like this it varies with each person's experience. Because of ours we will definitely not go back.

No problem!! I try to be of help to my fellow brides and brides-to-be!

I agree with stefnicole but I don't have a review or pics. A lot of our guests can't make it to our wedding due to the cost and we love BBQ's anyway. It would be more fun and laid-back IMO. Wedding stress sucks!! (By the way stefnicole, thanks for the idea of catering the BBQ!! Our in-laws have the perfect place, but I would never ask them to do all the cooking!)

Hello ladies, Has anyone used or heard anything about Alfonso Lepe at Photo Vallarta? I tried to search this forum (PV Vendors) but nothing came up. We have emailed him and he's provided his pricing and details of his services. I can send it via email or PM if anyone wants to see it. I would like to hear your thoughts/opinions. As always, thank you for your help!

Hello fellow brides and brides-to-be, I found this english website recently. Check out Banderas News and Health Care Resources Puerto Vallarta or Puerto Vallarta Health Care Resources for more information Hope this helps!!

Here's the garters I bought today: Detail of the 'keeper' garter

I bought this dress today!!! And a beautiful veil and garter belts!! Got free champagne glasses too!!

Quote: Originally Posted by Andi Hey Everyone, I hope i can settle you guys a bit. We are in PV right now for our honeymoon and have been here since last wednesday with all of our guests so I am hoping to provide a different perspective on this. yes, I know I am on my honeymoon on BDW but in my defense, DH is snoring next to me now and I drank a huge cup of coffee for some reason right before bed so I can't sleep at the moment. ANYWAY...all this news started breaking on our wedding day and we were (including all of our guests) pretty much oblivious to it all going on. It wasn't until Saturday that I caught wind of it when one of our guest's MIL left a FRANTIC phone message for them at the hotel in a total panic (her MIL was at home in the US). so bit by SLOW bit we have been getting informed of what is going on, the SLOW bit part is only because we honestly were not freaked out about it all. So that was it for hearing about it Saturday...Sunday morning (as about 1/2 of our guests were getting ready to depart...I heard someone mention that Obama had just issued his warning or what not. Again though...NOBODY, not our guests, not other hotel guests...NOBODY has been freaking about it...everyone down here has been carrying with their vacay's as normal (again from what I can tell). So sunday mid morning, DH and I turned on CNN and watched some coverage on it...I told DH that I was not going to worry about it because well we are here already and there isjust no need to freak. So we watched the news and listened to the symptoms (to keep an eye out for them) and the precautions that we should be taking and after about 5 minutes of that we went to the pool...ALL AS NORMAL! Honestly we only had just this one guest tell us (and all of our other guests about it) and really it was NO BIG DEAL. now mind you we are at an all inclusive nice hotel as are most of our guests, they really didn't leave (except for the wedding) to go into to town or anything, but my parents and aunts did go to downtown PV and I didn't hear any reports back of anything crazy relating to this going on. So like I said now 1/2 of our guests are gone, most will be leaving Mexico today and we will be here until Friday. None of our guests have had any freakouts about it...and if they did DH and I were prepared to calm them. Also for PV brides, I did just find this posted from yesterday No Cases of Swine Flu Reported in Jalisco - Update so this is good news too. DH and I did visit the beachtown of Bucerias yesterday and some shops were closed but I am 99% sure that was due to the fact that it was Sunday at 5 or 6pm...we did not see anything in that town where people seemed to be stressing there either...that including the locals. Ok, I am being long winded...but basically we are in Mexico right now with this massive outbreak and really just not freaked (including our guests...they are all more worried about cervezas and margaritas! ). we will be now more cautious and wash our hands a TON more...i have been carrying sanitizer in my beach bag anyway! We may not eat some meats and be cautious with that stuff too. We have been SUPER busy with wedding stuff since we arrived and today actually starts our real honeymoon...so we will carry on as honeymooners and should something happen we will cross that bridge when and IF it does. Again...I think others have said it on here too...it is spreading and already in the US and Canada so IMO you can get this virus really anywhere at this point! Thanks SOOOOOOOOOO much for this post!! I'm going to email it to my FI because he's getting worried (and I'm not, strangely enough!)
