IF THEY GIVE YOU ROOM # 6156 TELL THEM HELL NO!! The A/C does not work in bedroom!Girl, don't let them lie to you..it is broken! It was so freakin hot the day oF the wedding. My DH got a room the night before, when I went in his room I realized how freaking hot it was in my room. I told him I would sneaking in the middle of the night!!! Oh really? I didn't think it had the Jacuzzi's in there!! That's awesome to know! :-) Thanks!...I will be sure to refuse that Room # if we get it..LOL We are also the kind of people who are always hot...we sleep wth the windows open in the bedroom in the winter...So no AC will def be a problem :-) Thanks for the Heads up! I leave tomorrow! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA I appreciate you answering all of our questions

This way you can prit it out and keep it for your records

I haven't been married there yet, however, I e-mailed Claudia and asked if we can extend the reception 1 hour...I specifically told her that they can clean up the tables and we can get ut own drinks at the bar, we just wanted to use the space and dance and she told me that it didn't matter, it would be an extra $10 per person for that extra hour.

I keep reading your review because I leave in 2 days & I am SOOO excited! I am glad you didn't have a problem at Customs. I know LIsa said they didn't either...But I am just nervous. However..I don't feel like making receipts :-( We are also getting the One Bedroom Master Suite...How was it? One of the main reasons for me getting that was the size....Was it really spacious? I am secretly hoping to be upgraded to a Jacuzzi suite or something, but if the worst thing that happens is I get to keep my 1 bedroom master suite, that's more then fine..LOL

OMG..I love Famous Daves, So I am DEF in...FI will be jealous ...Hahahaha Lisa, you seriously put my mind at ease about TONS os stuff, You def didn't talk my ear off. I still couldn't believe how long we were there though. I was like wow, it's after 7! LOL It was funn though! Can't wait for July 11th Ladies! :-)

How was customs for you? Did they give you a hard time? I am in the process of making my "receipts now" we have 6 bags...Plus a laptop bag ad my Oversized handbag...Ugh :-(

Well I must warn you all...When Lisa & I met a couple weeks ago, we were there for THREE hours! LOL and that was just two of us....So I can't imagine how many hours we will be chatting it up in Champs (Or whereever we go) LOL :-) It doesn't matter what time or where, I'll be there that day because I have a starfish to pass on :-)

Great review & Pics Jen!! Congrats again. It sounds like you had a fabulous time I am ecited that you used Juan Navarro as I am using him too. I think if you don't upgrade you get him for 90 mins right?? I guess I will find out soon, as We leave on Saturday!! :-) The situation with the Video guy sounds shady. Hmm...We will be there a full 4 days after the wedding so hopefully there will not have to be shipping involved. Anyway...I am so happy for you and everything sounded great! :-)

Champs might be a good place.....although with the Phillies game, that also may be a little crowded. We can alway plan something for like 3pm if the game is at 7, at least that may help us get a table before the madness starts. :-)

Think about it...why can't weird foot guy "Tanner" tell Jillian who has a boyfriend? The producers control the show...that's why we want to watch it Anyhow I love Ed and I really wanted Jillian to be with him. I wonder if it's Kiptyn that can't perform. LOL either way it will be a very entertaining episode. Hey if Ed doesn't come back maybe he'll be the next Bachelor!!! OMG..You could be right!! Maybe the producers liked him so much and realized that alot of the fans of the show also liked him, so as always they stepped in and said, "If you think your going to be picked by Jillian, then stay...If not, we have a great opportunity for you to be the next bachelor" Honestly, I can totally see that happening, especially after the crap they pulled last year with Melissa & Jason. If that's the case, I am happy he left. I would love for him to be the next Bachelor Jillian is really a bad judge of character. By now she should be able to see Wes's true colors. And keeping Tanner is just crazy. I have to say, I do like her, but she is annoying me a little bit now. I don't know why. :-(

I am really sad that Ed is gone and yes , he totally does resemble Denny!! Maybe that's why I liked him, because I LOOOVVEED Denny..LOL I just have this feeling that he will be coming back..I don't know. Can I just tell you that I am pissed at how the show made us all think that the person with the girlfriend would be "revealed" and they made you believe that was why she was crying at the end? They get on my nerves when they do that!!! I don't know who my Favorite for her is I am starting to like Reid...and I like Kiptyn....Mark is cute & Funny, but I just can't see her with them.....Hmmmm Well I guess we'll see soon enough!

Aghh...I will be sending you a request after work as I can't get on facebook from here! :-) But I am excited to see them!!

Oohh Quick question for all of the Dreams Brides...Do they have hair dryers in the rooms I have had a couple people ask me, so I checked the Website & it doesn't really say.

It's nice to know I am not alone!! LOL I think I am more stressed at the thought of when we get to Cancun. How the HELL are we suppose to get all 6 of our bags, plus my Wedding dress, Laptop bag and my "purse" AKA another carry on bag..From the airport to our car waiting for us outside the airport. I guess we'll have to get one of those carts, but I've never been to the Cancun airport, so this is going to be really interesting. My Biggest fear is forgetting something important. So as long as we have all of the important stuff..I will be happy

I am so happy to hear that you had such an awesome time :-) I can't wait for your pics & your review Quote: Originally Posted by mummergirl jen, the exchange rate was about 12.5 when i was there (it changed slightly, daily). honestly, i'm going to sound like some stupid 1950s wife here, but tom took care of the bill so i have no idea. i do remember that the bill was in pesos, so it looked ENORMOUS, lol ... tom did a double-take! we never really had a firm total on contract going in, because our final number of guests had changed quite a bit (additional costs for cocktail hour & dinner), and we also added bouquets, bouts, and upgraded cake ... so there was no surprise when our total was a little higher. simbasim, CONGRATS MRS! welcome back ... can't wait to see pics! Thanks Lisa. I guess I will have to wait until we get there. I am just stressing over the stupidest things now..LOL My countdown is so on!!! I can't wait to leave on Saturday Sadly I will have to do my planning thread when I get back. We were in Panic mode while packing yesterday I didn't have a chance to take the rest of the pictures. I promise when I get back to post my planning thread and review...W/ of course tons of PICS!!!!

So we leave for Dreams Next Saturday June 20th. We have a $hitload of stuff that we are taking with us. All the OOT bag items, Bridal party gifts, Rafia Fans, Maracca place settings....& etc.... We decided to start packing tonight, because we wanted to weigh the bags to be sure they weren't over 50 pounds and we wanted to make sure we weren't stressing last minute about where all our stuff is going to go.... WELL 6 bags later...(4 checked in bags and 2 carry ons) we still need one more piece of luggage!!! The problem is, if we check in another bag it;s going to be an xtra $100...Umm..Yea right...So my Best friend is lending us a smaller suitcase that she has extra & we have asked my mom & stepdad to take this bag, since they are the only people arriving the same day as us. Out of the 6 bags we have, only ONE bag has BOTH of our clothes in it. We literally had to Roll every single item that we were taking so it would fit. We are staying week, so that's alot of clothes! Thankfully, I am taking lots of dresses, so it worked out, but I feel like I had to nix some things that I may want while I am down there..And I feel like I am forgetting everything We weren't able to pack any of Joe's shorts, our underwear, none of our shoes and I am about to go make all of my BM's Shirts (Iron on letters) and my Ring boy & Flower girl shirt too, so they will need to be packed. Not to mention a couple miscellaneous things. After all that is said & done and we figure out that we'll get the extra bag from my BF and my mom will take it, I start to relax and I'm just happy that we settled it....I look over to my End table and I see the Velvet box that holds our engraved Toasting Flutes my sister got us for my Bridal shower. WTF...They HAVE to be a carry on item as I don't trust checking that in. I guess now since I am allowed to take one carry on bag(Which is JAM packed) and a purse, I will have to go & buy a nice size purse so that will fit. I really went over board with the amount of things I bought. Although, I don't regret any of it. I wanted it all and if it gets there in one piece with no trouble, then I will forget this day..LOL But I really didn't think it would be this stressfull to pack and I know I had a lot of stuff, but I honestly thought I would start to pack and be pleasantly surprised & we would maybe even have extra luggage left. HA! Out of 9 pieces of luggage(two sets)..we have a small tolietry bag & a slight bigger bag left. I can't wait to be in Mexico!!! Agghhhhhhh Thanks for listening to me Vent

Hey Lisa, Surprisingly, after our 3 hour Dinner last week, I have managed to find a another question that I have for you!! :-) Was the exchange rate bad when you paid for the wedding? Was the total alot different then the final total amount she told you? It wasn't the same was it? I was planning on taking cash with us to Cancun or just using Joe's card for other things,and just leaving the amount of the wedding on my Card, but I don't want to be short, if the exchange rate makes the total higher, ya know? Am I even making sense? I can't believe I will be in Mexico by this time next Saturday!!! I m so excited!!

LOL Lisa I am hoping I am like you that day..I went to pick up my dress yesterday and MY sister was like, How are you going to Pee It's is SOOO big & Fluffy..LOL I love it though.

I also bought a dress at Walmart last night for $15 bucks!! Woo-hoo! As for spanks..I hate them...They didn't suck me in enough and they gave me bad back rolls...LOL

Jake the pilot, he's not Jillians type and I think he has a hard time dealing with rejection (or the thought of being imperfect). I will admit he is cute though. On the fence about Kipton, he seems perfect for Jillian but he has commitment issues so a bit of the red flag there. Seriously though Ed is a Major catch...I told my FI that Ed's my backup so he better treat me right (He hates ED..LOL) I agree 100%...Ed is so hot, but not in a "Pretty Boy" way. I really think she needs to spend more time with him. Jake & Kipton were my top 2, but they both are a little Eh to me now. Jake is too nice and Kipton is ok I guess..But I can't see her with him. I also like the funny Break dancer...Not really as a match for her, but he seems sweet and really funny If you watched the previews for Next week..Tanner says that Wes is the one that has a girl friend (He says this to the cameras, not Jillian) So I am thinkin Wes is gone next week. He is creepy. I can't believe she can't see through him!
