I like #1 too because of the aqua. It would match the ocean

Congrats Mylene!!!! I'm glad it went well despite DH's incident. I'm glad he's ok. Can't wait to hear more

Dee your bouquets are really cute! I love the splashes of blue

Congrats Mrs! Beautiful pics, can't wait to see and hear more!

Absolutely gorgeous pics! You were a stunning bride. Thanks for sharing!

It was Tenley who was rumored to be preggo...but according to this article it was just a publicity stunt 'The Bachelor' Pregnancy Is Publicity Stunt

Thank goodness he gave Michelle the boot! That kiss had no emotion, you could tell he didn't really want to kiss her!

I bought a new laptop over the holidays. I realllly wanted a Macbook but it wasn't in my budget so I ended up buying a Dell Inspiron and upgrading the processor and size of the hard drive. So far it hasn't done me wrong!

What an amazing planning thread!!! I love the jewelry! You're going to have a fantastic wedding

I did passport invites...I just put the name of the resort and city.

Beautiful! The birdcage looks great with it too!

And seriously, she has to "check with the other brides that day and see if they will move their time" for me to have it later than 3:00 for April 2011. Boy oh boy. I will not get stressed though, that's forever away. I just hope she didn't put me for the wrong year. I'm pretty sure we were able to use the deposit towards "extra" things. Just make sure to ask for it when you are sitting with Sandra when she does her calculations or else they won't consider it. When we met with Sandra to go over wedding details she did all the calculations in pesos. You don't have to pay at that point, you just have to pay at some point before your wedding. Before we paid, DH and I went back to our room with our list of charges and we made sure to convert pesos to dollars to make sure we weren't getting overcharged for anything. You already have another bride on the same day for 2011? Wow...don't let it stress you, there was another wedding on my day and I didn't really notice!!

Im wondering if they play the music for the entire ceremony, meaning the prelude, prcessoional and recessional? Did you have the option or you just chose your own? cause i remember you said that they had played the wrong order of the songs. If anyone has any info much appreciated! I leave in 1 week! AHH The Mariachi band came out during the recessional. We did a champagne toast at the gazebo after the ceremony and then they band followed us and our guests to the Barracuda bar for our cocktail hour (there is a picture the band, DH and I, and our guests in a line marching from the gazebo to the bar...I don't know how we ended up in a single file line but it's pretty funny!). They played throughout our cocktail hour.

I didn't know that Roz had a kid...I heard it on the radio on my way to work this morning, lol. Apparently she is denying that she actually "slept" with the staff member. She's concerned about her son and how he perceives her. Umm hello Roz?! You shouldn't have put yourself in that situation in the first place

Thanks for starting a thread on this! I'm addicted to this show. My favorite so far is Ali. She's just so darn wholesome and cute, nothing fake about her (at least from what we've seen thus far!). Did Ali and Jake's one-on-one date remind anyone of Jake and Jillian's first one-on-one?

I'll be watching! I heart AI!

Melissa you looked gorgeous! Thanks for sharing. I love your shoes!

I'm not sure exactly why they aren't able to reserve El Patio, but my guess is that it's because by then they'd have a good idea as to whether or not there will be alot of guests at the resort. If there are alot of guests at the resort, then they probably won't be willing down to close the restaurant for a reception, because they'll need to make sure they have enough restaurants open to accomodate all the guests. As far as food we had the tortilla soup, mixed green salad, shrimp in puff pastry, surf and turf, and tiramisu. Our guests loved everything. My favorite was probably the shrimp in puff pastry. I didn't care much for the tiramisu. I only asked them to bring out one per table since the wedding cake was our real dessert.

Hats off to them for finishing! I guess my aunt and uncle weren't just used to the heat

Congrats girlie!! I'm sure it was the best day ever! Can't wait to hear about it!
