Hi there! I got married at the Iberostar Paraiso Beach in February! Please read my review (link in signature) if you're looking for more information or feel free to pm me. It is a great family resort!

Interesting thoughts everyone! Amanda, I feel like you do...I don't totally hate some of the routines that the judges do nor do I love the same ones they do most of the time. I guess I'm weird like that too? haha. I have to agree with you girls that I felt wayyyy more connected to last year's dancers than this years' but I don't know if that's because we're not far enough in yet or what. I am looking forward to tonight's performance show though!

Yay Bess, thanks for sharing these!!! You both look so happy, congratulations!!!

Everything looks fantastic!! I especially love the chest idea for the rings...too cute! Your dress is gorgeous by the way!

Yael you looked stunning! I love your pics, they are amazing! I also loved your ceremony site, it looked perfect!

Welcome back Kef1274 and congrats!!! Oooh can't wait to see your pics from Sascha, he's a hell of a nice guy!! Christy - From my understanding you don't need the birth certificates translated...I can't confirm what you need for divorce decrees though, sorry!

sign me up for one of those too! I hate the fat under my chin!

LDeeken - you can never be too sure, IMO. Confirm, confirm, confirm! Confirm till you are blue in the face lol.

lol is it bad that my DH actually DOES talk nerdy to me? haha, I won't go in to specifics but yeah...cute pics though!!!

That's freaky Amy!! And you know what's freakier? I totally was thinking red pumps when I wrote that! haha

I was concerned about that too so I email her the following. Her answer is below: 2. Just to confirm, if we book a room at the Lindo or the Maya we will still be allowed to get married at the del/mar. We stayed at the Maya in the past and would just like to know if that is an option for us if we choose. Yes, you can stay there an get married here. Thank you for asking. Hope this helps! Unless this is something they changed very recently, I would be inclined to double check that with the manager of the Del Mar/Beach side. She may have misunderstood the question. I sent Gabriela an email prior to my wedding about something and since she and Reyna shared the computer/email address, Reyna tried to answer my question and she gave me information for something that had nothing whatsoever to do with my wedding. What I did when I wanted to confirm things with them was I asked my TA to have her Spanish-speaking co-worker call Gabriela and confirm, in SPANISH, the request, so that Gabriela was fully aware of what it was that I was looking for. Anyhoo, I hope this helps!

I love that Savannah! It's so cute!! I would pair it with some bright heels just for something a little bit different.

Those are beautiful Elizabeth! You always do such an amazing job and I can't wait to see the rest of them!

Gorgeous pics!! You looked absolutely stunning!!!

No problem Yael! I like Andrea's idea too!

Can't say I blame ya Yael! Maybe it would be easier for you to write your review if you did it in pieces? Like one night, sit down and type out say...the accommodation part of your review and then another night do the wedding part, etc. That would proabably be less daunting and you can just focus on one part at a time rather than trying to collect your thoughts from then entire day. Just a thought!

Thank you so much ladies! It is so funny how you can feel connected and be friends with people who you have never even met or talked to, and yet there are so many of you who I consider friends. Bess, that is so touching!!! You are a wonderful lady and it is always a real treat to chitchat with you in the Iberostar thread. Thank YOU for being awesome and so sweet! I hope you have a great legal day tomorrow and an awesome wedding in mexico on July 5! I am so very looking forward to hearing all about it!!

Those look awesome Erika!!

Can't wait to see pics of your shower AND legal day!! You must be so freakin excited right now, I can only imagine! Hehe you mean my avatar of me making silly faces?
