Thank you! here's what I am thinking to even out the processional... have the MOH (my sister) walk alone during the processional (don't they walk by themselves anyways and just have the Best Man join the GMs in walking in with the bridesmaids... for pictures... I'll just wing that which should be easy right? any ideas?

great work betsy!! I;m soo thankful you posted the pictrues because my FI and I are getting married at teh Chapel Gazebo as well... Catholic ceremony. I see that you guys are used the same booklet we will be using =) How long did you ceremony last for? I would love to get ceremony perspective from another bride who did a Catholic ceremony with the resort priest. Thank you soo much in advance!

nice! I'm looking for a thread with people posting their playlist and i can't find it anymore! i wanted to browse through it since FI and i are creating ours as we speak... any one know what happened to that thread??

thanks ladies!!! i gotta admit that the dress is a bit extravagant for a TTD, but i'm going for the whole dramatic princess in an enchanted forrest look... if that makes sense! ahaha.. why not... you only get married once! if the dress doesnt end up being trashed all the way, i am planning on leaving the dress in Mexico and donating it. that way someone else could be a princess on their wedding day without spending all the $. =)

We are planning on paying the extra if it's just a couple nights =) I am waiting for the final count! if not, i will definitely give an update to all of you on how the free fuctions work if room quotas are not met. I also saw other posts regarding wedding favor prices... I HAVE THEM! It was sent to me by my WC Nancy. I will post them here when i get back from my meeting. i'm on lunch at work and i'll sneak a post in a little bit =) planning a wedding is already a full-time job... on top of anotehr full-time job! i'm pooped!!!

Thank you for tell me about the extra cost on the comp/function my sweetie says it's cool, Because we have 35 people coming so far so were gonna have do five "Cause we have 5 more guest with flights" tables w/ 8 people at each table. So that's only $300 for 1 extra hour for 40 guest. My wedding is at 6pm so we will only need 1hr because the resort ends out door functions at 10 10:30ish,so that's all will need. After I read your mail I spoke with Nancy so she gave me the cost for the dancers over the phone. We also disgusted a few more details but I told her How much I trust her and some things can wait until I arrive. I'm going to land in cancun on Apirl 23 at noon. The resort had put the free shuttle vouchers in our contract so the shuttle will meet us and my guest when ever they arrive at the airport. I was talking about the slide show i was doing a few threads ago but because my reception is outside they don't set the slidshow up outside. Then I was going to do it at the rehersal dinner Nacny and I talked on the phone about it But i would have to have my dinner in one of the reception halls in order to show the slideshow. If I get 75 room nites then I'll do that because it's free, But for now our slideshow is going to be on the table as favors for each guest. We made sure to include everyone in the Family & Friends section so they will enjoy it. I booked our rehersal dinner in the brizilian resturant it has an out door terrace area the Nancy says is just beautiful and private so we don't have to sit with the other vactioners while we dine.Cool. Well good luck honey your going to look beautiful. I would like to post some pick so you can see me also,what's the secret on that? Oh and let me know when the big day is. Best Wishes God Bless Katt. Hi Katt! You and I will be in MP at the same time for both of our weddings! Mine will be on April 24th at the Chapel Gazebo. Feel free to stop by if you want a look. I will be in Cancun until the 28th =) Nancy is great isnt she? I'm glad to hear all is well with your planning. 1 month to go! gosh... nervous and excited! =) i'll post more info for MP brides as they are needed.

Just curious - as I don't love the MP photographers - but it has been hard to find Cancun photographers... Any ideas? Hi jlwedding! Sorry my response is so late, I just finally logged on to BDW. Our photographer who took our engagement photos is Cooper Carras and he is based in San Francisco Bay Area, CA. Unfortunately he is not going to Cancun with us. MP is flexible with outside photographers as long as they are part of the wedding party. Cooper Carras does a lot of destination wedding. if you are interested, here's his website: Destination wedding photographer - Cooper Carras. highly recommended and so easy to work with! he takes fab pictures! =) good luck!

don't feel so bad about your gorgeous dress!!!!! i'm sure it was absoloutely worth it on your big day. it was a major investment but atleast you have a fabulous memory that will last a lifetime. Your pictures and videos will always be your keepsake of everything wedding related. You may not have your dress but you will always have the memory of you feeling and looking beautiful in it! =)

that looks grand! great find!!!

very nice!!! I love the luggage tags!!! I have been searching so many sites to get cheap ones. Now I know i could just order them as business cards! Yay!!! Where do I find cheap plastic clear sleeves

FI and I just ordered the wedding favors and OOT Bags are next on our list! I will be back consulting this thread real soon! Thanks again!!! =)

Hi Katt, Here's the information on the live performances: Price $1,215.00 USD P/ 45 minutes show •Mexican Folkloric Ballet with live Mariachi (8pax) (No sound system or lighting) Price $3,120.00 USD P/45 minutes show •Folkloric Mayan Ballet (Includes live drums and flaute – prehispanic style music) / (Lighting is not included) 12 pplPrice $1,850.00 USD P/45 minutes show I worked with Nancy to get the performance time down to 30 minutes for timing purposes. We have the free reception too. I am still trying to get the 75 room nights though. I am not that far away, but i dont think I will make it =( it sucks cause if 2 of my family members didnt book with Orbitz and Expedia, we would make it for sure. For the free private function, you actually only get 2 hours of the reception. anything beyond that is $60 per table, per hour. I confirmed this with my WC in Miami. Make sure you include the extra horus in your budget so you won't get any surprises. We're getting the DJ too! Package 1 with the video slideshow. Nancy and I were doing a lot of e-mail exchanges last week and she told me that she would be extremelt busy this week. I am not expecting an e-mail from her since she's probablt working on other brides right now. Your day is almost here as well! Hang in there and best of luck =)
