Maybride2009

I just got FI a shirt that had a pic of a bride and groom and says "Game Over" from bridalpartytees.com

Ok, I got this all sorted out...it turns out they changed the rules and now if you have never been married you only have to have your passports! This is some AMAZING news to me...because yes I was supposed to have my spanish translated copies done and I did the english. Major freak out averted...mostly.

I am just about to pull out my hair!!! Does the english birth certificate need to be legalized by the mexican consulate or the translated copy? Everytime I ask someone they tell me it differently!

" We are REALLY close to being date twins!

Hi Ladies, I am getting married in Mexico towards the end of May and decided on the Circle of Love as opposed to a huppah. For those who don't know, the circle of love is a big circle of flowers and seashells that surround you and the bride/groom and minister stand in the middle. The issue I am having is that I dont know if my bridesmaides and grooms men are supposed to be inside the circle with us...or stand outside...I am afraid it will look funny! Opinions/suggestions please...I will try to attach a pic I think our circle will be bigger than this.

Hi Ladies, I have everything done except the translation....can anyone recommend someone to translate my birth certs for me? The lady I have been dealing with is in mexico and is becoming a real PITA

I am an Ontario bride...close to toronto!

I will pop in with a thank you too! I had no idea how to do this..it was so easy..thanks!

Beautiful! I am so excited for you!

Even people who got married in the gazebo, I noticed some people standing around watching. You will love the beach...feeling the sand in your feet was awesome! I know I am probably running on here but I want to help as much as possible! Thanks so much for this info. I am so glad to hear that it wasn't an interruption to your ceremony. I can't wait to get my toes in the sand!

My mom felt the same way so I purchased a second dress from Chrissy O for $40! Sale Wedding Gowns

(I'll have a laptop, and there is Wireless there...so why not)!? I can't believe it is just two weeks away! I found the dress for after the wedding - at night when we're all drinking and its just too hot to wear the wedding dress another second! I got it on sale for $80!!! And its pretty too!!! I am leaving on the 23rd. So very excited. I LOVE the beach and really wanted my wedding there even though everyone suggests the gazebo..so i am really excited to hear your feedback. I didn't realize that they have wifi...I will totally be bringing my lap top too!

Do a lot of you receive direction from your photographers or just do your thing? I think I am going to be aware of them the whole time!

Has anyone seen the pink & turquoise done together?? I have! My colours are Hot Pink & turquoise and I love them. It's just fun! My MOH is in Fuschia and my BM is in Turquoise. I have made the fuschia the lead colour and the turquoise the accent.

Shannon...only 12 days for you...17 for me...OH MY GOD!!!!! Shay! You will have to give me the scoop! I am having my wedding and reception on the beach and am totally winging it and hoping it will be what I expect. I hope people are respectful and give you and FI some space. So excited for you!

Amazing planning thread...I have never heard of the hand ceremony...it is beautiful...do you have any more info on this?

wow, I can't believe how fast my date is coming up! I am trying to get these taxes out of the way so I can focus on the wedding and fitting into my dress...yes, I ordered my dress smaller because the told me it could be let out...nope...they were wrong...now I have to fit the dress....best reason to get into shape fast!

Anyone know of which one is the best spot? Thanks! Adriana I would love to hear any beach wedding info too if anyone has it!

I am fuschia/hot pink and turqoise! My maid of honour is in fuschia!

Why on earth did I think that it was a good idea to get married after tax month? I run my own business and April is possibly going to take me out! Whoops. However, I love may so much, both FI and I have our birthdays in May right before the wedding. I just firmed up my timeline. In Playa del carmen we have to have a civil ceremony and it was really important to me to have a spiritual ceremony so my timeline looks like this 10am-civil ceremony-immediate family only 11:30-Hair...this can take up to 3 hours I have heard so I booked it early so I could take my time getting ready 4pm- Beach ceremony 4-5:30 photos 6pm-dinner I am getting very excited...however my dress is far too small and can't be let out..so I am off to the gym!

Hi Ladies, as our day approaches I am trying to get everything in line and was wondering what you all are doing for a rehersal dinner or if you are even having one? I was thinking of an outside restaurant, but am curious as to what everyone else has planned!

My bridesmaid "lost" her invitation to the wedding and when I went over I found it under a pile of crap in her family room...and she didn't ever return it. I still don't know if she is able to make it

My friend did this for A YEAR before they were married...I swear she married a saint. I mentioned it to my FI and he was NOT interested..which I figured would be the case. I think it is a great idea!
