HI Everyone, We just finished our wedding here last Saturday , May 2nd. Yep, swine flu and all we came. It wasn't really a deciding factor for us because by the time CNN, FOX and MSNBC got word of the swine flu some of our guests had already made their way down here. We definitely were not going to leave them hanging! We had a couple of physicians in our group including two that are specialists in Infectious Diseases and there was NO problem down here at all. There a couple of people wearing masks on the plane but on the resort no one was wearing masks. Many of the workers didn't even seem to be phased. I think the news really made things a whole lot bigger than even in Mexico itself. The wedding was amazing.... so worth it..... beyond what we could have ever planned or done in the States. All of our friends (~50) had an amazing time and as soon as they hit the resort they forgot about the swine flu. None of them wanted to leave and they all said this was the best wedding!!! Well, I will write my official review later. We have a couple more days down here. The weather is perfect!!!! PS. ALL of our friends have returned to the States and not a single one had any problem. They are all healthy and no swine flu symptoms yet!!! Also by the time they returned, there were more confirmed cases of swine flu in their own cities than here in Quintana Roo, the state where Cancun, Riviera Maya are.

Hi Ohiobride... That does look great! Just curious, did the resort set up all of the lights for you? Also, I'm wondering if there is a mosquito problem there?

We are currently ironing out the details for a destination wedding in Cancun this April! I know... we are way behind! But looking forward to getting some tips from everyone!
