Flip flops, David's bridal dress, and turquoise earrings have been sold. All other items are available and the prices are negotiable. We're moving in 1 week and I really don't want to bring any of this with me. Make me an offer!

The shoes are Benjamin Adams' Carmen, I got them in white dyeable satin and had them dyed locally. There were absolutely no shoes available in that color green that I could find, and I really wanted wedges - I thought those were the cutest ones out there (they really don't make a lot of bridal wedges). Good luck!

Adrienne - That's actually the menu at Chilis every night, and is what they served for our semi-private dinner. I just had the menus printed up because theirs seemed really big to me, and I thought these would match all our other stuff better.

Hi girls, I'm going though all our wedding stuff to sell on this site and I came across a few things someone might be able to use. I have 25 of these Chili's menus, and about 200 of the travel mug cards ( I attached these to the handle of our mugs with ribbon). They're free for anyone who wants them, just send me shipping cost through paypal. If you want to see any my other stuff, it's here http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...t-overs-58522/

I got this bag to be my 'something blue', but my husband ended up surprising me with a gorgeous prada bag, so I couldn't use this one. I purchased it from Etsy seller Angeew. Asking $50 54 fresh linen scented tealights in clear cups. Asking $15 Wedding music CD - never opened, asking $3 Flip flops from old navy, I'd rather sell these all together or in a few larger groups. Asking $1 each, all still have tags from the store on them. Women's - White: 2-7's, 2-8's, 1-9 Blue: 2-8's Tan: 1-6, 3-7's, 1-8 Green: 1-6, 3-7's, 1-8 Men's - White: 1-6/7, 2-8/9's, 7-10/11's Blue: 1-6/7, 1-8/9 The Knot Guide to Destination Weddings, never used. asking $10 Picture frames used at our AHR, 5 5x7's, 6 2x2(?) squares, 3 2x3(?). asking $1 each

Hi everyone, it's time to sell some of the wedding stuff we never ended up using! PM me if you're interested in anything. I can only take paypal and the prices are without shipping... I bought this dress to wear to our AHR, but it needed a few alterations and I didn't have enough time to get them done. I actually think this would be a perfect TTD because of the material. It says it's 100% silk, but it looks like a nylon material to me. The size is small, measurements are 37 27 38, brand new with tags. The designer is Nicole Bakti, style number 5946. I paid $300, asking $150. This dress was originally supposed to be my TTD, but I decided to trash my wedding dress. It's from David's Bridal, style #BR1036, size 6, brand new with tags, asking $45 David's Bridal - Satin Sheath with Pleated Empire and V-Halter I originally got these earrings as gifts for my 2 moh's, but they didn't really match their dresses. They're Amrita Singh Nello earrings, I paid $50 each, asking $25. The color is distorted, they're more turquoise and emerald. I also removed any labels and threw away the card thing they came on, but I do still have the gift boxes. I have 10 of each of these satin chair sashes, The colors shown are inaccurate - the blue is an aqua blue and the green is an emerald color. You can see them in our wedding slideshow to see the color more clearly - http://wedrockers.com/kellyanddavid/ . Asking $10 for each 10-pack More coming...

I loved our photographers! Give these a few minutes to load, there are a lot of pics! http://wedrockers.com/kellyanddavid/

Oh, and those starlettos are freaking awesome! I would have totally gone with those if I knew about them, there's a really limited selection of dyeable white wedges.

I don't remember what the name of it was, but it was really small and narrow. We got a case of Romeo y Julieta Robustos for $9 per cigar. I have no idea if this was a good deal or not. All I know is that the guy started the price out at $14 per, and that's what we negotiated him down to. I can tell you though, that all our guests loved the idea, especially being from America, cuban's are a big treat! We brought a cutter and had personalized matchboxes made to go out with them.

Katie - That sucks! Not helpful, I know, but you really wont care too much about it on your wedding day.

Samira- I don't know if you looked into any other photographers of their caliber, but I think their rates are comparable. I started out with a really low photography budget, but when you think about it, your pictures (besides your marriage) are really the one thing that lasts beyond that one day. I personally think they were worth every penny. My dad was the most sceptical, but even he was impressed with them in the end. If you want a little more info on them as individuals - like if you're choosing between them - just let me know, and I can give you my perspective of their different styles. I will tell you, that every single person that has seen my pics has said that they're the best wedding pictures they've ever seen. vlvetter7 - All the guys suits, including my stepson's vest and pants came from Studiosuits.com, Custom Suits | Designer Suits they came pretty quickly and were much better quality than I was expecting for $99. My husband got the vest with his to make his more fancy. A few of the guys had to have theirs altered slightly, but I think it was due to faulty measuring.

Thanks again girls! Our photographers were the fabulous Wedrockers, from Monterrey, MX. You can book them separately, two of them, three of them, or all four. We were extremely pleased with not just their work, but also the way they interacted with us and our guests. This is my review of them... http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...uaristi-56757/ Regarding the Mariachi, I really didn't think they were cheesy at all. And I absolutely hate any kind of cheesy-ness. I would describe it as festive, and really a once in a lifetime thing. We had our first dance and dances with our parents to their music, since we weren't having a private reception we didn't have any other way of having one. It was actually really fun and I think our guests all really loved it. I'm not sure how it would be without any kind of music, but I think having them added a lot to the cocktail hour. The chair bows, in retrospect, are something I could have done without. They were very inexpensive though, and I like the splashes of color.

Samira - I got the chair sashes from here wedding linens direct home page they were really inexpensive and good quality. They sell them in packs of 10 for like $8, and they came in the mail pretty quickly. The resort charges $4 for each chair they put one of their sashes on. When I brought the sashes to the meeting, Rebecca told me that they would charge me $20 to put them on for us, but I don't remember seeing it on our bill.

Jannae- The cocktail hour was free, but she told me it was subject to availability up until I told her I wanted to book the Mariachi, then all of a sudden she was able to confirm it. It was set up outside the theatre, I think it was called Lyrico Bar. I would definately do it there, especially at that time. I know sunset will be different when you're there, but it was really perfect to have the sun be setting while we're all outside with the dancing and champagne and all that. Also, the inside bar gets crowded, and where we were, it was pretty private.

Thanks for all the compliments ladies! We ended up having 25 guests, which was a big difference from the 80 people who originally told us they were going to come. I actually ended up planning like 3 different weddings as the numbers started dwindling. We had our wedding at 5, then went straight to the cocktail hour (which is what you see as the reception in most of the pictures) from 5:30-6:30. We had the mariachi band, champagne, cuban cigars, thats also where we had everyone sign our scrapbook guestbook. David and I did our first dance to the mariachi band, and we also did father/daughter mother/son dances there too. After that, we went to Chilis for dinner, we had the mezzanine area which was totally private. Thats where we did all the toasts and wedding cake. Dinner was so good! Everyone kept asking me if it was a special dinner for the wedding or if they serve that stuff every night. After that, we went to the lobby bar for more drinks and our photgraphers had prepared a slide show of some of the pics they had taken so far. That was awesome! Even my dad was crying, and he's not a cryer. After awhile, a few of the older people went to bed, and the rest of us went to the Riu Tequila to dance. I saw a few private receptions while we were there, and I actually think I prefered going to the Tequila, there just seemed to be more energy. We considered renting the Riu Yucatan disco, but it seemed pretty silly with 25 people and it was really expensive. The whole thing was put together really fly by night because of people not being able to afford the trip at the last minute, but I really think it ended up being great! We even say to each other that we really wouldn't change anything if we could do it over again. Oh, and I wouldn't suggest trying to write your own ceremony. We did, and we poured hours into it. They asked us to send them a copy well in advance so that the minister could get comfortable with it, but I think the first time he looked at it was 5 minutes before our ceremony and his accent was really strong. So strong that we couldn't understand anything he was saying. It was really funny, and we were laughing about it, but in retrospect, I probably could have used the time we spent writing it doing other things.

Gina - All the people who had rooms facing outside the hotel had really musty smelling rooms. We think it's because they don't really use those rooms unless the courtyard rooms are booked, so they probably sit empty all summer when the hotel isn't at full capacity. We included travel candles in our welcome bags, and most people said lighting them for a few days solved the problem.

Thanks Sammygirl! My shoes are by Benjamin Adams, style Carmen. I got them in white dyable, and had somebody local dye them to match the guy's ties. I really wanted wedges because I didn't want my shoes to sink into the grass, and the few people who wore heels had that issue - I think.

Thanks! My BM dresses are just BCBG dresses I found and all the girls liked them. They were in stores a year ago for $350-$400, but I found a seller on ebay that had them in all the sizes I needed (new with tags) and was able to get them for between $95-$105.

Hi ladies! I haven't been around in a long time, I was really busy getting everything ready, but we just got back from our wedding at RPRM. I'm still working on the review, but there really won't be anything in there you haven't heard before. We just had a few little issues with Rebecca (like she tried to get us to start our wedding 20 mins early, before our guests had even showed up, and she was talking to her friend while she was supposed to be playing our recessional song - someone actually had to whistle at her). Other than that, everything was great! All our guests were really impressed with the RPRM. Anyways, here are some pics from our photogs if you want to see what our wedding at the RPRM looked like (give it a few mins to load, its 200 pics)... http://wedrockers.com/kellyanddavid/
