We had to cancel our Cancun wedding last minute as well but were able to get flights (after hours on the phone) and rooms at the Riu in Paradiuse Island Bahamas. So i am still disappointed a bit but it looks like the drama is over (hopefully) and i may be able to start looking forward to this. i guess i better- we leave on sunday!!!! Good luck to all the other "Swune Flu Birdes"!!

So sorry hun. My wedding was supposed to be in Cancun on the 6th and with less than a week to go we decided to move everything- we're going to the Bahamas instead. (what a pain in the ass that was!) It was a good thing we decided when we did too becuase resorts everywhere are filling up with people that are changing their mexico trips we almost didn't get enough rooms! I know exactly how you feel and good luck with whatever you decide. Everything happens for a reason (that's what i keep telling myself!)

They dont do anything for you but take your money and provide you with table linens. Everything else you have to do, they hand you over a list of vendors and you have to contact them yourself. I have had 6 people cancel out on not attending, my brother wont be attending because of our argument and that means no ring bearer for him as his son was my ring bearer. One of my groomsmen is paranoid so he is refusing to go, Im soo upset. I will just play it by ear, my MOH is so supportive, she is like Im going to be there regardless of what is going on to support you. Im trying to stay positive and just hope that this all goes away by the time we leave on May 11 Hey if you go to Atlantis, maybe i'll see you there- Riu is right next door and we're not coming back until the 13th. and good news ladies- i finally heard back form Cecilia at Dreams and they are refunding my total deposit i had put down for the wedding (Thank God!) good luck to you all

So ladies- i am no longer a Dreams Cancun birde Our BM's company also said he wouldn't be able to go back to work if he traveled to Mexico and i have a couple other guests that are in remission from cancer with NO immune system and their doctor's said "no way in hell" could they go. So yesterday (one of the most stressful days of my life!) we decided to change everything- cancel dreams and find a new resort that still has availability and flights for everyone. So after all of my guests and myself spending hours on the phone trying to change everything we finally all got re-booked. We're now getting married at thr Riu in Paradise Island in the Bahamas. I was soooo upset (to say the least) but Riu is a great resort and i guess i need to accept it and move on. I'll be sure to post my review and pics when we get back- we're leaving Sunday!!! Good luck to all of you Dreams brides and those who are still going- don't worry it's just the flu! unfortunately for me i would have been the only one at my wedding if i had stayed with Dreams. oh well-everything happens for a reason.

I'm leaving for Canucn this Saturday too- and FI and i decided (after my "almost breakdown") that we're going and that's it. anyone who wants to stay home can cancel and get full refunds- so screw it. If we're gonna get sick we could get sick just as easily here in the states- i am not watching anymore news!! Good luck to everyone else ;-)

We leave on Saturday and my whole family is freaking out and asking if we can go somewhere else!!!! I was actually considering making some phone calls to see if maybe we chnage to Dreams in Punta Cana or something. I can't believ i have to think about this a week before my wedding!!! supposedly the govt is going to be making a statement- if they say we can't travel to MX i guess i'll have to think of somthing, but until then i'll just sit tight and see what happens. And i was doing so good with not stressing about anything!! JEEZ!!

I just saw a news report that says if your going to Mexico- don't change your plans and not to worry. Just wash your hands and all of that. Also you cannot get this diesease from eating pork products (thank God cause i love bacon!) don't worry ladies!!!

Congratulations!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed the day and the resort and everything! I leave in a week and now i'm more excited than ever!!!! can't wait to see your pictures!!!

I wired money through my bank a couple of months ago and it went through the next day. They said it depends on when the "recieving bank" accepts the transfer and does their paperwork. Maybe you shoudl call your bank and they can give you some info? good luck!

Hey ladies! Just wanted to let you all know i had my bachelorette party this weekend - it was AWESOME!!!! and my legal day was yesterday! It's official I'm Mrs. P!!!! We went to the justice of the peace at the toen court- it was short and sweet but very nice. I pretty much have everything done for mexico- we leave next Saturday. The only thing i'm still working on are my playlist for my ipod (which is taking waaaay more time than i had thought it would) but that's it- I'm sooo ready for vacation!!!

I am always a little hesitant to listen to a new album, probably because I don't know the songs, but its always been that way for me and I end up loving the songs. Can't wait to see them! Who played Sax? New sax guy is Jeff Coffin from the felck tones. Tim Reynolds is touring with them again and Rashawn Ross on the tumpet. enjoy the show!!!

Yeah happy Wedding day!!!!!
