Here is a link to the most current information that came out today: U.S. declares swine flu public health emergency - Infectious diseases- msnbc.com

Aerazo- there is a time limit though on the receptions, its like 3 or 4 hours so depending on what time you start your reception, say 6pm you would have to be done by 10 anyways.....

Amanda, ok I am officially inviting you to my wedding so you have an excuse to go but under the condition that you have to get your photos taken! Regardless, I think you need to do it- think if it as preventing years of therapy in the future!

to the forum! Good Luck with your planning!

Hi Mikki, to the forum! I'm a June 2010 bride too! Good Luck with your planning!

Amanda and Marie! Come on ladies we are dying for those reviews! Our lives depend on them! (was that enough of a push?) Amanda- Are you still going to do a photo shoot in Mexico next year to make up for it? I hadn't heard anything new on that for awhile. I hope that is still the plan, you deserve it! Jax- Amanda is right! Do not regret it, you are doing the right thing! Photography is the most important thing to me! I'm planning to spend the most money on that and everyone thinks I'm crazy but I don't care! It's my day! Just like its you day and you deserve to have the memories from it! Don't let them get to you! Would they not expect you to get a photographer if you were married at home?

Denise, when you receive the rest we would be greatful to see them if you wouldn't mind sharing! They are just fantastic! Now I have to go check out the other new thread! I'm just like a little kid at Christmas!!

Quote: I know that we've all been wondering if the new wedding packages are available to us who may have already booked a package with the resort. I emailed Zulma last evening with that question and she emailed me back today. She said that we can select an OLD or NEW wedding package; whichever we prefer. If one of the new packages includes more, you can go with it and feel great about it. That is such great news to me because we didn't want to spend $50 more per person to have a private reception. We were planning on going to a restaurant on 5th Ave. for dinner since there are 12 of us and the resort won't sit a table if there's more than 8 people. We are getting the Classic Wedding Package. Also, did you notice that if you are having a minister or justice of the peace, it is now just $400, not $550. The good news just keeps on coming. This is the best news I have heard since I started planning this damn DW!! I am so frickin excited that I can hardly contain myself! This will allow my to spend more money on my photog- I was having to settle before.. Quote: Hey Girls! Ok lots going - I leave in less than 2 days!! Whoa....then i hear about the SWINE FLU OUTBREAK in MEXICO!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now i am scared - we have (2) 3 month olds coming and 2 other toddlers....Should I warn their moms?? Oh man why now? i have enough stress!! PLus i had a dream last night that my wedding got all screwed up! argh! Anyway - I was told that i didn't need my docs translated!!! DO that have to be? Oh no - i am scared now....well i guess if they do then we can just have the symbolic ceremony and get legally married when we return. I can't stress about it - i have waaay to much going on these next two days...speaking of that - i am late for my final hair cut/color!! Let me know if anyone has heard about this new outbreak!! I have heard of the flu but only on this website, there are some other threads about it I think in the chit chat corner and mexico travel threads. I am not sure what to tell you. All I can say is that several brides on here have just return with no problems and my friends parents just returned without problems- I don't know, it might only be a bigger problem if you venture out of the resort to the poverty ridden communities surounding the resort, like there are several on the way to Tulum. As for your docs... look at the website, if you have never been married before you only need the blood test and your passport or something like that so you would be ok. If you have been married before you degree was to be translated and therefore you would not be able to legally marry and will have to do it when you return. Don't worry either way you will have a beautiful wedding and everything will work out! Quote: "PLEASE NOTE THERE IS CONSTRUCTION GOING ON BEHIND THE HOTEL, ON 1ST AVENUE. IT CAN BE NOISY AT TIMES BETWEEN 8AM AND 6PM. THIS CONSTRUCTION DOES NOT BELONG TO THE HOTEL." Well that is just great! Obviously my wedding is far enough away that this doesn't effect much. Perhaps our brides that just got back can tell us how bad it is? Tati? Veronica? This is always one of my big fears when its my turn to go.

Shannon, OMG girl! I am going to miss planning with you! Everything looks so great! I am just bursting with excitment for you! Your are going to be gorgeous and everything is going to be perfect! I can't wait till you get back so I can hear every last detail!

Denise your pictures are amazing! Denise, did you do a TTD? I wish there were more pictures of your wedding on the slide, I want to see more!! Lincoln and Lori you guys are amazing!
