YaelM

The Gods are really hating Mexico right...drug wars, swine flu and now a 6.0 earthquake, seriously is this a joke?

Seriously UGH...all i have to say is THANK GOD for this forum cuz at least we have eachother to vent and keep us sane for the most part. Every time i stress I come here and feel a bit better. Most ppl agree that the media is blowing it out of proportion and u just have to be smart when u travel.

Ayita - can you please come over and talk some sense into my mom. She is stressing and feels that we should consider canceling. She doesn't want to feel responsible for ppl coming to our wedding and getting sick. Now Europe has issues a travel advisory and we have a lot of ppl traveling from Spain, Israel and France. I keep going back and forth between being calm and FREAKING OUT

OMG u guys i don't know what to do. Im so upset Im sitting here crying at work. We are suppose to leave in 1 week from today and we have family flying in from Europe. If Europe AND the US issue travel warnings my mom is gonna cancell. I seriously cant believe this

Yamille - I HATE this stupid flu thing...the media is insane about it. Like we dont have enough shit to worry about. I leave in 1 week and hoping this just goes away...I think someone on the flu thread posted some good info to put in perspective. Like FI keeps telling me as I stress out, its more of a big deal because its new not because its that serious. By now its been found in CA, Texas, MA, MY KS, and NO cases in the coastal tourist parts of Mexico.

"This sounds like a pandemic — while it's not trivial — that is less severe. And less severe is something that we spent a lot of time planning for and a lot of time working on," Dr. Allison McGeer, director of infection control at Mount Sinai Hospital told CBC News. While the cases in Mexico sound like a large number, "in truth for influenza, that's a very small number," she added. "You need to remember that in Canada alone, which is not that much bigger than Mexico City actually in population terms, 4,000 people die of seasonal flu every year." I leave for my wedding in 6 days. I'm trying to stay calm and hopefully it rubs off on my 55 guests. So far, no one is canceling their trip and we have 6 kids coming with us. To put some perspective on this, the distance from Mexico City to Cancun is similar to the distance from Ottawa to Winnipeg (~1500 miles). It's pretty far. When Toronto was dealing with the SARS outbreak a few years ago, I wasn't worried and I lived only 5 hours away in Ottawa. I hope this helps a little. Thanks! this helps a lot - im more worried about the media than the actual flu itself...like the article said thousands of peoiple die from the flu every year. This is just something new so they are taking precautions....

Here is mine For earings Im wearing small pearl studs - same company as the necklace so the color will match

Ayita are you worried about this swine flu...i know there is a thread already on this but since you are leaving on Tuesday I wanted to get your thoughts...Im worried they are gonna post travel advisories..ugh

ugh! Our layover is in Mexico City Airport...kinda freaking out, I mean Im sure it will be fine but WTF i just want to get married!

GAH 00000000000 i love it!! I have a maggie too:) the detail at the bottom is great

I * HEART* wine - FI and I try a new wine every weekend. But i really only like Reds Anything from Spain from the Ribiera Del Duero. Im also a fan of Malbecs. For our wedding in Mexico we are having 2006 Catena Malbec from Argenitina - they sell it at Costco - u guys should try it!! For our legal day FI (well i guess technically DH) and I splurged and got 2002 Stags Leap Fay Cabernet Sauvignon - OMG it was the most amazing wine I have ever had...so worth every penny!

Thanks Ayita for compiling this!!
