Congrats on your wedding! Sorry to hear about the service, that is disconcerting. Looking forward to your review, have fun on your honeymoon!

We're at Dreams from the 13th to 19th, then at Secrets until the 24th. Have you arranged a transfer from Dreams to Secrets? Our TA just told us to arrange for a cab when we were down there, as Apple Vacations doesn't transfer between resorts... I am getting so excited, but so nervous for all the stuff I need to do!

Jess - beautiful ring! I can't find that seller on Etsy, do you have a link? I am looking for something for my hair now. We are going to another resort in the Riviera Maya after our wedding, Secrets Maroma Beach. I can't wait for that!

Wonderful review, I love your dress!! Beautiful!

Thanks for the review, you looked beautiful!

Saw these today, very cute!

Also wanted to let you know you're not the only one taking the laid-back approach to this whole wedding planning process...I feel so behind when I see how motivated other brides are on here, but they do give me some great ideas Oh that's awesome! We'll have to meet up for a drink at somepoint, maybe on our honeymoons! When do you switch over to Secrets? Are you having many people attend your wedding?

Wow, those are pretty darn inexpensive!!

And from what I remember not too far off from your actual gown right? I am SOOO far behind...I'm just not getting invites out! AHH But here are the pictures: The invites are perfect!

Fantastic photos!! Love the one with all 3 of you! Off to check out your BD photos...

Congrats on getting your date Clairisse! Let the planning begin!

Dress shopping is next week.... getting pretty excited about that!! Are you doing anything special for the 40 ppl coming like an excursion or a small thank you token? I am still brain storming on this one. We are going to do an OOT bag for each room, with travel mugs, koozies, sunscreen, etc. Trying to decide whether to deliver them to all our guests before we leave or bring them all down ourselves. I am hoping to do a pashmina for all the women attending, but need to think of something for the men. Any ideas?? I thought that would be cute, as it can get cool there in November. Oh, and I'm so happy to hear you've been to Maroma Beach before! And lucky you doing a site visit - fun!!

Thanks for this thread! I am getting married in November, and we are still deciding when to do the AHR. I think getting it done in December is unrealistic, and we'll have a lot of conflict with the holidays. I wonder if I can talk FI into waiting until May or June for nice weather? Probably not!

I'm not really a big fan, but it is tough to avoid it where I live because Pat Miletich's gym is here. I dated a TUF 2 guy for awhile when he lived here, and tried to ignore the fact that he was a fighter, lol! Nadine, your pics are awesome!

Funny thread!! My boss has been out of the office all week, so I have been on here waaaaayyy too much this week! Need to play catch up today so everything is done when he comes back on Monday, lol!

Great job!! Very cute!

I'm interested in this too! And where can I buy the satin? Do you sew?

We wanted to have alone time as well and this resort is perfect for that. I'm hoping Dreams is half as good! I'm going to check out the Dreams resort this fall. How are your wedding plans? Which ceremony/reception are you going with? I'm just now starting the planning, hah! We've been crazy busy selling my house and moving into his, the wedding kind of took a back seat. I am pretty laid back about it, and not going to go overboard with anything. We've got the trip booked, have my dress, have invites out, and about 40 ppl booked. I'm just now starting on the details. We just signed up for the free package, because we weren't sure we needed everything that came with the Love or Ultimate package. We are hiring a photog out of the US to come for three days, and bringing RealTouch flowers with. We may decide to upgrade as the date comes closer, but we'd probably just rather save our money, as we're paying for it ourselves. I'm trying really hard not to get stressed about a thing!
