To tell you the truth this whole thing has been frustrating and I was happy to just be booked!

So it is now official, Sandos Playacar it is! We have finally booked and we also have January 7th @ 430pm for our wedding.

great job!

OK, so here are the pics. Sorry about my face in the one. Also keep in mind that it is slightly too big so it is difficult to get the full affect of the dress. It is a little big in the bust area and the waste area. If you need a certain picture just let me know because I am happy to help in any way. Thanks, jessica

Jewlers would have a reason to discourage people from buying tungsten & titanium. They are industrial metals so they are much cheaper than gold & platinum. but, they have many advanatages & make a great ring. They just happen to be cheap. I got my husbad's for around $8 online. jewlery stores mark them up a lot because people are already expecting to spend over $100 on the band. There is no reason to. It's a cheap metal. Where did you buy his ring? Thanks!

this dress is still available....

I see a lot of you have questions about Sandos Playacar. We are planning on being married there in January. Check out this forum- Sandos Playacar Brides!

I haven't order them either but if you do let me know. I am really thinking about using them after seeing how cute all of the bags are. Thanks for the site!

We are hoping to be there the 5-12th and I say hope b/c we haven't booked yet so our dates are still up in the air. I have a confirmation in for our date but no reservations yet. Go figure.I'm a little frustrated with that part.

Yay Diana! Can't wait to see pictures and hear all about it! It won't be long now and you're doing good getting packed already .

I would pay for shipping.It is a very light dress so it would be perfect for a destination wedding and it will travel easily. It came to us in a small bag and once I hung the dress up for a little while all wrinkles were gone-no pressing needed. I am pretty sure the fabric is organza with embroidered flowers making it look like lace. I am waiting for a phone call to know exactly what it is made out of(sorry I"m bad at that stuff) so I will let you know as soon as I hear. I am very open to offers so please, please feel free to make an offer and if you'd like to you can PM me. I am willing to work with you in any way. Thank you SO much for looking! Jessica

It is a workout program that I just started. It is 6 days a week for 45 minutes each day. They alternate between kickboxing M-W-F and resistance training T-Th-S. There is also a meal plan that I am following. There have been some really awesome results. here is the website if you want to check it out. Take a look at the $1,000 winners b/c those are results in 10 weeks. Amazing! Farrell’s eXtreme Bodyshaping® - Farrell's FXB, Fitness Programs Iowa & Nebraska, Fitness Clubs Iowa I think they are actually looking into expanding their locations and they did mention Dallas but I"m sure that won't be for a while. I'm hooked!

The dress is approximately 59" from the top of the strap to the bottom of the front, 4'1" from the middle of the bust to the bottom of the front, and 79" from the straps to the bottom of the train. If you have anymore questions, please let me know.

Hey ladies- I thought I would start a thread seeing if there are any other Farrell's brides out there. I'm pretty sure as of right now Farrell's is only in Nebraska and Iowa. I just started my first 10 weeks on Monday and I"m loving it so far! Hope to find other FXB brides!

I'm really not being picky, on flowers, so it doesn't really stress me to wait, but I kind of want to budget for something. We are having our wedding at Sandos Playacar. I am hoping that the resort is okay with allowing outside flowers to come in.

I completely agree with wanting to do my own flowers. I'm not looking for anything too fancy either. I haven't been to the Walmart in PDC but I have in Puerto Vallarta and it was very much the same. I would think that they probably have street side markets with fresh flowers. I'll be anxious to see if you get anymore information regarding this topic b/c I would love to know too!

I got mine too! I really like the fabric. I am going to keep my eyes open to see if someone else does another thread before my wedding b/c I would love to get a few more . Thanks again!

Wow! Thanks for this thread. I have never really used Etsy but I think I might start. They have lots of cute stuff

I agree. It is your wedding and you should feel beautiful. I bought a dress initially online but never go the "wow I feel pretty"(oh so pretty so after second guessing myself, I now have a second dress that I do feel great in. I initially thought that a DW should have a certain type of dress-small train, not too flowy, etc. but in the end it is really what you want and you can use whatever dress you want. Remember it is your wedding day and you'll only have one of them so dress like you want.

Quote: Originally Posted by Scubadiva What is the size on it? Sorry, looks like I forgot that part. I had it custom made, but I wear a street size 12-14. My measurements bust-42, waist-34, hips-41. The dress was a little loose in the chest and a lot loose in the waist.

Hey ladies- I have become a 2 dress bride. We ordered my first dress online and now I have found a second This dress is a very pretty dress. It would be great for a TTD or an inexpensive wedding dress. I have many more pictures available if you are interested. We are asking $180 OBO and we would be very negotiable on the price. I had a a seamstress look at the dress and she says that it could be altered very easily, it has not been altered at this time. Dress is new with no alterations. The only time the dress has been worn was when I tried it on to take pictures. PM me if you have more questions or want more pictures. Thanks for looking!

Diana-thanks for that information. It will be helpful once the time gets cloer. candikiss- Good luck with last minute planning!! You'll have to show pics! We'll all be anxiously awaiting. I have another question for all of you- What are you thinking of doing for the evening? Are you guys having a private ceremony? I am thinking of just heading to the disco with nothing too formal just dancing and drinks to top off the wonderful day. Just wondering! Thanks, Jessica

I agree. I felt completely lost on where to start or what to do and there is so much information and help on this site. I am also logging in frequently, some times too frequently . Thanks a bunch!
