angruck

this really cements the fact i guess that I should have the reception inside.

i didn't realize in December the sun goes down so quickly!

this is crazy i went from junior member to noob! i was so proud of the junior member title! :-(

everything looks great! the bags looked wonderful, even though you mentioned they didn't hold up to water---still so beautiful.

There were also a lot of people standing around to watch them too, which could work if worse came to worse. The fire dancers performed at the Caribbean party on Friday while we were there, but I'm not totally sure if that is always the case. We had originally requested to have the fire dancers at our wedding. Then, in the month or so before the wedding, the WC told us that they were scheduled to perform at the resort on our night, and that if we wanted them to, they would have performed their regularly scheduled show at the other end of the relax pool so that our party could see them (but we would not have to pay, as they would already be performing for the other resort guests, who would have also been by the relax pool, then). In the end, I told her that we didn't want to (b/c she had said it was an hour long show, and I was afraid it would have taken up our entire reception b/c we were getting a late start). Then, when we got to the resort, she said they moved the show to Friday since we didn't want them. I'm not sure if this was only an option b/c we were a larger party, but it is something to keep in mind and talk to the WC about. thanks for all the helpful information. I hope its on Friday so we can have a welcome dinner around that.

starlitk your pics are great! this makes me want to take pictures with my fiance before the ceremony.

congratulations dee! cant wait to read the review!

Amy it sounds like your wedding went well! There seemed to be less issues with your wedding then there were for the other weddings in late June. Hopefully this will continue

great review! it seems like issues were resolved for the most part and everything turned out great. Can;t wait to see pics.

i just realized we have two threads going----lets only talk on this one http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t32029-8 I just don't want anyone to miss a post because there are two threads. Miss sunshyne can you put the two restaurants on the other thread so we stay consistent?

I've started already drafting it in Word and I carry it around on my memory stick to work on it when I have a spare moment! In the meantime, here is the link to our slideshow: we're very happy with our photographers, Lincoln and Lori from Moments That Matter. We did a full TTD session the day after the wedding and had a blast!!! Mayan Riviera Destination Wedding Photography Galleries by Moments That Matter Photography. Hope everyone is having an amazing summer!!! Chantal I love your flowers! so bright and beautiful! Your wedding looked great!

On a side note is anyone else ready for December to be here?!?! I still have a bunch of little things to do, but honestly feel like we could just go get married tomorrow and I would be happy!!!! I am also looking forward to the wedding but wish we could get married this weekend and get everything over with! I am sure if i did that with the website---people would make comments--I'm gonna leave that option off

Hi Miss Sunshyne, that sounds great! I found the link for the restaurant---it looks great! Any thoughts anyone? Here is the link: SAZON | Welcome To The Official Website of Sazon Restaurant

well if your group isn't using it its likely mine won't either! We have a diverse group---some probably don't even have computers or at least know how to use them for something like that. Thanks Nadine!

that looks great!! beautiful dress!

Hi Everyone, I noticed a few new people have find this link Yes we are all going to meet up on Sept 11th....if you have good ideas of a place for all of us to drink, eat, and just have fun give some places you think might work. We are open to ideas! Everyone is thinking of great places to go so nothing is planned yet.

i should use items like the rsvp part on my website---definitely would be a good idea! Still haven't activated it yet.

I wish now that I had booked a seperate hotel for after the wedding..but in some ways I am excited to hang out with my friends more We plan to take a real honeymoon sometime next year

After the wedding, we are transfering to Secrets Maroma for our honeymoon. How are you plans coming along? We all were on pins and needles for the two days before confirmation no worries!

I am so excited about all the upcoming reviews! Ladies please let me know about the issues you might have faced and what we can do to make it run more smoothly. I am fully aware it is impossible to avoid all issues---just want a heads up!

When the guest got to the cocktail area there were several different drinks offered, and some cute hotpink and orange drinks....they were even bringing over shots to us!! We loved it...no exta cost just ask when you have the meeting! Thanks for the update!!! I am excited about this because we wanted to make sure everyone is covered

I am also a pronovias bride----loved their dresses---and reasonably priced!

When we got to our cocktail hour, there were bottles of champagne set up, so it seemed to be champagne only. However, there was one waiter who brought a few of our guests other drinks when they were requested. I don't know if any of any other guests asked for anything else, though. No waiters asked me if I wanted anything else, so I just assumed it was champagne only. This is a great question. I looked at the 2009 guide---supposed to be open car for that hour---I am definitely going to make sure this is done---otherwise it isn't worth it.
