Hi Ladies, How are you? I was trying to plan my welcome dinner...I was contemplating between Arrecifes or Trattoria. Can you former MP brides tell me which one you prefer. Thanks so much!

April 23, 2010 Simba, please let me know how you make out!! Where are you getting married at?

I like 2 the best!

Congrats and Welcome to the forum! I am a MP bride as well!

Oh wow, that's great! Congrats!

anyone? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi ladies, I know some of you are probably dead set against this idea but I wanted to do something that my fiancee would enjoy. He isn't a big fan of sweets so the groom cake can't wont work out too well. I am really interested in setting up a Cigar bar for him and over course others to enjoy if interested. Has anyone done this or have some information Anything would be helpful! THANKS!

Thanks Ladies!! I can't wait to mail them out!

I'm so excited and I simply love how flattering Maggie Sottero dresses are for all women & sizes! Thanks again ;-)

I think the consensus is, so long as the photographer is staying overnight at the resort, MP doesn't seem to mind. I think the rub would be if I hired a photographer from MX and they had just a day pass--might be more blatantly competing with their onsite photographers. Either way, they have no way to prove your photogapher isn't just your guest, so I'm not too worried about it. Btw, i took cutierosie's idea/advice and typed up a word document with all of my questions and comments, broken out by event (welcome dinner, cocktail hour, reception, etc) and listed out in detail what I wanted or what I needed more clarification on. I listed out our menu (I mixed and matched from the options), pasted pictures of the bouquet and centerpieces I wanted, etc. I'll be sure to print this document out and have it with me when I meet with my WC. I'm also creating a binder where I'll put the word document, receipts and emails from certain vendors we've hired and all email correspondence with the resort as back-up. We're going with the DJ--Alejandro. We were able to negotiate. There's always room to do that I've learned! We're doing the 4 hour package with slideshow. We figured we wanted a bit of the traditional wedding feel--best man and matron of honor speeches, possibly even the DJ announcing us and the bridal party and then the music responsibility left up to someone else. He assured us that guests can make requests and that he'd feel out the "crowd". Mrs. Eddy do you mind sharing the document for all us MP brides Thanks!

Awwhh poor brandy, you seem so overwhelmed. Can I try and pick your brain some and try to help out? I agree with Tammy B as well!! How old is your puppy? What's her feeding routine like? How much time is she spending in her crate? What do you do with her when she is brought back inside? Maybe you should try letting her out first. If you don't confidence that she is doing number 2 outside I suggest you walking her on a leash? Is she going on her crate at all? There are some many different things that it could be... puppies need a ton of patience.

Congrats! Welcome Angela!

I must agree... I did my STD's with her and now waiting on my boarding pass invites!! She is GREAT!!

I can't wait to see pictures!! It's lovely!

They look great! I love your dress!

I love it and its soooo great on you!! Congrats!

I love one... its very flattering on you!
