I got rates for the Karisma properties on their websites. They have them listed for the entire year of 2010. check out Karisma Hotels & Resorts | My TA has been reserving rooms for us in May 2010.

Hello! I am trying to send out Save The Dates for guests invited to my stateside reception at the same time I am sending out invitations to my Mexican wedding. Does anyone have a wording they used? I was thinking something along the lines of: Amy and Mark are having a small wedding ceremony in Mexico May 29 2010. We would love you to join us as we return to Maryland and celebrate our marriage on July 24 2010 Location Address Time Thoughts? Thanks!!!

OK so this is a bit sappy but I love it! I read it at a friend's wedding and I am going to have it read at mine too: The Art of marriage The little things are the big things. It is never being too old to hold hands It is remembering to say, "I love you" at least once a day. It is never going to sleep angry. It is not time taking the other for granted; the courtship should not end with the honeymoon, it should continue thought all the years. It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives. It is standing together facing the world. It is forming a circle of love that gathers in the whole family. It is doing things for each other, not in the attitude of duty or sacrifice, but in the spirit of joy. It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways. It is not expecting the husband to wear a halo or the wife to have wings of an angel. It is not looking for perfection in each other. It is cultivating flexibility, patience, understanding and a sense of humour. It is having the capacity to forgive and forget. It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow. It is finding room for the things of the spirit. It is common search for the good and the beautiful. It is establishing a relationship in which the independence is equal, dependence is mutual and the obligation is reciprocal. It is not only marrying the right partner, It is being the right partner.

Simistar - I am so sorry that you had such a bad experience! From the good pictures I saw, you looks gorgeous! Oh that arm up in the air made me laugh... you have a good sense of humor. Good luck having them altered by a real professional!!

Hey girls - I am so confused about colors right now! What combinations are you using? My sister got married in the fall so she used fall colors... But what do you use when you get married on a tropicla island? I was considering using all the colors of tropical flowers b/c I cannot narrrow it down! What color combos are you using? And can I send out invites in one color and then do my wedding theme in different colors? Thanks for the help!

Thanks C All I can say is that the Sensatori is a bigger reosrt and the Azul Beach is smaller with 98 rooms and kids are allowed. I wanted more intimacy and only one wedding a day so I chose the Azul Beach. If you want more options, the Sensatori is a better pick. I think Beach has 3 restaurants. I haven't been to any of them but found Tripadvisor.com VERY helpful. Just dont get caught up on the bad reviews.

Well I finally found a TA who said now is the time to plan - espcially since I am having a wedding over Memorial Day weekend! Kittenheart - thanks for the mywedding.com - I love it! And I love that you do not have to have the "how we met" page activated. My Fiance said he did not want any of that stuff on the page - perfect! My TIP: I keep a Memory Stick/Flash Drive in my purse with all of my wedding info - that way I can add things to it at work and home !

RE: WEATHER This is very TRUE! I live in bermuda and the weather.com forecast is rain every day. Now, it is pouring today, but besides that it hasn't rained for almost a month! These are like passing showers like they have in Florida. I have been watching the cancun weather too but if you look at how many inches of rain that falls - its like 0.02 - 0.30 inches....

Thanks Kitten heart - annoucnements are a great idea since I do not have a date to save yet for the US reception! I have called 2 travel agents now who think that it is to early to start looking at rooms to book. weird! Hey - is anyone using a website to give guests more informatioon? If so - what website are you using Thanks and happy planning! Amy

Jenny - awesome pics! What was your bouquet called - was it just tropical flowers?? I love it!! I also love your centerpeices. How did you tell AZUL to do that arrangement? We need your planning thread as everything looks amazing. I hope my wedding party takes as many shots as you guys did - nice work!

Thanks! Yeah I am nervous if some people dont get a save the date for the local party they'll not realize I am having another party besides the smaller mexico wedding and will feel left out of everything! I guess buying 2 save the dates might be expensive but worth saving some feelings.

Next is the dress! I know, I know I'm way ahead of myself but I can't help it wow you are doing good! I am almost booked at Azul beach for May 29th 2010 and I really want to send out STD magnets in the next month or so. Did you send them out to the wedding guests? I am having a US side reception too - should I send STDs to those guests? I don't want extended family and friends who I am inviting to the US recpetion only to wonder where their STDs are.... Thoughts?

Hi all! I am almost booked and confirmed - still need to pay the $200 deposit - May 29 2010 - at AZUL Beach Hotel!

Oh geez, that's terrible! I was wondering what everyone was going to do when that flu broke out. I am sure your California wedding will be gorgeous! what photographer were you going to use? I like Claudia, however the Lomas Travel price list is almost $1000 more than her direct price list.... The pictures are one of the more important things to me. Thanks for the help!

Hi Yael, How was your wedding

I know you can do it at the AZUL Beach as thats what I am planning! There is one place on the beach and the dance floor is an extra charge. There might be an open air but covered roof restaurant too.

I live in Bermuda so can only reccomend things as a local, but the SH Princess would be a very nice place for a wedding. They have a bar called the wine cellar thats awesome after your recpetion and they have a fab spa too. You can get married on the beach and have the reception down by the water in a private restaurant. The other great place is the Reefs. I had a friend get married there and they were very complimentary of the staff.

Hi all - I am looking at pelican Bay at Lucaya to get marrried in Grand Bahama. Has anyone been there? I am interested in a beach wedding but some of thr pix I have seen there look a little dumpy with the chain link fence in the background. I do like all of the reviews and the price of the hotel seems very good. Any other suggestions in Grand Bahama? Most of our family is in the Maryland and Pennsylavnia area so we are looking for a short flight from there and the Bahamas look like the best option. Suggestions welcome!! Thanks so much Amy
