Vlvetter check out the link below, some of the brides have names some local photographers. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...dations-56814/ I think the resort photographer is called Calypso, from what I read befroe all the brides had godo experience with them. From what I know they are much cheaper than getting an outside photographer. But I personally ended up going with an outside photographer just because I loved his work and I am not much of a poser so I wanted someone who was real good at taking candid shots. Samira

HOWEVER, newest info (that I am printing up via email) is that since they are staying at the resort for the wedding night, we don't need to pay the 200 (previously told 100) fee. I am printing EVERYTHING up before I go. As for the ceremony music- I was told by another bride (don't remember who) that the resort has a system that you can use if you want to bring your own CD. I would ask them though just to be sure!. So how long on average did it take for them to get to you for your first email correspondence? I have heard 1-2 months but wanted to get a more detailed idea from the brides that have already been contacted!! Ladytrunck my wedding date is exactly 2 months away, I havenpt heard from Ael as yet. I assume I will hear some time end of April.

Adrienne - your siggy pic is very cute!!

btw I went for my dress fiting today, I tried attaching a pic so that you guys can see it, sorry dont have a front picture other than what you see in the mirror :-)

I was in the sameboat, so we are doing the symbolic wedding in MX and legal thing in DC as soon as we get back.

Katie! welcome back!! your pic is gorgeous!! can't wiat to see more pics!!

Sammysgirl just curious are you doing a welcome bag. I can't decide but need to make a decision soon.

I did my junior year abroad in Scotland in Univ of St.Andrews and it was absolutely one of the best years of my life :-)

$200 for outside photog fee! wow my lord!!! thats a lot! I was gonna get outside make up ppl and hair ppl but now I wont! I already put the deposit for my photog! so ladies I had a wonderful weekend! I probably mentioned befroe i am not having a bridal shower mainly cos i have 10 close friends and I could never pick and choose and so I decided I didn't want a bridal shower either since the fact that all my gfs are flying to MX was gift enough. So this saturday I was pleasantly surprised and beyond happy. MY gfs threw me a surprised bridal shower that too a day with my 13 closest friends at the Elizabeth Arden Red door spa, I felt so special (ladies one of my fav things is spa but I am sure everybody loves its) and then they took me to dinner at maggiaons (my fav italian place) and then to top it off they booked few rooms at the ritz carlton so all of us spend the night there and went for sunday brunch followed by another massage! I was like in cloud 9!!! anyways I thought i share since I had such a great weekend!!! sammysgirl abt the weight loss I will def measure myself i haven't done that before. but after the feast this weekend I am scared to measure myself!

If so, can I have their contact info/website? I have heard of Katia Monforte and read good reviews in here. I think she is Ilka Monforte's sister. I think quite a few brides may have used Katia just do a search. Samira

by the way do any of you know how much it is to bring an outside vendor to the hotel? is it like $80 (i think thats the charge for the guest pass) I assume it would be the same. But just wanted to check as I will have an outside photographer.

If I begged I could probably get my parents to go for both. Maybe I will pay for one and they can pay for the other I can't decide if I think it is worth the money or if I'd rather keep the money and do some fun excursions. I am def. doing atleast one of the music options though.... I have my first bridal shower and my bachelorette party tomorrow! Sammysgirl if you have to choose btw both I would go with mariachi band for the cocktail hr! Even though I have decided to do both the harp and mariachi , Ladytrunk has a good point we will be paying for their time but they will just be standing during the actual ceremony. so now i am re thinking. let us know how your bridal shower and bachelorette party goes! I had hoped to lose 15 lbs before the wedding, no loss so far :-( I have been working out a lot my clothes feel better but i dont see the numbers dropping. Samira

I am in the same boat as you guys. I am a 38D and hate strapless bras. I am debating between getting cups sewn in or the davids bridal item. I am thinking I will just buy the davids bridal itemj just to take to my dress fitting april 3rd. But the more I think abt my june wedding and the heat, I think I will be really uncomfortable in it.

Ladytrunk love your wedding band and your shoes too!! The shoes are so much fun and they will photograph really well!!

Nicyx - looked at your website today! looks great !!! I was gonna ask you to add the passport info but looks like you already may have done so by now. Ladytrunck - do you have pics of your shoes, where did you get them from? We got our wedding bands today. I love mine I got two really thin paved chain diamonds below is a link. I wanted one to go on each side. My Fiance got a 4mm very simple wedding band and I am getting it engraved. http://www.bluenile.com/diamond-eternity-ring_5765 okay thats it for tonight. have a good night ladies.
