I say go for it, it's a great way to have some amazing pics that you aren't worried about exactly how your hair and make-up is and if something has smudged the dress. They are almost more care-free, and you can make them anything they want, they don't need to be super provocative and racy.

You look hot hun!! He's going to love them!

Congrats and welcome!!

That's awesome!! Good luck with the rest of your planning!

Ok, I'm needing some help on picking a location. The first place I looked at was Gran Porto Real for the wedding and have our honeymoon at the Royal. We are still planning on doing the honeymoon at the Royal, but I haven't been able to find any information on here from brides that had their wedding at the Gran. If anyone has had or been to a wedding at this resort and could provide some feedback I would really appreciate it. We're also looking at the Barcelo, and Dreams Tulum. Hopefully with some more information on the Gran, we can start narrowing down our pros and cons!!

Congrats and welcome!

Aeroo, I love your script! I see you got married at the Gran Porto, my FI and I are considering that as one of our options. I would really appreciate any advice you have with the resort and how everything went!!

I think that's a great idea. Your guests would probably appreciate some snacks for their long flights if the airline isn't providing any.

Congrats and welcome Tanya!!

That's adorable...it's nice to have everything caught on camera. Adam wanted his brother to come down for the day but I kept telling him no...whoops on my part!

I'm really sorry you're going through this, I haven't gotten that far yet but I'm already worrying about my family not coming. My dad has pretty much told everyone he refuses to go to Mexico, and my sister keeps trying to talk me out of it. Hopefully your guests will change their minds and remember how important it is that they are there for your big-day. If finances are their biggest complaint maybe check with some other accommodation options close to the resort still in an all-inclusive that may have a $$ appeal to them.

Congrats and welcome!

Welcome! You'll find some great information on here!

Well I think I will go ahead and give my engagement story. Our 3 year anniversary was on July 18th, and a few weeks before Adam asked me if I would like to go to hocking hills (a perfect place to get away for a weekend without going too far from home), of course I jumped on a weekend get away. He told my to find a cabin I wanted to stay in and he would set everything up from there. I spent a week finding the perfect romantic spot for us. We both have very busy schedules so to get an entire weekend together is very rare, even though we live together. The weekend was going to be perfect we were going to hike and enjoy the outdoors, and even made zip-line reservations!! (awesome I highly recommend doing this!) Saturday morning rolled around and we decided to hike around the area (this place has a lot of rock features and natural waterfalls). We hiked a good 5 hours before he popped the question. As we kept walking he kept saying how disappointed he was and how nothing was working out. Of course I'm like what do you mean it's beautiful out here. (I was starting to get suspicous because his complaints were that there had been no rain so there were no waterfalls and unfortunately a lot of children running around). So after we reached his ideal point for him to be crushed we hiked another 2 miles where we finally took a break on the side of some cliffs overlooking what would have been cedar falls but only a trickle of water was left. We climbed up some rocks and decided to take a break before heading back. There was no one else around at this point. Then as we are sitting there he starts to say...well you can't say that I never listen to you because I remember you once said how awesome it would be to be proposed to near a waterfall...as he pulled out the ring from his pocket. Now I didn't cry, the only thing I could do was smile and laugh, my cheeks actually started to hurt. I was still trying to comprehend that this was actually happening! After he asked me to marry him and spend the rest of my life with him, I managed a yes! He hadn't opened the ring box, in fact he told me to open it, and when I did i'm pretty sure my jaw dropped. I got to see what took him 3 months to design, the most perfect ring I could have ever imagined with vintage scroll and an asscher cut diamond. I was completely shocked, everything was absolutely perfect, I don't think I could have planned it better myself! At that point we were both ready to hike back to the car and head back to the cabin where a nice relaxing hot-tub and bottle of Moet awaited us. I asked him later if he had been nervous and his response was, "asking you was easy, asking your dad was a little bit more difficult".

We got engaged on our 3 year anniversary

I think they look awesome, definitely keep them!! Great work!
