Thanks Ladies!! I love the pics. We had a really fun time!

Is Samantha responding to all of Rebeca's old e-mails? I have e-mailed twice and nobody has responded

Hi! I am getting married June 13th at Dreams Puerto Vallarta! There is not really any significance to the date. We just wanted to make sure that everybody was out of school, and we like the number 13.

My Engagement Photos!!! Just a couple of my favorites.

These are a couple of my favorites..

Yes. We are having a reception at Las Palamas Terrace(by the pool). Earlier in my planning Rebeca said that without the cocktail hour it would be $40pp for dinner. It is $55pp with the cocktail hour. We are having a "Welcome Bonfire" instead of a rehearsal dinner. It is much more reasonable option.

We went with the free package. I believe you have to book 7 nights or more in the junior suite. We are doing everything al a carte, because we are having about 40-50 people and it was much more reasonable to do it that way. We are bringing our own photog also, and we are also cutting out the cocktail hour to save some money.

So far in my wedding planning I have booked a resort, our trip, our photog. Sent out STD's in June. Got my dress!! Right now I am trying to start putting together my OOT bags. I am having a hard time trying to decide what to put in them. Still so much to do..:-) Also so far I have 6 people booked(including fiance and myself) How is everybody else coming along in planning?

Hi! We are close to date twins. I am getting married on Monday the 13th! How far are you in your planning?

   I can't believe I found my dress. I actually cried. Did not expect that. I cannot wait to wear it!  Â

I cannot believe I finally found my dress!! I actually cried. I didn't expect that. It is forever yours, and I Love her!!!!! Â

Hello! My date is June 13! It is confirmed, and I am having my reception at Las Plalmas  Somebody said that you can choose two different entrees. Can you mix and match the other courses as well?  I am flying my photog in as a guest, so luckily I will get to avoid the vendor fee.  Does anybody know how much the microphone is to rent during the ceremony?

Hello all! I was wanting to buy any extra of these books that anybody has to sell. I cannot seem to find them anywhere, and I am starting to put together my oot bags and wanted to put these in there. I need about 40... Thank You!!!

Welcome!!! It's so exciting to finally book a resort.. Congrats!!! Happy Planning!!

Hello!! Welcome to the forum!!!

But, every time I watch an episode of Say Yes to the Dress, I feel like I have missed out on one of the major parts of being a bride. I got my dress at Nordstrom (it was quite inexpensive) rather than at a bridal salon. What do you think ladies? Am I missing a quintessential part of being a bride, or am I just missing a huge price tag? JS Boutique Beaded Crisscross Matte Jersey Gown - View All - Nordstrom I think that is a very pretty dress. It looks prefect for the beach. I have not went dress shopping yet, but I know that I want something similar to the style that you went with.

So does anybody have their dress yet?

My save the dates are kinda informal.. so I wasnt sure if using Mr. and Mrs. Jack Smith was how I should address them. What did you guys do? Ps. Today is our one year mark!!! GO US! That is exciting!! Can't wait to see pics. I addressed my envelopes as informal names. I figured I wqould wait until the invites to be a little more formal. It is so exciting now that we are all getting under our one year mark! I can offically say under 12 months.. Yay!!!

Congrats and Welcome to the Forum!!! My fiance and I have been together for a little over 9 years, so I know what it feels like to wait forever..:-) Have fun planning!!

I have my STD's sent out and booked my photographer! Yay! I can't wait till next month so I could have an idea of package prices.

So does anybody know when air fare should be out for next June? I can't wait to find out package prices.

Yay! I got my Save the Dates in the mail. I ordered them from Shutterfly. I got a really good deal on them as well which is always good. My TA recomended we send them out now, so I will probably get them in the mail the first week of June. So excited!

Congrats and Welcome!! I am also a Dreams PV bride. There is a ton of info on the forum.. Happy Planning!!!

Hello all.. I am getting married June 13, 2011 at Dreams Puerto Vallarta.. So excited. It is going to be here before we know it. Has anybody sent out their STD's yet?
