NEXT! You're bloody Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:foshizzl e:

Do they serve any drinks during the ride? And did you have a welcome reception right when you arrived the resort? Sorry if I'm asking too many questions Hi Bella, Ask any questions you need answers to... I would be so happy to help you... The airport ride can be just under 90 minutes if you go direct to the resort without other resort stops. My travel to the resort this time was direct so just under 90 minutes. Three years ago it took over two hours because we stopped for other resorts. The travel to the resort and drinks... Ok I am assuming beer Not all buses have beer on them... Ours did, however Sunwing travels didn't get beer, my brother traveled with Sunwing... However you can ask the bus driver if they have beer, if not there is a beer stand right next to the bus pick up station at $3.00 a beer. I did not have a reception the first night I arrived because I came in two days early. My group arrived on the Friday and I just reserved a large section in the lobby bar and we met for drinks before dinner and did the introdutions for those who didn't know each other and I gave out my OOT bags. Most everyone went to the buffet that night and we ended up back at the lobby bar for about a hour....Everyone was pretty tired... PM if you have anymore questions Sue

happY wedding day tesia... Hoping your wedding day is all you have dreamed of and more.

I do believe him that he is not talking to her anymore and he has tried to work out of another office as well as signing into his emails and giving me his Blackberry password to build trust. Thanks again for being so caring and understanding, it means so much to know you ladies are here! Nothing good comes easy sweetie... stay strong... We'll all be here to support you which ever way we can.... I am glad to hear your giving it your all...

love hamburger helper? (oh the shame that was dinner)

Lets' start with the Airline: We booked with Air Canada and are we ever glad we did. Air Canada has a huge bagage allowance. 2 pieces per passenger at 50lbs each.. We checked in at 208lbs 4 pieces and they didn't charge me extra. I did have other people bringing stuff for me aswell... Yeah I got carried away!!! Arrival into Cancun, the airport in very un organized and you feel like your going in the wrong direction when you arrive, because you are walking around the departure people to get to immigration. Immigration was a huge line up (100s of people) I was very nervous, to back up a little I had a fainting spill at the Toronto airport earlier in the day. I was ok, it was busy in Toronto aswell and I was lucky and someone caught me in time. Very nice people standing in the line, ended up on the same resort as us. Immigration line up went pretty fast and then off to luggage pick up and customs... I got searched.. My two bags with all my OOT bag stuff. They were really kind to me once the seen it was all wedding stuff.. Helped my OOt bags were right on top with our names and hotel name. The bus ride is long.. Whatever your on holidays!!!!! The hotel check in Super Fast... beautiful room and Champagne and fruit waiting for us. Also letter from the WC Jazmin, confirming our meeting time the following day. WC meeting (I had concerns due to lack of communication from her) It went amazing... She met us with open arms and hug and a kiss. Jazmin is very sweet. She had everything I ever sent her and she had the detailed list of how the day would go. Back-up plan if needed... I bought all my stuff for table decorations ect... She listen wrote notes on pictures i had bought for her. I felt so relaxed and confident my wedding was going to go off without a hitch. The hotel: I have been there before so i knew what to expect. It is very big and spacious.. Extremely clean Pools are one quiet by the Diamond Section, Large pool with swim up bar is very crazy and loud. You can sit further away and it is quieter. Staff - Bartenders, servers,maids front desk, hospitality totally awesome!!!! *** However*** if you are traveling with teenage girls*** please PM regarding the Animation Staff***** I don't feel comfortable posting the details online. However if you want details please pm me. Our group arrived two after we arrived: Flawless flight arrival (no line ups) again speedy check in. All of our group were in the same area in two villas. That worked out great. We were about a 10 minute walk away... Totally kool with that. lol Our wedding day: I had my gfriend help me get dress, hubby got dressed before me and left to meet our group in the front lobby for the trams to take them all to the wedding site. I ordered champagne the day before at hospitality (it was free) and it got delievered just after hubby left the room. Gfriend and I enjoyed a glass, giggled and got me dressed. Knock came on the door and I was off to my wedding site. Everything.. timed perfectly and the day couldn't have been more sunny. I walked to the alter with my hubby and it was amazing.... totally breath taking..** this is the point when you realize why you choose destination wedding... simply breath taking!!! We had a english speaking officiant. She read the standard vows and then she gave up the opportunity to read ours. I felt like we said vows twice, who cares? I was in paradise! Photographer: I am not a picture person so we went with the basic 10 pictures offered in the package we choose. He took 60 pictures and we bought them all on a cd. They were beauitful. Dinner was at the "Gran Tortoga", it was totally amazing.. My group filed into the restaurant and Jazmin held us back for a grand entrance. Everything looked amazing.. center pieces just like the photo I gave her. My cake didn't look like I had invisioned.. I totally could care less... Food and service was great. We were tucked in a corner and it was great for speeches. Our pool side reception: Beautifully decorated with chair bows from the wedding and lights that resort had hung up. I cheaped out on the DJ and opted to use my ipod and docking station. Well if music is important to you and your group. Get the DJ, the wind was strong and the show was very loud next door and you could barely hear our IPOD.. Totally my fault for being cheap... we made do!!!! In the end it was the dream I dreamed... The restaurants were totally awesome and service +10 We tried 6 of them names I don't remember all of them. You have questions about them PM me. Again friends thank you for all your support and creative ideas, you helped make my wedding day the beautiful memory that it is. Good luck and Best Wishes to each and everyone of you. SusieQ

Love... snow??

Quote: Originally Posted by Less is more SusieQ, Where did you order your bags from and how did you travel with all that stuff? They sound amazing and very interested in having a great bag (fyi i have an obsession for bags). This may also be a question for another thread but did you give your guest gifts at the reception? Rubber Bracelets - Silicone Wristbands - Custom - Personalized - Wholesale.... was the company I used for my bags and they were really good. Like I said the bags were cheap and my guests got their use out of them while on vacation. My husband and I used one each as well and it is very worn now after two weeks, however still together. I figured if they get the week out of them great. As for getting my stuff there, are you sitting down? I travel with Air Canada and we were allowed 2 checked bags each 50lbs per bag. So my husband and I checked 4 bags in at a total of 208lbs. They didn't charge me for the overage of 8 lbs. My brother inlaw carried a bag for me at 46lbs and my gfriend carried another at 27lbs and lol my son,mother inlaw,brother and stepdaugther all carried two bottles of champagne each in their luggage... Yeah it was a trek to get my stuff there, and oh I did get searched!!!!! The bags that had all my stuff in them was hauled aside and searched, there was a huge moment of panic when I thought I had lost all my OOT bags stuff. I explained it was for my wedding and they were amazing in helping my close the bags again and helping me get them off the table. I was carrying a wedding dress aswell as carting two suitcases over a 100lbs. Oh did I mention I had a carryon the weighed 24lbs....As I write this I am howling... what the hell was I thinking? I would not have had it any other way... My guests loved their bags.

Oh thats brutal.. I had a bad experience with a shop in Newmarket, when my friend and I walked in the shop the owner asked who was the bride and my friend explained it was me. She took one look at me and said i have nothing big enough for you to try on, I never order samples in your size because they look disgusting on the hangers. I am a plus size woman, a size 14. Let's just say that was a very hurtful day for me. Sorry to hear about your day though it does suck to be treated like crap.
