I like the background in the first one, but the colors dont show up too well. maybe instead of the yellow letters you could do white and incorporate yellow another way? I like the second one because you can see every detail good job so far!!

congrats and welcome. do some searching through here and you'll find lots of info. make sure you post away so that you can open attachements and such!

peterpan: you'll definately be able to trade extra people for the cocktail hour, that's a resort thing in general. I'm sure the photog wont be an issue either bc from posts on here, that is ALWAYS exchanged for something. KB: There is an outside vendor fee of $100/vendor. This is not including the day pass of $92, but from posts on here, brides never get charged the day pass for their vendors. tisha: The very first and most important thing you need to do is secure the date and time with a deposit!! Communication is quicker if you call the WC directly, but be sure to get EVERYTHING in writing!! also since your date is this year, the WCs will be communicating much faster with you than with those with a date of 2011. you'll find lots of info on here and if you have any questions, ask away!!

i have to agree with NaM as well...it's all or nothing (when it comes to guests) . We are only having 3 kids as flower girls and that's it. We're not even inviting cousins who are under 18 just so that there is no confusion about it!!

congrats and welcome fellow dreams cancun bride!!

thank you soooo much ladies!! you really do make me feel better. jenne that part about the crapy little wedding was priceless krys i like that tree idea...very unique!! really thank you all for the kind words and hugs, i am so glad i found this site bc its great to be able to confide in all of you :)

thats too funny!!! lol

you know what....I JUST realized that youre posting about maggie sorrento, I read "maggie sottero"!!! lol not sure if you meant sottero but if not, then disregard my posts bc they wont help you, ooops lmao!!!

Ladies I'm about to rant for a bit, so hang in with me.... FI had been married before. Clearly it didn't work out, but it took me a LOOONG time to be ok with his past. I never thought I would date let alone marry someone who was married before. So his past is his past and it doesn't affect our relationship. but now that we're engaged, I feel like I'm second to his ex and it sucks!!! he doesnt make me feel that way, it's the situation. for example, I always wanted to do a framed pic that people could sign at our wedding and that's what he had last time. i wanted to give him a really nice watch for his present and thats what she did. even worse, he invited his parents friends (who live in england) and they arent coming bc they came for the last wedding and its too expensive! All those feelings and insecurities that I had at the beginning of our relationship about being "number two" are coming back i feel like it's "been there, done that" and our wedding is coming in second to what he did with her. I've been engaged before and he says there are things he wishes I hadn't done with the ex and I completely understand, but it's different for guys, you know? I know that he loves me more than anything and all that matters is that WE are together and getting married, but for the little girl inside me that had an idea of what this time in my life would be like, this sucks Thanks for listening!!!

did you do a store search on the maggie site? it will give you all of the stores in your area that carry maggie dresses, and the site will show you when/where they are having trunk shows around you. my dress is the Zuri, simple and elegant but still with some detail. I got it at a trunk show for like $800.

it really depends on the type of dress you want. if you want something big, with lots of detail it will be more. the fabric is also a big factor in cost. these are basic factors with any designer. on the other hand, the dress salon is also a factor. I found my maggie at three different places and it was different prices at each one. I ended up getting it during a trunk show for like $300 less than the original price, so that's another way to save money. you really just have to do some research about specific places in your area. your not talking several thousand dollars, but non of the styles I looked at where under $750 then you factor in tax and alterations. good luck!

you and DH have got to set her straight once and for all....I know the issues you've had with her involve her "just trying to help" but clearly you DONT want it. You just got married and already she's sticking her nose where it doesnt belong. moms are weird about their sons. maybe this is her way of holding on to him bc now you are OFICIALLY the one he turns to for everything and you are taking her place in his life. yeah it's small stuff that's happened and she's not being evil, but if YOU feel that it's interfering then now is the time to put your foot down firmly and clearly bc it will only get worse, and then you'll blow up at her and you and DH will end up arguing over her!! Be strong about this!!!

thats cute!! congrats

we're getting married at Dreams Cancun and if you book directly with the resort they give you the 10th room free, they also upgrade everyone in your party. the bride and groom automatically get upgraded regardless of how you book (I think this depends on which wedding package you chose). If you didn't book through the resort, your TA might be able to upgrade your guests, or you could try to organize this through your WC or the resort's reservations department.

I'm not sure why you ladies aren't getting the trades you have asked for. Maybe you have to spend a certain dollar amount on your wedding before they become more flexible I don't know just a guess. I think i read on here that you traded your photog for stuff, but we're using the resort photog so thats a no go for us. we have the ultimate package...what else have you been able to trade if you dont mind me asking? BTW ladies, I've noticed that since the new year Cecilia is very quick in responding to questions, so don't worry once your wedding gets closer the communication is great!

Congrats!!! We're getting married at Dreams Cancun so again a biased opinion, but the gazebo is AMAZING!!! I also liked the resort because it feels intimate and still offers great amenities and service. I will say that communication with the WCs is S L O W!!! but from the many reviews, their execution is fabulous. check out reviews of both on here and do some research, good luck!!!

we started with a local agent and switched to TA Jill from this site and she's amazing!! best decision I've made bc we are actually getting things done and she know a lot about our resort (I think she was married there) and she responds super quick. So I agree that you should go with a TA that does DW bc our first TA was planning a "vacation", but a DW is completely different!

well needless to say all of your hard work definately paid off!!!! they look so professional. I love the color combo and the design. really, great job
