It definitely gave me confidence in the company and it couldn't have worked out any better! did you measure him or get him measured at a tailor? -
like sometimes going to the zoo?

Could not have been more perfect

thats sweet, i agree show us some pics!! -
I agree with lady d...this isn't a frat party it's your wedding you don't want a drunk, smelly frat guy to ruin any part of it, besides if he is a big partier what guarantees do you have that he will be the best photog for your most important memories? since he and your FI have a "frat boy" connection, he (photog) might feel like he doesnt need to be as professional and will be more free to act as a guest who happens to take pics!

Quote: Originally Posted by Minaface I just got married at Dreams last month and everything went very smoothly even though I didn't make any final decisions until a few days before the actual wedding. We made up our own playlist the night before we left for Cancun and we ended up having plenty of songs left over. Just be sure to have the important ones on a separate playlist (processional, march, recessional, first dance, etc) so it's easy for the technician to locate. For the reception, he just let the playlist go but you can request to change the order of the playlist. He was very good. The only difference I can see in having just the sound system vs a DJ is that you would need to find someone to MC the evening. You can also get a light up dance floor without a DJ, but it does cost extra. Though I didn't end up having my reception on the beach (due to weather), the sound system was definitely loud enough. Good luck! Let me know if you need anything else. congrats mrs.!! reveiw, review, we need a review

My question to you all is, do you think the hanging beads in the background of the picture (from the movie I love you Man) would work in the gazebo? Cecilia thought it would look good but I'm not sure how the wind would work with them. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mO-CYHhwah...s400/movie.JPG You can't see them great in the pic but in the movie they looked really pretty yeah the beads looked really pretty, but you'd have to find a way to secure them to the ground as well b/c they will fly around everywhere...the wind up there is no joke!

maybe he does want to ask in person, maybe there's something he's not telling you. whatever the situation DO NOT talk to the brothers GF about this. It's not up to you, if he ends up without a BM or someone other than his brother, that's his choice...don't meddle

Here were mine: Rooms--do we and/or the guests get upgraded because of the wedding? If guests are not staying at the resort, is there a fee for the day of the wedding (daypass)? Private Functions--how can we do a welcome dinner, rehersal dinner, farewell brunch? Do we reserve tables at a restaurant or do we pay per person for a private event? Photography--how long does it last, can we see examples of photogs work, how much is an extra hour? can we ask for specific shots (first kiss, ring exchange, etc)? When do we get the pics back? Music--what is included with the dj (dance floor, lighting)? is there music playing before ceremony (while guests are being seated)? do you provide a sound system for the ceremony (incase its hard to hear over the wind/waves)? Flowers--what is included in the package? when/how do i pick the bouquets? when are they delivered? can you design my bouquet from an inspiration pic? Ceremony--What is the wording? is it in spanish or english? can we change the wording or make our own? can people hear the ceremony at the location we choose (sound system)? is the location closed off or can other resort guests come and go as they please? how is the site decorated..flowers, flowy fabric, what type of chairs are used? Reception--What is on the menu? Can we change or modify items? Do we do a tasting? Can we choose the cake flavor, decoration, style? What locations are available for the reception? How is it decorated (flowers, lighting, table linens, centerpieces)? How many people per table/logistics? Where are the bathrooms? Is this a private area..wedding guests only? Beauty--What are the spa prices? Do we get a group/bridal discount? How far in advance to we schedule appointments? how many girls can you accomodate at a time? Wedding Package--can we exchange things (no video for extra photog time, etc)? do we get credit for things we dont use? can we bring outside vendors? is there a fee for this? RAIN PLAN--Make sure they SHOW you the different location options you can use if it rains. This was a deciding factor when we where choosing between 2 resorts!!! Hope this helps ladies

Just waiting on a few more addresses from the MIL-to-be so I can send out STDs. yay!! congrats our invitations came today!!!! :) my MOH is going to address them b/c she has great handwritting and has done some calligraphy. It feels real now

I also sent them an email asking if we brought some tulle and some fake flowers we could decorate a little ourselves but I didnt know if that was a no no. Thanks for taking the time to respond to my message! I emailed you the price lists that I have and saw your other posts...you can definately take any decorations you want. We are taking the gazebo stuff and silk flower petals for the walkway and the center pieces; anything to save money

I still have a few questions about the complimentary wedding they provide and am also trying to find a travel agent etc. that offer group discounts. I will be having approximately 20 people attending. Any information or advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time! congrats!! the complimentary package is very basic; it includes a champagne toast and cake and the "use" of the gazebo. no decorations are included in this. I have a list of of extras somewhere so if you give me your email i can send them to you...i think the prices are on there.

we want our AHR to be like an upscale get together but not anything like a wedding reception. no first dance or anything like that. we are having a slide show of the wedding but other than that just getting together with the friends we couldnt celebrate with in MX after dinner we are going out for drinks at a bar/lounge. however there are a lot of brides who go all out, first dance, cake cutting, even wearing the wedding dress! so it completely depends on what you feel comfortable with.
