  1. Hi everyone! I know that I haven't been on in forever, so first of all congrats to all the new PF brides! To everyone who is getting married there soon, you will have a great time! And to anyone who is still in the decision process: I have zero regrets about choosing PF. Our wedding anniversary is in two days, and still we talk about the food and still we feel that we made the best decision ever. I will be posting on our wedding blog more pictures about each day of our wedding long weekend at PF. I thought I'd share it with you ladies - more photos never hurt! My apologies though, we did have karaoke - we were the last couple to get it. It was a blast! There will be a post on the 14, 15, 16, 17 & 18 using images that hadn't been posted before on the blog -- http://magalieandtravis.wordpress.com/ Cheers!
  2. Ours will be in two days! No firm plans yet, but we will be celebrating in Istanbul. We are still on our honeymoon, but since it's such a long one it means no fancy dinners and no nice hotel rooms. Oh well!
  3. Willing to negotiate on the price - I really need to sell this!
  4. I didn't do the Mexican cookies (I thought about it), but they had them (for free) with the "Sunday" brunch (day after the wedding). They were OK. I only tried the traditional ones.
  5. Kelli, there wasn't a problem with everyone eating at the same time. I did find the meal was a little early for us, but we were able to push it back after talking to Lindsay. They are very flexible. I also found that some people showed up a little later than others, since it's buffet-style it doesn't matter if they aren't exactly on time!

  7. First of all, congrats to everyone who is booking! You will not regret it. The biggest stress was booking the rooms, but it was worth it. And although it's not an all-inclusive, it almost is so it works great.   Hi Sarah, there are two officiants associated with the resort. This is one of the planning step that you go through with Lindsay. Otherwise you can have a friend / relative / whoever you want do the ceremony. We used Lucie, one of the ones associated with the resort. She was lovely and speaks French, which was perfect for us. But because I wrote the entire ceremony, I did feel that it was a lot to pay to have someone just read it - having someone close to me do it would have been a better option (had I had a bigger group).  We did the Mexican BBQ for the rehearsal dinner. It's to die for. Just amazing! We added the churros as a desert afterward. We did the fajita dinner for the goodbye dinner. We had the margarita bar as a "welcome cocktail" thing and it was fun, it's completely different than their regular margaritas. Our wedding dinner was custom-designed by us. Everything we ate was amazing, from the regular menu too. Believe everything they say about the tacos for 2 - except that it's more for ! I wish I could eat that all the time  I know what you mean! And the resort really isn't far, you can hop on a local bus / taxi and get into town in like 5 minutes! It is so intimate and so worth it, you won't regret it! Â
  8. Vanessa, it's absolutely crazy! It's a full-time job, so I'm happy that I'm not working anymore. There's just so much to do, organize, plan - and we're selling pretty much everything we own so that's super time consuming on top of everything! It will all be worth it though. We leave in less than a month! I'm so excited
  9. Glad that we can help Jenny Lee! PF is just absolutely perfect and stunning, it was better than I could have ever imagined.
  10. Bizzyangel, I'm sending you a PM about the shipping.
  11. Hi! I will check online and let you know. I am in Canada though, so not sure if there would be any customs fee or not. Tomorrow is a holiday here, so I should have an estimated shipping cost by Tuesday. Thanks!
  12. Stationery items for sale. Selling all of the items together as a package deal. $10 for everything. Shipping will be calculated based on where it's being shipped to. - Cutterpede rotary paper trimmer: rotary blade and score blade - Fiskars carving knife - Corner hole punch, for round corners - Double-sided tape - Fiskars scissors - Air Mail stickers - "Hello" name tags Let me know if you have questions!
  13. They are cheaper because although they are diamonds, they aren't the real deal. A big difference too is that usually they are closer to having perfect clarity (no inclusions) because the process is so controlled...
  14. Wow, your ceremony site looked impeccable! Your whole setup was really beautiful. It looks like they reserved the whole beach and ocean for you, no bystanders in the photos! And I've never seen an officiant stand in front of the couple and so far away - it makes for really great and clean photos though, I really love the idea!
  15. Like you said, if they only know a few people who will be there and none of their family will be there, I doubt that a lot of thunder would be stolen from your special day. With that in mind though, it makes me cringe any time somebody thinks that it's a good idea to propose to someone at someone else's wedding - doesn't feel like proper etiquette. The suggestion of doing it the day after though is a good one!
  16. Ok, so it really doesn't look like the original photo but that also has to do with the way that the pictures were taken. The white balance setting on the two cameras is completely differently, so it makes it look like it's even more different. Regardless though, if you're not happy with it, let the seller know! I don't think that it's a bridezilla thing, a bouquet is really important!
  17. Karen, I've just seen your photos posted, they look amazing!!!
