I just wish they would go ahead and book! I want to add the number of people booked to my signature, but that would be super awkward... Bride + Groom + Bride's parents = 4

It has been a lot of tears... a lot of laying on the floor not knowing if I'll get up and definitely not wanting to get up. I cringe when I hear the words superman - banana! Tony Horton is really annoying, but for some reason makes us laugh... especially when you can tell the people in the studio are thinking the exact same thing! I just hope I can stick with it! I feel great, I have so much more energy... now if only I could stick to the diet plan...

Have a fabulous time Katie!!! Be the sexy vixen you know you can be!

Great Thread! I came to check out your sand ceremony frame and got drawn in by all of your other fabulous idea's! All the best to you! It looks like your wedding will be wonderful!

I've been inspired! Thanks to everyone who posted pics. It really helps with visualizing what can be done for a DW. I have idea's... I'm just concerned about logistics and getting everything to Mexico in one piece and trying to keep it as light as possible.

What makes me feel better is... I'm getting married in Mexico to my best friend and man I love more than anything in the world, with all of my friends and family and people who truly love me. She'll be at home in Canada in November, it'll be cold and hopefully really snowy. She will be all alone... I think I'm the winner here! LOL No matter what... if people do this kind of crap over text message or facebook... it's so immature and they really aren't even worth a second thought. It's so selfish! Marak... I love the trash comment! I needed that!

Nope... I wish I could erase those regrets... if only we could turn back time... Are you secretly wishing for a stripper at your bachelorette party?

Has anyone sent out official invitations yet? We did STD's in December. Our invitations will hopefully go out in April? Finger's crossed. I'm just getting a little nervous about not having many people booked yet. It's still 7 months away but I was hoping more people would have at least paid a deposit by now Am I crazy

We couldn't do adults only because of nieces and nephews and friends with kids. The AS seems to have a great kids program and adults only section. Best of both worlds!

Crista’s To Do's: 1. Work Out - Kicking asses and taking names! I've had a ton of compliments from people noticing I've lost weight and crazy visible body changes!! It's keeping me on top of my game! 2. Work on web site - In progress 3. Wait for invitations, patiently of course...Literally this is in my FI's hands right now and I'm not too pleased. (I got another "revised copy" today - How many more "revisions" could possibly be needed He's making this a little more difficult than it needs to be and dragging his feet. 4. Start finding stuff for OOT bags - Shopping trip starts on Thursday! Target here I come! 5. Start my shopping list for US shopping trip at the end of the month. In Progress Not my list from last week but done: Booked the Catamaran Excursion! Woo Hoo!! New to do's: 1. Work out - P90X & Gym 2. Work on website 3. Invitations... wait AGAIN... Patiently... 4. OOT Bags 5. Continue shopping list 6. Find TTD 7. Find Luggage Tags 8. SHOP TIL I DROP!!

That is crazy! I can't believe that far out that it's sold out. My wedding is two weeks after yours in the Mayan Riveria, also departing from Toronto. This makes me want to call all my guests now and tell them to get on it. I'm glad it worked out for you! It just goes to show... people need to book early.

My biggest stress in all of this has been getting people to book and the worry of people not booking. I wish I could just do it for them. It's hard because we're across the country from most of our friends and family. I think if we were seeing them all the time, it might be a littler easier and almost a reminder to them but we're not... hence the reason we chose a destination wedding.

Wow! This is an awesome list. When in doubt, in a panic or frustrated with my WC, I'll have to refer back to this. Thanks so much!

Please take a postcard to sign and return to the table when you are finished. Feel free to share your advice and wisdom on love and marriage, your predictions for the future, or tell us about a favorite memory from your time with us. Thank you. These are my inspiration pictures for this special project. Sorry if they are too small... it's my first time uploading pics on this site. Thanks for the pics! I was wondering how to do it without losing the actual postcard picture. I'll have to be on the lookout for the clear sheets.

This is such a great idea! Very unique and personable. I might have to borrow this idea.

I'm getting married November 10, 2010 at the Azul Sensatori in the Mayan Riveria. So happy to find other November brides
