Welcome back.....hard to be back to reality I'm sure! Sounds like you had a great time! Congrats!

Well here's our playlist.....we didn't even make it half way through in the end as things were behind for the reception, but in the end there was live music playing out in the courtyard by one of the bars, so when we were done at the restaurant we still had good music to listen to: Sweet Caroline- Neil Diamond (first dance) What a wonderful world- Louis Armstrong (mother/son, father daughter) Forever- Chris Brown (wedding party) Celebration- Kool & the Gang Brown Eye Girl-Van Morrison White Wedding - Billy Idol Nothing At All- Ronan Keating Build me up buttercup- Foudations Dancing Queen- Abba Hey Ya- Outkast Yeah- USher The way I are- timbaland Wonderful Tonight- Eric Clapton No One- Alicia Keys Thriller- MJ Sexy Back- Justin Timberlake Poker Face- Lady Gaga The Sweetest Escape- Gwen Stefani & Akon By Your Side- Sade Don't Stop Believing- Journey Shout- The Isley Brothers Sweet Home Alabama- Lynard Skynard I gotta Feeling- BEP Temperature- Sean Paul Gasolina- Daddy Yankee The Way you look tonight- Michael Buble It;'s not unusual- Tom Jones Gold Digger- Kanye West I've got friends in low place- Garth Brooks September- Earth, Wind, & Fire In my Life- Beatles Sea of Love- Robert Plant I like to move it- Reel to Real Empire State of Mind- Jay Z Like a Prayer-Madonna With or Without you- U2 Pour some sugar on me- def leppard Beautiful Girls- Sean Kingston World Hold On- Bob Sinclair Crazy in Love- Beyonce

The night of our wedding we had planned to go to the disco, but when we walked out of the French restaurant, we all headed towards the Sugar Reef Bar, b/c there was live music being played. We couldn't have asked for anything more really! I had heard that the disco wasn't the greatest, so I'm glad we didn't end up going!

This isn't the best, but it does show all of our hair and makeup, just not close up.

Leslie your bouquet was gorgeous!!! I don't have any pics back yet....I'll see if any of our guests has any. My two bridesmaids also had their hair and makeup done at the salon and love it! The only thing I recommend is bringing a picture if you have something specific in mind. The lady doing my hair didn't speak much english and didn't understand what I meant when I said I wanted a braid. We finally got it sorted but if I'd actually remembered the picture for her it would have made it much easier!

I booked it all myself to ensure that we all got in at the same time and at the time we wanted. When we met with Anabel she just took down the time we'd be at the spa in case she delivered the flowers to the spa instead of our room.

I didn't get a good look at the products, but the ladies at the spa seemed to know what they were doing. None of us gave them any vision about what we wanted, we just left it in their hands, and we were all very happy with what they did. If you want something specific I suggest bringing photos as they seem to be very happy to be given some direction!

back from Dreams Tulum.....and it was amazing! If anyone has any questions feel free to ask! My advice to you is not to stress too much, once you get down there things are pretty organized! We were rained on during the ceremony, and then again while we were taking pics......considering it could have been a disaster, it actually all went very smoothly! Good luck to future Feb 2011 brides!

HI Ladies, just wanted to send a quick note to you all....we're still here at Dreams, and it's been absolutely amazing. I will try to give more detail once we're home, but for all you getting frustrated or stressed (I know I was before we got here).....once we met with Annabel everything was very easy going. They don't try to pressure you to pay more than the 20 guests included in the packages for the cocktail hour or the cake.....and she did let us switch the boutonnieres for flower petals, which Aurora had said no switches were allowed. SO try not to stress....Annabel was a dream to work with!

Good Luck ladies! We're already on our last day in Mexico.....the wedding was amazing (even though it poured rain as we were doing photos after the ceremony, oh and during the ceremony)....it was still perfect!

Hey Ladies, we leave on Saturday morning for our wedding vacation at Dreams! I will be sure to report back to you all what happened. We've specified that we aren't paying any more per person for the cocktail hour....hopefully it works out that way!
