Laura are you doing the buffet because you have (because of the number of guests you have) or because you thought it was a better option? I ask because I was leaning towards the idea of a buffet and just wasn't sure if you were allowed to have one if you had under 30 (or whatever the number was) people You leave in just about a week - how exciting! Can't wait to hear your review of the place & your big day when you come back!

Of course from hearing on hear that some girls are being told differently I'm going to try and get that in writing. (I'm also doing the ultimate pkg) Not sure why everybody seems to get different answers!

Welcome to the forum & congrats

Thanks I've read on here & my TA said that you can change your wedding package

Looks great! And I couldn't even tell your orchids were fake in the picture! Are you worried at all about your vases breaking on the way down?

Naturally no one at the resort has gotten back to my TA and I yet... If your confirmations say complimentary golf on them, I would assume that they would have to honor that? And if they tried not to, I would make a fuss about it

Welcome Kristy!! Best of luck on your planning

Hello & Welcome to the forum!

My ceremony is at 4:00 on November 15th.. I'm a little worried about the sunset since I think it's around 5. But I just figured I would have pictures taken beforehand possibly? I'm not sure!

She has sent Ana a few more e-mails regarding the deposit etc. since she does not want me or any of my guests booking rooms until the wedding date is confirmed in writing... she does not want to go through all the motions to find out that Ana has double booked or our date isn't actually going to work out. Just remember in the end you'll still be married to your FI and everything else won't matter.. it's easy to get caught up in this stressful planning! However that's easier said than done... I definitely feel mini pangs of stress every once in a while.. especially when I'm on here and see that Brides (who are getting married after me) have already planned way more and have booked way more than I have! Good luck Thanks Kym! I think I'm just stressed because lately I keep thinking.. for all of this money my FI and I could just elope and then spend a few weeks traveling around Europe. So it's just that I either want to do this wedding right.. or not have all this stress and have an AMAZING vacation! Surprisingly, the fiance is the one insisting we have a wedding.. because he says my mom would be upset otherwise. Haha! I'm also not having anything booked/ordered/etc until I have the contract in my hands.. although my TA says she has it.

Hi Ladies! Sorry I've been MIA lately - I've been ticked off at my TA so was just trying to take a break from all of the wedding planning! She still makes my head just want to explode, I feel like I'm hearing things here.. but she is saying the COMPLETE opposite. Like when I asked her about the fee for an outside photographer and she said that there wouldn't be one. But that's not what I'm seeing on here! Is anybody else having this problem? Or when I send her a list of questions and she just sends some little reply back.. I'm not writing out my questions just to practice my typing lady! Answer my questions! Ah! Sorry to vent! In regards to all the talk about deposits.. I still have not paid mine yet..

Does everyone have their dress for the most part? My MOH is making me feel like I'm behind I haven't even went dress shopping yet! My family is all in Orlando/Boston so I'm waiting until April or May for us all to get together and go dress shopping. Let us know how your dress shopping goes & how you liked the places you went! Oh - and I live in the south loop, right next to Soldier Field

Quote: Originally Posted by wisconsinbride2010 I emailed Ana on this because I wanted fake flowers to be on the back of our chairs.

I would ask her again and see what response she tells you. I hope that's not the case! Let us all know if you hear back from her. It seems like a lot of brides in Mexico in other threads on this forum had fake flowers on the beach - so I hope we're allowed!
