Very cute!! I love the blue flowers, it's the same color of my bridesmaids dresses. Were these real flowers?

If you meet the requirements below, then you'll get unlimited functions. Otherwise, you have to pay for it. 5-9 rooms for 3 nights or 15 room nights = 1 cocktail (function areas are assigned upon availability with the onsite wedding planner and confirmed upon arrival) 10-19 rooms for 3 nights or 30 room nights = 2 nights comp + 1 cocktail (function areas area assigned upon availability with the onsite wedding planner and confirmed upon arrival) 20-24 rooms for 3 nights or 60 room nights = 4 comp nights + 1 private function 25 + rooms for 3 nights or 75 room nights = 7 comp nights + unlimited private function + one room upgrade for the bride and groom to the next available room category

Glad to hear that you're finally starting to feel better and also getting a bit of exercise

I agree with mpweddingplan. If you booked your date, technically you don't have to wait 3 months. They tell everyone the same thing and some brides have found that venue(s) of their choice has already been reserved. I would suggest you be persistent and tell them that you want to reserve your function location (s). They may say no at first, INSIST!! I have 7 months till my wedding and I have all of my locations reserved. Good Luck!!

Sorry to hear..... Hope you feel better soon and nip whatever it is in the bud. I'm sure you had a complete work up done but, did they check your gall bladder?

I'm surprised she didn't mention it. All of their locations are nice, however, the Caribbean Terrace is fabulous because it's a roof top location overlooking the ocean and you have your own private bar. You should look into it. Vgirl17 did a review and she has photos of the Caribbean Terrace. She did her reception there.

Gorgeous dress!! I love the neckline

I'm sorry if I offended you with my comment which was said with humor. I understand you're very much into the whole health thing and have strong opinions about it. I'm not caught up in the whole numbers game because i'm not thin, however, i'm a muscular, fit, curvy girl. I could never be 120 lbs. However, I do want to go down a few pounds. I was just trying to cheer on a BDW sister to keep her motivated.

sounds great!! I totally agree. Yes free is the way to go. same here.

Yes dancing is allowed on the Caribbean Terrace

Wow!! That's awesome. Whatever caused it.... who cares? you lost 4 pounds!! LOL

You're not doing the reception at the Moon Grand pool anymore?

I haven't decided on the rehearsal dinner location. I'm actually doing a welcome dinner instead. I don't think the restaurants will be able to accommodate my group. I may be having over 40 people and I think the limit is 30. However, if I get enough room nights booked.... I can get unlimited private functions, which means.... I can get my very own private welcome dinner!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed!! I see you booked the reception by the Moon Grand pool!! Great choice!!

Have you checked out the moon grand pool? I know some brides on this forum have had their cocktail hours etc.. at the moon grand pool. The pics look amazing and best of all...."there's no extra charge" like in the caribbean terrace. I LOVE the caribbean terrace so I don't mind paying the extra money because It'll be a private event. You'll have you're own bar and they close it off so you don't have random guest coming up. If you haven't already...Check out Vgirl's wedding review. She has a very detailed breakdown of her wedding. Good Luck!!

I have no complaints thus far. My TA is Renee Ortiz and she has been GREAT! She answers all of my emails quickly and I have her business and cell phone number, which makes contacting her very easy. I have bombarded her with tons of questions for my WC at MP and she has come through every time.

Awesome!! I wish I could live there permantely but due to my job, it's prohibited to live outside of NYC. ugghhh!! LOL Can't wait till I retire.

We are our worst critics!! I agree with TLGnhci.... We don't notice the changes because we're constantly looking at ourselves. It was very sweet of the FI to tell you he's noticed the change. Maintain your focus, push a little harder.... and you'll will get there!! Keep your eye on that prize

I'm getting married on Oct 8th!! My FI and I will fly in on Oct 4th. I went with the complimentary package and added on what I wanted. Even with all of the add ons, it was cheaper to go with the complimentary package. It's a total of $1400 in savings!! Most brides did the same. It definitely makes more sense.

You're getting married at MP in cancun?

How many days a week do you workout?

Glad you're seeing some changes!! Keep it up I know I can get there, it's just so much harder to lose the weight. When I was in my 20's, the weight would just melt off with minimal effort. I'm definitely working harder and eating better. I'm seeing the results, I just wish I could get there faster.

I know!! Great question!! Dieticians please do tell because I have the same question. fmichelle, You're 5'2 and weigh 120 and you're complaining?!?! LOL sheesh, I'm 5'2 and wished I weighed 120. I'm having a hard time getting to my 135 goal weight.

Hi Nikki, I live in West Nyack, NY which is in Rockland County. I have a beach house down the shore in Brick. I spend most of my time there from spring throughout the summer. I still often come down during the winter months just to hang out and get away. I'm not far from belmar. Congrats, welcome to the forum and happy planning!!

You're my wedding date twin!! congrats and happy planning!!

Agave sweetener is bad?!/! Sheesh... I don't know what to do... seems like everything is bad for you these days. They said splenda is very bad for you, so I discontinued it. Now I move on to Agave sweetener because it's natural and that's no good either. I heard Dr Oz say that Truvia is the best thing because it's all natural and comes from a plant, so I purchased it yesterday. I'm just waiting to hear that that's no good either!! LOL What to do????
