Hi Gemma & Cdunn514, I am getting married at Tulum in 9 weeks....Oh my god it has flown by, I remember comng on here when it was like 18 months to go!! Anyways I have lots of pricing on email so if you send me your email addresses I will forward you the info I have......if you have any questions fire away as over the last 18 months I have probably asked every question....lol Lisa

Welcom back Laurel....can't wait for your review!!!! So pleased everything went well for you Glad to hear that your dress fitted in the box because I have been worrying that minw won't & didn't even think about how I was getting it back home....lol

Wooooohooooo Nicy!! How exciting, really happy for you honey.......now get that box

Hey girls!!!! Sun is shining....woohoo....getting me all in the mood for some Mexican sunshine!! I swear I have SAD disease, am so miserable in the winter........bring on the summer!!!! Glad to hear your feeling a little better Michelle & that is great news about your flight!!!! Really excited for you, we are on a Thomson flight as well (24 hours after you!!!!...lol) 30 of us on same flight, they ain't gonna no whats hit them....hahahaha I had Harrison's last injection on Friday & they gave him his preschool booster while we were there....Richard the pansy wouldn't come in the nurses room with us but said he heard him screaming from the waiting room!!!! He was saying 'I hate this lady mummy'....how embarrassing!! I was trying to say 'she is a nice lady Harrison who doesn't want us to be poorly sick in Mexico so injections will help us' but he was having none of it!!....bless Lyndsey..OMG your eyes!!!! Like you say the thought of quasimodo sounds funny but I bet your were scared stiff while it was happening.....as my nan used to say 'glad the wind didn't change or you'd have stayed like that!!'....lol Any of the girls with little ones, did anyone get the phenergan medicine for the flight? I haven't yet but am gonna see if can pop to boots today & see what they say.

Oh my goodness Michelle, can't beleive how unwell you have been.......just what you don't need, anytime, let alone in run up to wedding. Hope you feel better very soon honey, big hugs xx

Aaah Michelle really feel for you honey....fingers crossed for you that you feel better over the weekend xx & how sweet of your BM, how thoughtful xx Good news Amurka on your photographer, a lot of the hotels are starting to go that way now. At ours you are only allowed to use the resort one....lucky for us they are really good. OMG girls I had my second wedding dream....it was the night before last!! I dreamt that I was at my final wedding dress fitting with my mum & they took me into the fitting room to put on my dress & it was OLIVE GREEN!!!!! I put it on & came out of the fitting room & my mum said whats up love? I said look at the colour & she said 'I did try to tell you love when you ordered it that you would prefer white but you were adamant you wanted green!!'.......hahahahaha.......In my dream I can remember questioning myself like 'did I want green??'......so I start twirling round in it thinking well I mustve wanted it for a reason but it was AWFUL....& my mum was sitting there with a big smile on her face like it was the best dress ever!!!!!.....hahahaha. How crazy!! Thankfully my dress IS white!!

Congrats to your friend on getting her Master's I would love her to take my photos but unfortunately we are seriously over budget....I am going for the basic package with resort photographer & then my non professional....lol....cousin is hopefully going to take as many as he can & see what we get!! Yes I think you are right 4 of us there at the same time....we should definitely all try to meet up at some point & say Hi!! Coming round so quickly now!!

Gemma OMG so soon till your wedding!!!! I can't believe Maria hasn't got back to you....Bridezilla needs to make an appearance I think.....4 weeks is no time & she should've given you all details by now. Jazmin on the Tulum side has emailed me 3 times this week to finalise details & we have 10 weeks to go....I would definitely email Paloma. I know all past brides say not to worry as they are fantastic when you are there but you need some reassurance before you arrive!! Good Luck Honey xx

Welcome to the site Amberjanet!! Loads of fantastic ideas on here!! I am getting married on 2nd June 2011 at the Tulum Gazebo, we arrive on 26th May so will be there for your wedding!! Might have to pop over & see you We are having our dinner at Le Gran Tortuga & then a poolside reception with DJ Bijan, we have 48 people in total coming with us....10 weeks on Thursday am so excited, just want to go now!!!! Anything I can help with pm me have loads of info

Oh Jo me three feel teary for you!!!! I only live an hour & half away from my mum & dad & cry everytime they or I go home!!!! Once your here I am sure you will be fine & like you say you can always to back, Mia will adjust, kids always do its us emotional adults that are the blubbering wrecks!xx No snow please....I hate the stuff....want to get in summery mode now!! Well girls great news on the teeth front, my teeth are now a whole 10 shades lighter than they were yesterday, am over the moon!! They are not perfect & you can still see a bit of the line so am going back in 3 weeks for another lot. The lady was lovely & said that she doesn't want any payment until we are both 100% happy with the result....I have to eat white foods for a couple of days....so mashed potatoe & wine it is.....lol!! Got some really cute bits for Harrison yesterday & was having a dilemma about what shoes to put him in for ceremony with his lineno trousers but found some really cute espradrilles he looks so cute...will get round to posting pics!! We are using our resort photographer, there work looks great so am really happy............OMG Nicy how many days now honey???? You must be really close as we are only 10 weeks almost!! :)

OMG Char poor you.......xxxxxxxxxx.......in between laughing my head off (sorry but you have written it so well it is like a comedy sketch!!...lol) I don't know how your didn't lose it when she said that about your daughter....what a rude horrid woman!! I have a MIL from hell that we no longer talk to thank god & she was exactly like that!! I can't believe all of it actually & now I bet you are paranoid about your hair!! Don't know how your going to do it chick but keep counting to 10 & stay in the bedroom as much as you can....lol....& keep plenty of wine in the house. Chin up honey & only 6 days left.....I can't wait for day 2!! xxxx Hope your back is better Michelle & your feeling better Nicy....I have had a cold all week & a couple of people have said to me that maybe its because I am getting worked up about the wedding.......I don't know......I suppose it is a lot to organise & we are all so close now. It isn't the wedding so much stressing me its the lack of money!!!! bloody stuff...I hate it!!..lol....Richards work is slowing down just at the wrong time & don't know where we are getting spending money from....oh well at least I have my dress!! Good luck with move Jo & like some of the girls have said remember your thermals....lol....it's freezing!! Love the bridesmaid dresses herbie, really nice My mum is paying for me to have my teeth laser whitened this weekend I am really excited......basically when my mum was pregnant with me she took a certain antibiotic that effected my teeth which means I have always had a line of brown staining going across them.....I used to get teased rotten when I was a kid...anyway all the teeth whitening treatments they have brought out over the years won't work as mine isn't surface staining it is from inside the tooth but my mum saw an advert which said we can now help with tetracycline (which is what mine is called) so gave them a ring & they are confident they can help. I am having done tomorow & will be soooooooooo happy if it works as other people who don't know me must think I just don't brush my teeth....urrgh!!.....fingers crossed!x

For some reason I can't open the Jpg Andree could you post just the picture please?

Yes it is for the whole day, lunch & dinner included & then you stay there at night & they have a big mexican fiesta show with traditional mayan dance.....supposed to be really good. It is probably the only excursion I will do so want to get all done in one day.....snorkelling, swimming with dolphins & the show....Richard is also going to swim with sharks there as well for an extra $53. Xcaret is the same kind of park as Xel-ha but they don't have the show in the evening so figured we may as well go to the one with the show. Feels so close now, I booked my nails & highlights for the day before we fly & we booked the minibus to take us to the airport....OMG feels really real now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Will keep fingers, toes & everything else crossed for you Roo, I expect it will really lift her spirits when she sees you & she probably is scared bless her xx I was wondering how much to take as well Michelle......have got to say funds are running really low at the minute.....having the boiler go at Christmas really wiped us out. My mum has been fantastic, she insisted on paying for my bridesmaids shoes on Saturday bless her. As its all inclusive I don't suppose we need much but I do want to do the swimming with dolphins with the kids.....looked up it up to do it at Xel ha, for the whole day for the 4 of us all swimming with dolphins & paying for lunch & dinner in there it worked out abut £400 for the day. Seems a lot of money for one day but it is probably one of the only excursions I will do, Richard wants to see some ruins but I'm not too bothered & the Akumal beach where you can swim with turtles is about 15 mins from our hotel, costs $3 to go there on the collectivo buses so that is a result. I think we will just have to see how much we have in the kitty when we go & what we've got we've got!!

Hi girls.....always so much to catch up on.... Roo am so sorry to hear about your mum, how frustrating for you as well, hopefully you will get the answers when you get there.....good luck chick, sending you lots of love xx Just think how great the day will be when you can tell your job so shove it up their a**!! On the hand luggage thing.....we are flying with Thomson & have a letter from First Choice saying 'In addition to the normal hand luggage of 5kg we allow wedding couples an additional 5kg for wedding attire, this needs to be placed in a suitable case/box complying with our size requirements' ......... I am taking this letter with me & will be whipping it out in my bridezilla moment....lol.....for all of you flying with Thomson I would presume this is the same for you girls. 9 Weeks Lyndsey....OMG....we are 12 weeks, so scary....am really excited but getting really nervous as well!! Are you girls taking dollars with you are pesos?

Hi there...congratulations on your very very near wedding!! OMG it is sooo close....I got my wedding dress box from http://www.lifememoriesbox.co.uk/contact-us-2-w.asp They have all the dimensions for each airline & can make you a box specific to who you are flying with so you can take as hand luggage. Really lovely box & they personalise it with your colours as well Good Luck!

Welcome to the the thread Andree lots of useful information on here I confirmed my wedding date before I booked the resort as wanted for definite the Gazebo location at 4pm. Once they had confirmed this was available I then booked & they then sent me out a form for me to put all our details on. When are you getting married?x

Thanks so much for looking for me Herbie......the trouble I am having is I have a 2 year old, 3 year old & 10 year old. What I may do is get the 10 year old from Marks & Spencers & look elsewhere for the little ones Samcalv I LOVE your dress!!!! & great taste its similar to mine , I have had the shoulder strap on mine altered so I can have it on or off, so am going to have it off to walk down the aisle with my hair down & then put the strap on & pull my hair up for the evening. http://www.maggiesottero.com/dress.aspx?keywordText=daphne&keywordType=any&page=0&pageSize=15&style=J1375 As you can see not 'beachy' at all but like Michelle said if its your 'one' doesn't matter. Will look out for shoes for you Michelle!x

Congratulations Char on booking your wedding date....its all coming together for you now!! That is a lot of money for the drapes & fairy lights but sound lovely, I agree with the girls give it a practise run & see how it turns out first if your not happy then go for it girl & as you said you are saving money elsewhere. Michelle & Nicy - u make me laugh 'signature geeks'....lol.....I hadn't even thought about mine & as soon as I read this post I picked up my pen & tried it out....hahahaha mine is going from Trevett to Adams, just looks so strange!! Amurka your invites are lovely, very pretty Am having a nightmare trying to find two little suits in a light brown/beige colour for my Harrison & my nephew. Need them in an age 3 & 2 if any of you have brought any or know of anywhere help would be much appreciated!! Ted Baker in Debenhams have done one for years but this year have decided to only do the navy blue one....just my luck!!

Thanks for the tip I will go & get them!! Yes Michelle did mine, really lovely & she is getting married as well isn't she at Cooling Castle. When she asked where we were getting married & I said Mexico she said 'oh thats popular our bride this morning is getting married there!!' & I was like yes I know her 'Maggie sottero Ambrosia!!, she was laughing....& she said yes thats it & she looked stunning in it!!!!....how lovely is that, bless her!!.....She asked how I knew you & I explained all about this site, she thought it was brilliant how we all chat on here. I was telling her how I couldn't cope without all the girls on here....also Gillian has just called me & changed me fitting to the 16th April, which gives me a couple more weeks.....best get this bum in gear again!!

Aaah Michelle your Harrison sounds so sweet....I think it is lovely he is giving you away, how proud are you going to be walking down the aisle with him!!!! Glad to hear your dress fitting went well mine did too & I still am so in love with my dress, needs taking in everywhere as well so was chuffed that the workout dvds must be working!!....my shoes were bloody killing me too after standing there for an hour!! (but again no pain no gain!!) just wanted to ask you Michelle at the alterations place they gave me my next fitting 2nd April which is 9 weeks before we go & they said after this fitting I wouldn't be able to lose anymore weight.....I did query it in the shop as in the last 9 weeks I will hope to lose a few pounds but they said they get really busy in May? Just wondered when your next fitting is?....my shoes were bloody killing me too....but again no pain no gain (I'll probably be in my flip flops by 7pm!!....lol) & same as you didn't take any photos as just didn't want to risk anyone seeing.... Welcome all newbies if haven't welcomed you before On the DJ thing we have hired a DJ to come in to our resort from Cancun.....DJ Bijan......he has been really great to work with, we have emailed him a list of songs we definitely want played & then he will play a mixture.

Christi that is so good how you have created the beach scene!! & agree with Baby shaws on the colour.....the darker is more flattering & definitely more striking in the photos. Gemma I did exactly what Christi has said, I have called them several times.....I know they probably think I am mad & a definite bridezilla & I know they are very busy but it is very frustrating when they don't reply. I would give them a call honey.

Good luck with dress fitting Michelle I am sure you will look GORGEOUS, your dress is amazing Mine is also today..............can't wait.....eeeeekkkkk!!!! so excited!!!! Just can't believe it is all coming round so quiick!!!! Must be something in the water this week with all of us eating for England....lol....can't believe have been so good since January & then the week before my dress fitting I eat everything!!!! Where is the Bridal Village? Thats excellent that you get free hair trials & make up....I am paying £50 per style for my hair trials!!!! But our friends daughter is a make up artist & coming to Mexico so that is a little bonus!!

LOL at Ross from friends.............I LOVE that episode.....lol!! I had a airbrush spray tan last year before we went to Rome, It did work lovely & I was tanned but we were only there 4 days & I only swam once in that time & it was almost gone by the time we got home. I think with all the swimming in the pools & sea it won't last any longer than 3 days maximum 4 xx

Welcome back Kiwimel, I am totally with Michelle....my dress isn't beachy either at all & I am in no doubt that I am going to boil in it but no pain no gain so they say....lol. If you love it & it makes you feel like a princess then it is the one regardless where in the world you are xx OMG Michelle what time is your fitting? mine is at 12 O'Clock?.....I am so panicking that it won't look like I remember it or I look really fat in it......I have lost some weight but still lots to go, I hear you on the sunbed, my legs are like corn beef at the minute!! I brought two new tankinis online & was so happy when they arrived because they are gorgeous....then I put them on.....OMG what a bloody sight!!....seriously need to starve for the next 14 weeks!!!!
