Let me know if you find something / someone. I am also looking for hair and makeup in this area.

Dear Beloved Friends and Family, Please join us in celebrating our big day at the Aventura Cove and Spa, in Riviera Maya, Mexico on Friday, February 18th, 2011. We have reserved a block of rooms and have negotiated a group rate. The resort has provided us with a special website where our guests can book their stay. You can find this link on the “book your trip” page located on our website, Wedding Website - Daniel Drew & Sara Kadow - Welcome. For those attending our Mexican Ceremony, all of the information you could ever want to know about us and our wedding is available for you on the website. For those of you who will not be able to make it to our wedding in Mexico, we hope you can celebrate with us after our return. We will be hosting a lovely summer reception party back home in mid June, 2011. A formal invite will follow. You may RSVP on our website at your convenience. ________________________ Thats the letter I attached with my Save the Date, Boarding Pass Magnets. I should have pictures tomorrow.

All you girls live in NY! I am soo amazed with your photos, And then i look at the location and its NY! ...wish it was Chicago. Did you girls get Disks with your pics? I have found a new photographer but most don't want to include the disks. As a graphic design this is a deal breaker for me.

Your going with Del Sol too , arnt you? Thats how much mine is coming out to me as well. I booked Vincent. I can't wait to see your pics. I still have another year to wait. I am getting 4 hours of time for $2800. That includes 150plus photos of retouching I believe..Are you going with the TTD too? I kinda wanted to much I dont wanna push it with the future hubby. I am just glad he is willing to go with them at all. Maybe once we get down there he will want too.

I used weddingwindow.com it allows for a lot of customizations. I tried to use other sites but they were rather restricting. I was thinking of just doing it my self but I really didn't have the time to create the whole site my self.

Love the colors!

Finished the website Wedding Website - Daniel Drew & Sara Kadow - Welcome I will probably work on it till the day of the wedding and then some ,but I am pritty happy with it! STD's will be up tomorrow. Thanks so much to all the girls on here that gave me great idea's for my site. I couldn't have done it with out you guys.

I have decided I am doing the BD photos as well. He will love them. and I will love them. I also am using it as a good excuse to get in shape. I really need to anyways if I want to be in public wearing a swimsuit down in Mexico for the wedding. I figured if I put the cash down for the BD shoot...and book it a few months out if will force me to get in shape. Plus I have always wanted to do a suicidegirls photoshoot ,but i can't cause i'd loose my job if they ever got out.

I use to be a waitress for 8 years in high school and college. I would say you don't need to tip her. Basically you are paying for her services like any other client, and her tip is the Great Vacation she is getting. If its an all exclusive resort also, think about all the money for food and drinks you are saving her that she normally would be paying for at home during this time. If you really wanna do something to "Thank Her" I would consider buying her a small gift in Jamaica and presenting it to her. Maybe a bracelet or some local crafts.

Are you guys going to write your own vows?

thats so awsome! frame it for the parents....Congrats!

Welcome Nic! I actual found that this forum takes a way a little stress because I don't have to rethink things. However....I have found the cost of my wedding has sky rocketed because I fall in love with all the great ideas...Example: My photographer I hired down there, and Boarding Pass Save the Dates. Tell us about your wedding? Which side of the resort are you on? What package are you doing!?

Hey Eec, You live by me! I just bought a home in Jackson, outside of Mil. Anyways. I have been searching for a BD photographer. How was your exerpience with your photographer? Did she do retouching? Did you get a DVD of the digital files? I was thinking of making my own books, I just need someone to shoot it, make me look hot and hair and makeup. Did you do your own hair and makeup..lol Tell me everything! you can email me at [email protected] if you want! ... I wonder if i have ever met you ... lol crazy,

I actually felt better about the salon after seeing your hair lol I really liked it.

I really love this photographer in Chicago but they are like 1500 expensive Couture Boudoir by Photographer Critsey Rowe | New York | Chicago | San Francisco | Charlotte | Charleston | Paris | Atlanta | Miami

I am not sure if Moepeedy posts on here anymore, But does she (if she reads this) or anyone else know who her photographer is? I absolutly LOVE the style. I have been trying to find someone with a similar style but havnt been able to. I really like the darker, sexy photography. Lots of reds and black and shadows. I found a few people that do the couture look, but they are hella expensive. If anyone knows or has any sugestion let me know. I am from Mil. but can go where ever for a decent shoot. I was looking on line where leah Stafford is located. She said she could shoot here, but I would need to book a room to do the shot in. Flights to and from ohio where her studio is are $130 there and back...which would probably be cheaper then renting a room and hiring someone to do makeup and hair.

I so want your dress. Its amazing!

I went to try on dresses for the first time last Saturday...I thought I was going to feel all pritty and like a princess. But instead I felt over weight, with bad hair and ugly tattoos...Even tho I am not over weight and I love my tattoo's lol.. I think it was because I went to a specailty store where they have 1 dress in one size. Nothing was ment for my body.. When i left I was thinking that I finally understand why people get married in Jeans. I looked a lot better in the clothing I arrived in.

Congrats Twinkle! I am having my wedding on the Cove side (Due to Kids) with the amethyst package. Can’t wait wait wait to see photos! What day of the week was your wedding? Mine is on a Friday, maybe it wont be as busy. However mine wedding is in February also. So the traffic should probably be the same as it was for you. How was the occupancy at the hotel?

Mine better or the wont be my photographer lol...I have been looking into some around the Chicago area. I was thinking July would be a good time. The wedding isnt untill Feb anyways. I love all the photos I have seen on this site so far. I couldnt imagine a better wedding gift. Personal, From the heart! and ...it will be great for when I'm old and wrinkly lol. I didnt even know about BD before this site. this site has defently raised the bar for my wedding...I am sure the future hubby is happy too. He gets to pay for Del Sol photographer because of it.../giggles

I LOVE the story about how you guys met. Thats soo cute.

i really want to get a book made, but I am a tad out of shape. I am not over weight by any means but I do have a lot of cellulite to be honest on the legs...Did any of you guys do anything to really tighten up before your shoots? Any advice would be great. I tried on wedding dresses today and it was a rather humbing experience =( In the magizes they look like they all fits so easly!

However, my ring has a scrolling design on the side that I absolutely love, so I want the wedding band to have the same. [/img] My ring has a very nice profile as well. My jewler said some girls are now wearing there wedding bands on the right hand now. At first I thought this was kinda odd ,but after thinking about I really it would work with my ...Why not spread the love to both hands..Also I hear if the rings rub the wrong way they can wreck each other.
