Tammy, First and foremost thank you for your compliments on the thread, it is much appreciated. We have shared much on the MP12 forum, so you know that when I speak, share etc.. I do it from the heart as I truly don't believe in any other way. As you have shared, I feel the need to do the same because after all that is what this site was formed on In all honesty, while reading I had to do a double take and read it several times. Why you ask, well I just couldn't fathom that anyone would/could be jealous of another on this site, as we all found the site in search of "what would help us to plan our own wedding and thus have landed on BDW. Many of us (myself included) had no knowledge of all the DIY things that could be done with such ease or those that would require us to do several re-do's (and you know I had a few of those) and seek out templates etc. Templates, textures of paper and pictures have sparked many creative ideas, thoughts and paths to future business for all of us is some way or another. In speaking for myself, I would see something that I liked or maybe not but thought.. "this is US somewhat, but how can I make it US" and that is all that I set out to do regardless of the forum(s) used. I was on a quest to get it right for the future Mr. and Mrs. Wright ;-) Tammy, I thank you for your honesty and willingness to post this, to not only help other brides-to-be but to also help another that maybe struggling with this feeling in her quest to DIY, create and enjoy her wedding day. As such, I know that this in some fashion has brought a sense of closure and peace to your very own feelings because Love does just that! Religious or not, we can all draw something from this to use not only in our wedding planning process, but in life! "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves." 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 With this my friend, I say WELL DONE to a beautiful planning process that lead up to a MAGNIFICENT wedding day that was ALL about you and your husband. Because in the end, after BDW, after the DIY's, after the planning threads and final reviews will be the life that you lead with your Mr. ENJOY it to the fullest!! Lots of LOVE and coco

Hey Soon2bMrsT, Thanks so much, I'm just paying it forward as this site has been an amazing help to me. We are going to shut it down in a good way ;-) How exciting and congrats, your day is fast approaching as well. We leave MP on Wednesday the 25th, so we will be plan to be at Wet N' Wild on the 24th as this will probably be our only excursion day. What time do you arrive?

Thanks for the bday wishes Speckles, I went to work and had a fab day!! This time next week will be my last day at work until May 7th YAY!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Shan, These turned out great.. I so started smiling when you said "my free counselor" These are too cute. It's only bee 5000 years but I am glad that things are finally start to come toether for you my love.

HI Irongirl, I have been approved for an outside DJ and I am using DJ Mannia. I had my contract in Early 2011 when they first opened up MP weddings for that year. And policy arounding outside vendors have changed greatly since. I have to pay the day pass, per person.

Thanks SunsetLove

If they are, the single ladies will have them involved! Haha...

OMG how cool is that. Happy early Birthday Shan!! Aries Rule......

TeeHee....No she's a good friend whom my BFF that passed & I met in 2006 on our bday trip to PR. She actually thought she told me but totally forget in the midst of some personal things that she was going through So I totally understand. But I sure wish MP had more benefits after 75+ room nights.. it feels like I'm just giving them more business for no good.. LOL TeeHee..... No we don't go out like that and have always been invited, welcomed and asked to come back to wherever we go. But you hear so much talk about Sunrise (what I initially asked for) but at that time didn't know that Ocean Fronts and Concierge's were pretty much here. So since the majority of our guest have these room categories they put the other 9 rooms on this side as well.. which is great as we don't want to be spread out.

Hi Matt! Haha I was able to see all of her lovely pictures from Del Sol (wedding & TTD) on her Facebook page. Amazing!!!! As Always. Oh wow, did I hear you say that because my birthday is tomorrow and our wedding in on the 21st that you were going to do our pictures as a gift... okay okay..... but a girl can only try right? Awesome job as always.

Great Great review! Your turnaround time is most Impressive and highly appreciated for those of us that are soon to head out for Mexico. THANK YOU, MUCHAS GRACIAS!

These are too cute girly!!! I see you Jamie print print print... LOL Oh how I miss my morning romance with Mr. Canon... things haven't been the same since I don't need him like I use too... TeeHee I'm cracking myself up...

Haha.. The Nizuc section will be the new Sunrise after we are done.. LOL

UPDATE!!!!!!! this is the biggest update yet. Haha.... can you ladies believe that I had 2 people book just last week? OMG.. funny thing is they saw my facebook message (I had talked about the countdown and tagged EACH of our guests that is on facebook). She called me and wondered why she wasn't tagged.. and from there I learned that she had booked but forgot to tell me since she didn't use my travel agent. Thank God for packing extras.. but the only thing they will not have are the escort cards since I had those made from an etsy vendor (they should be here this week so I will take a picture and post).. 66 guest + Bride & Groom.. We are going to shut Moon Palace Down.... Party!!!

Venus thanks so much girly...... I am so glad that you ladies are enjoying it. I tried all the time to remember to take before and after pictures so that I can put it in my planning thread. I know that my flashdrive is thinking I have OCD LOL I have my notepad and pin so that I can right things downs for the final reveiw LOL and I'll take many pictures with my iPhone so that I won't forget to mention something ;-) I'm too excited.....packing for me and lil man this weekend I think I'll treat myself to some new shoes that I'll wear when I come back home LOL

Dominiqueamber, Get outta here... OMG I am so humbled and honored espeically because there are some FLY planning threads that I have come across on this site. Thank you so very much for taking the time to tell me your thoughts.. and for noticing the effort (Whew chile LOL)... Thank you, thank you... I tell you this, if it wasn't for the fact that we had brought our 1st home together, got a dog etc... I totally would have done much more. But then FI kept telling me "We are doing a destination wedding for a reason" haha.... my response (to myself of course) was oh now you want to participate

Yup Yup....I'm an Aries so I trust until you give me a reason not to..then it's a WRAP but FI is good and typically work best under pressure. We have both been shopping over the last year picking up things on sale. So anything he packs mostly will be new and have been coco approved so he's just physically packing. I have the important stuff (pass and wedding day attire including bands)....

R~ You have me over here cracking up! FI only lifted a finger to take all the bags downstairs, I dare not pack Sh*t else. Not that I wouldn't... (clearing my throat) LOL but after 6 bags for wedding & TTD I'm all about well ME...... I'll help out though as I wash weekly LOL

April 21, 2012 leaving April 16th Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort Cancun, Mexico

You don't have to but Katie is so nice to work with and very good. whatever you get is billed to your room.

Oh yes, he will be packing his own bag except for his wedding day attire which is in my closet and his passport which is in my carry-on. Otherwise, he's good. So if he has to buy something because "he forgot" then oh well... LOL

Love Love Love his proposal! OMG how wonderful.. I can't wait to read the rest of your planning thread. See you shortly

I haven't read of anyone on here renting them but Katie is so quick and nice and to work with.. so definitley reach out to her. TeeHee I 'm too too too damn excited. And more so because my braces come off tomorrow.... AlmostMrsRJF.....haha you go girl, I see you have the hang of the MultiQuote. Anyway, you have 3 emails go check them out...

I love love love Etsy... and have purchased quite a few items from there. But for sake of hogging the thread, you can find the items that I purchased along with the vendor name. This can be found on page 1 & 2 of my planning thread at : http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/78847/coconoirs-planning-thread-picture-heavy Hope this helps and happy planning
