I don't know why there was three "P"s with that....

PPPPsuelisa, you wedding looked amazing! Congrats.

Yay! Nathaniel, I can't wait to see more! You are so talented at what you do.

A-maz-ing. Simply, amazing. I know it's been almost two weeks since we've been back and I've failed to write anything on here....so for that, I suck. I promise to get my two cents in this weekend when I have a chance to catch up with everything. Yeah Nathaniel, how's about that teaser. (wink wink)

I'm finishing up packing and heading out tomorrow morning for Puerto Vallarta! Wish me luck and any last minute packing reminders are warmly welcomed!

Hula...Congrats! I cannot wait to see your pictures and I hope you had a blast.

Choeft, I've felt the same way for a while now. We leave Tuesday for PV and a big part of me is tired of looking at my wedding stuff that has been consuming my second bedroom for a year now. Like you, I just want to be on a beach with a yummy margarita in hand and a good book by my side. Awww yes, heaven. On the plus side, my last day of work before we leave is tomorrow!

Yay! So excited to meet you in person Nathaniel! See you in Caletas!

Yup! It was such a blast! We got hitched at the famous Little White Chapel with our good friend, sworn to secrecy, as our witness. The flights back home were not as wide open as we hoped (even at 5am!!) so I had to leave my brand new hubbie in Vegas while he waited for an open seat!! It was kind of a funny story and you know how the whole standby thing goes. I'm so excited Andi! I can't believe it came so quickly and it's becoming hard to stay focused at work.

Well this past weekend, I've been officially turned from a Ms. to a Mrs.! Whoop whoop! On another note, how did you previous brides go about the cleaning and pressing of your dress? I hate to sound naive but is this something you do before you leave or is there a reliable place down in Puerto Vallarta (or even better Nuevo Vallarta since that is where we will be staying) that will do this for you? I've heard that it is better to look outside of the resort to get this done since usually resorts will charge significantly more.

Moosie! Thank you so much for your in-depth review. Your dress was so beautiful and it looks like you guys had a blast!

moosiemoose1 - Thanks for the helpful tid-bits! I'm leaving for PV here in 24 days! I can not believe how fast time flys. I can't wait to see your pictures and read your review!

I e-mailed Kelley almost two weeks ago with a few pretty important questions and have not heard back yet. I'm a little nervous since I'm only a month and a half out but I know she is busy and I must be patient.

Congrats on your two year anniversary Andi! I hope you guys have a great time in Playa del Carmen. We are getting pretty close and that only makes me more and more excited! I wanted to attempt to put together a really simple wedding program so I have to make sure a let both Kelley and (I'm assuming) Brad know my plan. The planning is going really well. I almost feel like I'm forgetting some stuff because for the most part, I'm finished and I feel like I should be working on stuff up until the day we leave. I've kind of dropped the anal retentive, super Type A outlook on it and now I'm focusing on having fun while down there and the rest should fall into place (hopefully).

For you past Caletas brides, when did you actually sign the ceremonial certificate? Was it a part of the ceremony or was it afterwards like during cocktail hour/dinner?

Thanks for posting the pics! It makes me super excited....June 11th is right around the corner!! Anyone recommend anything I should be concentrating on since I'm only a couple months out? Don't want to space on something ya know?

These are just the most recent vows. They are kind of a "copy and paste" type. I think you can do what you what to do....

Wow, I'm getting closer....81 days!!

Thank you so much for sharing this! My wedding is in a few months and I've been hearing from my guests on how nervous they are getting regarding the violence down there. I've tried to tell them to research, research, research to prove that it is mainly at the border cities but this will be good to physically show them as well. Before you leave.docx

I ordered my Mexican market bags at Amols. They are cute, simple, not very expensive (but good quality) and I think people will keep using them after the wedding. I special ordered them in specific colors and I think they look great. http://www.amols.com/catalog/product/MX531

These are the exact key/tip holders I'm going to get. How awesome are these to hold everything and have the lanyard on them? Love it!

Thank you so much for sharing! Everything looked great!

Aaahhhhhh! I wish I could download these things....just means I will have to spend more time on here.

What a beautiful picture! I love it.

I just got my OOT bags in and they are not exactly what I was expecting but, I guess I have to pick my battles. Anyways, I am borrowing many ideas from ladies on here for what to put in my OOT bags and there are more than a few threads with different fun items to put in there. I'm trying to no go over the top with too much stuff but for the most part it will be things like lip balms, playing cards, snacks, welcome letter, "hangover kit/feel better kit" and for the kiddos we are including things for the pool/ocean like blow up water toys. Simple and sweet.
