Nicole I've looked at scripts too, but was told pretty quickly that they will not say anything that isn't in their script -- including the sand ceremony. Have you thought of going somewhere local to get your makeup done and have one of your bridesmaids go with? I'm lucky that my sister-in-law is a beautician, so she'll be doing my hair. I'll either have her or one of my other bridesmaids go with me to a makeup trial and help me on my wedding day. ..and I can't wait to read your planning thread )

Looks like a Canada only thing...but I'm going to look into programs in my area!

What was your boot camp? Was it a group thing that you did?

I don't think it would be too much for them to all have their own colors, but that is completely up to you. I have found several sand ceremony sets online, but I haven't really decided what I want yet. You can buy vases on your own to make up a set for cheaper, but I really want ours to be personalized and to be a matching set. If you go to "froogle.com" and search "Sand Ceremony Set" you will find a lot and be able to compare prices. I REALLY like the idea of the picture frame one! I have found it as low as $40 on ebay. Most sets are over $40 from what I've seen.

Thanks! Good idea with the tissue paper, I would have never thought of it! Where did you get your sand ceremony vases?

Teira, I love it!! Very similar to my inspiration!

I love this idea...thank you... Weight Now -- 130 Target Weight -- 120 Wedding Date -- June 25, 2011 Evil Foods -- Anything Sweet!! and Mayo..seriously, I can't give it up.. Problem - Motivation! I am really struggling with getting motivated, and have always had that problem. I know I need to get fit and tone my body, but I have been so tired from work and being so busy that I just don't go to the gym. I'd always rather relax so I don't completely drain myself! I also think I have told myself that my wedding is so far away that I can just 'wait' until it gets closer. Plus, because I am not big to begin with, it becomes discouraging because it takes awhile for me to see results. What I am doing now -- I cut out bad carbs, I don't eat potatoes or white bread. I also do not eating red meat. I do eat wheat rice and the occasional whole wheat sandwich thins. I have been replacing dessert with yogurt at night to curb my sweet tooth. I do think these things are already helping. What I am going to do this week -- GO TO THE GYM!!! No matter what it takes, I will go this week. My FI and I have a membership to the same place, but he is never the one to say "let's go!" So it's easy for me to stay home. I am going to make it a point for us to motivate each other.

Nicole -- aaahh!!!! I'm so excited for you! I wish mine was that close! ) Stupid teacher's schedule...always a summer wedding! Alisa -- I know there are threads on here that offer wedding scripts!! and some of them are really great! I'm sure you could ask Yasmin or the wedding coordinator about getting a copy of the one they use though?

I really want to do a sand ceremony too! I'm just debating because I would want to keep it the way we made it at the ceremony, and I'm worried about what a plane ride would do to it. Some people do buy vases with corks. Yesenia said that if you want to do one you will need to provide a script (and possibly someone to read it..in case the Justice won't) and you do need to provide all of your own supplies.

Thank you so much! The back now looks like the first picture on the left...no like the right anymore! thank goodness!!!

Alisa Any questions I had in the beginning I asked Yesenia. She was really great in responding to any questions I had. She was who I depended on for all of my answers because I hadn't yet found this fabulous site ) I think it is too early for us to really get much of a response from a WC. I don't really think you get much response until the date gets closer, which I why I just asked Yesenia everything. It really does feel so good to take the time to read through the whole thread! It took me a few days, but you really do learn a lot from it! I just sent you the spa/salon menu that you asked for, and I have a few other documents if you want them! What package did you choose?

Ok....premature freak out....I went in..and the panel was all wrong! She said she couldn't believe she didn't notice that the first time. She took it out, moved it, and everything was perfect!!! I can't believe such a little thing made such a big difference to me! Sorry if I worried you Lisa!! I guess this was just my worst nightmare and I thought it came true! All fixed! The front looked great from the beginning, just the back freaked me out!

Hey Ladies! Big favor to ask of you... Have any of you heard of a maggie bride receiving a dress that showed up the wrong size? I tried my dress on in a size 6 twice (two different stores) and they fit me perfect. The store I ordered it from said why order up a size when the 6 fit me perfect, so I did...and now its here and it doesn't fit!!!! ( My body has shifted a bit I agree, but my weight is the same. So I don't think the change should be as drastic as it seems... The response from the shop? She could only explain it as the new dress has never been worn before, so its not 'stretched out'...and she also just thinks the solution is for me to lose weight. I am 5'4 and weight 129 lbs. I'd be willing to work to drop 5-10 lbs, but I think this dress makes me look like I gained 20lbs in 4 months, and I definitely didn't!!! Please let me know what you think....because I'm completely stressing out here (

I absolutely love this! I might steal it ) Are you having people write with a white pen?

Wow!!! That's great!!

Yeah I was curious about that too. I'm worried about waiting until I get there to book things because I'm afraid that if there are other brides that they will take places I may want. Is this possible?

I just started this program today!!

Thanks!! I'm sure I'll be choosing it too!

What side is the Coba on? Â Do any of you know if the horse and carriage can drop you off close to it? I heard that because of the position of one of the gazebos, they had to drop you off far away. My FI's only real request for the wedding was to see me arrive in the carriage, so it is important for us to pick the one that is 'carriage accessible' )

I love it! Looks very beautiful! So they have a tan runner you can choose instead!? That's great to know.

I am doing one per room (couple) and one per person for the singles. I honestly am only going to have 2-3 singles, so I'm not stressed about that.

On the paperwork I received, it says El Greco, Momo no hana, Ventanas or Mundaca. I was actually leaning towards Mundaca because I did hear they had a terrace we could request to be on. Plus I think the steakhouse would be a crowd favorite. I am having around 25 people and am qualifying for a free cocktail hour too, which I was thinking I would do at the Pandero Terrace. Â Thanks so much for the info on the complimentary wedding package. I actually switched from the Amber to the complimentary a month ago because I realized I was paying way too much just for a little "fluff" at the ceremony. Now we are going to choose a la carte the things we want, like the videographer, harpist and horse drawn carriage. We aren't paying for a DJ, we are going to the Disco afterwards as well. I hired Octavio Montes to be my photographer. He has done weddings at ASP before, so I am confident in his work. We can't wait to see yours!!! Â Any grounds pictures you have, I'm sure everyone would love to see!! It gets us excited for our trips ) Thanks again for your help!! Keep us posted on your pics! and congrats on the marriage!!

Steph..here we go! ) Â Where did you have your reception at? I am going to be having mine at a restaurant, is there one you would recommend? I want to try and have it as private as possible. Â Did you use a wedding package or did you choose a'la'cart? Anything you would definitely recommend having?? Â and I know everyone wants to see pics!!!!!!!!

Hey ladies!! I would love any info you can give..I'm not looking for major weight loss, but I added 2 inches to my waist and 1 inch to my hips since ordering my dress and now it doesn't fit ( I'm so down right now and could definitely use some support and tips! I am headed back to the gym regularly, but eating right is the HARDEST for both me and FI (who has gained at least 30-35lbs since we first met).

What does everyone suggest for good eating tips? I'm HORRIBLE at the good eating part!! Â My motivation? I added 2 inches to my waistline and 1 inch to my hips since ordering my wedding gown...it came it...and it doesn't fit!!! ( Â I'm looking into the jillian michaels now!
