BEAUTIFUL!!! Great Job!!!

very cool wedding date!!!!

Hey! I ordered my organza sashes from weddinglinensdirect.com for 5.90 for a pack of ten! so cheap! you should def buy your own and not rent them from them! you can sell them when you return to any future brides! I dont think they will charge extra to set that up for you. And buying them vs renting them from the resort is definately saving me a ton of money! I paid 35 bucks for 60....had i rented them it wouldve been 180!!!! def a deal! Even at .89 cents each it's super cheap! go for it!

OMG RunningBride! You looked absolutely stunning!! WOW!!! I Cannot wait to see your professional pictures from Ivan! OMG We are planning on just using their sound system with our ipod too! Was the music loud enough?

Vanessa, it is def worth bringing someone if you are getting service for 3 days! Def can't beat that, specially if you love their work! When are you getting married?

Congrats RunningBride!!!! So glad everything was above and beyond what you expected! Cannot wait to see your pics!! we booked Ivan for our wedding and we just LOVE him! Sounds like you had an amazing time! yay!

Hi Claire! My planning is going great! so far! My WC is Katia Nunez. Who is yours? I definately did not consider Funever Photos at all, not only are they over priced but i also do not like their photography style! we just booked Ivan Luckie from Luckie Photography! He is Amazing! Check him under the Venders on this forum! His prices are extremely reasonable and his work is amazing! We are paying 2,200 for FULL DAY COVERAGE!! This includes all photos taken, edited on a DVD, a slide show online to share with your friends with the best photos.....as well as a second photographer.....he also has lower packages for less hours. Contact him! you wont regret it! Check out his work below! http://luckiephotography.com http://blog.luckiephotography.com PM me your email address if you'll like me to provide you with the price list and details. Also, let's keep in touch so that we can help each other with questions and planning! Check out his

Risa: I called and asked the same question! Private receptions do have open bar.....they will set up a bar area wherever your reception is taking place.....shoot that better include an open bar since its all inclusive! Def run in by your WC tho since everyone has a different answer! But i am sure it is open bar! and my wedding is June 21st and we havent even booked ours yet....I have a TA but we decided not to do room blocks and booking the package (flight/hotel) together is def cheaper than booking the rooms through the hotel and then buying a flight separate....so we will be booking our package in like 2 months....i know most of the people who are going will be booking theirs in like January.....when we went to Cancun this past June we booked our package via Expedia in January....after February the prices start rising an then by like march/april the hotel was all booked.....so dont worry! It might just be that they want to get a package deal.....most of the time booking separate does not equal to a cheaper trip, even if the hotel is giving you a group discount!

Super Cute!! are those your centerpieces on that table?? so cute!

I spoke to a priest here too......we signed up for the pre-cana classes two weeks from today!! at 160 bucks!! and i provided him with our baptism certificates.....he will then provide us with the letter for Cancun! I am also having the Royal Catholic Package! Pretty much sucks that you cant try all 3 options or taste the cake!!

was there a reason why you changed your ceremony time?

Full Day Coverage: 2,200 USD(unlimited time, unlimited photos!) 6 Hours: 1,700 USD (unlimited photos) 4 hours: 1,100 USD (unlimited photos) 300 USD per continuous hour......at least 2 hours are needed! TTD 780 USD on the beach 1,080 on Cenote 1480 for both beach and cenote TTD He will provide you with all of the pictures on a DVD high resolution.....with all the basic editing, contrast, color, sharpeness, etc...Black and white, sephia,,,....he's awesome!!!! Let me know if you have any other questions....if you want to provide me with your email address i can forward you his email with the prices.....there's more info on there that i didnt include above!

Hi Ladies! We have officially booked our Cancun wedding with Luckie Photography! Ivan has been such a pleasure to work with! He responds to emails in a timely maner, always answers all of my questions, and has a great price for the brides who are on a budget but still want to have amazing photo journalistic pictures! I fall inlove with his work everytime I see it! I know there have been a few past brides who have used him and have had nothing but great things to say about him. This is the link to his blog and website: http://blog.luckiephotography.com/ http://luckiephotography.com I am so relieved to have my photographer booked! This was the last big item on my checklist!! Now moving on to finish up my invites and the million little details! YAY!! Exactly 250 days to go!!!

Jes....glad you got your final bill!! it's a bummer that you can't use the ceremony script you provided them! is there any way that you can at least change some of the wording?? I hope you can have this resolved! How was your final bill, was it what you expected?

good Sunday ladies!! Just wanted everyone to know that Old Navy is having a clearance sale on their flip flops! Most colors are on sale! I was able to buy flip flops to match our colors for our beach reception for our guests to use....they were .88 cents each!!! I know that stores in RI and NYC have them on sale, so I am sure that all states have them on sale! Just thought I should share! XO

OMG we have the same date! Awesome! Congrats to you too!!
