Hi Ladies I am back as a Married woman and everything was amazing! Pilar did a fantastic job and was always there when I had a question or needed help with anything. What a beautiful resort! I will try and post a review on the weekend but it is true what all the brides say, it all works out once you get there so don't stress. I met up with Hanna the night she got there and attended her cocktail party before my romantic dinner on the beach our last night there. Here is a pic of us together. Doesn't she look stunning!

Hola Ladies We are back. Everything was amazing. What a week! Crazy busy but all worth it! I have been so busy since we got back and don't have my professional pics but will post some soon that guest have taken. We also have a highlight video but I need to figure out how to upload it lol Congrats to all the Married ladies. I can't believe it is all over. What a whirlwind! I also met Hanna and attended her cocktail hour and got a pic! She looked so beautiful! We stopped by before our romantic dinner on the beach the night before we left.

Hi Ladies I am back but have been crazy busy since we got back on saturday evening. It was amazing and Joanne's blue starfish looked great in the bouquet and is now home safe and sound and unharmed! I don't have my professional pics yet so I will post one that I took with my camera the day after the wedding but the bouquet is a bit of a mess and a little wilted lol I had forgotten to give my other starfish bouquet jewelery to the florist before she completed the bouquet so they are sticking out cause we couldn't get them in all the way but oh well. I am so happy I got to participate in this great tradition and I will send him on to the next bride no later than next monday which is a full month before she needs it. Thanks again Joanne!!

Francine have an amazing wedding day! Theresa, so glad to hear it was stress free and you are enjoying your honeymoon. Well ladies i finally got my dress tonight, the last possible night to get it before I leave. Got my hair done. Just need to do my nails and pack tomorrow and the limo picks us up at 3am for our 6am saturday flight. So I think this will be the last time I am on here as a single woman. Holy Crap, I am getting nervous lol Anyways, I will see you all on the other side also! thanks again for everything and being such a wonderful group of women! XOXOXOXO we will chat soon! All the best to those who have yet to leave!

Thanks for the reviews ladies. You all looked beautiful. This may be my last post as a single woman! See ya there Hanna. Don't stress about the weather, it will be beautiful I am sure. And if you are going to spend money on your wedding, the videographer and photographer is the place to do it as those will be tangible memories that you will look back on in the future when you get grey and old and start loosing your memory lol

Oh my god I am freaking out!!!! So I went at the beginning of April to get my dress taken in, I went last saturday to pick it up and they needed to take it in more, I went last night to pick it up and they took it in way too much, now they have to let it out and I need it by thursday and I have no time to pick it up so now it looks like I need to take a half day off work tomorrow to get this done ughhh oh and my TTD was also taken in way too much and when I went to pick it up also last night they had to fix it on the spot which they did so at least I have one dress! Why can things just not go smoothly!!!! Wow it's been a stressfull week. I hope things get better soon or I am going to stuff my face and gain back the 25pounds I lost lol

Hey Laura, welcome back, those are awesome pics. Too funny!!! haven't checked out the video yet but I am sure the room was beautiful!

I am not actually using the transfer for myself but for my grandmother and friend who arrive the day after i do.

There is a private transfer included, they pick you and your FI up at the airport and bring you back to the airport at the end, you just need to provide them with your flight number and arrival time. We are having our romantic dinner on the beach the last night we are there and the room upgrade is based on availability depending on what room category you booked, it's one level up so if you booked a tropical view you get ocean view on the regular side and if you booked ocean view preferred side then you would get ocean front. We have booked in our couples massage for the day after the wedding. hope that helps! Pilar asked me to send her an itinerary about two weeks before to have it all organized. With the dinner on the beach you have to select from a set menu in advance.

Jessica, so glad to hear you had an amazing time. Congrats on being a Mrs now! I have three more sleeps and we are off eeekkkk!!!! I hope I can read your review before I leave friday night!

Brandy, everything looks aming, love the decor and cake! Yummy!!!!! Now time to start on the baby making lol Erin, I totally feel the same way. I think I am forgetting something but really don't have anything left to do but put wrappers on my chocolate bars, all my beauty appointments this week, pick up my dresses and finish packing. char great pics, so glad to hear you had the best time of your life! I can't believe I leave in 5 days!

Erin I leave for the airport on friday night at like 3am for a 6:15am flight saturday. One week today and I will be in sunny mayan riviera mexico. YAY! I know Brandy I haven't been as active on here in the last little bit, I have read everything but with trying to get all the last minute things done I haven't had the time to post as much. I do love your pics though! Great choice on photographer!

Brandy, what amazing pictures you have, I think every single one turned out great thanks to you being so photogenic and beautiful. I love the long hair!!! Have a great time at the AHR and don't stress about the bags, no one will even know you were supposed to have a seal! Sherri, travel in style lady, we booked a limo too for 7people. Can't wait to go. Have an amazing time! We will miss you also. I will be gone before you get back so all the best and I know you will look stunning in your dress and all the other stuff won't matter. Big hugs!!!!! 7more days till I leave, eeekkkk Busy every night till i leave with the girly beautifying appointments lol I pick up my dress tomorrow so hopefully it fits properly now! Erin it's gonna be me and you girl till the end, oh and Tris too I think! I had a huge freak out today about Air Transat and posted a four post complaint on their facebook page. They are driving me nuts! Don't ever book with them, they make false advertisements, have bad customer service and give you the run around!!!! I am soooo mad right now. ughhh ok vent over.

Hey Joanne I am staying at the Now Jade Riviera Resort & Spa in the Mayan Riviera, Mexico. I can't belive i leave in 8 days either lol Get excited and nervous all at the same time!

Welcome back Teira! Love the hair! You look great! So cool that you got to meet Victoria! Tris, congrats and good luck with the move. 5 more works days!!!! YAY

Wow thanks lindzee,sounds like you had a blast! I was looking into exactly what you did in Santorini and I really want to do the volcano hot springs thing and we are staying just a short walk from oia so i will take your advice on that one for sure! I was thinking of doing the hop on hop off tour in athens since we are only there a short time and visiting the parthenon during that tour. In crete we have booked two days in chania(north west part of the island) and we are going to try and find another two days on the east part near agios nikolas or elounda or malia or hernosissos. Just have to pick one soon! We land in heraklion and then are driving west and stopping along the way in rethymno and a few other beaches but we are sticking mostly to the north part of the island. I would like to see the gorge that you are talking about though if we have time, samania or something like that. Also wanted to check out Loutro but don't think we will have the time. We we are in the east we are going to check our the palace of knossos (ancient minoan palace).

Awww Laura, welcome back, you look sooo happy. Congrats Mrs!

Lindzee we are going to crete first (4days), then santorini(3), then mykonos(3) and then ending in athens(2). I am so pumped for this trip! Any tour or excursions that you would recommend while there. We have a car rented for crete for 4 days and for 2 days while in mykonos.

I will be married in two weeks from tomorrow ladies and the little guy will be with me!!!

I'm too weeks tomorrow and getting a little freaked out lol I sent my entire ceremony including a sand ceremony that my cousin is going to perform and Pilar told me it is no problem. We have only told one of my aunts that we are legally getting married in Canada the day after we get back and pilar told me there will be a certificate to sign so it looks legit. Now if your guests know the rules that could be different. Being there 4 days before the ceremony, fingerprints, blood test etc... Congrats Erin. We are doing and feel the same way as you but chose to do it after we return because I wanted to feel like mexico was the real thing and i was scared that even though it is just legal paperwork there are certain vows that need to be said and I wanted it to be said for the first time in mexico in front of family and friends so we are having our legal on May 1st, we get back on apil 30th and we are just having a minister come to our house for like 10minutes and voila all done! I am not changing my name until I get back from our honeymoon in greece which we don't leave for unitl may 22nd and back on june 6th to save the hassle of passport stuff but I will be going by my new name hehe, no one needs to know!

Erin-so happy you got your shoes, FINALLY!!! Bailey if you wouldn't have told us we never would have known you were sick. Cause you looked stunning in your pics! They all turned out so beautiful and little man is just adorable, I want to pinch his little cheeks!!!!

Oh la la Brandy. Very sexy and beautiful pics! Congrats you looked AMAZING!

Welcome back Tenny, you looked stunning on your day! Way to go Theresa, you seem very organized. Good luck with everthing and I can't wait to hear about it all when you return. All those DIY projects are going to stun your guests! I finished my welcome book over the weekend, FI put together the LED throwies for the chinese lanterns and he finished up the ceremony fans which I thought was going to be impossible! I also started on my vows and did some more music selections. Not much left to do, I can't believe it!!! I am getting soooo excited. Can't wait to see more girls return soon though to hear all the wonderful stories! Nite.
