If you facebook friend me, you can see the video. I tried to upload on you tube, but the songs were copyrighted. Just put in the message that you want to see my wedding video, so I know it's not spam. His email address is [email protected] I LOVE the videos!! He also spent time detailing each of the CDs (the pics on the CDs and the covers) as well as putting in the songs we wanted in the video. Seriously, he was a perfect 10! My facebook name is "Jennifer White Smart" from Seattle Hi Jennifer I just sent you a friend request. The resort told me they use Miguel Nunez from oscar video. Is this the same person? Here is a website for those who want to see other videos from Oscar Video Oscarvideo | Video - Fotografia - Cancun - Riviera Maya

The way I see it, a "symbolic" ceremony is just that -- a symbol of your love for and commitment to each other. That was our wedding day, for sure -- the day we stood up in front of our family and friends and pledged our lives to each other. If we hadn't considered it our "real" wedding, than why would we have put so much effort and thought into planning it? There will always be people that complain, no matter what you decide. I'm so glad we decided to do the legal paperwork in Canada. It really reduced the stress and hassle, and it in no way took away from our special day in Mexico. I agree with everything you said but so far we have decided to not tell the guest and keep it personal cause I don't want to be upset by any comments anyone has on the issue. Our real wedding is the mexico wedding the other stuff is just legal but not everyone sees it that way. Lolita Not sure if the big tax return would apply to canadians getting married in the previous year but i would do it if it did lol cause we could use all the help we can get!!!

Sooo doing the TTD! Gifts for guests: Maracas, starfish winestoppers, raffia fans and organza rose petal bags. not sure about the OOT bags yet, starting to get really pricey! That's it for now.

amols does ship to canada but for 13 pair it's 1877 shipping and about 22$ for brokerage, taxes and duties so 26 for the maracas and 40 for the cost to get it here. Boooo!!!

Congrats and welcome to your new addiction!!! lol I am getting married at Now Jade Riviera Resort and Spa and they have private reception dinners.

Just wanted to say hi to all the toronto bride to be's and newleyweds. I am loving this site. Sooo helpful!!

Don't fret you still have lots of time and once you actually get on the phone with one of them and go line by line then you will see the costs disappear!!! om not disappear but decrease lol

What are family and friends for? To bring our extra stuff lol Good thing for me is most have to travel to fly out location so i will see them before the airport!!!

I guess this thread is probably no longer running but does anyone know where there is a new one going as i have some questions about this topic? Thanks

Great job on planning btw! I would love to know more about the sand ceremony frame. Where was it purchased and how does it work? Thanks

Hello Ladies I am an April 2011 Bride at the Now Jade Riviera. Can't wait to start sharing and chatting with you! It seems so close when it comes to planning but so far away!! The ladies on this site are brilliant and there are tons of fantastic ideas. It has been a godsend for me personally.

April 2011 Brides!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Calling all April 2011 Brides... I'm getting married at the Now Jade Riviera Resort & Spa Resort in Riviera Maya. I just wanted to bond with the other brides who are sharing the same timeline and sea/landscapes as me. Let's all share our experiences and questions here ) I've just started planning but so far have accomplished quite a bit but would love to talk and share ideas with others. Can't wait to start chatting with all April 2011 Brides!!!! Soooo exciting lol

The only thing that I thought was ridiculous was that she told me even though we are bringing our own flowers, they will not discount the price of the flowers out of the package!! Isn't it amazing the inconsistent information that we are given from the same resort. I am going to have to speak with Sandra again cause i was told no. Hopefully I get the answer you got cause it will be alot cheaper!!! Do you know if they accept shipments ahead of time for other stuff like fans or maracas and store them for you? Might be risky to do that but just curious. Thanks

There is a seller on ebay that will ship to canada. Shop eBay Canada Store - seashells:: Craft Shells, Shellcraft This was her response to my questions. Call ups to ask about brokerage fees, duties and taxes though before ordering cause i think they ship UPS and there will be charges. i haven't called yet Hello, thanks for your interest. Our best price for 40 of the 4-6" Starfish is US$ 58.33 plus shipping. We do not have a public store and pick-up is not possible, all of our items have to be shipped. We do not charge taxes on international shipments, you will have to settle your local taxes separately when the items arrive. The amount depends on your location and customs rules. If we ship items to Florida, we charge 7% sales tax. The shipping charge to Canada for this order would be US$ 18.77 First Class (2-3 weeks transit time) or US$ 28.25 Priority (6-10 days). If we ship them to a Florida Address, the Shipping charge will be US$ 10.65. The Starfish are perfect for your project. Enjoy Stefan Florida Shells and Gifts - anyname99

I think what you are doing is great!! keep up the fantastic work! I just wish i know how to get out of newbie status to member so I can download some templates lol Good luck with the transition and all the best Thanks Lisa
