Trust me the time will fly. I was 2 years now I am 1 yr and 3 months!! Yippeee kiyeah!!

I would ask the resort for a referal. That is really your best bet. Don't venture out on your own on that one.

Thanks!

Brandy- It's on the way! Yippeee. You will be counting the minutes all day today!

Mocha- cute dress!!

Brandy sorry about the dress Brandy! Something to look forward to tomorrow I guess!

Girls if you put your mind to it you will lose the weight! I have the same plan but I have 1 year and 3 months to do it!! LOL! Plenty of time to do it! When you girls do this it will inspire me to do the same!

Agreed it is the TTD it should be ok to heck with tradition anyways. We are 2011 chicks now!!

Hmm love this BCBG dress. So pretty!

Anyone have communication with Claudia over the last month. She has not returned one of my emails. Starting to wonder if she still works there.

She wouldn't be on my list. I'm sorry you have to deal with that. Some woman really are over the top!

Yeah Brandy!! Make sure you post your pics! Can't wait to see it!

Very classy!!

Love your luggage tags they came out great!!

Lisa- I love the 1rst bouquet it is gorgeous!!

Ella- Great choice on those orange sandals, I'm thinking of ordering them as well. Super cute!

Mocha- Bouquet you made is amazing. You have some talent!

Yes I have been trying to reach my wedding coordinator for a few weeks now. I sure hope she gets back to me soon!

Congrats! You must be relieved to have it booked!

It is exciting!! What resort did the two of you pick?

Hi Perry1217!!

How exciting! 1 year!! Have you started any DIY projects yet? My wedding is April 2012, so 1 yr and 3 months out! I've started doing alot of things! I am trying to get my OOT bags completely done so I can stop thinking about it! I hate waiting till last minute for anything! I have my boarding pass invite done too! I just have to make 30 of them I guess the only real hard part is the sleeves for them! Where are you getting married? We are at Dreams Cancun Resort & Spa!

Hmmm never thought of it getting all over my dress!! My plight is that I am a redhead and will get tons of freckles if I tan!! HMMMM what to do!!

Ok girls!! We are getting closer to 2012!! Yippeee!!

Happy New Years!!!

So romantic!! Love it!

Tenny- Well to hell with bridesmaids right! LOL! It will still be just as special with or withot bridesmaids! Less money since you aren't paying for the dresses or the bouquets! You will be the hit of the wedding!!

Brandy- Boy you are the best shoe hunter around! Amazing how quick you are at finding shoes! I absolutely love those flipflops from Nina with the rosettes! Absolutely gorgeous! I am thinking of ordering them for my bridesmaids in their favorite colors just for fun! Super love them!

You guys have a great thread going here. Let's hope the April 2012 brides are as great as all of you been with sharing tips come 2012!!

Thanks Lisa great idea!!

So happy about that cause I wanted to get my brochure, luggage tags, can't wait to see you small magnets and calender magnets out to my guest before the end of January. A few more off that HUGE list of to do's!

I have my grandmother and a gilfriend in Tampa Florida that are coming but with shoes I would rather try them on. If I don't find anything local I will just have to chance it!

 Door hangers!! Awesome!! How did you design those?

The day after we arrived in the resort we went to the weddings office and met with Cecilia - she gave me a slip of paper with the things for me to do.  One of them was my appointments for hair and makeup, as well as appointments for the couples massage and facial we received with the eternity honeymoon pacakge, we went straight to the spa and booked them when we were there.

I had the ultimate package so hair and makeup was included, she did an absoultely fantastic job, I told her what I liked and she did exactly that only much better then I could have done.  everybody commented on it.

In regards to the menu, we had somebody allergic to seafood, so the soup / salad / desert had to be the same but we were allowed to have individuals choose from a choice of 2 main courses and we had to provide Cecilia with these chooses 1 week prior.

 

Hope this helps,

Tori

Hi Tori,

Have you posted a review yet? I am looking forward to reading it!

Also did you see her selection of flowers in a catalog? Did she have alot of selections? This is what I am most nervous about!
