Ashley that dress is gorgeous! I can totally imagine it blowing in the wind. I originally had a similar idea, but I recently fell in love with trumpet/mermaid style. Are you actually getting married on the sand or in a gazebo?

Ok, good to know. Thank you!

Hi Ladies!!! I am getting married on 11/4/11 at the Moon Palace in Cancun. Like many of you, I didn't want to deal with the hurricane issue either. I checked the weather in November and it sounds absolutely perfect (70-80 during the day). I have designed my STD's but I am having issues with Vista Print (keeps saying resolution too low). I designed them on photoshop, so it shouldn't have been a problem??? I have tried on several dresses and I am clinging to the Maggie Sottero Adorae (http://media.onsugar.com/files/2010/09/37/5/793/7939238/100f8b02a97b5d12_wedddingtrend_maggie-sottero-ADORAE.jpg) I am planning on getting the STD's out next week and then invitations in April. I have chosen a photographer and a venue, but still need to book the venue. I look forward to hearing more of ya'lls ideas!

Wow! Crazy revenge, but well thought out.

Yuck! Not a Gin girl. Pink saphires

Tenny, I belong to 24 hour fitness and they have a bunch of machines in the front that is sectioned off for a 30 minute turbo burn. It incorporates all muscle groups and you do 1 set of 15 on each one, then you repeat. You finish it off with 20 minutes of cardio and by then you should be tired. Try something like that and if all else fails, start thinking about investing in P90X. I am a little intimidated by how difficult it sounds, but it's definately worth a try. Good Luck!

Beaches, I love the look! Very tropical!

How far in advance should we start booking these services? Do they allow you to book 10 months out?

Great tips Lisa! Thank you! I always thought that staying under 1200 calories per day was good for you. Guess not.

SChica, You are awesome! Thank you so much for the comments and pics. I am getting married there in November as well. When is your wedding? Ours is 11/4/11. I know you stated that the pools aren't heated, but were they warm enough to be comforatable? When was your visit? I am curious since I won't get to visit the MP before the wedding and all of my info comes from BDW .

I absolutely love this! I bet it could be incorporated with a photo booth idea.

Thank you all so much! I will be checking on all of these. If you think or hear of any more please let me know. I will keep you all posted on what I find out.

I was having the same argument with myself, but we decided on the Moon Palace because of it's size and unlimited activities. My fiance' is a big golfer and since it is attached to the golf course, it was an easy decision for him. I plan on communicating with my photographer to get alot of the nature scenery in the background instead of the buildings. This will give me the texture I am looking for. I hope this helps.

I am starting to have a panic attack. My fiance' and I are trying to plan a lower budget Cancun wedding at the Moon Palace. We fell in love with Del Sol photography, but the prices are too high for us. I was so excited to find La Luna photography (their sister company) at a lower price. They are booked for my day . Then I did some research this morning and found Ivan Luckie, but unfortunately he is booked too. I specifically love the photojournalistic style and I am running out of options. Any advice or ideas???

Thank you so much for all the info! I am going grocery shopping tonight and will be picking up most of your reccommendations . I am also going to the library today to pick up that book! I am so excited to be lighter!

Please post the name of the book and the author. I am getting married 11/4/11 and would like to perfect the eating habits and work out schedule by Summer. I would love to lose 20lbs. Lsmith, I think we are all in the same frame of mind. I definately don't want to be dodging cameras because I feel like i don't look my best.

I am sorry to hear that. My mom lives in another state, so she won't be part of the planning process, but to be honest, she probably would've bailed too. I keep her up to date with pictures and request her opinion on decisions. You could show her pics of your top three dresses, I'm sure she will feel a sting in her heart to know she couldn't be there to see you in person.

You pictures are absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations! I am getting married at the Moon Palace and they have the option of the gazebo overlooking the water as well. I am truelly torn between getting married on the beach or in the gazebo. What made you choose the gazebo over the beach?

HAHAHA! I am at work too! It's amazing how much you can procrastinate at work while doing research on BDW

Hi Ladies! I live in Jersey Village and we are getting married 11-4-11 in Cancun! I started looking for dresses at Alfred Angelo, but couldn't find anything that suited me. I only want to spend around $600.00 since it will be a beach wedding. I plan on checking out David's Bridal too. How is your search going Msawyer?

Planning a wedding seems to really show you who your true friends are. I always like to think that if something is important to someone, they will go after it and make it happen. I think his brother may be a little jealous, and in his own childish way, they are being difficult to get back at you. Just remember, they will be the ones sitting home during your wedding, while everyone else is celebrating. They will definately see the pictures and the hurt will sting them for missing such an important event. The little getaway they are planning is in lieu of your wedding and their attempt to draw attention to themselves. I would say, do your best to show them it doesn't bother you and hold your head high. Go to the family events and smile, because you are marrying your best friend. If they don't want to be part of it, that's their problem. Hopefully they will give you a nice gift since they can't make the wedding. Even if they don't, just picture how happy you're going to be in your wedding dress. I hope this helps

OMG! That's an awkward place to be. Now that it's been 2 months, has the situation gotten any better. I have a couple in my wedding, and have already told them that if they split up, they will still be walking down the aisle together. They are getting along great so far, so hopefully we won't have any drama. I hope everything is working out for you, please let us know how it's going.

I agree with DeAngelis, your website turned out so cute! I used mywedding.com too, but I just got started. I am definately inspired. I loved your engagement pics! Was that your idea or your photographers? Either way, loved it!

Wow you are quick!!!! Thank you so much Shelbygirl! I can't wait to look at all the attatchments!
