Is anyone signing a prenuptial agreement? Know anything about it?

This is an older thread but applies so much to my life right now. My MOH just doesn't want to participate for one reason or another. She hasn't been supportive since the day I got engaged. At first I gave her the benefit of the doubt because her fiance just called their wedding off, and I felt like it was a tough time for her. But 1.5 years later, she should be moving on, especially considering she has a new boyfriend. Grrrr. My other BM, who is also a bff, now that girl is having issues. Her MOH is so selfish. If I were an outsider looking in, I would guess her MOH was the Bride. Even though I am a BM, I wanted to help out with the Bridal Shower, Bachelorette Party, etc....but I have been the one in control because her MOH is too busy being selfish and a big bia. I am hanging in there for my girl because she is a GREAT friend, but if it wasn't for her....I would have defriended this girl a long time ago. I just think that once you accept the role of MOH or BM, you accept the responsibilities of that role, including being supportive NO MATTER WHAT! Thats why the bride chose YOU! Hello. Grrr. I tried not to write a book about this, but just the thoughts bring tears to my eyes. Its sooo frustrating. Why do the people that are suppose to be there for you when you need it the most, to plan and celebrate the best day of your whole life hurt you the most?!?!

I am getting married here in October 2011. So excited. You will definitely have to post a review when you get back. Since you started planning awhile ago, any updates in regards to your experience with the resort, or the WC?

Congrats girly! Hope its a great day for you both!

I would really like to do our ceremony and reception there. Still doing my comparisons though. Its beautiful. I read alot of good wedding ceremony and reception stories about the Jellyfish. Did you get the packet from her? I was also wandering about the cake. I believe they have a suggested baker for the cake, but they dont actually offer that from the restruants kitchen. She never mentioned the preinvoice to me, although, I am going there to do a couple of walk throughs next month and the resturant was one of them. She may have it ready for then.

Definitely Quiznos! Soup or Salad?

Thanks so much Tambo for the photography information! Are you providing transportation for your guests from the airport to the hotel?!

Glenny, did you provide transportation to and from the airport for your guests? I want to, but $44/pp seems steep to me?! Also, did you use their photographer? I want more pictures than 10, but not too extreme. Any suggestions on that as well?! Thanks for the information on the Ambar vs. Esmeralda, I was wandering that as well.

Is anyone providing transportation for their guests to the hotel from the airport? I got my quote today. The prices for the wedding and reception are outstanding. One thing I wanted to do for my guest is cover their transportation but I was quoted $44/pp for roundtrip. I think this is a little extreme?!?! Any suggestions?

This restuarant sounds like just what we were looking for. Something different, quaint and laid back, but still very classy. The prices are comparable to the resorts I was considering. Mayte (the wedding coordinator) was very quick when responding. She seems very helpful. Does anyone know any resorts or hotels fairly close other than the Melia and Barcelo Bavaro? Anyone gotten married here already?!

First, I highly recommend "An Affair to Remember" for planning services. They are great. I had a friend that got married at The Courtyard at Lake Lucerne. I wasn't able to attend, but I heard it was beautiful! I haven't seen or heard of the other two places you mentioned, although I am sure they are very nice!

Are you having a hard time with the vendors because of the photographer. I am a bit confused...

Im in Orlando as well. Getting married in Cancun October 2011! Yay. Glad I am not the only Florida girl!

So cute. Great idea. I got one of these as a gift before and I love it!

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think she means, you can pay the resort to reserve your date. I have found that many resorts ask that you put an inital down payment to hold the date, then that payment is transferable to your wedding costs, or your room costs, or whatever you want to apply it toward. It is completely seperate from paying for your wedding or down payments for the wedding at this stage though. Does that make sense?

Hello Ladies. I am Tiffany. My fiance is Kyle. We are getting married October 20, 2011. I am getting so excited with a little over 11 months to go! I looked all over for a destination wedding forum and finally came across this one. I dont know how I missed it, but I am so thankful I found it. I have been lurking for a few weeks and have found so many helpful threads on here. I am going to continue to use this resourceful board until I get married, and hopefully afterword, I can help a new B2B the way I have been helped! So glad to meet all of you and looking forward to all the excitment!

Is there anyone from Florida? I seen a "South" thread, but not many Florida brides on there....

JetsettinBride, I originally was going to go with the Dreams Cancun Resort, but I find it extremely frustrating that the wedding coordinator never called me back. I emailed them for information, then called there 3 times, called the TA, and the hotel's general line. I left tons of messages and I haven't gotten a call back in 4 weeks!!! I want to save my date! Someone suggested the Westin or the Marriott. I found that the Marriott is more expensive than some other places I have looked at and liked more. I was going back and forth between all-inclusive and just European style, but right now, I am thinking AI is winning me over. I am looking into the Moon Palace right now, which seems to be pretty popular on here. Its gorgeous and decently priced. I also know someone who has been there and loved it so thats a plus too. Since your getting married in 2012, you have so much time to work out kinks. I waited until I was a year out to even start looking, and now I feel like I waited too long. Starting early is a great idea. Get your minds set on a resort then when it comes time to book, there is no stress because you already did your research! Good luck! JanineA- Your right, but its horrible for us brides! Is it so wrong to ask for a little honesty??? hahaha

I am running into the same problem. Ugh it is so frustrating. Right now, I feel like giving the DW up and heading to the local court house! You would think it would be way easier and pretty upfront considering a majority of the weddings held at hotels/resorts in Mexico are DWs! No, they still try to rip every bride off in one way or another. Sigh....I just don't know! I am going on 3 weeks of searching for the perfect place for us, and cost just keeps kicking my rear!

Girl, that sounds like alot of drama. I would say, if it means that much to you that your parents and uncle come, just informally invite the friend. It is only 1 more person right? I mean, I definitely see your side of the story and it is a really crappy situation. You just have to decide what means the most to you on your wedding day. I hope things turn out ok for you!
