Best Wishes! I'm so excited for you! Can't wait to hear all the details and see some pictures! It will be beautiful! I have another month to go and am really starting to feel the excitement and stress!! I will be thinking about ya and sending "good weather" thoughts your way ! Congrats!!!!!!!

If you are planning on 11-11-11 HURRY!!! I am finding everything is booked, including flights that week due to so many weddings that week! Congrats and good luck!

Hi ladies! I purchased my dress from Davids Bridal, as well as a friend of mine. Both dresses turned out beautiful when arrived without any complications. I will suggest making an appointment on a week night NOT a weekend. It's slower in the store and makes for a less hectic shopping experience. I go for alterations next week, so I will let ya know how that goes. But so far... I can recommend DB's -especially for the budget minded. It is my second wedding and on the beach and I found exactly what I wanted for exactly what I wanted to spend. If anything, they do have all styles to try if you are not sure what you like It's a good place to start....

That is going to be really pretty!! I'm getting excited for you! Can't Wait to hear all about it! I am sending Great Weather Wishes" your way!!

I went with Malibu Blue dresses from Davids Bridal. I'm just having two girls stand up with me so I let them pick the dresses.... They are long and flowy with some bling on the straps and neckline. Pretty! Our flowers are a tropical mix with lots of color! How bout you??

Coming up on the 8 week mark for me!! I'm getting so excited, I get that "butterfly" feeling in my stomach! I'm praying for great weather for us all!!!

Very pretty! Your hair style looks great to!!!

I choose blue tulle to decorate the gazebo and decided to go with uncovered chairs... I looked at a lot of pictures and got some other girl advice and decided to spent the $$$ on other things instead of chair covers....we really want the beach feel so I decided against a runner and I am doing just rose petals on the sand and two flower corsages on the gazebo with a white linen table cloth on the small table under the gazebo with matching flower arrangement and sand ceremony vases. The WC said they will move the flowers to the cocktail and dinner area after ceremony....

Hi! Yes, we passed the info on about the dress code, Thanks! Since we are having a BBQ on the beach for our reception shorts are ok! Yeah!!!

actually, we just have a group of 26 so we are going with using our IPODS and amp system. my FI is very set on wearing shorts!! ~ I'm ok with this, it is very "him" we picked out some nice linen shorts and shirts from TommyBahama.com. Check it out!!

Yes! it is the Reef Adventure that leaves from Maroma Marina which is about 20mn from the resort.

I was all set to do OOT Bags, but then after looking at the costs for the bags and items... we decided to put the $$$ toward a group activity. We are doing a Catamaran Snorkeling trip the day before the wedding. I ordered some cute beach themed photo albums and a candle for each couple to receive at the welcome dinner. Less to carry and worry about when we get there...My FI was all for this idea instead of bags so, it made him Happy!

well, it's been two months since i sent my legal documents off to the State Department in DC to receive a Apositille sealed ~ and NO reply yet! I even checked my bank statement to see if the check i sent to cover the translation fees had been cashed and NO! so still waiting and hoping.....

so, I just heard back from US airways... I emailed to ask what the policy was on carrying on a wedding dress...I got a very nice reply saying that there is no room to lay a dress in the overhead and they do not have closet space anymore on planes. They suggested a standard 45" garment bag folded in half is the best option. Ugh! something new to stress about!!

HI! Nice to meet you to! We are actually from Mascoutah, IL~ just on the far edge of the metro east! Our wedding date is November 11th, but I wish I could say it was in October. I am getting pretty excited! You will love EDR! We have stayed there 4 times in the last 4 years, actually once was at EDR Maroma. It is very nice resort to and on a beautiful beach. It is were my FI proposed. SO, EDR is a special place for us and that is why we choose it for our DW. We have had both friends & family go down and all absolutely loved and and have sinced returned as well. It is a good choice. We are staying in the casitas~ they tend to spoil you over there on that side of the resort. Our ceremony is on Friday, so we will be arriving on the previous monday. Are you doing a civil ceremony or legal?? I think I have most of the plans, extras, etc. figured out with Carolina....kind of still in that process. The little things sure add up fast!! I emailed the airline asking about their Bridal dress carry on policy ~ I'm alittle nervous about that. Still waiting for a reply from US Airways. My dress isn't that big, but does have a bit of a train that makes it kind of bulky on the bottom.... I hope all of your plans are coming together. I have been to EDR during the sametime that you are going and the weather was nice!

85 DAYS !! and counting.....

Congrats! our wedding is at gazebo 55 at 3:30 followed by mexican cocktail hour on the beach and the BBQ after on the beach as well at gazebo fuentes. Tucanes is a great location! have you been to EDR? We love it !! And "Yes" Carolina has been very helpful! of your details!

just an update! now that we are 3 months out from our wedding at EDR ~ I have had more frequent contact with my WC and we are getting down to business with the details! she has been great!

I completely agree!! although...I am trying to get my paperwork processed here in the US so we can have a legal ceremony in Mexico BUT so far it's been over a month and no return of documents atleast I know I tried

I am going with Caribe Photo ~ I did some checking and liked what I saw. I was able to find some other reviews as well and they were all good! And budget wise, it fits!! We are also having the BBQ for our Wedding Dinner & reception! I've been working on the details with Carolina this week...It's much harder than I thought! Our location is at Gazebo Fuentes ~ We visited last November and I really don't remember how that location looked... But I'm sure it's great! We decided to do a Welcome Dinner instead of Rehersal Dinner...it will be at La Isla. Carolina sent the menues and we choose what we wanted ~ an App. a soup or salad, two courses, and dessert! I emailed her my flower choices and ceremony decor for Gazebo 55 so far so good with the plans!! getting very excited! 24 guests are booked!

Hi! I am working with Carolina. She got back with me this past week ! I feel so much better now! Thank you for asking! we are getting married 11-11-11 How bout you?

A civil ceremony is our backup plan for sure, but I really wanted to just have that "one" ceremony for sentimental purposes so, I dedcided to put the effort into what needs to be done and see what happens.... I'm hopeful! If not, we will be fine with doing it legally in the states but recognizing our beach ceremony as the offical wedding! We will do it secretly tho so not to ruin it for our guests.

I love the first one! Cute!!

Our ceremony is set for 3:30pm ~ recommended by our WC to allow for good picture taking time. She suggested not going past 4pm. Our wedding date is 11-11-11 .... hope that helps!

100 days until we say "I DO" It is just now really starting to hit me! I'm feeling a little stress. I just heard back from my WC asking for the decor details, flowers, menus, etc! August is going to be a busy month!
