Hello All! I'm a newly engaged Canadian Bride seriously considering the Barcelo Maya Palace for my 2012 wedding. Have read the last 100 pages on this thread and am very please to read (for the most part) that everyone's wedding has been a success at this resort. We're still considering a couple of the Dreams Resorts...and though i see how great the BMP is - I'm a little concerned about the prices of their packages compared to Dreams. So far -I'm pretty sure i'll be hiring an outside photographer...makeup/hair..DJ...and possibly flowers/decorations - so having said that - is it really worth even getting a wedding package? As opposed to just paying per person for a private dinner? I think thats about all thats left over other than the cake. Or maybe I'm forgetting something..lol. Any input would be great! We're meeting with our TA tomorrow and hopefully finding out prices to book! thanks all!

Thank you!!! I'm sooo looking forward to all the tips and advice I'll be picking up on here!

Hi all - not sure if anyone else is on the new Quinoa kick - but if anyone is and knows how best to count it - I would loooove some help! I made an awesome recipe yesterday - with quinoa..mushrooms..corn..onion..and just not too sure how to count it as I used chicken broth and some vegetable oil in there aswell. I know quinoa is easily measured on its own - but just not sure how many points this yeilds with all that extra stuff! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
