Hey! Just wanted to let you know that just yesterday we received our translated license in the mail! They really take it up to the 60 business days don't they?! Hope you received yours, and if not you should very shortly! Good luck with the name change fiasco!

Thanks so much for the "heads up"! If you can, let me know when you receive yours. Hopefully sooner rather than later since I'm ready to go deal with the name change thing and get it over with!

Just wanted to see if you ended up receiving your translated certificate yet since its over the 60 days...I'm still waiting on mine. Keep me posted on how that goes and if you end up having to contact someone! Thanks!

For those of you who had a legal ceremony done there, how long did it take for you to get your translated copy of the marriage license sent to you? I was married on February 23rd and still haven't gotten it. I know they say it can take up to 60 days, but I'm starting to get nervous cause that's only 2 more weeks away and i'm dying to start getting things changed over to my new name. How long did it take for others to get it? Am i overreacting or should I contact the WC?

Just wondering if anyone knows how the wifi works. I know we have it included in our honeymoon package for the bride and groom, but when do we get the password for that? Once we arrive, or not until the actual honeymoon starts? Any of you ladies happen to know?

Hey Ladies! So as far as once down there in Mexico. I assume we have to take all of our decor for the ceremony & reception to the appointment with the on site coordinator. Then after the ceremony & reception will the staff then pack up all of the decor and everything for you? or will I be standing around packing up my stuff before heading out to the bars? Just curious as I have not been told any of this yet and was kind of curious. Hopefully I will not have to do it myself. Please let me know if you can! Thanks!

Those of you who have done this before...were you given all of your guests room numbers once you arrived? I have a list of guests, arrival & departure dates, and room numbers in a booklet for each guest to have and just wondered if you can get this info when you check in. Also did any of you request a specific room or section ahead of time, or just took your chances that they'll give you a fantastic room once you got to the resort?

Those of you who brought your own real touch/ silk bouquets...how did you pack it, or where did you have it for the flight. I'm still stuck on that and have no idea how I'm gonna get it down there. Any suggestions ladies?!

Kind of a random question for those of you who have been there before...which restaurant offers fondue? I know they don't have their fondue restaurant anymore, but I believe one of the other restaurants sort of picked that up. Can't seem to find it on any of their menus. Anyone know?

We are leaving on the 19th and then switching to the Casita side after the wedding on the 24th...will any of you ladies still be there then? I'm at the "less than 2 week" marker and getting sooooo excited! Any last minute tips for things I should be prepared for?

I am exactly where you're at right now! I just had by Shower and Bachelorette party this past weekend. You're doing better than me...I gained 4 lbs with all the drinking! HAHA. With everything going on and stressing the next few weeks that will easily come off for both of us, no worries! Hope at least had a great time at your bachelorette, cause that makes it worth it! Love the sunglasses and necklaces! I keep checking the weather forecast too...everyday, there's a countdown and a weather check! Good luck with the next few weeks! Almost there!

I'm sort of confused...I was given the set-up fee of $5/pp included on my final spreadsheet to be paid ahead of time as opposed to on site and in cash. If I end up having more or less then what was quoted, will I either owe some in cash then or receive a credit if charged too much? This may be a question for the WC, but if you could shed some light that would be helpful! Thanks so much

For those of you who did the ipod wedding music...when did the WC take your ipod? We're going to try and use an ipod and have backup music on my iphone, but I don't want my iphone taken from the date we have our meeting with the WC to our wedding date. I can't NOT have my phone with me! HAHA. Also...using my iphone I have the "myweddingdj" app downloaded, but am unable to figure out if that can be used on an ipod. If anyone knows please help! Thanks so much ladies!

Mike- I LOVE these photos you posted! You're the photog for my wedding in February...looking at these photos gets me excited for my day! Thanks for posting them.

Please add me to the list as well...I would love to get in on this! Jnadair February 19-March 3 El Dorado Royale Lancaster, PA

Jill- It sucks this had to happen at all, but thank goodness this happened when it did and you will still be able to fly! Get well soon girl!

My colors are palm beach coral and blue, so they should be perfect. I'm only wearing them for the reception though, since I will be barefoot in the sand for the ceremony. I'm pretty tall so I had to go with flats so I wouldn't be taller than my FI. I can't wait to wear them and they were even on sale at Steve Madden!

So I'm probably just getting paranoid, but EXACTLY what paperwork do I need to have for a legal ceremony? I've read different things on different sites. Neither one of us as been previously married before and both live in PA. I submitted forms to Val last year, but I'm not sure if there's anything else I need to provide? Do I need anything Apostled? So confused. Can anyone shed some light please? Thanks!

It should say SATURDAY, July 28th. Hope you didn't print them yet!

Just noticed I need to be added to the list and join you lovely brides! Mine is February 23, 2013!!

I was wondering the same thing about people being hungry during an informal cocktail hour as I do not want to have to pay for a private one. I was sort of thinking about letting people know to grab a snack at one of the quick restaurants or order room service for a late lunch a couple of hours before the ceremony, that way they won't be starving by the time the reception rolls around. (Our ceremony is at 4pm so I figure if people eat around 2 they should be ok until the reception at 6.) I definitely understand about not wanting to pay for a formal cocktail hour that the B & G aren't going to be able to enjoy anyway...and it IS an all inclusive...let the guests take advantage of that!
