  1. I don't know this answer because we only did a 1 hour tour but I do know for 100% sure there are no wristbands!!
  2. The videographer thing is big for me. I am obsessed with other people's cinematographer style wedding videos. I watch them and get all emo and then I want my own!! I was not impressed with the resorts videography site at all. As a result of this, I decided to bring in someone from the outside. It took A LOT of convincing with the resort but I think you could do it with less convincing if you just paid for them as a guest...paid for a room with them. Anyway, I am paying Cancun Wedding Video $2600 for 8 hours of coverage - I believe. The resort charges $2400 for much lower quality. I am been trying to stay quiet about this but I think it is our wedding and we should be able to use who we like so I pushed. That is the only thing I pushed on and I am happy I got it.
  3. I am thrilled to hear you loved everything!!! We are staying in the preferred club honeymoon suite in 48 days!!! I am just so so excited. Every time I hear a positive review I get so emotional thinking it will be us soon!! You looks stunning and congratulations!!! Thank you for sharing your photos!
  4. My fiance got them really nice book bags with their last names embroidered on them. He is also paying for the registration to a mud run for all of them since they loved doing those things together.
  5. Kevin and I are getting married at town hall a few days before we leave for Mexico. We're bringing our parents and signing the papers but are not exchanging rings. We probably won't even take vows. We shouldn't need anything to go to Mexico that we wouldn't normally need. Passport. People won't know we're recently married and my name won't be changed yet. We may or may not bring the marriage certificate but I don't think the resort cares if it's a symbolic ceremony. Hope this helped!
  6. We are bringing silk flowers down in a month and a half! Can you tell me how you packed them? They are the one thing I am very nervous about.
  7. My dress is silk organza too! It actually is made to look wrinkly, I think. I am htinkng I will just hang it on the plane and not let the resort touch it.
  8. It will be hot...we were there last summer. IT was very comfortable on the beach at night. We got engaged like 50 feet from Dreams on the beach around 10:00 pm.
  9. Hi!! I know I am so so so excited! It will be 2 months from Sunday and we leave 2 months from today! Planning is good. Yamina has all of my specifications so now I really feel like it's just about getting there. I am bringing fake flowers for the wedding because I wanted ones that were too expensive to be real. I am worried about packing everything we need to bring. I am getting fresh centerpieces of floating orchids with a candle in the top. What about you? I can't wait!!!
  10. OMG NO I am soooo sorry!!! Can you please share though so we can find ways to prevent it? I am also terribly sorry about the rain!!!
  11. My mom is wearing a blush colored chiffon dress. Bridesmaids are also in chiffon. Guys in khakis and button downs with sleeves rolled up. On our website we say the dress is "Beach Chic" and described it.
  12. Anyone new to the board should check out my youtube channel. Our video tour of DRC is posted. www.youtube.com/belcantoragazza Videos go 1-11. You get to see a lot of the locations some of you are curious about!
  13. We have 44 coming and we're doing out of town bags. My fiance is in the business world so he has quite a few connections. We're getting all of the couples a canvas beach tote that has their last name embroidered on it. The single guys will get a book bag with their last name on it too. Inside will be a beach towel for each person. We got these wholesale online - I am not sure how much as my parents paid for them. A pair of sunglasses, again a wholesale purchase. They come in various colors. I like them a lot. Mini tissues, mentos, a little survival kit with bandaids, medicines, aloe, and a biodegradable sunscreen tube. The sunscreen is required to snorkel down there. We bought a big tub of it and filled little bottles that say "Lindsey & Kevin's Magic Biodegradable Sunscreen." We put it in for the catamaran trip. We also had fancy Do Not Disturb signs made and water bottle labels, so there will be water for each person. We will include an itinerary and welcome letter too. Hope this helps!
  14. Well when I say $10,000, I didn't count our fights or stays...just the wedding. From NJ our flights were $668. I wanted to fly direct so we didn't risk losing anything. I thought that was high!
  15. I don't feel like we're being ripped off because a wedding like this at the Jersey Shore would cost much more money. I think keeping my wedding under $10,000 is perfect and you pay extra for quality service and individual service to your group.
  16. hahaha it absolutely has!!! people don't believe me when I tell you it's so easy! Have you had your shower and things?
  17. Good luck!!! I bet it will be amazing!! @Tigerlily, my wedding is 5 days after yours! We arrive on the 17th. Will you still be there? I'd love to find out how your day went!
  18. I agree!!! SO FAST! It's exciting because I want to have it playing at my at home reception so hopefully ours is that fast too!!
  19. PS - I'm debating what to wear under it! Did you wear any bustier or anything? I think I might just wear undies!
  20. So glad to hear that!! They said at the store it would be but it really looked fabulous!! So reassuring!
  21. You're wearing my dress!! You look gorgeous!! My fiance just happened to be sitting next to me and I panicked! I'm like ahhhh we have to stop watching now!
  22. Our colors are aqua blue and apple green! We're keeping it pretty casual. The girls are wearing chiffon green dresses and the guys khakis and an aqua button down with the sleeves rolled up. Everyone is barefoot! What are yours?
