Did I miss something? Did something happen in Mexico recently? I got my first RSVP "no" and she was like "You didn't hear about Mexico?" and "We don't feel safe" but she wouldn't elaborate...?

Ladies who had their entrance by carriage!! How long did it take from the time your carriage turned the corner (so guests can see you) for you to get to the alter standing beside your groom to be? I want to know if the song I want for my entrance is long enough. Thanks!

Tackled my first DIY project today with my sewing machine savvy aunt! I saw these nautilus shell ring bearer pillows on etsy and fell IN LOVE. BUT, not with their price tag. Some were charging $40 not including shipping to Canada. SO I made my own!! I ordered a large (5 - 6 inch) Nautilus shell off Ebay (cost $16 CDN) + $10 shipping to Canada. For you US people, it might be a lot cheaper!! After that, I stopped at my local Fabricland and bought half a meter of satin fabric. This was WAAAAAY more than enough. I think I only really needed a foot MAXIMUM. But half a meter cost me $2CDN, so it wasn't bad. I purchased stuffing for $0.50CDN (again, didn't use all of it) and ribbon on sale for under $1.00. Sew an oval pillow and stuff it. Stitch your ribbon on the pillow. Hot glue gun. DONE! So for less than $30 for Canadian ladies, I was able to DIY my own ring bearer pillow. For you ladies in the states, I can probably guess it would cost you closer to $20!! <3 I apologize for the lighting in my house. The shell is pearly white, satin pillow is white and the ribbon is champange.

I'm thinking of taking the free bridal bouquet at the resort and separating them in half for two bridesmaids. Has anyone done this? Also, what should I bring for that? Just floral tape?!

I am interested. Who is keeping track of the guest list? =)

Aside from tours being offered by the resorts themselves, I was looking into other things. Does anyone know a good resource or place to go (quality and cost) for the following tours/activities? - swim with Whale Sharks - visit Underwater Museum - Baby Sea Turtle release (I know Le Blanc does this one seasonally)

Great photos!! His white suit totally matches your dress!!

I am using this as inspiration, which swatch do you ladies think it matches best?

For those who did pants only, where did you order your shirts (specifically white button down tees)?

Beautiful!! Makes me want to get fireworks for my wedding too! XD

I'm just looking for whatever swatches for the $99 suits. =) Light beigy shades.

Any ladies have a "used" swatch I can buy off them?

What is this place? Spa?

Ladies, does anyone know how big the bridal bouquet is (the complimentary one). Would I be able to split it in half for my two bridesmaids?

Thanks for this, Coco! Where did you find the information?

Hey do you ladies know if MP is considered a 4 or 5 star resort?

My mom has no idea what she wants to wear for our beach ceremony. Sh'es petite and tomboyish. Any advice? What are you mom's wearing?

This is a good idea which I was also considering. (minus toasts). Do you plan on using the same CD player from the ceremony for your first dance music?

Welcome to the boards!! I'm a Torontonian and we're getting married in Cancun~
