I expect to be a 2013 bride, as well.  I'd love to do it sooner, but it makes more financial sense for us to wait.  It might be nice, though, having extra time to plan things.  (Or awful, having so much time to look at things and overwhelm myself with choices!)

We're thinking Riviera Maya, possibly Dreams resort in Tulum. 

*attendants, I meant to say (not attendees) 

I'm going with something that I'd call ethereal.  I think it will add to the beauty of our beach ceremony (just imagining it set the sounds of the ocean calms and excites me at the same time!), without being too boring, as some classical songs can be, or too distracting, as a lot of pop music can be.

I plan to have the entire wedding party walk to it (only 6 attendees), as well; should be long enough for all of us.

Thank you.  It probably sounds strange, but a place that caters solely to same-sex couples is just... not our kind of place.  Our family members and friends would feel out of place there, and, to be honest, so would we.  We're not really into the culture, I guess you could say.

I've looked through a lot of photos from DT weddings and pretty much fallen in love.  I would hate to think anywhere would flat out say no, but again, trying not to get too attached till I'm certain it's no big deal.  (Very difficult!  It's exciting, looking through the posts & photos here!)

Hola, newbie here!  I come to you with a question still unanswered after hours of googling with no luck.  Perhaps someone here can help.

Are same-sex ceremonies unheard of at DT?  I've searched and not found evidence of one, but I've also not found evidence that they would likely turn away such a request, so I just don't know.  (I've asked.  Waiting on an official answer, but hungry for unofficial ones in the meantime.)

Google results steer me in the direction of a seemingly wild resort for gay men, who may or may not wish to wear clothing, but that is not exactly what I had in mind.  Ok, that is actually a whole planet away from what I had in mind!

DT looks near perfect, but I'm hesitant to get my hopes up too high.  For any of you who've gotten married there, or even just visited, have you ever seen a same-sex wedding going on? 

Thanks for any info. 

Wow!  Your review is incredibly informative & helpful!  It must have taken you days to complete, but I can only imagine how many brides you've helped. I am so glad you posted it, and even more glad I found it!  Thank you!!!
