Welcome Laura! I did the same thing when I joined- what priceless info these ladies have!! OMG, that is called domestic violence and has nothing to DO with the resort!! How stupid- he could have killed her anywhere!! Also- I know I've been MIA lately- but I do have some DIY projects done and will post them SHORTLY>>>

Yay! Congrats on making it official! You are GORGEOUS!! You look so so so beautiful and I'm so happy to hear it all went well! Can't WAIT for the review!!

Beautiful! I looked into something like this but (as I seriously want to do everything) had to cut it from the budget. I've read from past brides that they are a huge hit though! I can't agree more about being sick of people saying they won't be able to make it. My MOH told me in Dec she won't be coming, which temporarily sent me over the edge. But since then I've decided that my family and FI's family will be there and that's all that counts. We won't make it to 75 room nights (hopefully 60) but oh well. I'll be a glowing bride even if no one is there to see me! And after everything that happened with my family almost not coming (as talked about in Dec) I'm just so blessed my and FI's parents and siblings will be there. "Go families" LOL!

Okay ladies so I asked "if we qualify for a free private reception do we have to pay for it first and then get reimbursed" (which you all answered for me before I got a reply) Then I got an email from my on site wedding coordinator who told me the "if the private function is given as a group benefit it is for te first two hours"!?! Does this mean it is only free for the first two hours??

ndvidul- words cannot express how much I LOVE EVERYTHING you have done!! I even considered PMing you to see if I could buy the blumeboxes from you when you get back but then I saw you at getting married like 5 days before we leave for MX, so I guess that wouldn't work. Seriously though, I love your style!! coco- YAYAYAAYAY CESAR!!! He is adorable and makes me so very excited for when we get our little Frida next month! I watched the video you posted on facebook of him trotting through the snow and my heart melted! SO EXCITING Also, love the box/ guestbook!! So after sending a list of questions to my miami wedding planner I just got an email from Beatriz who is going to be my onsite planner! Which means in Feb I can start reserving locations and start the official planning through Moon! Yay! I think I remember other people saying they work with Beatriz, do you like her? I hope you're all having a wonderful Sunday!!

One of my facebook friends posted this. Let's all take a minute to laugh at ourselves...

Hey could someone PM me the different menu options available? I'm thinking about working on making my menu cards. Gracias!!

I love everything... especially YOUR DRESS!!! How beautiful and unique. I love the back of it! Fun! Also, congrats Mr. and Mrs.

Okay so one of my bridesmaids gave me a good idea the other day. I have been going back and forth between doing silk flower arrangements and just waiting until I get to MX and trying to get some fresh flowers at a florist there. I looked into Marvin too but I thought the prices to be still a little expensive, esp considering his reputation for being late (I didn't want to spend precious vacation hours waiting on him, or make anyone else in our group do so). My bridesmaid suggest I look into sam's club. There is a Sam's Club in Cancun and online it says you can purchase 200 white roses for about $200-$250. That is perfect as I was thinking about doing all white flowers anyways. So I'm going to call their customer service line sometime and see if I can order them to pick up in cancun and then take a taxi to get them. I thought that if I didn't have to pay for them ahead of time I could always see what they looked like once we got there and if they were sub-par not pick them up. Sam's always has beautiful flowers to choose from anyways so even if they won't let me do this I might just swing by once we get there either way. Plus I could see if they have glass vases to use as centerpieces. I thought with the extra flowers not in bridesmaids hands I could fill the glass vases with limes and white roses (My colors are emerald green and cream) Bottom line is in my opinion the flowers are just an added beauty that is not necessary at such an already beautiful wedding. So to me, if this doesn't work out and we end up with no flowers I will not be upset in the least. Too bad most of you are getting married before me, or else you could wait and see how this idea plays out for me. I'll keep you posted.

I love them! Nice work coco!!

Okay ladies remember when I posted my bridesmaids barefoot jewelry? Well this is MY barefoot jewelry!!! I just finished making them. Sorry the pic is turned I couldn't change it and I thought you'd get the idea. Charlie, our little blind runt yorkie who we love dearly was sniffing my feet while I took the pic! Bahaha, she's a riot. Looks as if she's checking out the jewelry. Nope, her crazy blind self is trying to chew on my bandage. Love her!

Whoop whoop! Can't wait to see the suit! And how exciting will it be to get the database implemented?!

Hey ladies! Quick question- does anyone know of any recent MP wedding reviews? I have not came across a new one in months and I love reading them! P.S. I'm expecting all of my lovely April bride friends to post great ones (with lots of fun pics and dos/don'ts) so I can live vicariously until June!

Alright Ladies- THIS is OuR YEaR!!!!!!! Bring on 2-0-1-2

I haven't posted on here in awhile... I just wanted to tell you all I am LOVING all you projects!! Everything looks great! Also- Felize Navidad A Todos.

Ugh why are people so afraid of this!! I mean you are just as safe, if not more safe lying around Moon Palace then you are walking down some streets in America! I'm sooo sorry to hear they feel this way. No matter what the FI says I'm sure you feel awful! And what a way to start the rest of your life's relationship with them! Please, vent away lady!! That's what we're here for!!

Thanks YWS2012 for validating my feelings. I still have mixed feelings, esp now that I know my ring cannot be enlarged. There is a beautiful alternative at the store. I just went and FI and I will go after he gets off work. It may still be below what he spent on her as I cannot see the need for anything that $$$ but I will be more than satisfied. I'm sad that the miscommunication happened in the first place but I think we no longer have hard feelings about it. And the little girl inside of me jumps for joy at the sight of that ring. PUPPPPPPPPPPIIIEEESSS!!!! Oh man it is going to be a energetic Christmas at the Wrights After all this ring business I may need to get my FI his dream boxer as well. (He wants a girl- maybe we can meet up for a little breeding action sometime!! LOL!!)

Welcome!! I totally read the whole thing before joining too, there's lot's of good info here! Oh wise coco, how right you are. Which is why I feel bad for feeling bad- cause of all he is and does for me. I know this relationship is different and so much deeper than anything either of us have had. However he can't undo telling me what he paid for her ring and I can't undo my reaction and now we both feel like an upgrade will be the best solution. Hopefully we can just put a bigger diamond on the ring I already have, we both agree it is beautiful, and will be even more so after. It's just money and (as mentioned earlier) we are so blessed. He said he would have gotten me a bigger one in the first place but there was confusion with what he thought I wanted. Anyways, thanks for the POV. Wow I love it ndvidul!!! Do you have a template? Love your style!

Aww yes! That helps sooo much and was what I have been struggling with! The "playing it cool" vs honoring my true feelings. I know in the long run I'll be happy I was honest just right now I feel crappy. Thanks so much! And I tried to explain myself in a rational "i'm not trying to be materialistic" way. I guess if nothing else he will respect my feeling even though he doesn't understand them. Just like I do for him sometimes. That's what a marriage is right?

LOVVVEEE wanna do my flowers too!!

OPINION NEEDED!! Okay ladies I need to know what you would do in this situation. My FI and I were talking about my ring today. He had bought a ring for another girl once but they broke up before he gave it to her. I have known that since before we were engaged. Somehow in conversation he mentioned that he spend more on her ring then he did on mine. I of course was not super happy about this. Especially when I found out he spend over double the amount on her ring. Now, I'm not very materialistic, but that hurts me because to me the man I marry should think I deserve the best right? He says he didn't like the ring he got her and liked the one he got me. But now since he knows he hurt me he said he has to upgrade my ring. If you found this out what would your reaction be? I tried the whole "it's not the ring I'm marrying" thing but to be honest I wouldn't mind something bigger. Ugh, after all this $$ stuff with my parents and I "materialistic me" needs a bigger ring? Anyways... thoughts ladies? Tell me I'm not the only one that would feel this way?

No worries, just keep reading this and you'll get all sorts of creative viiiibes. Not to toot our own horn or anything, but this forum ROCKS!! Looks like you have a great start, when are you getting married? Welcome welcome welcome!! You totally do not have to use the collections- in fact, you'll find that most of us are not using it, only getting a la carte things we really want added to the original "complementary" wedding. Coco, that daughter of your FI is a PAIN!! Try not to let her annoying self get in between you are your FI. Remember why you're marrying HIM. From what I remember of the lovely things you and your FI wrote about each other on your website, you two love each other through think and thin. Better or worse right? LOOOVVEE the cake server!! What a great idea! Wow, those are AmAzInG!! The silver looks great on your skin! Such a cute pic, you'll have to redo this pic on your WEDDING DAY!!

LLLOOOVVVEEE them!! And your engagement ring
