Quote:Originally Posted by Chrestena Hi ladies!! So many new brides-to-be since I logged on last! A huge Congratulations to everyone:) I had to pop on here because tomorrow is Karenk's wedding. Karen- I am thinking of you and wishing you and your hubby to be a beautiful, happy wedding day!! Mikeycelle, your day sounds like it is filled with all the best and I'm getting so excited for you! Both you and Maybride are the same week. I am one month away from our wedding day, and I can barely sleep- my mind is constantly thinking of " do I have everything done-am I forgetting something?" I can only imagine how you two are feeling:) I have to laugh because our dining room table has become wedding central- everything is laid out, organized and I have more lists and notebooks than a college student- lol. My shoes came today and they are so pretty. Mikeycelle, thanks for the backup on the veil. I did order one- so it will be interesting to see if I decide to wear it or not. I really think I will- it makes me feel bridal:) Caseylynndavis- welcome and congrats!! I have a timeline on my wedding website of the way our day will run- please feel free to check our the way I worded it if it can help:) our site is www.christinaandmichaelswedding.com. It must go in the browser- not a search engine like google- too many Christina and Michaels wedding sites to filter through. I hope it helps! Karenk-I can't wait to hear about your day- I hope you are snug as a bug in bed getting rested up for tomorrow!! Ok -since were girls-I have to share my wedding day shoes. They just came today and I love them! ps- anyone else have a fiancé that is getting nervous about saying the vows out loud in front of everyone with a micphne ? Lol. Those shoes are gorgeous! 5 days till Mexico! -
Hi Crestena, my fellow New Yorker! You can't go wrong with a cathedral length veil. It's so dramatic, romantic and will go well with your gown! I am still waiting on my gown which is being shipped in a great big box by DHL. I am so anxious and nervous! Insomnia had set in! So ladies, everything else is being paid off. Dollar bills are sprouting wings and flying off! Centerpieces and wedding party flowers from Vanessa Jaimes, DJ Doremixx, Musicancun for the string quartet in church, mariachi band, sparklers, Cocktails and reception in La Laguna, GP, cake by Zaida Marcos of Dolcet Cakes in Cancun, gowns by Edward Teng from Manila, Philippines, photographer Matt Adcock from Del Sol Photography for cenote shoot, our cinematographer Agustin Lira from Cinematic Riviera Maya, hair and makeup from Zentropia Spa, my good friends Chris and Carol of Benchwerk Photography, NYC. I'll post reviews and pics on each of them soon!

Hi Sue! Thank you for posting the review on the food! We're opting for the Surf and turf as well. We're having our reception at La Laguna also. I loved the buffets there too! Huge selections! I liked the Brazilian, Mexican and Italian a la cartes. The Asian restaurant was ok and we liked the Japanese restaurant. We're going to try Mare Nostrum ( Seafood) and Rib's and More. We also want to try the steak place. The USA doesn't recognize the Church wedding as a legal wedding either. 2 more weeks and we're in Mexico! Time definietely flies! Now it's just packing and unpacking of stuff!

Hi Sue! Congratulations! These photos came out so beautifully! You look so radiant! The church looks looks so lovely and the flowers are my wedding colors too! I love the church in GP! I think it's the prettiest church of all the resorts =)

Hi Sue! I don't have permission to view your attachments. =( Can't see the pictures. I'm having my Catholic ceremony on April 19, 2013. How many guests did you have?

Thanks Ladyluck for your very extensive and detailed post! Congratulations to you!

Hi Claire and Palladium Brides! So one month till our big day! I have yet to email Vanessa and Father Jorge Castaneda, the priest who is officiating our wedding, the Nihil Obstat. Two days ago our parish priest informed us that we need to complete the Prenuptial Investigation form before the archdiocese has to issue the Nihil Obstat ( permission to wed at another parish). We had to answer about 18 questions. It pretty much asks if we have come on our own free will to mary each other (not a shotgun wedding) and that we're not related. We're in love and we're clearly not related lol. I'm so anxious about getting that letter already! This is a big deal especially when we want to get married in the Church! I have yet to print out our missalettes. My cousin is on vacation in the Philippines and she's picking up my gown,our mothers gowns and my flowergirl's gown while she's there. It's custom made by one of Asia's finest couturiers, Edward Teng. I've emailed him just like I have with all our vendors in Mexico. I love his beadwork. All I did was email my measurements and he designed a one of a kind gown that would suit my bodytype. He emailed me about four sketches until I decided on the one I love. So anxious to get the gown already! What else? I pretty much have to delegate family and friends to carry some wedding paraphernalia like candles, pillows, etc. I have to get my hair cut, get gel mani and pedi, and pay off our vendors all within the month! Hopefully everything gets delivered! I'll post pics and reviews once we're back. Have fun planning!

Hi Ladies! Wow! We're all in a planning frenzy! I know I am! I have a month till my Big Day! Thank you for the compliments on the gown! Crestena- I love your favor ideas! The maracas are so cute! I met Vanessa Roldan last year when we checked out GP. She is very sweet and very knowledgeable. She's very good in answering emails. Someone who goes above and beyond deserves a big tip! Claire- I booked AGI Tours last year and they were excellent! We got to GP in 45 minutes! I booked them again this year with 6 other passengers since they booked the same flight as us. Just waiting on the Nihil Obstat as required by the Catholic Church. So anxious about it but I know it'll come in time. I hope my dress comes in and I fit in it!

I was beginning to say.. What we all have in common is we all decided on doing an intimate wedding with our nearest and dearest in a beautiful tropical setting!

Welcome to the forum, Carlotta! Congratulations! You'll find so much infomation here. I agree with MyTye2B, your English is just fine =) The Gazebo is such a romantic place to say I do! I witnessed a wedding there when I visited Grand Palladium last year. It was just magical! We are all doing something a little different with our weddings but what we have in common is So girls, my sister also my matron of honor threw a beautiful surprise bridal shower for me yesterday! She had rented a hall and hired a comedienne to entertain. I don't know how she did it but she pulled off a great job. We played games, drank mimosas, laughed like crazy! Thank you for the compliment on the gown, MyTye2B! I am so excited! Crestena's gown is lovely! I adore Shayla's gown! Love that bright sash! It really popped in the underwater photos. I think I'll do donations as well. I originally wanted to do M&M's but I was afraid they would melt. I love gummi bears and swedish fish but I'm adding those to the OOT bags. Gonna hit up Walmart in Playa del Carmen and pick those up so I don't have to shlep those in the luggage. So donations to Pancreatic Cancer Research in honor of Dad would be the next choice.
-
Anyone doing favors? If so, what are they? I still haven't decided since we are giving our guests OOT bags.

Hi Jengullage, If you have around 20 guests you don't have to pay for te $50-60 dinner. You pay if you have over 40 guests. They would section off part of a restaurant. They usually do Portofino. There is a section outside that's similar to la Laguna The ceiling decorations are $150.They also do lanterns for each table free. They also decorate the floor going up La Laguna with floor lanterns also free. La Laguna is one of the open air buffets. I saw the choices for flowers and they are so pretty. Vanessa Roldan sent me designs and prices of flowers from Casa Narciso.I actually booked with Vanessa Jaimes. Her prices are lower. Your choice for of outfits sounds wonderful! The colors will really pop! The sand does get hot during the day. Flipflops are def the way to go!

Omygosh! 87 Shayla, your pictures came out so beautifully! I hope my TTD comes out just as nice as yours! 50 more days and counting for my wedding in April 19!! Vanessa Roldan said that she can do a little bit of a rehearsal at the Church without the priest the night before our big day. Right now I'm still waiting on other guests to book their hotel and flights. Still waiting on six guests! My gown is being made in the Philippines. It's been a difficult process since I can't actually try out the gown and feel the material. I have a girlfriend who had her gown done by Edward Teng. The gown came with accessories liek the veils and garter, candles, matching ring pillow, coins, gloves, and clutch bag. I just went on the website and posted my measurements on EdwardTeng.com. He emailed me back with prices and packages. He sent me 4 sketches until I decided on this gown. He's sent me pics of updates on the gowns. My cousin went back there to pick my gown, the flowergirl, my mother's , FMI, and Mike's aunt's gowns. I'm so anxious! I just want that gown to get here safe. Mike is so much taller than me too so I'll def be wearing heels! I bought wedge flipflops for my aching tootsies for later in the reception. I have to print out the wedding programs, waiting on the Nihil Obstat from our parsih priest, and the gowns!

Congratulations Shayla! It's so great you had an awesome time! I'm looking forward to some pics! Which meal did you choose?

Hi Nancy! Go to the Forum " Any Grand Palladium Brides?"

Not quite sure. I wanted a DJ and he gave me a package that included cold fireworks, smoke, bubbles and props for your guests ( hats, feather boas, fun sunglasses, etc) . The dance floor was extra ( same price as the package). Perhaps your wedding coordinator would have an idea where to get just the dance floor and cold fireworks. She would have contacts.

Anyone of Italian, Polish or German descent? Are there any special dances or traditions that I can add into the celebrations? Thanks in advance for any ideas you may have!
