Hi ladies!! Still on my honeymoon but had to share an experience witg you all. My wedding was 5 days into our trip. After day one I could already feel my body changing from all the salty and high calorie food. So I really watched what I ate and tried to drink as much water as possible, and swan every morning. I also did pushups, situps and squats in my room. I am so glad I did!! When my sisters were lacing my dress they couldn't make it any tighter, the corset was as small as it could go! I didnt realize until the next day when my husband (!!!) Was doing the dress up for our ttd photos how tight it was, I was amazed. I had to share some pics with you all who have been so supportive!

Julienna, you definitely made the right decision, our wedding was everything I could have asked for and more. Will post more when I get back home, but it was a great and amazing day!!!!

We had the most amazing wedding! would love to write a ton, but am enjoying the first day of our honeymoon. Hope to write when I get back!

My Mom took this one

Some pics

Had the wedding of my dreams. It was almost surreal!!! All the best to those of you to still be married. Enjoy the day, it really does fly by.

The weather has been great so far for us. Hoping for blue skies and no rain Thursday!!

We had our meeting with Ramon this morning. He is fantastic. He made great suggestions to us. The meeting went well. We went over everything in our planning form and he double checked everything. answered our questions. Then he showed us the wedding location and a back up in case of rain. I feel that he explained everything very well and knows what he is doing. We have complete confidence that our day will be great We aren't using the speakers, but I am positive that you can use a computer with the ones they have. The resort is great, we love it. Just hoping for no rain on Thursday!!!!!!!

I leave for the NOW tomorrow. I can't believe our trip is finally here, and I can't believe I will be marrying my best friend in 6 days! I can barely sleep out of pure excitement! I will keep an eye out for accessibility to the wedding locations and report when I come back. Anything else you ladies want to know while I am down there? Ah so excited!

I can't believe we leave tomorrow. I am so excited I can barely sleep!!! Was up at 5:30 this morning. I hope I have packed everything... Any last minute things I might be forgetting??

Only by an hour though, so not a big deal. I had to pack early. My FI lives in another city and in order to pack to ensure we had everything I had to start at least two weeks early - last weekend. This weekend when he visited he brought everything for the final list! Everything is either in our suitcase or carry on, save for a few final items! MrsHK - thanks for the update on the weather. The forecast has been predicting 90%POP all week, so it's good to hear that isn't the case. Looks hot though! Can't wait! Off to pick up my dress from the seamstress!!!

Huge relief to have that done. I just can't wait to be on that plane down to Mexico with my soon-to-be husband! (Hope the weather forecast improves for the Mayan Riviera - right now lots of rain for the week we are there! )

Amanda, you looked so beautiful on your wedding day. I went through all of your pictures and they are awesome! Were they all by the resort photographer? Everything looked great at your wedding! I wish you and your husband nothing but the best as you begin this new journey together!

Thanks so much for your wonderful review! Your daughter looked so beautiful! I am glad to hear that everything worked out so well. I am under two weeks away and have not heard from the WC's at all, but I am ok with that! Confident that everything will work out.

We have an eclectic mix of music in the ceremony so far: Cranberries, Sigur Ros, Beatles, Bob Marley. Just need an upbeat recessional song! MelB (I keep imagining you're a badass Spice Girl) - hope you're having fun in Jamaica and that you got everything packed! I feel like I'm nervous but I'm not sure what to be nervous about? When I think about it, all the important parts are sorted out. We got my FI a white shirt and dress shoes yesterday, despite his protestations that he would go shirtless under his suit as it'll be hot there! hahaha. I love him. We're finishing up our music playlist and that'll be the last item. You crack me up! I feel the same way - I am super nervous and feel like I am forgetting something huge, but all of the important stuff is DONE. Everything is all set, it's just finalizing the packing and picking up some minor small things. But why am I feeling so stressed? I am having trouble sleeping, I am super tired and just an overwhelmed feeling! WHY? Your FI sounds a lot like mine.... He wanted to wear shorts he thought it would be so hot. I have assured him that in November it will not be as hot as last time we went (the end of May). Not too much longer!

I just finished half of the Thank You cards from my shower. Oh man my hand is dying. Feeling accomplished though, as that is something to cross off of the list to do before leaving for the wedding! Yay! Not much left to do now!

I leave on the 16th of this month. I can't believe how soon it is! Two weeks today until the big day! I am pretty laid back about how the wedding will go. I am confident in the wedding coordinators, I know they will do a great job!

Lucy, I am sorry that the seamstress made you feel so badly. It's really unfortunate when people don't think of clients as actual other human beings!!! Know that you look awesome! Continue what you have been doing with your diet and exercise for the next two weeks and go to that appointment knowing that the seamstress knows what she is doing with the dress (but not how to handle talking to people!). If she takes the dress out a little it's ok! There's nothing wrong with that - you want the dress to fit amazingly well and to feel comfortable, sexy, and AMAZING! Remember, no one needs to know what size the dress is or how much it needed to be taken in or out, they are all going to think you look phenomenal! When you go for your appointment, ensure the seamstress has you sit in the dress. My seamstress said many forget to have brides do that and the dresses are so tight around the hips that brides can't sit or kneel for their wedding ceremonies and receptions! Though I wanted my dress to be super tight around the hips to show off my figure (oh yeah!), I also want to make sure I am able to sit in the dress!!! Where are you having your dress altered?

I ate like a pig on Monday after the race, and now need to get my diet back on track, now that I'm not training for the marathon any more! My legs need a rest this week, but I think next week we're going to dive back in to Insanity - and we'll be four weeks out from our departure to Mexico! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Running a marathon must be such an accomplishment! You must feel like a million bucks! (maybe not literally, but emotionally?) Super excited for you that it's only 4 weeks away until you leave. This saturday will mark the one week until we leave! Today is two weeks until the wedding. Ahhhh!!! Panicking here a bit! Lately I have been feeling super fat. I tried on all of my bathing suits and feel horrible in them. . This is probably just me being super hard on myself. I know once I get down to Mexico I will feel great about my body, but man it sucks not feeling hot right before you leave!!!

Our guests literally thanked US for opening their eyes to this resort and for choosing to do a destination wedding. We had a beautiful welcome party on the beach, our ceremony on the beach terrace and reception on tequila terrace. We wouldn't have changed a thing! I have tons of pics of all location set ups thanks to my awesome guests. Can't wait to share!! Congratulations! So glad to hear that everything was amazing. Enjoy your honeymoon!!! Can't wait to see some photos and hear more when you get back!
