Katryne

Here's a pic of the Marriachi band during dinner. They were all dressed up!

I wore allure 8950 in white. This is the best pic I could find, my bouquet seems always in the way! lol

Alright ladies, here are my pictures through facebook. I've made them public so you should be able to take a look. We have quite the sense of humor so beware.. lol The pics were taken by a friend of ours except for 17 of them that we got through our package Getting Ready: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.702633263084385&type=1&l=64673d4d3a Ceremony/supper/night: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.702656169748761&type=1&l=7853470161 Hacienda pics: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.702862849728093.1073741832.100000131537923&type=1&l=28480e8208 Trash the dress: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.703374073010304.1073741833.100000131537923&type=1&l=e163793443 Pics from Arrecife: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.693432624004449.1073741825.100000131537923&type=1&l=2d6a5e8b41 Enjoy!

Do we have the option to have it somewhere else? When she sent us the menu it had 3-4 choices for each of the apps, soups, mains, etc. so basically we have to all eat the exact same dish?? The guests can't choose from the options on the menu? I know for sure there are going to be some people who want chicken and some who want pasta...did everyone eat the same meal at yours then Kirsten? Seems crappy to make them eat all the same?!? You can ask if you can have a different restaurant but they might say no. And yes, over 30 people there is only one choice in the menu (except vegeterians). Under 30 you get two choices of the main course.

Re Marriachi band, we had the Unforgettable package and they played for 30-45 minutes during dinner, it was so cool. As the month of August advances, the chances of rain go higher. It was my second time there in August but I always went in the first and it was hot as hell but beautiful!

We gave an official count the day we met with the Maria, 3 days before the wedding

Can't believe I'm almost there! Leaving in 48 hours!!!! slowly freaking out.. packing for 5 is a little overwhelming!

Type in your name & your OH name, your BDW Forum name, wedding date & location in chronological order of the listing Once dates are past the older months can then be deleted Brides (& grooms) can see who is getting married on dates close to them . It is handy too as some wedding parties have shared the cost of some vendors (photographers in particular) AUGUST 2013 Samantha and Barry August 5 - Iberostar Maya Riviera Maya Mexico Katryne August 6 - Grand Bahia Principe Coba, Mayan Riviera Lauren and Tyrel August 19 - Grand Palladium White Sand, Riviera Maya, Mexico Cameshia & Patrick (Mimi127) August 24 - Secrets Wild Orchid, Montego Bay Heather & Jonathan (missde09) August 24 - Majestic Colonial, Punta Cana Chiquita & Eric August 27th- Beach Palace, Cancun, Mexico SEPTEMBER 2013 Taryn & Stephen (tarynm) September 1- Azul Beach, Puerto Morelos, Riviera Maya OCTOBER 2013 Melanie & Jesse (favorsmr) October 5-Dreams Resort & Spa, Punta Cana, DR Philippa & Simon (ladystardust) October 8 - Moon Palace Golf & Spa Donna & Brett (dondon84) October 11 - Moon Palace golf & spa Resort, Cancun Louise & Steve - (FutureMrsCorney) October 16 - Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort, Cancun Greg and Yvonne (Red 400) October 19 -Sunset da mona lisa or le reve NOVEMBER 2013 Paisley & Philip (2bmrstremblay) November 3 – Aboard the Carnival Magic, Galveston Texas, 7 Day Caribbean Cruise Shannon & Dennis - November 9, 2013 - Riu Palace Riviera Maya, Playe del Carmen MTRowse – November 11 - Bahia Principe Coba Sarah & Richard (futuremrswarner) November 12 - Bahia Principe Tulum Riviera Maya Pascale & Eric (Papoue) November 13 - Iberostar Rose Hall Beach, Montego Bay, Jamaica Ashley & Matthew (acote26) November 13 - Gran Bahia Principe Akumal, Riviera Maya Chelsea & Josh (ChelseaCat802) November 17 - Iberostar Rose Hall Suites, Montego Bay, Jamaica WorstBride – November 19 - Bahia Principe Akumal DinaQtobe November 21 - Now Sapphire, Riviera MayaWilliam & Tanya November 23 - Jamaica Holly86 November 26 - Gran Bahia Principe Akumal Beach Location - Poolside Reception J1031 - November 27 - Gran Bahia Principe Tulum Gazebo - Poolside Reception Michelle & Carlos - November 27 - Gran Caribe Real Cancun - Oceanfront Villa Robyn & Kevin (RobynEve) - November 10 - Moon Palace Resort Cancun - Beach Ceremony, Terrace Reception DECEMBER 2013 Alexis & Alexander (islandsunriseSa) December 14 - Atlantis Resort Paradise Island, Nassau, Bahamas JANUARY 2014 Liz & Jay (lgerry) January 15 - Grand Bahia Principe Akumal, Riviera Maya, Mexico Tara & Michael (TaraB) January 24 - Now Sapphire - Riviera Maya, Mexico Sara & Darryl (sarakelz) January 30- Grand Bahia Principe Coba, Riviera Maya, Mexico FEBRUARY 2014 Cherina and Michael (Cherina) February 14 - Moon Dance Villas- Negril, Jamaica - Our Reaffirmation Wedding will take place on our 14th marriage anniversary Ashley and Chris (ABCDWedding) February 2014 - Cancun Mexico Dawn and Mike (DiggityDawn) February 14 @ 1:00pm - Barcelo Maya Beach Resorts (Tropical/Colonial) Riviera Maya, Mexico Arin & Ryan (ArinMarie10) February 25th @ 4pm - Grand Bahia Principe Coba, Riviera Maya, Mexico MARCH 2014 Kerri and John (Kerriann5) March 8 - Hard Rock Hotel- Punta Cana APRIL 2014 Backy and Daniel Sandals Montego Bay Jamaica april 2014 Leanne & Robin (leanne1) April 2 2014 - Gran Bahia Principe Tulum Jana (JanaLP) & Kevin April 5, 2014 - Beaches Turks and Caicos Faleshia (flo628) and Chris April 19, 2014 - Cabo San Lucas Ashleigh and Richard Mallett (ashleighb) 23rd April - Gran Bahia Principe Riviera Maya Mexico MAY 2014 Jacqueline & Mark (DWBride2014) May 2 - Playacar Palace Tracey & Kevin May 9th - Gran Bahia Principe Tulum Beth & Jorge (HoyaBeth) May 10 - Be Tulum Ashley Delesline & Steven Campbell (HisFutureMrs) May 16 2014 Gran Bahia Principe Akumal Sharon & Ron (sbowie) May 17 - Hard Rock Hotel & Casino or Dreams Palm Beach - Punta Cana, DR Stacey & Jimmy (jburress21).

I bought my dress 12 months in advance, there's quite the delay for ordering sometimes so it's not too early!

I don't know what size you are but I found it here http://www.preownedweddingdresses.com/dresses/79788/Allure-8955-Size-2.html Also, I found a couple of websites that sell it but since it's a pre order they expect shipping around november 8th, might be worth a call though, you never know!

Have you tried contacting Allure directly?
