Hi Beautiful Brides
We are finally getting our song list together. Music is super duper important to me, but I sorta always knew that I would insert some of my favorite romantic songs into my wedding somehow. Here's my ceremony music program:
Prelude:
"Kiss the Rain" by Yiruma - performed on the piano by my brother
"Leaves on the Seine" by David Lanz - performed on the piano by my brother
Bridesmaids & Ringbearer's Procession:
"Come Away With Me" by Norah Jones
Bride's Entrance:
"First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" cover by Leona Lewis
(I prefer Roberta Flack, but the instrumental in Leona's version flows really nicely right after Come Away With Me.)
Sand Ceremony:
"Mariage d'Amour" by Richard Clayderman performed on the piano by my brother
Couple's Exit:
"Ho Hey!" by Lumineers
First Dance:
"Make You Feel My Love" by Adele
Dance with the Parents:
????? Any suggestions?????
What are your picks for your wedding?? Please share!!
xoxo,
J

Hi Sgreen99! I love everything about your wedding!! Thank you for posting such amazing photos and all the great intel on the resort, etc.
Did you have to choose a set menu for everyone at the wedding? I think the presidential package only comes with dinner for 10 people, and everything is extra. My coordinator is telling me that I have to pick the exact same meal for everyone. Was that the same thing you ran into as well? We're thinking of going for the surf and turf (steak & lobster) option.

Hi Ladies - I've been considering whether I should buy an inexpensive dress to trash for the photoshoot (found one for $450 including tax and alterations) or to wear my actual wedding dress. I think I might stick with my own dress because it's special and way more beautiful than the inexpensive one. However - after returning home, we're having a local wedding reception and I'm a little worried that my dress might be too dirty for the reception back in town. Has anyone done this before? Do you guys have any suggestions? I don't think if we'll be able to travel to any cenotes. But I was really excited about getting into the ocean or swimming pool at least. Any feedback appreciated!

Hi Beautiful Brides!! I was really excited about sharing posts on this website and starting my own planning journal. But then life happened and things got crazy! Anyways - our wedding is coming up in about 3 months! Fernanda had sent us a long list of documents to fill out - such as the processional songs and order of the bridal party walking out, top restaurant choices for the rehearsal dinner, etc. We're really excited! I actually been considering a wedding videographer for the wedding - because I think I will regret it if I didn't get one. Did anyone hire one? Do you have any recommendations? I've researched a few and they're quite expensive! I'd really appreciate any feedback at all

When in August are you going? We get married there on the 7th August! :-)

I chose the Presidential Package - and that includes the Palapa for 4 hours, and the ceremony will take place on the beach that's by the palapa. I think the beach by the spa is much more beautiful and less rocky - but had no idea that it would be $5000 mexican pesos. That's still pretty steep for just half an hour. Everything adds up!!! I'm gonna have to eat crackers for the holidays! lol

Hello Grand Sirenis Brides!! I am getting married in early August 2013. Yeniza has been mostly great with answering a lot of my questions. But I just want to be able to check my info against other brides who are getting married there or have already been married there. We decided on this resort because it's a beautiful resort, and because my fiance proposed to me on the beach there. I would love to get married by the patch of beach that's by the spa and is a bit more remote from the resort, but Yeniza has told me that this costs $5000 more for location change. Did anybody also experience this super high cost to choose the beach that's by the spa??
Trash the Dress....yes or no???

I agree!! I decided on "Rocking" my own dress because I love it so much - and no inexpensive dress I can purchase with my budget will make me feel that beautiful. I'm just gonna cross my fingers and hope that it comes back looking clean enough to wear for our reception back in our town a week later.![:D](https://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/cdn/emoticons/default_biggrin.png)
