Dina, I finally figured out how to compress my pictures, so I could upload them on the site. Thanks for the link. I can't believe we were so close to each other! I would have hopped, skipped and jumped over to see you if I'd realized it! 11.21.13 will always be such a special day, and I'm glad to share it with you guys Thanks for the lovely comments ladies. We're very lucky to have had such amazing photographers and they guaranteed our photos within 6 weeks of the wedding, but we got them after 3.5 weeks! Victor Herrera photography is really top notch, they were such a good choice. I can't wait to see the rest of your pictures! Please post when you get them! Sheena - now I can finally sign my name, without fear of someone seeing my dress before the big day Here's a link to my ridiculously long review, if anyone is interested. http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/index.php?app=reviews&module=reviews&section=reviews&do=view&id=4275

You are so welcome. I hope it can help you and other brides with some decision making. Thank you for the compliments! It was actually the same dress - the lace overlay comes off! I didn't know this when I picked it out but it sure sold the dress for me. We definitely had the best day and our guests had such a wonderful time. Everyone said they wished their wedding had been so stress free and relaxing. It also helps that you're on vacation with all of your guests, so you get a whole week to spend with them chatting, instead of just a few hours at the reception. Gloria is such a peach, just as sweet in real life as in her emails. The resort photographers are great, I wouldn't worry about anything

Karijean, you inspired me to write the last of my review and post it, so here's the link: http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/index.php?app=reviews&module=reviews&section=reviews&do=view&id=4275 Hopefully that works, but if not, it's under the 'Resort Reviews' under ERC. It's a super long review as I tried to write about everything I could think of and remember. To answer your questions, I didn't bring any chair sashes or table linens. I didn't have room in our luggage for that stuff and I realized that I really didn't need it. I liked the look of the beach wedding set up with white chair covers and white linens hanging from the gazebo. Yes, the martini bar is still there and it's fantastic! I had read on this thread before about people having a hard time getting them to serve the cake. The servers came up to me after dinner and asked if I'd like the cake served. I said, yes, not thinking about the fact that we should cut the cake first. Ooops! So they served it, we ate it, marveled at how delicious it was (tres leches) and went on with the night. It wasn't until our photographers asked if we wanted to cut the cake that I said, "Oh whoops, my bad, it's gone!" I think they were more upset than we were about not getting those photos. Here's a link to our photographer's blog. They've posted a few photos from our wedding, if you're interested: http://victorherrerablog.com/?p=5019

Thanks for the link Dina. I tried it, but my photos are too big in size because they're from the photographers and I don't know how to reduce them. So I'll just leave a link to the photographer's site. Problem solved! http://victorherrerablog.com/?p=5019

Hi Girls, Not sure if any of you are still reading this site anymore. I procrastinated on posting pictures over the holidays, and I'd love to put some up but now I can't figure out how to add pictures on here. It looks like you need a URL to do it, but I just want to add the ones saved on my computer. Does anyone know? We had an amazing time and the most fun. A destination wedding was so perfect for us!
