Everything looks great. Haha those isle runners can be dangerous too. After watching my wedding ceremony I was shocked - groomsmen tripped, me and dad got hung up on it and then my dad almost tripped again sitting down. I would have preferred the sand! Thankfully noone literally fell. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The airport is in Cancun so wouldn't it be close if it's within 10 mins? I'd have to look at a map. It would be about 45 from playa del Carmen so I can see that, but a cab may not be that expensive or a tour. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Me too. All the time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If it makes you feel better my resort was on the news! ha! and it was still perfect (minus my dad's incident). Everyone has such a different perspective and opinion on things, that it's possible those bad reviews were from people who wouldn't have been happy in Trump Tower.

I didn't block you, I love living vicariously thru all of you now

I agree, that is why I won't ask my dad to follow thru on the honeymoon promise. I know it's on his mind and we will leave it there We had a few large sum money gifts and one I actually said I had a hard time accepting - she told me she wasn't taking it back and to move on. I know sometimes that is a bit taboo too, but it was really weighing on me.

Congrats on your wedding day today!!!! Can't wait for your review on here or FB

I agree! Anything with measurements and/or cutting I suck at. Shawn did a lot of for me.

Well said, @@beckys98 I think most of us on here have been hurt in one way or another. I won't repeat my dramatic story once more, but someone who I thought was my bestfriend didn't even acknowledge my engagement or want to be involved in anything - I tried a couple times, confronted her to make amends on whatever the issue was, and then tried one more time and walked away. It's been almost a year - I got engaged April 1, 2014 and I easily haven't talked to her for 10 months and I am A-OK with that. I accepted that it happened for whatever reason she had, that I tried, and that I walked away from the drama. I don't regret it for one moment. good luck and hugs!

Darn!!!! Have you considered just regular paint and not spray paint? Unsure if it would work differently. I always get these great ideas thinking it sounds easy and then it isn't LOL!! Belt is awesome! 5 months

I agree with most posts. If you are uncomfortable to ask, it is probably your gut instinct as said above. I have always been very independent and if I want something I get it myself. My mom bailed me out once way back in my early 20's and I have never asked again. My mom did pass away though and my dad is NOT like my mom in that way haha! With that said, I never even considered asking for help from any parents to pay for the wedding. We were just thankful people were paying to attend our wedding. It was not in our budget to pay for anyone, but for those that do it's a great gesture. My dad did offer to pay for our honeymoon - he offered to pay for our second week in Mexico but we were unable to make it work. That said, he offered to pay our way to Vegas. I booked Vegas and I haven't told him. I will not ask him for that money, but if he offers it that is a bonus. We booked a hotel and such that was in our price range and we are prepared to foot the bill. Just the way I am. If they offer to help that is fantastic, but don't let the in laws make you feel guilty they aren't. They need to ensure their families are ok too and also get their way to Mexico. Anything after that is a bonus IMO!!!! Hugs

Congrats!! My friend stayed there under a month ago and LOVED it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes! Most resorts have smaller, flimsy cups....so if you give them a larger insulated one it cuts down on trips to the bar and keeps their drinks cold! Mexico's cups aren't a bad size (the 2 resorts I've been too) but when I was in Cuba it literally only held half a can of beer, no joke! We always travel with our own bubba mug!

I like top 40 music so we had a lot of that with some country. But fun interactive songs - things like gangnam style, YMCA, Macarena, that Cuban line dancing song, etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I looked at the pics in your gallery! Your dress is gorgeous and I love how you are tying in the gold in the jewelry that is on the dress. You will look beautiful.

I had that app too. You should get it. I deleted it now though Hehehe proudly Canadian. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not everyone wears a ring so I'd be curious to hear if it's territory or not. Let us know. That to me seems like something possibly optional. I think it's fair to tell your priest you are having a wedding in Mexico and that you'd like to keep as much as possible for this ceremony and so you'd like to only have a ceremony back home with what's necessary to make it legal. Hopefully he will understand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was high 200's when I made my wedding webpage (had a count down ticker) and I've now been married close to 2 months. It will whip by before you even know it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You can do it. I am an anal, OCD, controlling of the details type person... So if I can let go so can you heheheh. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sometimes I wish I had the same as my kids but since it's more and more common not to, it's less hassle. Some 15 years ago my sister had to prove they were hers all the time. Upset her deeply Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great pic and that's awesome. I may have LOL. I have spelt my name wrong on occasion, I mean it's possible Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ahhhh love it. Your ring is gorgeous and just love how men can get so creative may is just around the corner. Can't wait for more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ohhh I love that idea!! if we had talked some 9 years ago (lol) I may have given my kids both of our last names!!! And your last names are soooo dreamy too! (mine is far from dreamy lol).....

I may have said to husband 'is this an April Fool's joke? ' heheheh Mine isn't that large either. I told husband way way before we got engaged that I would rather spend the money on something else. That I didn't need anything large and elaborate. Ok sure I wouldn't mind it but LOVE my ring (which in the end I also picked) and wouldn't change it for the world!!

Forsure... I just love to hear why people chose one way or another. My sister has a male friend who took his wife's last name!! You make a valid point. With all the electronics and stuff these days, kids are in a totally different world!!!
