Hey Girls - I just wanted to let you know that Perla sent me her latest invoice and it didn't include extra charges for not using the house DJ SWANK. I did have to pay the $300 outside vendor fee, but nothing in addition. I am using SWANK for the rehersal dinner slideshow, so maybe they aren't charging more because of that. Anyway, I'll let you know if I get hit with any extra random fees.

 

Also - in case someone was wondering....DJ Carlos emailed me and offered to meet me at the hotel when I arrived to go over the wedding details. He has been great!

 

Also - quick shout out to Missy - I just hope this temporary "banning" doesn't keep her from getting back on-line when it is over to keep providing advise. She has been so helpful for me...I just wanted to thank her and all of you other girls! THANKS!

 

...I am leaving on MONDAY for CANCUN!!! YEY!!!

Yamille, How exciting...You are SO close!!

 

OOOH So excited for you Meredith!! Can't wait to hear all the wonderful details!!

 

Quick question...I emailed SWANK like 2 weeks ago for a quote and still haven't heard back. I'm wondering if I have the right email addresss... Do you still have it?

 

Thanks!

Hi Meredith,

 

I wish you a Wonderful time!!! Also, Carlos is fantastic- he met us at the hotel a couple of days before the wedding, and it was great to go over things, and just know him before the day. You are in very good hands.

 

I emailed w/ Missy yesterday- she sends her best to everyone, and can't wait to be back!

[Meredith]

Thanks so much girls! I can't wait to get down there and just relax before the wedding!

 

I have been using this email address for SWANK:

[email protected]

They have been pretty good about emailing back quickly.

 

-I think they are probably both great DJ's, but I just can't say enough about Carlos...he is going to provide the sound for the ceremony (including mics for the guitar that my soon to be father-in-law will be playing) for FREE. He has gone above and beyond the call of duty.

 

...only 6 more days till I leave

the email i have for him is [email protected]

Meredith! Wow have a wonderful time. That really snuck right up fast it seems...

[Meredith]

Yeah - it did come up fast! I thought I had 3 weeks at one point, and I checked the calandar...and it was only 2 weeks left..yikes! Things are going pretty smooth - that is the beauty of the destination wedding. I found them to be much less time consuming on the planning. I will take lots of photos and someone will have to show me how to upload them when I get back

There is a fee of $2 per person that gets paid to the govt or something because the reef is considered a State park. You have to sign up for this in advance. They take you out on a boat to the reef to snorkel. Two of our guests did it and said for $2 its totally worth it to go.
