I wanted my makeup to be from M.A.C. because they are the best for the wedding pictures and i read that their makeup products are mixed with other brands. They did a good job with my mom though.

Yeah, she and another makeup artist came to my room. No, she didn't but she put some kind of primer and foundation. My makeup stayed until the end of the night. I think the pros at Spaazul can go to your room.

I'm nervous about everyone not knowing what they are doing....or do I just line everything up myself and tell everyone? Maybe I should tell everyone a time the day before to meet, show them the gazeebo (since most are staying at Royal and wedding is at Real) and do a dinner. Is it hard to get reservations for about 30 ppl? How far in advance should I make the reservation...a day...a week before?

Actually, we didn't go over how the ceremony will go but I had already had a practice with the wedding party before the mexico so it went well. For a legal ceremony, it's vows, exchange of rings, signing the certificate, and declaration of husband and wife.

You can write up how you want the ceremony to be and i am sure they will do what you want since it's symbolic.

I have a question about the outside vendor fee. If you bring in a photographer and his assistant, does it cost $350 total, or is that $350 each?

You will love the royal laya del carmen i have shoot several weddings there is a great place the people is realy nice and also the the wedding coordinators, the only problem i see on this is that they do not accept childrens there but they may can stay at PORTO REAL is from the same company and they allow kids there maybe this can help.

LOL LOL LOL you make me laugh! I totally would be rockin' the afro with all that humidity! I have naturally tight CURLY hair and after it's blown out or had a flat iron on it it will bounce right back into a curl at the first sign of moisture. Definitely need someone good.

Jess Fernando still hasn't sent me anything on how to pay him. I would like to put a deposit down or do as much before we go as possible so I don't have to take cash for everything. Did you already pay him?

AHAHAH no seriously I will look scary lol


OMG you haven't ya you def need to give him a deposit. I know it seems weird but you send it to his sisters address. I gave him 50% because the thing is hair prices vary for each girl depending so you really can't pay that part in full until the day.

I am emailing you the info right now for the deposit

Mine isnt too tight, but def curly. I always prepare before going to the beach by leaving conditioner (not the leave-in kind...regular lol) and combing it through because when it starts drying after being in the ocean...dios mio! Yikes.....

Yet another reason I am leaning toward having my hair up for ceremony lol

Lisa, are you still planning to get married legally in Mexico? It turns out that Texas does not recognize any marriages performed out of the state! On the dept of state, it says that any marriages performed abroad is legal in U.S. and that's why we went ahead with the legal ceremony. I am seriously pissed.

[jesmcan]

omg Lady_Di! so now what do you have to do?

[Lady_Di]

not sure...i am doing more research by talking with other texan brides who got married legally in Mexico. I hope we won't have to get married again because that would suck.
