WTF?!?! Where did you find this information? And why weren't you informed by one of the michigan coordinators? I would think they would know all of this. Are you sure?

Grrr...suxorz

We currently have a legal ceremony scheduled, but FI has been thinking lately that it will be too much of an extra hassel since he is a resident alien on a visa (he's Canadian). I am so pissed for you!!

That totally sucks!!!! I hope everything turns out for you!!!!! I would be soooooooooooo pissed!

Question ladies, I'm sorry if this is a repeat. Do you have to pay a vendor's fee for a hair stylist or make-up artists to come to your room? I need to start deciding on my hair and makeup. I'm so worried that no one will know how to manage my hair. It is very thick and not relaxed.

Yes there s a vendor fee for make up and hair if they are from outside the resort.

Hoowwweevverrrr in true Royal fashion some brides were told if they come for only three hours they don't have to and others were able to get them in with out the fee.

So I would expect the fee but you also have the chance of getting lucky.

Holy crap I would be SOOOOOO pissed! I'm definitely going to look into this!

Jess thanks for Fernando's information and the tips, you're a life saver!!

LadyDi - I hope the wedding will be legal in Texas and you won't have to do it again! So sorry to hear that! Julie told me they could certify the marriage there and it would be valid in the states but maybe that is the general rule and every state has their own laws?? Hope it all works out

[msglave]

Any previous brides that have gotten married in the gazebo, is it extremely windy? I have a veil and a blusher but am worried about the blusher blowing crazy in the wind. Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

It clearly says that any legal marriages performed abroad is valid in U.S. BUT it is up to every state/county if they want to accept them which sucks! I would check with the county you live in. We thought it was fine and thought federal gov trumps over state/county. Harris county doesn't recognize any legal marriages outside of the state so i am not sure if it is the same with any other county in Texas. DH is going to a Mexican consulate this Friday and try to get this issue sorted out.

msglave - your welcome I think on something like this it is better to try your luck and see when you get there. The best outcome you don't get the fee the worst you say you didn't know and they give you the fee.

 

Niiki - your welcome
