I thought SusieQ had her dinner at Gran Tortuga and her pics showed 6 chairs around a table so I got confused.. I'm sure all will work out one way or another! You're wedding is 4 months away but trust me this time is going to fly by for you!!

So when do you actually leave?? Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back! And trust me I know I'm already starting to feel like it is coming too soon for me!!! The weeks are flying by!

Did you hear that the Gran Tortuga was closed?? I'm not sure for how long or why?? See labgirl's post before mine!

Woah I have no idea... I hope it's open as I was really looking forward to that.. and it's all over my printed wedding materials. What is Don Pablo? Gourmet?

before we got to the resort, i emailed karla the room guest list (as requested by her) and then told her we had one guest coming who was not staying at the resort. that was nora (photog), and she paid her for her own day pass. then in our meeting with karla when we got to the resort, i told her we were having friends/family do our photos so we did not need the resort photog for the day, just the ceremony as we got 10 pics included in the wedding package.

we had 40 guests in total...and everyone is taking photos that they had no idea who was who anyways.

if you can bring someone with you as a guest then do it. if not...i suggest you meet with the resort photog before your wedding day to discuss details.

here's the link for all the restaurants at the GBP BAHIA-GOURMET.COM ::::

you can check the menu for all of them

the don pabalo is located near the tulum lobby by the buffet. it's a very elegant restaurant and the food is delicious.

One of our friends and a guest of ours was our photographer. When I told the WC that, she didn't even blink. She just said... ok! I think if they're from another resort and you get a day pass, its going to be harder to pretend they're a guest though. If they're a guest of the resort though, they can't prove they're not friends of yours!

Fantastic pics Wendy! I love the detail shots too!

A la carte restaurant questions: I know the men have to wear long pants but is there a dress code for women too? Can women wear shorts or capris or do they have to wear skirts/dresses?

[jjohnson30]

did anyone by their favors in mexico when they got there or did most of you bring them from home?? i know they said their is shopping at the resort but was wondering if their is anything for favors??
