opps..never mind. I see that you already have a pricelist.lol.

 

[Christina18]

opps..nevermind. I see you got the info you needed :-)

Hey! Thats really crazy, what are the chances. We're travelling those same dates as well! Are you flying air transat? Sorry about the restaurant!...we'd booked it quite a ways back. What location are you getting married at? Did you decide to do the poolside reception?

 

We're pretty much all done our planning I'm just debating how to do my hair and what flowers I want...just got our itinerary the other day so now I feel quite relieved.

Hey Christina!

 

I would love a copy of that pricelist... if you wouldn't mind sending me a PM with it, that would be awesome. (Or should I send you a PM with my email address? I'm new and relatively clueless about BDW procedures.) Thanks so much!

Yep. Air Transat..leaving at 6am on the 14th? Did you guys get upgraded to first class? I was just kidding about the restaurant.lol..as long as they don't make me eat seafood, I'm happy. We decided against the poolside reception..we're running out of money.haha. I have a guest doing my hair and make-up so the best hairdresser at the resort is all yours ;-) What time is your wedding at? ours is at 3pm on the beach. Are you guys doing the private reception? We'll have to make sure to have our receptions at different locations..I'm sure we'll see you at the nightclub though..I'll be the one in the white dress.lol

 

I'm at the same point as you...done planning until we meet with Eugenia..I can't wait to get down there. How many guests do you guys have?

Yep! Thats the same flight...no not upgraded to first class but we get some extra perks being the bride and groom. Not quite sure yet what they all are but extra baggage allowance and free seat selection are a couple of them. Ours is at 1pm on the beach so yours is probably the next one following! We decided to so the poolside reception...2 hours only though to cut back on the cost. We only have a total of 20 people including us...possibly 23 going.

Well that works out then..the poolside reception sounds great!  I was worried about having our receptions in the same area.lol..that would be a bit much I think. I'm relieved that we're both at the same point in the planning process...Let me know if you have any questions. I'm sure we will see eachother at the airport..I can't imagine there will be many 20+ groups boarding the plane.

Hi Kim,

 

Yes we are having it at the beach.

You can email DJ Bijian at  [email protected]  (http://www.mayanvibes.com)    We paid a deposit with PayPal.  He’s done lots of weddings the resort and is familiar with all the wedding coordinators. I just sent him our song list, so excited!

 

He’s also doing Patourn’s wedding the day before mine!

 

It feels like my emails with Eugenia have hit a wall.  I haven’t heard from her in a month.  I had so many questions in my last email. She replied to a few of them but for the rest she simply said we will discuss it when you arrive.

Have you heard from Eugenia in the past couple of weeks at all? Your wedding is coming up pretty quick! Less than a month you must be getting so excited.
