Ya- thats why we went with the private poolside reception. I just don't like the idea of sharing a restaurant with others
But I guess we won't have a choice if it rains..lol

The price for the poolside dinner/reception includes a DJ - so we'll just use him and my WC said we can also bring our iPod if we want him to play certain songs

Aquamaniac- Were getting married on the Beach in the Akumal section (the hammock.. I think that's what its called). How about you?!

Ladies are you bringing a lot of decor with you? My list of decor keeps getting bigger . Also, what are you guys doing for guest favors? I was thinking since I'm arriving a few days before my wedding I would go into town and buy picture frames for my guests.

Hi Ladies, can any one help?????......just trying to find out about witnesses for the wedding. I am coming from the UK, and our paperwork says that we need 4 witnesses, they need to be in the country 4 days before wedding and they are not allowed to be related to the bride/groom. Was all set until we found out that two of our friends who we were counting on to be witnesses may now not be able to get time off work to come to mexico at all. Are witnesses allowed to be cousins of the bride/groom??   Our wedding isnt until Jan but still bit stressed as dont want to find random ppl to act as witnesses.  :-(

Have you talked to your WC about this situation? Usually, resorts can provide witnesses if needed so don't stress!

So our wedding date is 12/3/11! I just confirmed dinner at Frutos del Mar at 6:30. My WC mentioned that other guests will be dining at that time too. She said that it can get crowded. Has any other brides already been through this? I am just wondering what to expect. Will we be somewhat secluded or is other guests going to be watching us?

We're staying in the Tulum section, but getting married at the Akumal beach location (not the hammock one). What day do you arrive?

It may be nice to have someone to turn to with such close dates, feel free to email me at [email protected] to chat more!
