Moon Palace 2008 & 2009 Brides - POST HERE!

[Betsy]

Hey MP brides - I need a favor! When we were there for our wedding (3 months ago) we got a bottle of wine delivered to our room almost every day - just from room service - well unfortunately we didn't bring any home with us, I guess we forgot. Last night Aaron was saying that the only thing he wished was that we would've brought one home to drink on our first wedding anny. How sweet is that!! So my favor is would one of you future MP brides bring one home for us? We prefer the white wine - and it is free FYI but I will pay you shipping of course to mail it to me once you get back! I am going to surprise Aaron if this all works out - just wanted to put it out there! Thanks in advance!!

Betsy, if you don't get one before i go down in Sept, remind me and I'll pick one up for you. We're going Sept 25-29.

Thank you dez! That would be so awesome! I was brainstorming last night - like I wonder if I called the MP if they would ship me one - then I thought - DUH I will just ask the BDW girls!!

We will be having cocktails/horderves on the Bugambilias Terrace from 6-7. I should be finished with pictures around 6:30 and heading over for cocktails around then! Maybe you can stop by the terrace around 6:30 and we can meet! That would be so cool! Melissa

Melissa - I'm sorry I have been MIA - but I've been at a conference and then I am spending some time with my sister here in new york =]. I'd love to stop by and see how your day went... I don't want to intrude on your special day. Maybe we can meet the day after even. you let me know.

Hi Siobhan!
Hope you are enjoying your time with your sister!
Sure, the day after sounds great too! Whichever works for you!

Hey!!
Yea, I can't believe how fast it flew by! I'm a little nervous, but mostly excited.
I hope my MIL doesn't aggravate me too much while we are there, LOL!

As for plans, I think we're pretty much all set.

How is your planning going? It'll be here before you know it! : )

Is that when they typically take pictures?

They told us before we got there and at the meeting 2 days before that he wouldn't read it. Then all of a sudden he starts reading the paragraph we had for the sand ceremony...soooo I guess they will surprise you?? I don't know, I never asked because I completely forgot. Either way, it was a nice surprise. We had about a hour in between the 2 which was plenty of time because I was so tired of posing for pictures by then!

Sharla - I love your photos - it looked amazing!

I hope to have my civil ceremony at the Chapel Gazebo and then a cocktail reception followed right after the ceremony - then we can have our pics done at the beach while our guests enjoy some tappas and bevies.

Can I assume that you can do this are they flexible? What was your planning experience like once you arrived at the resort?
