Cails...as for the beer at the resort at the pool bars they only serve draft beer so there is no glass bottles there are two kinds, corona...yes corona draft sounds weird but not bad and the other kind is a dark beer im pretty sure it was negra modello in the room they have jose quervo, vodka, rum, and whisky dispensor and the fridges are stocked with bottled water coke, coke light, a sprite kinda soda and glass bottle coronas

Yes we did! I literally googled apostille services and it came up with a bunch of agencies that do this, I'm in Ontario though, but it should do the same for you. It isn't cheap, about $300 and they also get it your birth certificates legalized by the Mexican Embassy in your Province. You will need a long form birth certificate to do this.
All in all, the process took me about 4 weeks, to get the long form birth certificates, send it to get apostilled and legalized and sent back to me. To translate the birth certificates took 2 days, I again just googled translation services and found lots of agencies.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

p.s. James and I had our first dance lesson today for our first dance, it's a surprise, no one knows but I just had to tell some one! It went well!

Dance lessons for your first dance is such a great touch! I was just at a friends wedding and they surprised the guests with a great first dance. It was beautiful! I would need more than a few weeks to get my guy to get it straight though! Sounds wonderful though!! I hope you have an awesome wedding!

Ha ha ! It's nothing too fancy, we just took our song to a Dance School and they made up some very basic moves, I think it's a foxtrot! I thought he would be terrible as he is not really a dancer but he did really well! I think having a routine has actually improved his dance moves!

Hey everyone I've used this website to basically make all the decisions regarding my wedding. I'm getting married October 24, 2009 at RIU Santa Fe at 6pm. It's so close and I'm so excited.

 

I'm still trying to decide on the cake and flowers.

Awesome!!!! I'm getting so excited I hope everything goes well, Did you pick out your cake yet? I'm still deciding what, I wish I could taste everything then make a decision. So, far I'm the only wedding on the 24th.

What type of flowers did you get? We're having the ceremony on the beach at 6, then eating at the steakhouse at 7:45. Since there are only like 15 of us, we'll probably end up at a bar afterwards in the resort. I'm not really sure what to expect from the resort.
