Jennifer congrats!!!!!

We just found out great news! Our friend is our officiant in mexico and I was trying to think of a simple thing to do for our legal day here. I can pay $35 for our friend to legally deputized for a one time marriage. He goes in and gets sworn in and I pay only $35 and he can marry us right before we take off for our flight in our kitchen! how romantic!

Thanks for the well wishes ladies.

That is really cool about your friend! What a great idea!

I have receipts for all my stuff. I am just going to cross my fingers and hope for the best. You should see the huge suitcase I have the beach towels in! It is absolutely ridiculous! Haha. Yea, I'm not going to be too obvious going through customs!!!!!

I am using a receipt template and just making up prices so that the stuff I have equals less than $300 and the stuff FI has equals less than $300.

I am a little worried about the customs in Mexico too. I was wondering about our rings and IPOD and IPOD speakers, do you ladies think I would need to bring receipts for these items? I googled the topic and found this website: Mexico Entry Requirements & Customs - Travel - LATimes.com

and it said:

To avoid paying duty on foreign-made personal items you owned before your trip, bring along a bill of sale, insurance policy, jeweler's appraisal, or receipts of purchase. Or you can register items that can be readily identified by a permanently affixed serial number or marking -- think laptop computers, cameras, and CD players -- with Customs before you leave. Take the items to the nearest Customs office or register them with Customs at the airport from which you're departing. You'll receive, at no cost, a Certificate of Registration, which allows duty-free entry for the life of the item.

Anyone planning to get this "Certificate of Registration"?

Thanks!!

Hi Ladies,

I started packing tonight! We leave in 12 days. I think all we are going to carry on is our wedding clothes, rings, camera, and netbook. We have been planning this wedding for a year, I can't believe we are 12 days away!! I ordered my boudoir photo book last night from blurb.com. It arrives in 1 week. I hope I can intercept it before FH sees it. Hope all your last minute details are coming together!

Ladies!!! This is it, less than a month for us Let's all have the most beautiful weddings, shall we?

[poohshek]

That's the plan!!! Sorry I haven't been very good with posting to this thread. Thought it would be more relaxing as the wedding gets closer. Turned out to be the opposite.
