Back from Dreams Cancun

[Nrvsbride]

Amy everything looks amazing! You are such a pretty bride. I really loved the white halter dress that you were wearing in some of your pics, it is so pretty. And I really love the pic of your hubby and his friends with the cigars, such a cute guys pic. I'm glad everything went well, it looked and sounds like you had so much fun. Congratulations again to the new Mrs!

The cake was delicious! It was very light and moist. It isn't like most chocolate cakes here in the states (not as rich) but it was still good. I am a big dessert person so the cake was really important to me. I had a two tier chocolate cake with chocolate frosting on the inside. The outside had pink frosting with white lilies. Daniella even brought me an extra lily to put in my hair! Sorry, I dont have any close-up pictures of the cake (still waiting for pics from guests).

I am glad to hear that! My FI wants a chocolate cake... and the more chocolate the better I am sure it was beautiful!

Amy..you looked great!! Thanks so much for posting all the details!

Quick question.....how was your actual dinners and what did you pick. We are in the process of picking our menu and I was wondering if anything was really good (or really bad). Also...for seating arrangements..how did that work? Did you have where you wanted everybody and they put the place cards out? We are having ~80 people and i want to make our place cards with the table numbers on them before we go...but I have no idea how they will know who should sit where (obviously family closer tables to us, etc).

We are also up to 80+ confirmed guests with 4 months to go! I never thought we'd get such a great turnout. I'm honestly starting to worry that we'll go over 100...but I think we'll be okay. Anyway, are you planning on using the 8-person round tables? If so, just figure you'll need 10 tables. Make your seating arrangments and placecards before you leave. Then just arrange the table #s at the reception. i.e. put your #1 wherever you'd like all the people with #1 placecards to sit, etc.
On another note...don't you think we should get free accommodations or something since we are bringing so many people to the resort?!?!?

I can't believe you girls have soooo many people coming, thats great!!

 

I think we're going to end around 16-18, which I think will be perfect for us.

 

I was wondering about the food too!!

 

We chose the surf & turf option on the gold menu, but I'm nervous, I hope it doesn't suck!! Oh well, I guess if the food sucks there is always room service later on, lol!

 

we're not doing a salad, because FI is scared, I'm a little scared too, we're doing the tortilla soup, the tiramisu

 

umm, I think thats it, I can't remember what the appetizers are.

We are also going with the "Gold" meal option. We loved all the food we had while we were there. I'm sure it will be great! Pretty soon our tickers are going to say "3 months....." I think I'm going to have a panic attack!!! Five more days of school, and then I'll have the summer to really get organized.
