Yey!!! Finally a date twin we also chose condos for our stay, just fits our needs perfectly!

Congrats and welcome to the board, wealth of info here!!!!

 

Cool. I'm surprised more people here aren't getting married that day, since it's during Memorial Day weekend. I thought it would be a popular choice. But condos are totally the way to go for us. We love the flexibility they offer and we have so much more control over where our guests stay, rather than being spread around a big resort.

Well, the location for our ceremony and reception has only four rooms (we're talking really boutique!) So, no, they don't have enough rooms for our quests, hence we'll be staying in several condo buildings nearby. We have the option to rent out the four rooms for the weekend so that the location is completely private, but at this point we aren't too worried about a handful of others being around. The place is on a really secluded stretch of beach, which has helped tamp down my fears of having a bunch of looky loos in their speedos gawking at the ceremony. I'm not overly concerned about wedding details, but that is the stuff of my nightmares...

Well, ladies as of today I have 7 months to go. Not so long ago it seemed I had a long time. Now my time is very short.

I was worried about this as well but Amazon had 150 2-pack Ibuprofen packets for $13 so I took a chance--they don't expire until 2013 I also got pepto bismol tablets and they last past May as well.

I have bought a few things (so far mini lint rollers, band aids, aloe, sunscreen) but I am wondering if it's too soon to buy the AdvilTylenol etc Thought, will that be expired by May 2012 and will the aloe bottles dry up by then?

Anyone else have these concerns? I was going to buy sanitizing hand gel from bath & body works but thought, is it too soon? I think I am panicking or trying to put off buying till later! lol

Count down has started!

I got a countdown timer for an engagement gift, and I just noticed it's not set on the wedding date. My fiance must have set it to the date we are arriving in Mexico. LOL.
