soooo upset!!

[Michelle&Steve]

so after three weeks, claudia finally got back to me, and let me know that the date i have available is already booked... im in med school so there is only a certain time period i can have the wedding... i was really set on having my wedding at dreams cancun, but they only have a tuesday available... my mom says its a destination wedding, so who cares what day it is on.. i wanted it on sat, in case anybody needs to come for like a long weekend... now i dont know what to do.. have it on a tuesday, or start looking at different places??

 

any suggestions?

I think having it on a Tuesday will be fine, some people will make a long weekend out of it and yes that means that some won't come.

 

If you are still set on cancun pm anny (anacgarcia) she got married in Cancun and can give you some tips on the resorts she looked into.

ugh, that sucks! imo, if you're really set on dreams cancun, then leave it as a tuesday...but know that some people may not be able to make it....however, they still could come on a fri/sat and stay till wed....?

 

if you're set on a sat. then start looking around...

 

you have to decide which is more important...

I had mine on a Saturday for that reason too, but really if you give people time to plan a Tuesday can work. If your heart is set on that resort I wouldn't let the day stop you. Best wishes

That sucks! I can understand wanting a Saturday, but I think a Tuesday would be fine if people have enough advance notice. If you love Dreams, then go for it... maybe you could talk to a few key people that you want there to see if the long vacation would work for them?

I had my wedding on a Wednesday. That is actually the day I wanted it to be. I think the Tuesday would work out well, your mom is right, it is a DW, you don't need to do it on the weekend. But, if the day is more important than the location, then I say you should check out some other places and then decide.

[Michelle&Steve]

thanks for all the help girls... trying to decide with my fiance what to do. i cant believe things are sooo booked so far in advance... figures.. lol... oh well, hopefully it will work out

 

julie, did having it on a wednesday change anythign that was available?

[*JillD*]

I don't think a Tuesday should be a problem for people. If they can only take a few days off from work then maybe they come down for the weekend and fly home on wednesday, so they don't miss a whole week, or whatever works for them. With enough notice I don't think it should be an issue for anyone. Your moms right its a DW, so this a vacation for a lot of people, so I think they will want to make the most of it no matter what day your wedding falls on.

I really wanted my wedding on a Friday or Saturday but those dates weren't available for the timeframe that we were looking at. We ended up having it on a Sunday which was a blessing in desguise.. guests were able to hang out together several days before the wedding. We had our welcome dinner two days prior. Some family left the day after and others were able to hang out an additional day or two.

 

I think a Tuesday is perfectly fine.. I would check into flight costs (try farecompare.com) .. but rooms/flight might even be cheaper weekday vs weekend.. your wedding package will probably be the same cost regardless.

 

I guess my point is, just like with anything in life, sometimes what you thought was terrible could just turn out to be the best thing ever!

you know Angela is right, your guests might wind up with a cheaper vacation for you having it in the middle of the week...I say go for it.
