Sarah

Congratulations Jessalyn! I know everything will be beautiful. Have a fantastic time- soak it all in!

I used a center vessel that I bought at Marshall's and found coordinating side vessels at Target. The center vessel did come with a lid, but i ended up bringing saran wrap and stuffing it full with kleenex, saran wrapping the top like 20 times and putting a rubber band around it all. I held it in my carryon and it travelled fine.

Fantastic review! But i can't see the pics either... Sounds like you had a great time- congratulaions! Las Caletas sounds like an amazing place!

Wow Ann! Fantastic review! It sounds like you had a great time despite being sick. Do you think you got sick from the food or something else- were you ever able to figure out what was wrong? What a bummer... I'm dying to see more pics from Leigh- I know your wedding is going to be phenomenal, she always does a great job but somehow I just know yours will be "extra special". Congrats again- I wish you and Paul a lifetime of happiness!

Congratulations Stephanie! It has been so great getting to know you over the past year. You have put so much hard work into your wedding, I know it will be wonderful! From the OOT bags, to the guest book pages, and all your DIY projects you are going to absolutely WOW your guests. I'm so excited for you and can't wait to hear how Jason loves his BPics! You will be a gorgeous bride- as I tell everyone, remember to stop and soak it all in, everything goes by so fast! Good luck with the rest of your last minute stuff- but don't stress, it will all work out, no matter what happens! Have a safe trip, and enjoy your honeymoon but hurry back to tell us all about it!

Gorgeous Sarah! I love them all, but my favorite is the one with you in black & white holding your bouquet (the first of the second set). Absolutely breathtaking! Can't wait to see more...

There are so many digital printing options nowadays, I think I will be able to do something nice. YOU have so many awesome pictures- from your wedding to the Trash-the-dress session! Are you going to have Juan do a book for you? KarlaV Thanks! I'm actually going to make another book like my e-pics and boudoir pics books I've made. I love Juan's books, but they are a little out of my budget at this point. I just watched your slideshow again- I just love it! It was so cool to see how Juan photographs new locations...I love Dreams, but it's nice to see his work from somewhere else!

Sarah you still dont have your slideshow! I am getting really anxious to see mine. Hopefully they will be ready soon Sarah No slideshow yet, but I should be next- and you're right after me, I think!

Late June or July it won't be too chilly. In Feb, it was only 50-60 at night in Cabo. For our wedding in May it was very pleasant at night- 60-70. I'm sure it's even a little warmer later in the summer. There is a really nice breeze at night. I usually just wore my Pash from Glenda or my "Future Mrs S..." hoodie in the evening and was very comfortable.

Have fun on your honeymoon Jen! When do you get back?

Another thing to consider about the weather- Cabo rains only in the fall, and less than 10 days total. You are pretty much guaranteed to have sunshine on your wedding day. Cancun, no guarantees!

Congratulations Kash! I know your wedding will be beautiful- enjoy it and have a great time in Europe! Can't wait to hear all the details, especially Dan's reaction to the dress!

Gorgeous!!

Congratulations Jenetta- it's hard to believe your day is finally here! Have fun and soak it all in!

We actually want to go to Dreams Cancun next year- or somewhere besides Cabo (we've been there three times in a year) so I looked quickly at price differences. You're right, it is significantly more to go to Cabo, but if you get a room block and shop around for flights, I bet you will end up paying about $600-800 more per week per room. It is a large price difference, but, again, you have to do what you want to do. If you want a larger number of guests, probably go for the cheaper place..We couldn't have cared less who was there besides our family so we went with Dreams Cabo.

:chiming in late (sleeping just always gets in the way- lol): JT & Jessalyn are right- I have made 2 photobooks, but I paid extra for the rights to my photos. I own DVD's of my wedding, engagement, and b-pics so I make whatever I want with my photos. Like JT said- as long as you're not selling them, you can make your photobooks, prints, etc... By the way, I have a friend that just got married in Hershey PA as a DW and she made a photobook out of her engagement pics to be used as a guestbook- it turned out awesome! She just made the pics medium-sized with white around the edges for the guests to write on.

:Standing on my soapbox: As always, it's not about your guests- it's about you! If you love Dreams Cabo, go for it- those that want to be there will. It's probably a matter of a couple hundred dollars a person, maybe even like $500 for a week- in the grand scheme of things that's not a huge deal. People that will pay $2000 for a trip will probably pay $2500. I'm just throwing out numbers, but trying to put it in perspective. You will be amazed how your guest list will change- it has happened to every single bride on this board, and it's usually drastic whatever way it goes. Some expect 15 guests, but get 50 and vice versa. PLEASE don't make a decision based on your guests- no matter what the location! :off soapbox now:

OK, so I had to bust out my old computer so I could see this... Amazing Karla! You and Ronnie look so gorgeous together- the pictures are amazing and full of emotion....congratulations! I love the pics with the red columns- those are so beautiful! It's so hard to pick a favorite.

Fantastic job Jessalyn! Everything looks so amazing- your guests are going to love all the little details...can't wait to see the real pics!

Hmm...very interesting. i get to see about 15 slides, but then my computer stops playing the slideshow. I tried watching my own slideshow and it does the same thing. i just bought a new computer this last weekend (not a Mac) so I don't know what the deal is. Juan- I don't think I like this new slideshow program! Half my friends can't view it either...not sure what the problem is. I've tried downloading, installing, and reinstalling that photodex presenter like 10 times now! Ahhh- now I know how the rest of you feel- I want to see it!

I wish I could do it all over again!!! People are always telling me that I am in a wrong profession. They think I should be a stylist, wedding/event coordinator or home decorator. I loved your thorough review and TTD pictures. When I saw it I thought to myself how well planned and organized your wedding was. I think I will follow your review to write mine…hehehe lol, nope, just a nurse- I'd love to do something else though, maybe I should look into it...haha You seriously should be an event planner/wc. You could do that, and your DH could photograph- you two have the whole wedding package together! I'm glad you liked the review & TTD pics- it was fun! I can't wait to read your review:)

Wow, I'm sooo late to this! How did I miss this thread?!? Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS! Jaime this is so awesome! What a great engagement story- I'm so happy for you!

Loreta- I am almost at a loss for words. Your wedding is the most beautiful and most well put together I've seen yet! Your use of color throughout and your style is impeccable! If I could do my wedding over and say I wanted to copy someone it would be you (hmmm,I'd have to steal your body too to make it work- oh well- scratch that idea!). Your dress, hair, makeup, jewelry- everything was perfect! And your wedding party- wow... I've admired your pics for almost an hour now and I absolutely can't pick a favorite, there are so many. Sol is amazing, but you and Kashif make the pictures great. You and your DH (fun, isn't it?!) have such style and presence for the camera, it is amazing. Congratulations! Oh, and by the way, I LOVE blower's daughter- I keep trying to find somewhere to incorporate it into a slideshow or something...awesome!
