Jackie

I'll be looking for you Michelle, we get there Saturday afternoon. We have the same thing going on right now Sooooo much luggage packed its crazy! Have fun, its all smooth sailing from here!

Actually I had a lot of bad Anxiety today but I am running around and checking things of my list. And My house if half way completely cleaned and we are 90% packed so now I feel a little bit better. But wow does the week before you leave fly!!!

Oh good deal Tammy your the best!

Ann She's gorgeous. It's to bad it all had to happen so far from home but I'm so glad that the two of you made it through and are healthy.

When Pedro e-mailed last week I pretty much new right away that he was trying to rip me off. I e-mailed him back and told him I knew he wasnt working for Sunrider tours anymore and I havent heard back from him since. When I e-mailed Mario to let him know what Pedro was doing, he e-mailed back and sounded pissed. He told me to not give Pedro any money and to not respond to his e-mails. I would have been out like $600.00 bucks if Mario didnt e-mail me to let me know that Pedro wasnt working for them anymore. I would have thought nothing of it if Pedro was e-mailing me because he is who I've been working with this whole time.

This pic could be in a magazine, its so beautiful! I cant wait to do our TTD pics and I'm glad you said your dress was ok afterwards. Ive been a little nervous about that.

OH Tami you must be so excited! I love the one of the flowers and love love the one with your bridal party and the parasols. You look gorgeous.

Thats funny!

Padro Salvador (I think thats his last name) no longer works for the company. Originally when I booked the Dinner cruise I was working through e-mail with Pedro, he arranged to meet me at Dreams and collect a 50% deposit the day before our dinner cruise. A couple of weeks ago I got an e-mail from Mario at sunrider tours letting me know that Pedro wasnt working for them anymore and that they did not need me to put a deposit down, to just pay in full when we arrived for the cruise. Last week Pedro e-mailed me to make sure we were still on for him to pick up the deposit! I e-mailed Mario right away asking maybe if Pedro was re-hired. Mario said that Pedro definitly did not work for them any longer and to NOT give anyone any money before the cruise. I know a few of us are doing the sunset dinner cruise so I just wanted to give everyone a heads up in case you were working with Pedro also.

So I heard back from Mariana and she said the lights under the tables are lanterns and there is no cords or wires or anything. She said they are beautiful and worth the money. So looks like we will be getting them. Holey Moley there is going to be enough light in our one little area to light up the whole resort!

That is so sad to here. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Good luck Kristen have a great time! I e-mailed Mariana about the lights and am waiting to hear back from her. I asked if they were plug in's or battery operated etc.

I think they would try and charge your mother a fee. Its I believe $95.00 for a day pass. But I say just have her walk in and straight up to your room. If you plan on eating or using the facilitys with her than maybe go ahead and ask if there is a fee. but other than that it sounds like you might be better of using the "dont ask dont tell" policy. Suzanne Morale is comming to do our stuff and they are not charging us or her.

Hehehe I told her right off the bat that I was a member of the forum. Believe it or not Dreams WC's know this forum well because Tammy produced this forum (it started as a Cabo bride forum) and was a Dreams bride and is now a TA and works a lot with Dreams. When I met Mariana during our site visit we talked a lot about the forum and she knew all about it. So as far as any pull goes if we have any at all, it would be with this resort. One more great reason to have picked Dreams.

Let there be light! Oh thanks for the heads up, I just e-mailed Mariana asking about this. We have so much light allready I'm wondering if it will be to much or if it will make the setting look even better. I asked Mariana for her honest opinion so hopefully she gives it to me.

Quote: Originally Posted by JessicaM I emailed Yesica to ask her about this and she did confirm that if you brought your own lanterns down they only charged $60 to hang them. Thanks for the heads up Jackie!! That saved Amy & I over $100 since we are sharing the lanters!! Oh good deal! I was hoping that would help someone else out and not just me! We are all so good at this game, they cant get anything by us BDW freaks!

Tara you look so beautiful. That might be one of my favorite dresses I have seen yet, its so elogant and classy. I'm glad to hear everything went so well.

Your right I could never imagine you being a Chrissy or Chirsty or Chirs you are definitly a Christine. Good idea to just wait and see what will eventually fit her personality.

She might but it will be worth it because its such a pretty name. Do you think she will have any nicknames like Leigh or anything? I also like Leigh, how do you feel about the posible nicknames?

Oh Christine I have to agree with your hubby on this one. I love the name Ainsleigh. I dont love Elizabeth at all but aparently I'm in the minority on that one.

Great review Lauren, congratulations.

Looks like you guys had a great time. There is nothing better than being on vacation.

I dont know about Hawaii but the prices where we are getting married didnt change depending on day of the week. Lets see some things to think about. 1. Vendors might have more availability on days that are not as popular. (i.e. a weekday might be better then) How long or when do you think your guests will be traveling. will most of the make a weeks vacation out of the wedding or will most of them be flying in for just the wedding and than leaving. (i.e. a weekend day might be better so that guests can take the least amount of time off work)

We are at about $3.84 around these parts.
