Tell me what you think girls...honest opinions only please:) Sarah I love that dress on you! I think it looks really pretty and will be great for cabo!!

ann, I agree with everyone else on this! There is no way I would pay that much for a veil!! Good luck and I hope you find one!!

Those are very pretty!

Great review Sarah, I have quite a few questions for you but I have to run so I will ask them later! Thanks again!!

I don't want it formal or anything, just something fun and reasonably priced. Doesn't even have to be a dinner. I can't remember who I was talking to, but someone mentioned that they had some type of cruise. Any ideas? Lenita, I have no clue about this! I'm boring and i'm doing everything on the resort property. I hope someone can help you out! good luck! you must be getting so excited that it is coming up so soon!

We didn't have our camera with us that night, and by the time we went back to get it there were already people at the party so we felt a little rude taking pictures. Sorry. Anyway, I also thought you couldn't have lanterns at that site, but if Mariana said you could I would go for it, the lanterns look so cool! I would have the lounge chairs taken away no matter what level you use. Just my opinion... Sarah, your back!! How was your site visit? I can't wait to hear all about it! Is everyone using both levels? I have about 70 people coming and not sure what to do??

Interesting that Mariana told you she could hang lanterns. I emailed her awhile back and she told me she couldn't do it at the cascade terrace but I also sent her the picture from rebecca's wedding and she had hers at oceana and they did like a square above the dance floor. where would the lanterns go? I have never been there before so I have no clue as to up or down part of the terrace. what part has more room? Where do they normally set up the tables for the cascade

My FI and I are each making a CD and the reason is because I listen to all sorts of music and we both are music freaks. So I thought it would be fun to each make a CD showing off our personality with music.

very pretty tiara's girls! thanks for the great site anny!! You are great!

I really like the second one! Where is it from! I think that would be really cute in cabo and for the wedding!

Sorry I'm late on this but I hope you have a great Day!! Can't wait to hear all about it!

Tammy I think the flower would be just fine on the top! Plus you already have them and then it is one less thing you have to worry about! You could be done with your cakes. Where did you get your flowers from?

Hey tammy, I can't say exactly how many times it will take to get your nails good for the wedding but what I do is go and get a manicure every 2 weeks!!! It is really cheap here to get your nails done and they clean them up for you and trim them and they seem to get healthier. I always pick my nails so it is hard for me to keep them long but when I get them done I won't touch them for at least a week so that really helps me! I'm trying to let mine grow out for the wedding as well!! Good luck! I just say go get a manicure and ask them these questions, they will be able to tell you!

ann your pics are amazing!! You are so beautiful!!! Nice work Leigh, you are very talented!

Yes I love #2!! You look fab in it!!!

I love this idea!!! I think it would be beautiful!

I agree with everyone I love your dress Jessalyn!!

Natalie, you didn't need a site visit! lol I on the other hand, have pretty much nothing finalized and I've been planning since August! Thanks Sarah you are funny I wish I had everything finalized!! I just know what I would like to do! So we wil see if I actually get everything done!! Well when you have an ANAL FI like mine everything should be planned after 1month of planning. It drives him crazy that everything isn't set in stone!! men He drives me crazy thinking this way!!!

I def need to do a site visit. -Glenda There are pics all over from reviews and weddings and site visits. I haven't been there either and I have just asked every girl that went down there to explain it to me. So now I think I have a good grasp as to where everything is. We started planning late and we never got our acts together to get down there for the site visit. I wish we would have!!

I think Rebecca did these and had to pay the Dreams for the wiring. Could you see how much Dreams will charge for the wiring and whether or not they have some to rent or if we have to get them on our own. Also b/c I have never been to Dreams I am not to familiar with all the different locations to have your reception. Juan also recommended that I do my reception in the place nearest to the gazebo. I don't know where that is. He couldn't remember the name, does anyone know what he is referring to? If you know Sarah would you mind taking a pic of the spot? Sorry I just realized that everyone is asking you to find out so much stuff. If your not to swamped it would be great, but if it's too inconvenient don't even worry about it. Thank you Sarah! -Glenda Glenda it is the cascada terrace and that is where I'm getting married at and mariana said she can't do the lanterns on that terrace because it is too big! I was upset about it because I loved rebecca's pics. Rebecca had her reception at the oceana terrace and i guess it is smaller and they were able to do them there. I hope that helps.
