I am having a wedding at Excellence Riviera Cancun and they have not asked for any deposit in advance but i am already working with resort's WC. I am assuming I will just have to pay when I get there. I probably should confirm that.

Here is more on ebay: eBay - Chambered Nautilus pearlized shells, Rocks, Fossils, Minerals, Collectibles items on eBay.com= you can buy 6" pearlized shell for $9.99 plus $6.00 S&H

if it's not too late I would like to join you guys as well. I will need two shells. Thanks

Did you find a better somewhere else or you just went with what they quoted? Thanks

Welcome Amy! Be careful now, I told you this site is addictive the girls are very helpful here.

Here is the link to the other thread (more info) http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t1232 I like the photo frame idea.

Welcome Kris! We went to El Conquistador Resort a few years ago and we had an amazing time. It's a little paradise on earth with it's own private island. We loved it. I was thinking of doing my own wedding there as well but it's not AI so it didn't work for us. Let me know if you have any questions.

Congratulations on your marriage! Can't wait to hear all about it

This is very good to hear. I got the same vibe from reading reviews on a tripadvisor. I wanted a resort that with that "wow" factor.

Glenda, It's good to hear this. I am questioning myself everyday if I chose the right place for my wedding Have you been there before?

Tammy - thanks so much for posting the tips. This got me thinking that I need to compile the list for my photographer as well. I also assist my FI to manage his photography studio and will send these tips to every bride that will book us for their wedding .

Thanks to all married gals for useful information. Polaroid guest books is such a great idea!

I am not getting a veil are you? And I love the silk flower link! Those are really pretty. I never thought of getting silk flowers for everything else as opposed to getting real flowers? Does anyone know if they are cheaper than getting the real thing? -Glenda They are definetely cheaper than the real flowers. Thanks for posting the links - I may use some of them for my site decorations.

Welcome! I vote for Excellence Riviera Maya as well. We chose this location because it had consistenly good reviews on the tripadvisor.com, 10 bars, 8 restaurants, beautiful grounds, swim-up suites. It just looks perfect and I am really picky about everything. As far as photographer goes, I would like to recommend my FI - he hasn't done any DW photography but he is excellent and he is willing to offer a good package in order to create his DW portfolio. His website - Studio Contempo We chose Sol Tamargo as our photographer. We love modern/contemporary photography and her work is mind blowing. Good luck with all the planning!

That Damien Rice album has to be on my top 5 albums ever. Yeah, I am aware of it...it goes as "I can't take my eyes off of you" but then at the end of the song the last words are "Until i find somebody else"...lol However, most of the people don't listen to the words and since I love the music I decided to go with it. I have a proof that words don't matter - my FI is a photographer and one of the brides chose this song for her DVD slideshow...lol we had to cut it out Loreta

I am thinking of using that song from movie "Closer" by Damien Rice. Don't remember how it's called but it starts with "And here it is..."

It's very easy - all you need to do is to create account with one of the website providers and they give you a template pages to customize it. I created mine with Free Wedding Websites just because they seemed to offer the most for free. Some websites charge hosting fees for additional space, etc. Good luck and have fun. You will enjoy creating your own website.

Very nice resort. I wonder if it's All Inclusive.

Another nice resort to consider is Excellence Riviera Cancun - Excellence Group Resorts I am getting married there and I chose this resort for it's beauty, many restaurants/bars, lots of pools and consistently great reviews on Reviews of vacations, hotels, resorts, vacation and travel packages - TripAdvisor. Good luck! Our Wedding Website

Wow, the island looks so gorgeous and romantic. Seems like a great honeymoon spot. _____________ Our Wedding Website

Welcome! I am getting married on May 22nd, 2007 at Excellence Riviera Maya. Let me know if you need anything.

Thank you for instructions!

American Bridal: Monogram Votive Candle - Personalized Candle Votive Favors - $2.40 It's a great website, Ann. I am still hoping to find the ones with a color on a bottom to create a nice light effect. My wedding colors will be hot pink.

Natalie - how will you be adding the names to them? I am not sure I am that crafty to make them myself. In the pictures seems like proffesional work.
