Lizz, what a great combination of gifts for your maids. I know from personal experience how thoughtful you are, as I am sure they also know. They are going to love, love, love them!

Lizzy

You did a lovely job on everything. And you look beautiful in your gown!

Have a wonderful and relaxing time. Remember to take it slow so that you will be able to recall all of the special moments.

Love to you and yours at this very exciting time!!

Lizzy

Heidi and Regie, you have finally done it...best wishes to you both! Its been a shitty year in many ways for the two of you. You made it through the darkness and arrived at your dream of a beach wedding. Cherish every moment and know that this day was meant to be.

"Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to, if you're young at heart".

Love you kids,

Lizzy

Dear Mo, please know that I am very sad this has happened. As the other ladies have said, it is very important that you take care of yourself. Grieve because it is natural and crucial, and hold your husband. You have us to talk with, but he may not feel comfortable talking with his friends about his feelings. Share your pain and disappointment with him. Your love for one another is the best way to get through this.

God bless and know that I will say a prayer tonight for you and Tim.

Ann, I am feeling really good! Fat and sassy, as usual. I will try to repost the photo b4 work tonight. Hey, are we still getting together with the other MN girls? I haven't been on enough to know what was decided. You can pm me if you don't want to hijack your own post, ha ha.

God, I really miss you kids!

You guys are so funny! I haven't gone away, just been very busy with work. Ann, thanks for posting it! Aren't they cute?

As to how this happened...Maggie got a phone call from the journalist. She introduceced herself and said that she had been hearing about them (M&T) and understood that they were an "up and coming entrpenuerial (sp) couple in the Twin Cities". Whatever. So they talked and the journalist asked to do a shoot at Excellsior Park in Minnetonka (part of MPLS), in the summer and then more photos after the wedding, then write the article. It appeared in the South Minneapolis Magazine and in the Edina Magazine. They are basically the same story with some different photos. I will try to post one more photo. It is of them in their home. If it is too big, Ann, please resize for me.

Me too! Please let me know for sure.

You know what, I think it is time to have a little sit down with FI. There is so much planning to a destination wedding, the last stress you need is all of his side worrying more about finding some good weed and getting some action while at your wedding, than the fact that the two of you are about to become a married couple! I mean, I would not want to get caught in a foreign country, smoking an illegal substance, and getting thrown in jail! How old are these people? They can do that at home. With that being said, I would also remind DFI that this is about the two of you, not about him and his friends. Maybe the boys could have their nite out b4 you leave. I would be upset...but then, it is just my opinion, coming from a mom.

Good luck honey.

We stayed at Dreams Tulum and absolutely loved it

My daughter's welcome dinner and luncheon honoring the bridesmaids and her personal attendant were held there. Also the get to know one another cocktail party the night everyone arrived. We did not have the wedding there, however. She wanted something a little more private for that. All of our 54 guests are still raving about the resort and how they were treated.

I do not believe you will be disappointed!!!

I am sorry, but I sent all of mine to foxytv. She mentioned that she would send on to another bride any that she won't need, so you may want to PM her. Thank you for your interest! I hope you find what you need!

So, does it do die cut types of things? I am just getting into making cards. BUT, I have a question...what if you want your text to be printed, like say on a hang tag, how does that work?

How wonderful and cute are you?

No way are we going to do it without you! Maybe if everybody threw out some dates they have open, then we could narrow it down. Ann, I want you to be there! AND, I want to talk to the baby, so there.

Thanks you guys. I do want to clarify that the lounge area was not the whole reception site. I will post more photos of the dinner set up and the decorations. It turned out to be nothing like I had posted for the tablescape. Maggie had very specific ideas of what she wanted and Jackie, from Ana Y Jose made it so! Jackie is going to be posting some photos of this wedding on her website: Tulum Weddings - The perfect wedding destination. -but I haven't checked to see if they are up yet.

And thanks for the compliments on Maggie, I think she is gorgeous too! Does that sound awful?

Shea, that sounds good to me. I just need to know as soon as a date is set so I can get the night off.

Here are a few photos of the Ana Y Jose Beach Club. I wanted you all to see how lovely and private it is. They did a great job!

More to come, soon...

This is one of the pro photos taken by Michael B of Michael B Studios.com

Michael flew to Mexico from his studio in Mpls. I highly recomend him!

These next two are photos of how Ana Y Jose sets up the lounge area for the receptions

This is a picture of the old grape tree. The cocktail hour took place under the tree. There were homemade tacos and empenadas and shrimp and margaritas and lots of yummy foods served

A picture of how the Chuppah looked...it really was lovely

This is the beach club just before the wedding...also the lounge area

And this is Mr. and Mrs. Tadd B. So happy, and soo in-love!

I have more but need to get the OK first!

Thanks for looking!

Jessica, I loved it! My favorite part was when Jed was sitting in the chair while you were dancing with him...at least he was at a good height for you that way. Very fun!! Was your mom the dancing queen in the brown dress? She was having a ball!

Leigh, you are amazing! And what a joyful bride and groom...absolutely gorgeous photos.

OK ladies, I will try again tomorrow. Right now I am sick again and just need to get some beddy-bye sleep in. Thank you very much!

I think JessicaLoves Brian had something like this. Maybe contact her about what she used.

Tammy, thanks, but I have done that. It doesn't work for me! Shit!! I wanted to show everyone the reception photos from Ana y Jose.

OK, I am really losing my mind here. I cannot get my pictures to post whe I put the addy in the attachment thingy. All I get is a big red X after I hit preview. WTH am I doing wrong? I don't want you girls to have to go to another site to look at them.

Hi, Maggie and Tadd had all of their pr-wedding festivities at Dreams Tulum but were married at Ana y Jose Beach Club on January 19, 2008. Does that count?

I am easy. Anywhere you want to do this is fine. I'm looking forward to this!!! And Shea and Ann need to bring their pictures too!

Well you know for sure I will be there! When we get it together I will let Maggie know the date and see if she will show her shining face! Keep me posted
