Thank goodness for Paula - she's the Queen of Birthdays!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Tania! I'm also getting married in PV. Where specifically are you getting married? Welcome to the forum and let us know if we can help!

Quote: Originally Posted by Hopels We registered for our honeymoon at TheBigDay.com - we also booked our hotel for the honeymoon through them, which means they don't charge you a registry fee. They actually got us a great deal at the 2 hotels we picked out, much better than what the hotels were offering. If you decide to use them, and want to have them book for you, ask for Patti. She specializes in Jamaica and was REALLY helpful! We are also doing an in store registry at Bed Bath and Beyond, for those that don't feel comfortable with the honeymoon registry idea. That being said, we are having an AHR a month after the wedding. I really hope people will use our honeymoon registry though - we live together and really have everything we need! The lady's name doesn't happen to be Patti Jo does it? Quote: Originally Posted by gkashmira My friend at work did it and loved it. What they ended up doing which was an amazing touch (and I'm sure took a lot of time and effort on their part) is that they literally took a picture of themselves doing all the wonderful things they registered for and got. Then when they sent their thank you cards they included a copy of the picture. anyway incase you decided to do it and want to be ambitious about how to thank people! We were totally going to do one at the same place (I posted a thread about it somewhere - I have no idea where it is now) but then I got lazy and well Indian tradition has people sending money anyway so we just used the money for our honeymoon I love that idea. I think it makes it so special that ppl can actually see you enjoying what they picked out. Then again, money is always good...

Oh no! Can you express to your Grandma personally how much her being there truly means to you?? That's what I would do - pull out the tears and everything, don't hold back! I think it's very important for her to see your true feelings on this. I would be so incredibly hurt and sad if my Grandma didn't show up for my wedding!!!!! I bet once she sees how much her being there matters to you she'll come through for you! Sorry you're going through this. I know that's gotta hurt.

It was a little like the Leaning Tower of Carrot Cake but all in all turned out ok ~ Tasted great so that's what matters! OH, and apparently it's also Martin's Mom's fav cake (she's a BADA$$ chef) so she requested a piece and Martin said she all but licked the plate clean - 2 thumbs up

To be honest, I was being lazy - I thought I had remembered a thread about this... I went and posted in the other thread.

They were probably more excited about it than we even were!! I found this off of Patti's site and am looking into it. We definitely don't need a bunch of "stuff" - we've already got a house full of "stuff" What we would REALLY LOVE to have is a dream honeymoon! This is perfect for us! I'm glad to hear your family is excited about it. I was worried that it might come off as tacky... Quote: Originally Posted by foxytv What a simple, but PERFECT idea to truly let them know how much the gift is appreciated! And to let them know you put it to good use!!! GREAT idea!!! I really want them to feel like they had a part in our enjoyment of the honeymoon.

Has anyone here done a honeymoon registry? We've already got a house and most of the things to go in it. We don't really need or want china or other dishes/kitchen appliances that we'll just have to move again eventually... What we'd REALLY love is an AWESOME honeymoon in Jamaica!!! So, be honest - do you think it's tacky to go this nontraditional route?!?

FYI it turned out great! Thanks Tammy for the recipe - James said it was the best he'd ever tasted!!

Quote: Originally Posted by jenvh I appreciate the honesty. It's what I need. I want something a bit more quiet than cancun but not a place that shuts down at dusk. I don't want our families to be bored since we are essentially making them go where we want. I feel like everytime I think about or read about a new destination I want that. Haha. Most just aren't practical (or in our budget) Are there some other RM locations that fall somewhere between Cancun And Isla Mujeres? Have you checked into Playa del Carmen?? I love that town.

Hi and welcome! I've been to Isla de Mujeres before but to be honest it was during my Senior Trip in HS and we took the "booze cruise" over there so I don't remember a whole lot! I do remember lush surroundings, lots of mosquitoes and a cool show they had set up for us. Sounds like it'd be an interesting place to check out tho! Hopefully someone else can give you some better feedback... good luck!

Great review, your dress was beautiful and I'm glad the photo luminaries turned out to be such a big hit! You guys make a cute couple

Wow, I didn't know Wet Seal still existed. I guess they just aren't around here anymore

Haha, I love how the night progresses! That's priceless Cute pics Christine - your wedding looked beautiful as did you

I say bring FFIL's wife with you and then give FMIL an "extra special" task to do. Explain to her what a HUGE help it would be to you. It's amazing how moms personalities can change when they feel needed and wanted.

If I had a dollar for every time I've changed my mind.... well, it would probably help pay for the wedding! Haha Try not to get discouraged along the way. There are soooooooo many resorts to look at and it can definitely be a daunting task but in the end you will find the right one for you and it will all be worth it! Meanwhile, we're here for you!

Awe Lisa, I am so happy for you!!! Your pics look great and you looked amazing in your dress!!! I love the one where the guys are lifting you super high off the ground - I think that's the highest off the ground shot I've seen! And you and your girls look super cute in y'alls pic too. I love the colors of their dresses. All in all - beautiful, can't wait to see more!

Haha, I love that your Dad used his "outside voice" to get things under control Good for him! Other than that, glad your wedding was a success and you got the earlier time slot on your wedding day!!! CONGRATS!

I'm about to download some pics and try to do a review tonight....but definitely pics! WOW ~ ~ 6910 posts since I've been gone.... YAY! Glad to hear it went so well and to have you back Can't wait to see the review and pics!!!

Another Jamie! I think we have three spellings now - Jamie (you), Jaime (me) and Jamy (starchild). Congrats on your upcoming wedding, you must be so excited! There are a bunch of Dreams Los Cabos brides on here and they're all very helpful. Can't wait to hear all about your wonderful wedding!

Martin just came in and I said "Taste that" thinking he would go "Yuck" but he said "That's awesome." I said, "You don't think it's too sweet?" He just repeated "No - That's AWESOME." haha, guess it's not bad afterall. Woohooo! I'll post the final pics after everything has cooled and is iced.
