Hi, and welcome! I'm also a PV Bride.

That Animal hotel looks like fun! If we ever go to DW I wanna check it out!

Wow, wow, wow! So many great things going on here. What fantastic pics! You look gorgeous as did everything else. Pretty amazing! I love your little flower girls and their dresses - so cute!!! Oh and your dress was beautiful too!

I am just getting around to seeing these - your wedding looked like so much fun! You were gorgeous!!!! I also love the white. I may ask my guests to do the same thing... CONGRATS ANNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A while back, you and I were chatting randomly in some hijacked thread, and you told me you had a funny story to share, but you "couldn't" until you got engaged and you would share it then! So, when you first told us you were engaged, I searched for hours (literally, and it's sad to admit it! lol) for that conversation so I could quote you, but with no avail. I thought maybe if I kept chatting away and checking threads, that thread would pop up again and I'd find it... again, no luck. SO - I'm hoping you remember wtf you were talking about because you STILL have to tell us this story. LMAO Courtney you are going to KILL me because I HAVE NO CLUE what I was talking about!!!!!!!! P.S. It's nice to see this thread dragged up. Reading through it has made me all giddy again and put a big smile on my face. You girls are all so great!

Personally I would do the cream/ivory shoes just cause the blue would totally throw me off but if you just love the blue ones I think they'd be fine. That probably wasn't much help huh P.S. Post pics of you in the dress w/both veils!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!

Quote: Originally Posted by Just Martha Thanks for all your input ladies and Jason!

But, we do have 2 people going that have really bad backs and I dont want to make the walk around the resort or to/from the beach too rough on them. Ah..decisions! Where in the Lindo/Maya were you planning on getting married? Over the pool, or in one of the courtyards?

Yeah, it is just getting way too confusing for me and I don't wanna waste this trip since it's gonna take almost all our extra cash to go!!! We were planning Aug 10-13 but since I have Mono we're putting it off for awhile. I don't wanna be sick for the SECOND time in Mexico this year! Now we're thinking after Finals in Dec. We'll see. Either that or maybe early Jan. while we're both still on XMas vacation. Side Note: LOL you got Spam as a gift

Tammy did you get your PICS?!? WHERE HAVE I BEEN?!?

I have decided that since we are soooo confused on picking a location that's right for us we would like to hire someone (if possible) to physically take us around to different locations (hopefully some that we have not even thought of yet!). I've emailed the ladies from Incredible Weddings and Events to see if this is something they'd be interested in and what the cost would be. As we found out last time, doing a site visit can be difficult if you don't know the area and it would be so helpful to have sort of a "tour guide" who not only knows PV but also weddings and has connections in the area. We'll see what happens! Also, if you can suggest anyone else in the area that might be open to the idea please let me know - thanks!

I would suggest you contact Lucie or Tamara at www.incredibleweddingsandevents.com – they are a great coordination team and I’m sure will be happy to help if available! Yay, thanks!

What does your dress look like? Can you post a pic?

Thanks ladies. The "other" one that I am looking for was the one that someone said Kristin from Dazzling Details referred her to...

Martha, I think Dreams Tulum sounds beautiful and honestly I visited Iberostar Lindo in June (it's where I got engaged!) but was NOT impressed with their beach wedding setup. The "aisle" that you walk down is completely devastated by the hurricanes and provides a very ugly backdrop for the ceremony site. Unfortunately there's nothing they can do about this because it is government land and the mangrove plants there are protected so it's up to the gov't. Then the location on the beach is right next to a plastic blow up boat stand which they will not move. Every pic I saw had those boats in it. The WC said "oh you just have to tell your photog. to center things better". Pssssh! The other thing we didn't like was how HUGE the resort was. You really had to plan out which activity you wanted to do when because it took forever to walk places. Other than that it was a beautiful resort with lots of things to do but my honest opinion was that it was not fit for a wedding. Oh and we also didn't feel too confident with the WC Luz (She seemed pretty timid) or either of the concierges we were in contact with. They were no help to Martin when he was trying to set up his proposal. I feel bad saying all this but since you are reconsidering I thought I'd throw my .02 out there...

OMG that is hilarious! Did you send it?! Martin's family is VERY religious as well. His Aunt and Uncle are missionaries in Brazil!!! When they came up this Summer we offered to host a 4th of July BBQ to show them our new house and so I could meet them. Well that turned into a huge pile of crap. Apparently it's super taboo that we're living together, even though we are engaged. Hello, what time period are we living in?!? They finally came over but were talking behind our backs to his parents and had to sit their 3 children (ages 12-17!) down to explain our "situation" to them. LOL Seriously, what the hell would they do if we were gay or something like that? Disown us? I can't believe ppl still think like this nowadays. We should have put something extra special in their brownies...

It's here, it's here!!!!!!!

Wow, it's here already!!!! CONGRATS ANDREA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Martha, I am soooo happy for you and Jack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Amy, right now we are looking at Dreams, the Mayan and Las Caletas. We would prefer to either stay in the same place where our wedding is held or not too far from it. I don't know, I'm so confused right now... too many choices!

I did a search but can't seem to find the "other" good WC in PV (Besides Dazzling Details). Can someone help me out?

Quote: Originally Posted by Susan101207 Thanks Jaime! That really helps. It is a chiffon-like material which I know is a b**ch to alter. I'm bummed...but I kinda already knew that that's what the answer would be. I really appreciate you going out of your way to spare me some humiliation at the seamstress! No problem, anything to spare you some embarrassment!!!

Shoot I love the Mayan but don't really like the hotels near it and I don't want our drunk guests having to travel far after the reception. Maybe if I don't go with the Mayan I can afford to get Dazzling Details to coordinate our wedding at Dreams... Somehow something has to start clicking sooner or later...
