We are getting married at the JW Marriott...right next door. I do have quite a few guests staying at the Casa. Who is your wedding coordinator? I am curious to see if they use the same one for both properties.

my budget was $1000 to $1500......i didn't look at price tags until i found the one i loved. that could have been a bad mistake if my dress ended up being way over my budget. but luckily, it wasn't...it was $1500...so still in my budget! i have thought about spending that much money on a dress, but i know i love it and can't wait for my FI to see me in it! i'm doing a TTD but had to schedule it the day before the wedding since juan is not available after....so i'm on the hunt for a cheaper dress! plus i just don't know how i could trash my $1500 dress.......it would be so sad!

thx! do you still have the link to the site? if not, i'll look.........just being lazy!

can't wait to see more.....i was wondering today where anny is? love to hear your thoughts about the JW!! thx for sharing!

WELL, I did make it up at 4:50 a.m. and make it there....ran 5 minutes, did some push ups, then it hit me...I had to throw up!! So I did, and then we continued to do a few more exercises...had to throw up again. So I called it quits and went back to bed. Luckily the trainer is my cousin and he was disappointed but understood. So I have another appt. with him at 5 in the a.m. and Monday at 5 a.m. He's so nice and is training me as many times as he has open spots between now and when we leave in 13 DAYS!! Anyway, that's my very gross story of the day. lol.....good job just getting up and going! that's impressive!

As of the first week of August, I will go see her 2 times a week, she is giving me a great deal. So, I should be swimsuit ready by October, even if it causes me immense pain i worked out my legs yesterday too and it's hurts every time i go to sit down....esp on the potty!! tomorrow will prob be even worse!

gorgeous pics! you look amazing!

Would anyone share what rates they are getting quoted for DJ service? I'm getting back anywhere from $2250 all the way up to $6K!!! Yikes! Just wanted to be sure I'm not getting ripped off! Thanks!

My FI and I are thinking of having at least one "signature" cocktail at our reception to match our theme. I came across this website with lots of great ideas and tons of colors to match anyone's theme. Not sure if anyone else was thinking of this, but if so...check this site out!

great job! i love the tags....how exactly did you do them?

it's good to hear that us "2nd time around brides" get those butterflies again! i have no doubt in my mind that i want to marry jason. but i can empathize with you about the nervousness! failing at my first marriage is something i think about often, especially since i have my daughter. but i know i made the right decision in ending that marriage for everyone involved. butterflies are good! even though my wedding 9 months away - i get them from time to time! but i also think it's part of the excitement of it all! congrats to you!!!

we were quoted $680 just for the trio and and between $800 and $1000....depending on how many band members.

beautiful wedding and pics! and i love your dress! very gorgeous!

I'm sure some of you have already seen this website...but thought I would pass it along just in case. Actually, my FI came across it. It had some songs that I had completely forgotten about! Wedding Music: Ceremony and Reception Songs

i was looking for it too!

very pretty! i'll take a look and see what i can found...or copy myself! thanks!

i do like the "paperwork" answer! and i like the idea of the marriage certificate too!

isn't family fun?? i'm not worried about the blood test - i do phelbotomy myself...i'm worried about the paperwork. and i can tell that FI is nervous everything won't get done in time for our wedding. i was divorced 3 year ago...so I need to have my divorce decree translated and it sounds like that takes an additional 48 hours to translate in addition to the standard 3 day waiting period?? has anyone had to deal with this?

Amy's thread got me thinking..............and I didn't want to steal her thread. FI and I have started of talking about getting married here instead as well. Seems like way too much paperwork and hassle to deal with that I would rather not have during my wedding week. Here's my question.............do we tell family that we got married here? I'm very torn on this decision and just wanted to hear everyone's thoughts!

the girls were just asking if you were back yet!!! need details and pics!! i'm so excited to have some to chat with has been married there! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

i think #1 look like they are made to go with you dress.....which is very pretty by the way! i agree with the comments about #3.....adorable shoes but they look too casual to go with your dress.

Hi and congrats! We are getting married at the Marriott in Cancun....so if you choose Cancun, let me know and I'll fill you in on what we have learned! This website is awesome....I have quickly become addicted!

Juan - that was amazing! I feel so lucky to have booked you!!! Can't wait!!!! Thx for sharing!

Hi ladies - Can anyone help me out with a florist in the Cancun area? I'm not looking for tons of flowers, but just need a little guidance to where I can find a good one. My WC gave me a list, but only 1 or 2 have websites and so far I'm not sold. If anyone knows anyone....I would SO appreciate it! Thanks so much!

i got it!!! thx for the help ladies!

THANK YOU!!!! i printed it out and we'll work on it!!
