JODEY

Hi Ladies, Just wondered if anyone is either writing their own vows or has written their own vows ? Because we are having a legal ceramony I've been told that there has to be cirtain words said for it to be legalised in England ? Does anyone know about this ? Also I'm not really sure how to go about starting them. I know what I would like to say but its just putting it all together and keeping it "short and sweet" so no-one falls asleep LOL !! Any advice would be greatfully received

And confratulations !! I'm sure you'll find answers to all your questions here !!

I had to choose a resort that would accomodate children too, we have booked for Dreams resort Cancun, but as you say its not an easy choice, hope you find what your looking for here, happy planning!

Hi Sharon, Congratulations !! I am a Nov 2009 bride and like you a bit of a planner! LOL I noticed you mentioned MEXICO, we booked 2 days ago for Dreams resort and spa Cancun, like you I have been really confused about the destination. I know every wedding party is different but for what we want we've decided that dreams seems to be fantastic value for money ! Theres quite a lot of brides on the site that have either already been married there or are planning to and they are extreamly helpful, let me know if you want any info : - )

Simon and I have been together 9 years on the 21st Jan. We both went to the same school but starangly never knew about it ! When I met Simon I was going out with one of his close friends at the time (Ooops!) There was a group of us that had booked to go on holiday together, at the time I was 16 and just left school so it was a big thing for me! I had booked to go with Rob but ended up going with Simon, It was a little arkward at times but it went pritty well considering. 2 yrs ago Simon took me on a weekend break to York for my birthday in Feb. York is so pritty! It had been snowing so it was very cold but beautiful, My Birthday is on 12th Feb so its close to valentines day. We had talked before about getting engaged but because we've been together from such a young age we just said we would leave it for now as we've got plenty of time and didn't want to rush plus we hadn't got our own place at the time and I was living with Simon and his parents. When we were walking through York (doing a bit of hand bag and shoe shopping!) I noticed Simon looking in the window of a jewlers, He called me over and I followed him into the shop. I never thought anything of it. He said to the shop assistant " Theres 3 rings in the window I'd like to look at" Any way to cut an extreamly long story short we walked out the shop engaged! I think Simon was as suprised at what he'd done as much as I was LOL. Well we've just booked our wedding in Dreams Cancun for 12th Nov 2009! CAN'T WAIT!

Louri and congratulations !! I'm faily new to the site and I am still working my way round, everyone's extreamly helpful, any quesyions just ask !!

Slightly worried about hurricane seasons! I'm slightly worried as I'm under the impression that we won't be in contact with Claudia until we arrive on the 11 August, which is stressing me out slight. I want to know exactly what will be happening before I get there and how much extras I will have to pay for, such as chair covers, gazebo decorating, meals for guests, blood tests, toasts etc. As you can see I've lots of questions If anyone has an email address for Claudia I would be very grateful! Thanks Amanda Hi Amanda, I'm from Nottingham England !! YIPPPEEEE I don't know if you've noticed but most Brides to be are from America, so Its great to know I'm not the only Brit on the site !!! I'm not getting married at Dreams untill Nov 09 but I do have alot of info regarding extras, blood tests ect... I've not yet learnt how to attatch doc's yet but I'll have a go, I'm intouch with Daniella @ Dreams she's been really good at getting back to me

Congratulations !!!!! I booked yesterday for 2nd Nov 2009 ! I'm excited already, still ages away! Keep us informed with the planning !!

Any... we are having the legal ceramony so therefore have to have the blood tests. I was wondering if anyone else is doing this or has had to have the blood tests ? If so was it all very routine ?

Welcome !! Hope you will find this site as helpful as I have already !! Where are you planning on getting married ?

How far in advance did everyone else book? Hi Cassondra, We're hopfully booking next week for Nov 2009 but I have struggled getting a commitment from TA's as the rates are not out yet and I'm soooo impatient ! I suppose I am taking a chance as I might get a better deal if I waited but my friends and family are wanting to get booked so they know where they are, When in the summer are you thinking of going ?

Quote: Originally Posted by lucy106 We are getting married on a Saturday so I know they do that. I would guess they do weddings every day. But I bet not too many on Friday the 13th, ha! At least they do weddings on the saturday, Good news ! I can't beleive that we plan this far ahead and we end up getting Friday the 13th !! Thats just my Luck ! Hey I noticed your wedding date ! its around the same time we're planning on but this year, Fab I bet your really excited hey ?

heeeelp !! I've been in contact today with my TA and we're hopfully booking on Monday but .... I've just realised what dates we've got !! Flying on Sunday 8th Nov 2009 therefore haveing Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs as our 4 day residential stay meaning our wedding would be on Friday 13th !!!! Can anyone tell me if they do weddings on the saturday, still cutting it fine as people staying 1 week would be going home on the sunday, What would you do ??

Quote: Originally Posted by Dijawana Diva Budget? What Budget?? HAHAHA I stopped tracking costs after we realized how much we've spent to date. We figured this is a "once in a lifetime" opportunity to get all our closest friends and family, in one place, all at the same time - totally worth it! I'm with you on that one girl !! LOL (well I'd like to think so) Every one has a budget they need to stick to and with out a doubt 99% of the time theres always something thats been overlooked, atleast now we have this great site that I'm sure is going to help alot of DW's !

We actually had the best day of the whole week weather wise, it was gorgeous! Yes, I've been feeling sick since last week, at first I didn't know what you meant, haha, I had to think about it for a minute. I'm starting to feel better today though, thanks for asking! Hi Jilly, Glad to hear you are feeling better ! I know you can't plan the weather so I suppose you just have to go with the flow, I think we're still going to book for November despite what the TA says. One other question, were you well informed of any extras that you may want along with the prices ? I'm a little concerned that once we've booked there may be alot of added extras that will bump the whole cost up ?

Quote: Originally Posted by jilly76 I thought it might take away some of the excitement too, but it didn't AT ALL! I was so nervous and excited on our wedding day, it was as real as it gets. We arrived at the resort on Tuesday, got married on Friday and everyone, except us, went home on Sunday, we left dreams on sunday and moved to El Dorado Royale for 5 more nights. How was the weather in October ? We're thinking of booking for Novemebr but some TA seem to be trying to put us off as they say its the back end of their rainy season? The weather looks fab on your wedding photo ! Hey also noticed you have a "sick" face, are you not well ?
