The part where the registra says "repeat after me" does he/she read it all then you repeat it all or did they do it in bits ? (am I making sence ? lol )

I may be wrong but I thought there would be music needed for when you sign the regiter ? or is that the same music as when you exit ?

They're excellent, what a good idea ! I like them both but I think No 2 is best !

Thanks Lucy106 ! Kat81 has offered to help out but thanks for the advice and really its so nice to think that I have you guys to help if you can, it means alot, hopfully I can do the same for someone in the future, x

Did you put me on your buddy list ? I have received them before if not my email add is [email protected] Thank you x

Hi Ladies ! Can anyone help, I'm trying to order a clear "Star of the sea" bouquet jewel from Bouquet Jewels - Unique Bouquets for Unique Brides but to order it from the net and get it sent to the UK it would cost me $50 for the shipping and at the moment it is free shipping in USA. I was wondering if there was a different way ? If someone was to order this for me (obviously I would send the money first) and then send it to me would the shipping cost still be the same ? Any ideas.....

Those are fab, I love the colours !! I would really like to purchase some fans but every site I've been on wont ship to the UK. Can anyone help on this ? Thanks ladies !

Hey tlomlad ! You mention that you are having the ultimate package and so am I. Are you sticking with the photographer and videographer that is in the package ?

First of all congratulations !! Thank you so much for you fantastic reveiw, It all sounds so wonderful ! Sorry to bombard you with questions but I know all us girlies really appreciate it! How many hours did you hire the DJ for all together ? Was it from the begining of your dinner (for back ground music) or after you had eaten ? did you organise any back ground music your self for during you meal?

Which Dreams resort ?

I too have knee problems infact only went to the hospital yesterday for x-rays, they say I've got Artheritis and need sergery. I mean Artheritis @ 25!! Anyway its hopfully not going to be too much of an issue but I am too having problems with getting fit and motivation. I have no excuse, home @ 5.30pm with weekends off so I knew how you feel. I have plenty of time so your 3 months alone should motivate you. If you don't do it now you'll regret it and kick yourself, If I was you I would try getting up earlier rather than leaving it late. When you get home all you want to do is chill out, I think you will need to experiment, ,good luck !

You have sooo made my day with that ! I'm sat here crying with laughter with all my work mates round me wondering what the hells the matter !! Thanks for sharing that LOL !!!!!

Hi there, I know that Dreams Cancun are supposed to be organisisng this but I'm not sure when this is to be up and running for, I will email Daniella the WC and see what I can find out

CONGRATULATIONS !! Tell us more !!

Sorry to hear about your loss x

Also, just remember, your wedding is a ways away and some of your guests, no matter how sure they are about going, may end up not going. Nothing is definite until they actually book. Thanks for your words of wisdom ! Its just the not knowing of the "end budget" thats quite scary, I'm a very impatient person, I just wish people could give me a desission now and either book or say no we can't, I was even thinking of giving people a dead line for booking eg they need to have booked at least 6 months before we go but I could think of a reason to give LOL ! Has any one else given a dead line for booking ?

Jilly thats great advice, thank you ! I will deffinatly keep these things in mind ! we'll have to see nearer the time how many peopel do actually book and see what the old piggy bank is saying LOL!

It was only about a 10 minute ride from EDR, so from cancun it would probably be about 45-50 minutes. There might be somewhere that you can find it closer, I think if you go to the tour desk at dreams they should have information for you there. Thats great Jilly, thanks for the info !

Is anyone not bothering with gazibo decor and chair bows ect... Just wondered what peoples veiws are on this ? We were going to have an upgraded cake too but decided not to as we think it will be a waste of money if people dont eat it. I've gone from thinking "theres gonna be no one there with us to celebrate" to "oh my god it looks like we're gonna have alot more people than what we thought" and our budget just keeps rising, I wished I hadn't invited all the people we did now before I knew about the additional charges PP, does that sound really selfish ? Its just I really think we're gonna have to cut back on the extras that I really wanted to accomodate more guests, I know this may sound silly because our wedding is still so far away but when you have a figure in your mind and it keeps creeping up its quite scary,AAARRRR !

Hi Jilly, Did you book this through Dreams when you got there, what was the price and was it far away, how long did you ride for ?

Quote: Originally Posted by Morgan When I was in cancun we did this. We booked it through our funjet rep ($65). They took us in a bus to where we rode. it might have been a 30 minute ride. It was cool to get to see more of cancun than the hotel zone. Take water! We didn't & it was really rough. They sold bottles eventually, but I didn't have cash. They gave us the option of riding a horse into the water. They also took pictures that were about $10 each. Then we went back to the stabels & they fed us the best mexican food. Some people played donkey soccar. It was a really fun trip. There was an incident when I was trying to get off the horse. He took off running & my foot was hung up on the stirup. He drug me into the stabel. I looked up & my friends were just standing their taking my picture. Oh my !! It sounds amaizing, I hope you didn't hurt yourself too much though ? !

Tami, they're both gorgeous but yours is stunning !
