Jennette........Your pictures are AMAZING!! You are so beautiful! This makes me even more excited to be getting married at EDR! Congratulations on your wedding!

I love those! The invitaion wording is really cute!

Name: Kirsten Wedding date: December 11, 2008 Time: 4:00 pm Location: Gazebo 55 Cocktail reception: No cocktail receptions for us. Dinner/Reception: Private Dinner at Tucanes (Family style dinner option) Number of guests: approx. 20 Rehearsal: El Cocotal

Those are so cute and unique! I think I'll put my FI to work on these STAT!

Great pictures! I can't believe this was your friends FIRST time shooting! He/she will surely have a great career ahead of them. I love the pic of you and your new hubby laying in the sand!

Lori, your photo's are amazing! What a true authentic mexican wedding! I too will be having Kristi and Paul at my wedding this December.........I can't wait!

You tell um girl! Way to put them is their place! That is absoulutely ridiculous that they are having you deal with this a week before your wedding. Let us know what happens.

Beautiful pictures! You look so happy!

Here is my dress! I just ordered it last weekend while I was home visiting my parents in Montana (no sales tax there!!) It's a Maggie Sottero, style is Allison Marie. I ordered it in white. I did not get the wrap flower thing.......didn't really fit my style. I LOVE this dress!! I feel very mexico-ish in it!

I'm getting married at EDR on December 11th! What day are you getting married?

Welcome back Shannon! I'm so happy to hear that you had an amazing wedding and have no regrets! Can't wait to see the rest of your review and some pics!

Great review! Can't wait to see your pics too!

What an awesome video! Your guests will love seeing that for your AHR!

I love Cirque Du Soleil shows! We're going to Vegas in a few weeks for my 30th B-day (EEEEEEK!) We're going to see Mystere this time........can't wait!

YAY! I hope you have a wonderful time! I can't wait to hear all the details and see some pictures of course!

I actually contacted the photographer of this couple via email and the actual bride wrote me back stating that it is indeed a Monique Lhullier dress! I didn't expect such a direct response........how funny is that?? Anyway, this officially answers your question!! I love the dress too, but I think Monique Lhullier is a little (or maybe a lot) above my budget! Good luck!

There are a lot of EDR brides here.......including me! Happy planning! Let us know if you need anything!

Here's my ring........It's a Tacori........I LOVE it! This is the first photo I figured out how to post! I'm such a dork!

Your pics are amazing! Your soon-to-be hubby will LOVE them!

Exactly.............I have to remember that this is for a whole week......not just one day! Thanks again for your support!

Thank you so much for your replies on my budget "crisis". I think I'm sort of over it for now. I think I was just in shock when I added all the totals. I spent the day with my MOH and my family, so they all made me feel better being able to talk about it. My wedding is something I have dreamt about my whole life. I know I would regret not doing what I really want. It comforts me a little to know that other EDR couples are paying similar to what we are paying. Thanks again for your feedback! I don't know what I would do without all you girls!

Just currious what all your budgets are looking like for your wedding at EDR. Or, if you were recently married there, how much did you spend and how many guests did you have? Mine is getting close to $15,000! Our original budget was for $10K......ha! ha!......that didn't last long! I came home from work yesterday and updated our budget and was absolutely shocked how much we are spending already. We were also planning on having around 30 guests........now it looks like we will only be having 13 (including David and I). Which also means if we don't have the minimum of 16 guests we won't be able to have our private events either. AHHHHHH! We have included everything wedding related to our budget, such as flight, hotel, wedding bands, photography, flowers, dress, groom's attire, decorations, etc. Please let me know if this is the average cost of a wedding at EDR (even with our small guest list). I'm seriously looking at changing resorts, which I DO NOT even want to think about at this point! Please help!

I'm glad to see that other couples are having small weddings too. We originally thought we would have around 30 people, now it looks like about 15 (and that might even be over-estimating). All of our friends are in too much debt! I do like the idea of having a more intimate ceremony though. Then we can add a few fun excursions to do as a group!

We were dating for almost 4 years when we got engaged! Seems like a long time, but I know we weren't ready until now. Everything works out when it should!

We just bought our wedding bands yesterday. Mine is a Tacori 18 K white gold band which was $1380, and David's is a Love Story 14K white gold band for $730. It's more than we wanted to spend, but what the heck, these are forever!
