Sounds like a plan . Happy Birthday by the way.

Dez thats awesome. totally stalk me ill love that hahaha. We will be there on the 18th so even if you wanna get together for drinks before my wedding and after yours that would be fun! We will be just hanging out by the pool anyway!

I picked up my dress yesterday. If you wanna take a look its here at the link below. Its an alfred angelo dress and the style number is 1870. I LOVE it. I didnt get it through the website though and I got a better price Wedding Dresses, Prom Dresses, Wedding Accessories at BestBridalPrices.com

You guys have been busy! Pookie good luck with everything and an early congrats to you!!!! Erinjosh I am getting married the friday after you at 3pm. Im having a cocktail hour right after and then we are just gonna pick a restaurant and go have dinner and have a good time there. I hear they section off the restaurant depending on which one you choose. You know Im mad because I asked my girl in FL if i can request the site for my cocktail hour and she said I had to wait. Im thinking of calling Mexico myself and asking them. But i cant call from work. I wonder if my boss would realize the Mexico call on his phone bill. HAHA. I want the terrace thats closest to the beach. I forgot which one it was called. But i am getting married on the beach as well. Dez how are things with you an your FI. better I hope

Welcome Back Sharla you looked stunning. Thank you for sharing your wedding pictures with us!!

The house I live in would have cost me atleast 500,000 on Long Island, and we didnt pay half of that. When are you getting married? I have about a year to go but am getting a lil frantic about it. =] We are getting married January 23, 2009. 199 days from today actually. We've hit that under 200 days mark haha. I have this freaky thing about the number 123 and Im so psyched i have that as our wedding date. haha im strange. Im in Port Jefferson now and there is just no way i can afford anything around here.

Hopefully some of the other girls can help me with that proble. As we are having a small wedding 10-15 guests we are'nt having a reception, just a cocktail hour and a meal at one of the restaurants. Just need to decide on which restaurant now. Have you chosen a dress yet? I just orderd mine, its a Farage dress, never heard of them untill i tried it on. Its got a very spanish look to it. Cant wait to wear it now!! xx TAM thats what I am doing as well. we are only having about 20 people (if that) at our wedding and we are going to do a cocktail hour then pick a restaurant. What restaurant where you thinking of? i have no idea of mine i have to wait to see who is coming to see what food they would eat haha. Then when we get back to NY we are having a reception.

One question: If we pick the "free" wedding package, do we have to put any money down to reserve our date (since they require 50% down 14 days after confirmation?) Just curious how much $$ we would need to fork out up front. Thanks for your help guys! Evelyn I LOVE your ticker....i love ladybugs.

I'm a native long islander. =] I kinda miss it every now and again... haha.. btw... just went out and got martha's new summer wedding mag... i am only going to start reading it AFTER i do the laundry... ! Weird Ive never heard of Trash the Dress. Do you really trash the dress? haha. im intrigued by this now. Thats funny what part of L.I. are you from originally? We are thinking of moving to NC after we get married and I graduate from Grad school. But i dont know. My fiance is an architect and hes better off near NYC. I just want a big house that doesnt cost as much as it does here...its rediculous. I can dream though can't I.

I am sure the brides on this thread who have been there can tell you from experience. =] you are going there this August to check it out Girl you better bring us some good photos!

Ive seen it several times...what does TTD stand for? its driving me mad!

Wow thats a really good idea. (And it gives me something to do while Im at work) Thanks Pookie!

I hope this forum helps you through it. : ) Thanks Actually the forum makes me think about even more things that i have to take care of. I keep bringing it up to my fiance and hes threatened to take my lap top away haha. oopsies

I feel completely helpless. I feel like i cant plan anything because it is too far in advance but i know i have so much to do. I hate waiting on stuff this is the worst.

Jennifer I dont think you can have the ceremony anywhere like that. I think they have all wedding ceremonys at the designated locations that they offer. I hope for your sake im wrong but I do know for a fact that all weddings take place on the Nizuc (Spelling?) side of the resort.

oh my goodness my mind is getting more and more boggled with all these choices. I cant imagine what you guys are going through when you have only 1 month to go when i have 7! I wish you so much luck and patience.

wow thats kinda cool you can decide your own cake. i was ready to have whatever they threw in front of my guests haha. Thanks for the Info.

OK I just got this email from my FL lady: Hi Karin; The actual ceremony is about 30 minutes. If you wish to do a sand ceremony after you may but you will have to bring your own vow and do it with the groom. The officiator will not do the sand ceremony.

So ive decided to finally get off my ass and start working out. I went to the gym and i took a yoga class last night...no one ever told me you get to lay down and relax half the time. I do that on my couch how come THATS not called yoga!

Oh my god Ill have to ask Yudelka in FL to see if I can send her what I have written out for my sand ceremony. Its not religious at all so I dont see how it would be an issue. Once i hear from her about it ill let you girls know. Pookie, do you know what else your JP will say in addition to the sand ceremony? Do they tell you anything about it once you are assigned a WC?

Welcome Jennifer you will fit in nicely here we have a lot of ideas and questions that we throw out there and everyone is a lot of help. Feel free to ask anything and dont be shy to share what you find it is useful if we realize it or not

Im trying to find the heart shape vases that they show as pourers somewhere in a store so i can see them
