Like so many have said before, its not what I thought I'd get but my heart fluttered when I put it on and it has pockets which sealed the deal. sorry for the bathroom pics. GREAT dress!! who is the designer

Don't pay extra for that if it's not included in your package, everyone at my rehearsal dinner was laughing saying wow I hope they didn't pay for that. Honey740, so you weren't impressed with the firework display. We were actually considering switching packages, I have an old package, my orig wedding date was May 23rd, right up until the swine flu hit & everyone in our wedding party panicked! Anyways, we have moved the date now to February and were thinking of upgrading to one of the newer packages. Now that I've read your comment I'm not so sure it's worth the extra money!

I don't know if someone else has posted these shoes elsewhere but I thought they were too cute to not tell everyone about. If you are having a starfish themed wedding and/or are looking for some awesome sandals, check these out! The fawn style is the one with four rhinestone stars. On the Yellow Box Shoes website they make them in gold, silver, white with gold stars, and black with silver stars. You can google "yellow box shoes fawn" to find places that sell them. My favorite style is the Eden. It only has the one star in the middle. I love the strappy look. There are four different colors, the straps are red, black, white, or turquoise. These shoes are adorable, THANKS so much for sharing the pics!

My wedding is in February too, but I haven't heard much feedback about the wind. The weather I think is a little less hot, I was in Cancun in May on vacation and it was definitely hot...I don't know how the brides that were standing out on the beach could stand it, because there is NO relief from the sun sitting out there!!

Quote: Originally Posted by nibsmom Yeah, I hear ya. I think that's why I'm feeling so ....dissatisfied...with everything right now. Never been there, don't know what it looks like, going a little crazy...LOL. Packing is going to be really crappy. I have NO idea how we're going to pull it off!!! I'm bringing my dress on as a carry on as well, apparently it will be fine as long as it's less than 22 pounds and on a wooden hanger. I'm flying Mexicana. I talked with one of their agents online, and she seemed to think everything would be just fine. We might have to check a fifth bag though - that will be expensive!!! Ladies--I just got back from Moon Palace in May, if you have any questions, just let me know!!! We are going back in Feb 2010 to get married there

I have been meaning to ask this question all week and have been so swamped. Has anyone heard of anyone getting sick from water or food at Moon Palace Just Curious!! The last time I heard of someone in a wedding party getting sick, it was after they ate/drank outside the resort. Tina--was just at Moon Palace for a visit in May, off the resort at the ruins and the restaurant we ate lunch at, and at the resort, they only served bottled water. The only time we used water from the faucet was brushing our teeth!! beautiful place for those who haven't been--we have 6-7 weddings while we were there...one of them was supposed to be ours! we are victims of the swine flu..but met with the wedding staff, toured all the grounds and various gazebos...and used it as a vacation..our wedding is now rescheduled for Feb, 2010

Did you hear from Kalena? I'm wondering because she was assigned to my my WC. My wedding date was 5.23, that was until the swine flu hit. Anyways, just curious how she is responding to you?

They are scanning people in the airports for your body temperature to see if it's elevated past what a normal body temp should be, and they are having people complete forms regarding their health--just an FYI.

My wedding is cancelled too, at least for this year! Now looking at 2010 dates! Already picked up my dress, already had my rings sodered together so now I can't wear them at all. this just sucks!! My heart goes out to all the other brides....

Quote: Originally Posted by BelizeBride This sucks. I am getting married in Belize next weekend and half of our guests have already cancelled. We're not even going to Mexico! I hate this f*&%ing flu. I am thankful that, as of now, my wedding is still scheduled to take place. I hate to think about all the weddings that have been cancelled. What about the brides whose weddings have been cancelled... what are you going to do during the week/weekend you were scheduled to be married? Are you going to go to work, go on a local vacation, sit at home and cry, etc? I hate to think about the brides who will be at work when they should be getting married on the beach! Amen to that sister!! I'm sick and tired of hearing swine flu crap! I'm one of those brides whose wedding got cancelled. We are still going to go ahead and go somewhere on vacation, and as for what I'm doing the day I was supposed to get married 5.23.09, I'm opting for the crying selection! followed by drinking! Thanks for the thread, cause the brides gotta vent somewhere!

I am supposed to be getting married in May 23, at the Moon Palace in Cancun. We have heard so many different stories about going down there. I feel like if we go a head go that a lot of our party will cancel too. What do you think we should do? We were supposed to leave May 18th - two weeks from tomorrow. CindyMcGue, I was supposed to be getting married on May 23 at Moon Palace in Cancun too!!! Our wedding time was 3:00pm. Unfortunately my guests have other plans due to the swine flu! So now we are looking at moving the date because nobody wants to attend. Are you guys going to go ahead and go?

Hey Danielle, I am going to have to cancel my wedding at Moon Palace in Cancun, which is only 3 weeks away! Like many others, my guests are bailing. We are now looking at getting married at Punta Cana, DR. I noticed you were married there, can you give me any advise? We are looking at the Moon Palace resort there. THANKS!

I've attached it, if you can't open it PM me and I'll email you a copy. drtracy--YOU TOTALLY ROCK!! thanks for sharing the wording for the ceremony! appreciate it

Quote: Originally Posted by drtracy YAY! Happy honeymoon and thanks so much for posting. I can't wait to get there and get my first margarita. I'll be there Monday if you're still there. So glad to hear it's going well there. I'm supposed to be getting married there on 5.23.09 but all my guests are cancelling! Glad it's working out for you!!

Quote: Originally Posted by Jodimichelle hey... I just signed my contract and I too am so confused as to which package i would like. Packages represent the color choice?? We plan on having a big group, so right now we have the "free package." I hope someone can help us out on this topic! Jodi Jodi..I originally choose one of the "packages" the problem is, if you don't like what comes in the "package" any deviation is at an extra cost, so you are probably much better off with the free package and then adding on. One of the other brides on this website gave the same comment, better off with the free and then adding on. Hope this helps.

I think a lot of people are doing the same thing, on the Cancun thread I read, basically everyone was having a ceremony in the US before they went and then having their destination ceremony as well. I just have to say i LOVE your flowers..absolutely beautiful.

Tears, support, complaints, anything you need to get out is welcome and hopefully we can help each other get back on the track to having a wedding of some sort. Hugs to all the swine brides out there...we are up to our ears in ETA: As of this afternoon...everything in my signature is B.S THANKS, I'm one of them!! Mine was scheduled on 5.23.09 at Moon Palace, I can't get anyone at the resort wedding office to even answer the phone or return my emails! Our guests are all cancelling. So the wedding I've been planning for 1.5 years is now non-existent. We are going to change the date and look for a new destination, and now I have to start over. what else can we do...

Quote: Originally Posted by Blkatz So we are in Mexico right now and literally 90% of my guests have canceled. I have not stopped crying since last night and I am feeling horrible.

We are supposed to get married in 23 days, 5.23.09 and people have basically completely bailed out. Our friends and family that have small children are too afraid of bringing something home, my elderly to be MIL. This week has been horrible, and now we are looking at cancelling our Moon Palace location and starting all over someplace else. I feel your pain.....basically numb at this point...don't know what else to do..since you guys are already there go ahead and get married on the beach!! then maybe come back home and have something that everyone can attend...a reception..

Quote: Originally Posted by Kara&Ryan Because of the swine flu Sunquest Vacations has canceled all flights until June to Mexico.... meaning : MY DREAM WEDDING IS CANCELED. I am in shock right now.... I dont even know what to think Kara&Ryan, we are thinking of cancelling our wedding as well. Mine is 5.23.09 at the Moon Palace Resort. Our guests are scared to death, my future mother-in-law is elderly, several guests have small kids & are afraid of taking some home. I'm so sorry for you, I know exactly how you feel! We've been dating for 4.5 years and engaged for 1.5 organizing this wedding and now 24 days away, we are thinking of cancelling it. Our TA says to wait another week, but even in a week, who is going to feel comfortable going to Mexico! My sincerest apologies...so sorry for you.

Especially the ones with children, everyone is worried about contracting the flu on the resort, or from someone else on our flights. We are actually thinking about changing our destination now, and maybe at this point, moving it back a couple of months. I've been totally sad this whole week. But you can't put a price on people's health, I'd never forgive myself if somebody got sick during our trip.
