Hi everyone! I have some catching up to do! How has everyone been?

I noticed the flower info........my lady Sharon has been terrific and I will receive all my flowers on Saturday - yeah!

Nicole

That is a great idea. I will look more into that as well. Thanks girls!

Hi Dez,

thanks......we will be in a Presidential suite, so we kind of have our own room - kind of not. A spa package sounds really good. I will look at my options today.

okay - need all of your help!

First ~ what do we give our WC? Any ideas? Do we also give something to all the other people working our wedding?

Also, and this is a good one! Today it dawned on me that I haven't put any thought in to what I give my husband for our 20th anniversary. This is really bad of me. He doesn't want a new ring - he said the ceremony could be my new ring because he is satisfied with his. So.....I wonder what the world I should give him. He is very picky, gets everything that he wants - he doesn't ask for much. If you guys have any suggestions - please, please tell me.

YOU LOOKED ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! Thank you for sharing your story.

You are lucky in the sense that you do have time. You also have more time to be picky and get exactly what you want ) Your hair looks pretty in your avator, by the way. Up is probably a great option....remember very humid! I need to start hair style shopping myself. The only thing I know is that I want flowers in it.

Do they (MP) really charge $10 extra per person for the ceremony on the beach? That is not fair! Yes....seaweed is a problem, but mostly right next to the water. Keep in mind sand getting in the food and drink )

Hey there! Let's keep our chin up ~ it all has to work out, right? Pookie - I noticed you and I both visited the "alternative flower" thread. I went ahead and bought the flowers. They look gorgeous. Are you going to get them? I am still doing real flowers at the resort, but unfortunately those are adding up fast! So for $249 (including shipping) I ordered my bouquet, MOH, bridesmaid, grooms, 2 groomsmen, mother corsage, hair flowers (I think 7 total) and 5 cake flowers. I read all the reviews she has on Ebay and they were all good. Let's keep our fingers crossed that they are all they are supposed to be. We are running out of time!

Keep posting girls! Dez, anything new from the resort? Anyone else?

Nicole

fyi - we are having a symbolic ceremony and we are married already. Our WC asked us if our guests knew that we are already married. I believe they know how to make the ceremony appear as if this is the "only" ceremony you will have. Anyone ask before? just tell them this is your wedding ceremony. Who would inquire as to that anyway....weird.

Just received an update on Moon Palace Grand - 300 Presidentials and 700 Jacuzzi - so I was wrong ) They have some rooms open now and the rest along with the lobby will be open in late 2008.

I know Lake Terrace is pretty far from the wall and the beach. Its one of those terraces that you cross when you walk between buildings. I'm using that for my reception and I dont really care, its just so beautiful everywhere.

 

 

 

Yeah - the entire resort is awesome. I don't think we can go wrong any where. What are you doing with all your centerpieces? Just curious. Make sure you wrap them tightly in bubblewrap before going. Is there anyway anyone traveling with you guys can put them in their carry-on bags. I think you might be more succesful with bags than boxes. Also, remember all the airlines are going whack right now.

 

I do get there on the 22nd - this is our actual 20th anniversary date. Your wedding is on my birthday ) I may go take a peek at your wedding if that is okay. Let me know the details on the cocktail - that is nice of you. Maybe me and my husband can swing by and wish you well and all that great stuff. I am excited for you! Also, what time is your ceremony? If it is okay, I may just look from far away. I love weddings!

 

Right now the planning is kind of at a stand still. I am waiting for my WC to contact me again and still have flowers, OOT bags, gifts, music etc to purchase and plan. I know it will all work out. We do not have nearly the planning that you and all the other new brides have to do. I wish I did, but I am 20 years too late on that one. I am just going to buy all my centerpieces in Cancun from the resort. I do not feel like dealing with all that. Lucky for me, I bought my airline tickets far enough in advance that I still get the two bags per person and we have 6 traveling together. I think everything that I need to buy will still work out that way. Still a pain trying to figure out how it will all be packed, but thats okay.....

 

We get therer on the 22nd and stay until the 30th. Our ceremony is on the 26th - I would love for you guys to come if interested. After all, You can see what you can do in 20 years!

 

Take care!

Nicole

Sharla - that is awesome news for you! I am excited. Man....next week ~ must be nice ) Please remember to email us when you get back! I am dying to see how everything turned out!

Nicole

Hey Pookie - How is the planning coming? You are right around the corner! Are you really excited yet?

The only difference's I see in the gazebo's are the sides. It goes from North to South, Bugambilia, Catholic, and Tucan

Hopefully no one gets angry for hogging up so much space with these pictures.....but here is another view of the Chapel Gazebo

I think (almost positive) this is the Bugambilla Gazebo with the Bugambilla Terrace right next to it! You will be closer to sunrise side this way and will not have to walk as far to dinner.

Thanks Melissa,

I have Kalena and Maria Pillar in Cancun - Maria is the supervisor. I also have Kathy in Miami. Kalena was extremely slow getting back to me, however she did call me the other day and we talked for about 45 minutes on questions that I had. I am still waiting for her to get the rest of the information to me. As a matter of fact, that was last Friday that I spoke to her. Hmmm??

Maybe they need to know the people's name in the ceremony so they can type it in the witness area - the place that they will have to sign. That kind of makes sense to me. I am already married so I do not have to have witnesses sign our marriage license this time.

I am going to review my questions...you may have someone with a little more time.

Thanks!

Melissa I didn't get that last form. What type of ceremony are you having and you might have told me, but where are you having it?

Also, who is your WC - both Miami and Cancun?

Hi Melissa!

Barracuda - you will notice while at the resort, you will see a wide array of clothing at night - shorts and flipflops to full blown dress. Unfortunately, you will also see this at the restaurant. Your dinner will be separate from everyone else though. We are also having our wedding dinner there and it is sit down - they serve you - whole nine yards. I believe this is the only restuarant that has sit down for the amount of people both you and I are having.

Thanks for putting the favor prices down - I have yet to get that. Was there anything else listed on that? I have everything else you had listed to include the DJ information. Any other information they gave you?

Also, Barracuda - there is more than jsut steak. It is not known for "Seafood" because there is a seafood restuarant, but they have seafood and other things also. I am chosing this one because of the sit down, but also because I do know they have good food. You will not go wrong here.

Thanks,

Nicole

Hi Lor - having children doesn't make it so you can't wear white ( Anyway....I have recently learned that it doesn't matter what anyone thinks or says -we all need to do what makes ourselves happy. Ivory is beautiful! Who is making your silk flowers?

Hi Siobhan! Welcome to this forum! You should be able to find great information here - I know I did. Have fun planning.
