ugh-I am having such an issue with FI outfit. I have an idea of what I want him to wear but it is still freezing cold out here and no one has linen pants right now! Had anyone else gotten their FI outfit yet? Oh and by the way-I am officially out of control with my OOT bags

I actually think this is a really cool idea. But, I am slightly worried. I know the actual ceramony and the coctail hour will be way over by the time the game starts. I was thinking about having my reception on the beach but now I am rethinking my decision! I guess I would rather not have my reception right next to the cheering sports fans! Anyway, any idea about where they set up at so I can choose a reception location farther away, as opposed to right next to it? When I was there they had some movies on the beach and it was right in front of the activity pool on the beach. Hope that helps

Hope this helps for those who need to book. Katie That is the same as my guests-Thursday to Monday. Orbitz and Expedia are among the only places left that have any rooms open. The resort is totally sold out. Our friend just booked through orbitz and was shocked at how cheap it was

your pictures are so great! What did you have for dinner at the reception? Also-how cool is it you had your own bar??

FYI LADIES!!!! So I just got a call from one of my best friends that the resort is totally booked!!! I just called my mother in law who is a travel agent and she confirmed this. I am shocked because I never thought it would fill up like this in the 1st week of May. Any suggestions

Joseph-I bought my scarves from you also and they were great! Came in 2 days and were excellent quality! Thanks again-Beth

I am a little excited to try this! Thank you for the detailed instructions Rach!

Any questions you have please send me a PM and I will print out and take with me when I meet with Landy and Anabel on Friday morning. jen-will you find out what the deal is for the "welcome dinner" I feel like I am getting the run around about it. I want to have it either in the wine cellar or El Patio and I am willing to pay the $750. Will you take tons of pictures of everything??

I LOVE THE HANGING ORCHIDS!!!!!! how did you do it? how long did you make the line? I need details because I want it for my wedding

hanging orchids? What is this Do you have a picture??

wow! Time is flying by!!! Do you have all of your stuff together? How are you getting all of your stuff down there?

OMg-you are so close!! When do you leave?

can you do 40 people at the wine cellar? If so, then I would do it there.

I did it for my bikini line and I love it. I saw results after the 4th session. The hair grows back just very differently and much less. I use to have to shave all the time and worry about it when I would go to the beach-now maybe I shave every other week.

I am so confused right now and I hope someone can help me. When I was down at DT for my site visit I remember Natalia telling me for a $750 fee we could use one of the restaurants-well, now I asked her about that for our Friday night welcome dinner and she has to "ask the wedding manager"...ugh. I dont know what I will do for the welcome dinner since we are almost 40 people. By the way-we want the buffet so I told them that we were 50 people. I guess with the photographer and her assistant, the video guy and our DJ we could be there.

I dont think I signed a contract but I definitely wired the deposit to a bank of america account. I also asked a very good friend of mine to look over the contract since she is a lawyer and she said everything looked kosher and not to worry. A ton of girls have used him also and I felt very comfortable doing this.

I feel like I might be annoying because I have some questions for you! I love that you had your own private bar-how did that occur? Did you bring your own chair sashes down? Did you have the buffet and what was your menu? Did you do a welcome dinnre? I am sure that I will have some others-just need to think

LOVE YOUR PICTURES SARAH!! How many people did you have at the wedding? Everything looks so great.

One other question for everyone... when you had your rehearsal dinner did you do it as a private dinner in one of the restaurants? I am trying to help my FI figure out all the details for this. Do they still charge you around 55 dollars for each person, since it is technically a private event? Thanks I just emailed Natalia about this the other day. I will let you know what she says ASAP

Oh girls, what are you doing for kids? We have our 8 year old nephew, who is also the FI's godson going. I'm not sure what to do for him? I'm thinking of grabbing some lego's. We're going on a cruise so beach toys is out of the question. I'm really at a loss. We have a few kids going also Cattie. I was thinking about putting coloring books, beach balls, goggles and little toys in their bags.

I keep seeing money fly out my wallet and I do not like that feeling Thank goodness I got a lot done already! You are only 5 days after me!

Mine came in a few weeks ago also. I have a fitting on Thursday night. I was like you ladies, I totally forgot what my dress looked like until I went there! On another note, I just ordered my wedding band and gold is SUPER expensive! I almost cried when they told me how much the ring was!!! Has anyone else had this problem

You can have that many people on the beach or at the pool.

awesome-thank you for clearing up that for me Neen. I can not wait for your review!

I wired the money through my bank to his account at Bank of America with no problems.
