Okay so here is the question that came to me at 2am this morning: Has anyone else gotten married before you left for you wedding? My FI and I keep throwing the idea around since our witnesses are not able to arrive until the day befor we get married. Thoughts?

I am so excited that I have to share with everyone! I have the best big sister ever! A couple of weeks ago she came to me and said " How much do you trust me?" I said " a ton!" she said "I am going to make you wedding invites! What color do you want, what accent color do you want and any special design?" I was blown away that she was offering to do this for me! I told her she was crazy and that I did not want her obsessing over having to do this for me. So she gave them to me this weekend and as soon as I saw them I started to cry, they are more than I ever thought they would be. Here is the finished product: All I have to say is she is the best sister a girl getting married could ask for!

Aslo, where did you order your flower girl basket from? Thanks! Carina- Thanks for the imput on the DJ, my FI and I are not big dancers so I am glad someone else agrees that it might not be worth it. I want to be able to have our first dance, a dance with my dad, the traditional dances ect. I am going with a starfish theme for my wedding and my sister is wearing turqouise and my niece a off white dress (to match mine) with a turqouise bow (to match my sister) so I was able to find a basker with turqouise and starfish on the web. See the link below, there are a few others I had found too, if you want I can post those too. Beach Wedding Favors - Island Wedding Shop Melissa

Sorry Ladies, it has been a couple of days. Sunbride thanks for the measurments of the gazebo, that helps so much. Now I have two new questions, it the DJ worth the price? I am totally worried about the hotel photographer not getting the pictures that I want, does anyone have suggestions on a reasonable outside photographer? I am very excited though, I ordered my flower girl basket and ring pillow, and also our favors. More things to check off the list!

Does anyone know the dementions of the gazebo? I am trying to figure out how much tule and stuff I need to buy. Totally got so much stuff done this weekend. Found my flower girl dress, and GM and FI attire. Ordered my invites, and bought half the stuff for my OOT bags. Also got my hair piece too and I totally in love with it that I want to wear it to work tomorrow. Also as of this mornin we have 24 people booked. Both my FI and I thought we were just going to have this small wedding with just our parents there, and it is so turning into much more. It just makes so much more exciting.

I too am getting married in January, and for two adults with airfare, transfers, room and food, they are paying $1339.99 per person and that is for 5 days and 4 nights.

Wow this is an amazing form. Hats off to you Sunbride. Listed below is my info, please add me when you have time. Look forward to posting and listing my thoughts and ideas.

Hi everyone! I too am a January 2009 bride. Adam and I (Melissa) are getting married January 29,2009 at Dreams Tulum. We are very excited. So far we have 11 people booked and 8 still trying to figure out when they are arriving and leaving. I ordered my save the date cards and invites this week and can't wait to see the finished products. I got my dress and my BM dress too, still looking for a flower girl dress for my niece, but have seen quite a few, just need to narrow it down. Still need to decide what my FI is wearing as well as the GM and Ring Bearer. I have almost everything planned at the hotel, and get more and more excited as the days get closer!

I too have been waiting days to here back from Caludia. I got an email on 6/26/08 from her telling me my day was open, I sent a responce back within the hour of receiving her message telling her to reserve the date and send me what I need to reserve the date. I got a responce 6 days later telling me my date is now not available and that I can get married the day before, too bad we won't be in the country for 4 business days yet. So now I am not sure if I actually have to be there 4 business days before or not? I am so confused and just want to book my date.

Hi my name is Melissa. I am currently in talks with Dreams Cancun for a January 29, 2009 wedding. Communication is slow, anyone who can help or has advise please let me know.
