OMG! That's so awesome that you both get to be in Barcelona during the final game. Please take lots of pics and share them with me. The city is going to be crazy if Barca wins!!!! Yeepee! Philly 2010!!! That's really cool that your husband is participating in supporting the new MLS team (# 16 I think). So any insider news on what's gonna be the team name? BTW Barcelona is scheduled to play Galaxy & Seatle in August, as their pre-season! I'm so looking forward to going to that game in Los Angeles... Take care and have a wonderful trip! Enjoy and take lots of pics

F*king basterd!! Only one more game to go, and he leaves ...like a cowerd! we watch games almost everyday, but I dont always join the gang, only the big games! Well enjoy your Man U. and Barcelona game, Husb. will be watching too, I will probably be bringen the beer of and on :-).. Voetbal! huh. Thanks for teaching me something new! That totally sucks what Marco did... He should had completed the project at least. I guess he couldn't handle that 4-0 defeat... I'm sure Ajax will do well next year, maybe you guys can get Frank Rijkaard as a coach :0) I'm a fan of PSV in the Eredivisie and they weren't that hot this year either, I think Ajax is higher in the standings. BTW I'm a huge Netherland National team fan - I cried and cried when they got elimiated in the Euro Cup. After they kick butt the entire tournament, it was really sad to see them lose and be eliminated:0( Well I hope you all enjoy the game as well and keep the drinks flowing! ~Susan

That is so sweet that you took BD pics withe the Lampard Jersey, he is gonna love it! C. Ronaldo is such a hootie and an awesome player, but he soooo conceited, but then again if I had that talent, the looks and the money, I probably would be too

Welcome to the forum!

So I'm a huge futbol (Soccer, Football.. whatever you call it) fan and decided to take the day off from work, due to the Champions league game and so I can catch up on my DYI projects for the wedding. Boi I'm glad that I decided to stay home! The Chelsea vs. Barcelona game was absolutely awesome (at the end ) and totally worth me taking a "sick" day from work... The issue is that I'm a Man U. and Barcelona fan... and they are playing each other in the finals!!! The good thing is that the final is during our honeymoon, so FI and I are soo looking forward to chilling in the Riviera Maya and watching the game So excited! I'm counting the days till our wedding and the Champions league final (I know I'm sick!) Hope there are more futbol fans in the forum ~Susana

I think I heard someone say it was $55 per person but I'm not sure if that's accurate. Thanks! That's correct. However, if the guest isn't staying at the resort then it's more (not sure of the amount thou).

Welcome back Mrs. can't wait to hear the details. Congrats!

Great review Andi and congrats! Thanks so much for all the pointers.

OK here are the pics that I have. Please keep in mind that these are from the first few weddings that they had at the VM and I got these in January (they opened in mid December) If anyone else has more updated pics please post.

I asked for pics but haven't received any yet. I do have some pics that Yolanda send me back in January. I'll search for them and I'll post them soon.

So sorry to hear that. We are on the tight budget too and we bought shopped around for great deals on EVERYTHING. Not getting carried away was the hardest thing for me. You can still plan a wonderful wedding with a tight budget. Please feel free to PM when you need finding a specific item. Best of luck, Susana
