Thanks everyone for the great comments!! Â TLGnhci - The BM dresses were from the Dessy Collection and After Six. They had the brightest color options and a variety of styles available in the same fabrics, and not too bad on price either which is always nice.

My hubby thinks Kathy is Britney's mom too! I thought it was Annie and Brendon but once I found out she was the saboteur that went out the window. So who knows, I'm kinda glad Annie's gone, she was annoying. I'm excited about the rest of the season, i hope it's good!

I went through the same thing with my husband and you're right, go now or it'll be really frustrating in the winter to try to find beach wedding attire! My hubby said the same thing about losing weight and he didn't lose any, I mean even if he lost 10 pounds I would've been OK with having his suit altered. Instead we were looking in Sept/Oct for his suit to wear in November and couldn't find any. If you're just looking for pants you probably won't have that hard of a time but you might need to buy online. The khakis in the stores in the winter will be heavier and probably not what you're looking for. Good luck!

I watched the first episode last night and was so happy to see the 2nd one was on too so I watched that one afterwards. I think Kathy is the saboteur...I mean she was in that caramel for forever, you would think she'd have enough strength to get out of that. The only thing is I don't think she moved when the lights went out but then again these shows are sneaky, ya never know. My 2nd guess is the swim coach. I'm overwhelmed by all the boobs in the show, the girls really had them all out there from the get go. I'm jealous of you ladies that have Showtime....keep us posted with any juicy things that happen!!!

I like Mexico's idea too, I could see the last name martini really sticking around for a long long time, good idea!

Aahh I'm happy you said something, I used to love that show! It's a great one to watch since my hubby likes it, I'll have to set it up to record, thanks!

Or maybe something in spanish, like azultini (azul for blue), playatini (playa for beach), amortini (amor for love)....just start plugging in words on an online translator. But I like your suggestions too, can't go wrong as long as the drink is tastey!!

Congrats rosieposie you survived your first session!!! At least the 2nd time around you'll know what to expect and the fallout from this session will make you want to go back and struggle through it. As long as you slather on that cream your underarms shouldn't be as bad, good luck, can't wait to hear how this all turns out for you!

Ha ha a saran wrap bikini bottom is awesome...truly hilarious. Good luck at your consultation rosieposie, I'll be tuning in to hear how it goes!!

Good luck, you'll love it! I had it done to my underarms and legs and I'm so thankful I did. I used to shave my underarms daily because I couldn't stand any prickly feeling there but now I only do it once a week to get the few stragglers. Just make sure you put the numbing creme on before you go in for your first visit. They failed to tell me about that before my first appointment so I went for it without it and thought I was going to pass out from the pain. Legs didn't really bother me, just around the shin and ankle but nothing compared to the underarm pain.... I would love to do my bikini area but I'm too chicken, hats off to you ladies that have done that! But I'm curious...when I put the numbing creme on my underarms I had to wrap saran wrap around them to make sure it stayed in contact with my skin and didn't rub off on my clothes. How did you use it for your bikini area?

Great review, can't wait to see more pics, you looked beautiful!! And the cake is hilarious, glad you had a backup and could laugh it off!

Congratulations on your fabulous wedding, you looked beautiful!!

Ladies you're making me worry for you, I feel so bad this gazebo renovation has made you question your choice in resorts!! Dreams Cancun isn't the fanciest but the setup and location is ideal. The size is perfect as you'll always run into someone from your party so they always feel included. The resort itself isn't a party spot but if you have a fun group you can make your own party. Plus if there are couples there they might just want a relaxing vacation environment, not every night needs to be a party. It's so close to all the action for those that do want to go clubbing they have many options, I highly recommend Bulldog, we had a blast. If you can work out a deal to get your group in there for a decent rate then that's perfect. Everyone at Dreams really tries to insure you have a great time and they provide excellent service, they'll take care of you. Don't worry about your group having fun, if they can't have fun in that beautiful location then something's wrong with them, not with your planning!!

I agree, take your rings just make sure they're insured or keep them on. Just one note though...my first time snorkeling was on our honeymoon and my 'honey' told me that I shouldn't have worn my wedding rings since they attract barracuda. He grew up in FL and was a diver so I freaked when he told me that, and the fact that he waited until we were getting on the boat to tell me!! I figured he had a hefty insurance policy on me already...lol I kept them on but stayed close to our guide in case there were any incidents. So you might want to leave them in the safe if you go diving or snorkeling, just to be safe.....

I just voted, she's a doll, I hope you win!

My group didn't participate in the activities....just enjoyed the sun, drinks, and food! They have a schedule with the activities like yoga, volleyball, bingo, etc so if your group wants to join in it could be fun. As for the club next door I wouldn't rely on that for an after party location unless you have a really lively group. Of course I'm sure it depends on what time of year you're there but in November there wasn't a soul in there if there wasn't a show. Plus you only get 2 free drinks so the free party won't last too long. If you take the party off the resort to one of the nearby clubs you're looking at $40-50 a person for a cover and the night life doesn't pick up until at least 11 or later. I'd suggest at least taking an ipod and renting the speakers to make your own party...

I found the certificate, it's funny because they spelled Rob's last name incorrectly on it...oh well. Her name is Roxana Fernandez Macias, we could easily follow her and she was very sweet. I saw some of those other reviews too so was expecting the worst, we were pleased so if you get her I'm sure you will be too. Now I need to search her name to see if anyone included her in their review!!

That's funny I didn't even realize how far in the gazebo they were until just now. I didn't plan it that way I guess it just naturally made sense for them to stand under the gazebo. We were at the edge in front of them so people could see us, and the poles for the gazebo are so small I'm sure everyone could see the bridal party too. I guess if you have a bigger bridal party it would make sense to switch that up since they might not all fit under the gazebo. We just used their ceremony vows since my goal was not to cry and if I wrote my own vows I knew I would. It was nice and the lady officiant was really sweet and easy to understand. It's funny that I don't remember when we signed the certificate, I'd say before our final vow and kiss....good reason to watch my video tonight so I can report back!!

I saw a pic like that on one of my many searches so I had to copy the pose. It took a while for my niece to get a good hold of her dress, she kept dropping it so I'm surprised it turned out so well....

I just pulled out my spring/summer clothes to switch over my closet and found my Dreams bill with my swimsuits! I was only charged for 1 centerpiece rather than 2...assuming that was an error. The centerpiece was $71.....

I LOVE your dress, you made a beautiful bride, thanks for sharing!!!

Hi Carolina 24 I looked for my receipt but couldn't find it....I think it was all in spanish and we didn't really understand it so I threw it out during my wedding clean-up. My contract showed $60-120 for each extra centerpiece. One was free since it was used for the ceremony table so I only had to pay for 2 extra. I want to say they were around 80 each so just a slight notch up from the basic.

I ask b/c we have the Ultimate package as well and it doesn't say anthing about center pieces so I was going to take them down myself. it would really help out if they were just included....thanks! Hmmm...you know you might be right, maybe it's just the ceremony table that's included. I'll look at my paperwork tonight to see the cost breakdown and let you know what I was charged.

It's a BCBG dress and had a grey feather pin that I took off for the pics. I picked it up at Dillard's, they were having a great sale on their dresses so of course I picked up 4. I'm having shopping withdrawals now that I don't have the wedding/honeymoon as an excuse to shop!

Thanks everyone for your sweet comments!! Quote: Originally Posted by toriOary Congratulations on the wedding and huge thank yous for the review it was excellent! Your wedding colors are similar how mine are, I have the fushia pink and the other half and I keep going back and forth on either green or blue as they 2nd color. Quick question in regards to your center peices for the table - can you remember how much they charged you for these? They were really pretty thanks for your help, congrats once again, Tori toriOary - Our centerpieces were included in the Ultimate package so no additional charge. She tried to put one on the ceremony table but it kept falling over so keep that in mind if your day is windy, maybe ask for a lower one for the ceremony table. I didn't mind, didn't even realize there weren't any flowers on that table until she told me about it. As for your colors I think either blue or green with pink will be beautiful, it's so hard to choose!
