Hello! I got engaged January 17, 2009 and we've decided on a destination wedding at Dreams Tulum! We wanted something simple with not a lot of planning, but just choosing a destination was such a project. It feels so good to finally know where in the world we will marry We just confirmed the date so we're early in planning the logistics, but I'll write what I know...

Wedding website (link): we're using destinationweddings.com (I've had a great experience with them so far) - personal site in the works
Special arrangements / activities: we'd love a welcome event with a bonfire, and maybe a group cruise/snorkeling excursion
I'm happy to find this site. And so excited for October! Let me know if you're marrying around the same time - I'd love to share ideas and meet up at the resort.
Thank you!
Alysa
