Joss

Ladies, it's been a long time since i've been on this forum. Just wanted to say "congrats" to all the recently married ladies, and well wishes to the ladies whose weddings are coming up. I leave for the airport in 3 hours and am pretty stoked to: 1. see some sun and not snow, and 2. finally get married!

Hey ladies, it's been a long time since i've been on here, but wanted to say congrats to all the recently married ladies, and soon to be ladies. I leave tomorrow, well, more like in 3 hours for the airport, and am pretty stoked to finally be on my way. Take care everyone!

I'm sorry you girls are going through all that trouble with the food and the photographers. I will see what I can find out when I have my meeting with Karla. That is beyond awesome your time is already here. Have an amazing time!

Hello to all the new Bahia brides. I can't believe the drama going on with the photographer situation! We put down a deposit with Claudia back in June, and this is the first i've heard anything about the change in outside vendors. I hope it works out for us! Here's a site I found that lists restaurants at the Gran Bahia Complex. We were given our choice of 2 restaurants, since we were the first wedding booked that day. If you're only given one option, it might be because another bride had booked before you. Our travel agent told us there are maximum 2 weddings per resort / day. BAHIA-GOURMET.COM ::::

Love the photos Janet. Looks like you had gorgeous weather. Congrats.

That's great Jenn. Now, that pesky social business

It would be great if they could accomodate us at the buffet, that way I'm not making all my guests use up another of their à -la-carte options. Gonna definitely look into that. So, Joss, we are almost "date twins"? How close are we? What is your exact wedding day? January 27th! I haven't really found anyone else close to this date, though i'll be on the Tulum side.

I had a great experience at David's Bridal. I actually was just at Stella's here in Winnipeg with my friend who is looking for a dress and I noticed that they have a rack of dresses for destination weddings. Sweet info. I'm picking up my dress this Saturday. I'm torn between having alterations done there or locally (i'd prefer locally actually). Where did you have your alterations done in Winnipeg? Were you happy with the end product? Would you recommend them?

Hey Janet, thanks for the review. Your pictures are absolutely gorgeous. Emme, how exciting! You're so close.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to answer the many questions asked. Our wedding date is set for January 30, 2010. We chose the Bahia Principe Akumal. It was a super-difficult decision because BP Tulum and BP Coba are fantastic too!! I'm so excited about this trip and our wedding on the beach!!!! This forum has helped me to know what to expect and has already made the experience a lot more "relaxed". Thank you - thank you - thank you!!! That being said, I'll probably have tons of questions once we get closer to the date, when I am required to make actual decisions!!! Cheers!!! Cookie Welcome and congrats Cookie. You are the closest person i've found to a "date twin" yet!

Yikes! That is beyond words.

Ladies, this is a shout out to let you know I just bought Bubba kegs on sale for 50% off at Canadian Tire. It puts them at $5.99 per mug vs. $12.99 (they're the 20oz kegs).

For the Canadian girls, i just bought 26 Bubba kegs on sale for 50% off at Canadian Tire. It puts them at $5.99 per mug vs. $12.99 (they're the 20oz kegs).

Hey Moe, that's a bummer about them no longer carrying them. I'd need about 25 pairs or so.

hardly : dearly

Great find, thanks. Tam, it took me a while to find it also. Here's a link: Navy and Lavender ? Fine Gifts & Favors

On another note I am very interested in knowing where everyone got their invitations done, if it was with a local company or if they made them themselves ? We want to do photo invitations done and am not very DIY savey and have been struggling with this the most out of everything...ugh Thanks for the heads up. I emailed her and am waiting to hear back. As for our photo invitations, we did a postcard type one with the stamp as a photobooth picture of us (I'd post a picture but I'm still a tool at that kind of stuff). A friend of mine is a graphic designer, so that helped! Quote: Originally Posted by Ryan's girl I looked into it a little bit before my wedding but ran out of time to do it. So I decided to save it and get BD photos done for a one year anniversary gift. Here are a couple of the photogs that I found... Elcheshens 231-1234 (When I called them, they told me it was a $95 session fee, pretty reasonable I thought) Kamp photography 792-8217 Nghia Tran photography 997-6946 Those are some I came across too. None of them showed examples of their portfolio in this area. I came across one girl's BD photos on here that were utterly gorgeous! (but her photographer is in New York). Keep me posted and let me know how you like your photog. I may end up doing them afterwards also.

I did end up buying my dress from David's Bridal. It should be here at the end of September, yippee! I would love to know where you got your alterations done, and if you were happy with them. It's crazy hard finding a tailor / seamstress without going through a bridal shop, and definitely not one that takes months to do. I'm curious, how was the duty and tax coming through the border?

Sol, everytime i see examples of yours and Matt's work, i feel incredibly lucky to have booked you for our TTD the in February 2010! We are SO looking forward to it Especially coming from the land of ice and snow, hopefully we'll have thawed out by then.

Brilliant. These are some of the best invitations i've ever seen. You're guest will love them.

Nice choice. It's classy yet flowy and romantic looking. Mon cheri definitely has nice dresses.
