So actually I do want to change the title to size 8 but I am not sure how. Help! :-) allison

Just bumping this thread. The dress is still available! Its really gorgeous. allison

Oh my god, or "Little Miss Magic" by Jimmy Buffett. I know my dad likes that song a lot too. So tough!

I'm really thinking about the song "God Only Knows" by the beach boys. I love it but I'm still contemplating. allison

Ok, I'm sorry the dress is actually a size 8. allison

Please see the above post from Bali. This shows what the dress looks like on me. I am having trouble posting pics. I do have the pic of the model wearing it as well. My email is [email protected]. Please email me if you would like that picture and some more details. Thanks!!

I have decided to sell my wedding dress and go with more of a simple evening gown. I do LOVE the dress but can't justify keeping it, as our wedding is going to be very low key. However, it is gorgeous and will make some bride very happy. It was over a $1000 when we bought it and I'm selling it for $500 obo. I can provide pictures if interested. It has NOT been altered and is a size 10. Very light and flowy!! Email me if interested. Allison Stroud

Oh yes, I'm curious about this one too. I'm getting married June 14th. I am having a sunset wedding so hopefully it will be a little cooler by that time. allison

Your reception dress is HAUTTTTE!!!!! I wish it was my size. I think you should keep it though b/c you totally rocked it. allison

I am having mine at 6:00pm as well so as to catch the sunset for pictures. We are having orerves(sp?) and cocktails for the guests while we take more wedding party pictures. Then we are all heading back to the RIU Santa Fe for the dinner and reception. I think people will plan their day around whatever you want and it will make for some awesome photo opportunities. The guests have plenty of other days to eat when they want to eat! :-) I think people tend to let loose a little more during evening receptions anyway. allison

Can't wait to see your review and the final product Carly!

We are having the legal wedding here in Baltimore before going to Cabo. We just don't plan on telling people about it. Something to consider for those of you getting married before is to make sure your name on both your ID and your passport match. I would NOT change your name until after Mexico. Allison

Yeah, our hotel is fine with our photographer. she is staying as a guest at the hotel for four nights and is also considered a guest at our wedding. I was concerned about the VISA thing. It seems like it should be ok though since technically she is a guest. allison

Carly, You are a month away from your wedding!?!!! that is so exciting! Are you all ready? I can't wait to see pics.

Cails, I may be completely wrong on this but I believe that they serve more variety than that. I think they just serve one type of beer during the off season. I can't remember where I heard this but I think that I read it somewhere. I know that isn't very helpful and I would be curious myself as to the correct answer. I hope they have more! My guests are somewhat picky drinkers too. :-) allison

I just bought a hand made feather flower from one of the brides on this forum. It is super cute and far cheaper than some that I have seen. Can't wait to get it in the mail.

Thanks! that eases my mind a little. i began to worry when I wrote back one of the photographers in Cabo and he said that he should warn me that my photographer that I am flying in will need the proper papers to work in Mexico. I'm sure she will know what is needed, but I will look into it and double check with her. allison

Quote: Originally Posted by Tlseege I agree with Tammy. I flew my own photographer in for a variety of reasons.

And you typically get a hard copy photo in a weird size (usually 6x7 or something odd). So what in the world do you do with that? I wanted the full resolution disc of photos, so that would have cost me an additional $500 on top of the $500 for the 1 hour of photos. Obviously, i wanted more than 1 hour of photos, so that was MORE money. And then I wanted a trash the dress session the next day. In the end, it was CHEAPER for me to bring in my own photographer as a guest at my wedding and as result I received three days worth of coverage and well over 1,000 images! It was perfect and one of the best decisions I made. Did your photographer that you flew in have to get a temporary working permit for mexico? I am planning to fly my own photog in from Indianapolis and I just don't want to get suprised. allison

Hey, I don't know if anyone has any info and I couldn't find any on the forum...but are there any specific requirements for photographers coming to Cabo from the U.S. ? Do they need any special papers or anything? We are flying in a photographer from Indianapolis to the RIU. The hotel is ok with her coming and she will be staying at the hotel for four nights with us. I imagine its fine, but I'm not sure. Don't want to get caught off guard. Allison

Thanks everyone for your responses. I ended up going with a local photographer who used to babysit me. She got in touch with me right before I was about to book Bradley. She is awesome and I already know she knows how to take care of me! :-) I can wait to see your photos from Gilda, Djelvisp. I'm sure they will be amazing, she does some very colorful shots. Are you going to have some done in San Jose? Well here is Kiera's link for photography if anyone is interested. She is an Indianapolis local. kieraphoto allison

You guys looked like you had so much fun! I like the hot pink stuff, but my fiance would like the pink to be kept to a minimum. allison

I would love a feather flower if the offer still stands. Let me know! I can pay you via paypal. allison

I saw those same Carlos Santana shoes and almost got them. They are so cool, and now I am sort of regretting it. Everything looks so put together. Can't WAIT to see the wedding pics. allison

Thanks Mary Catherine! Did you make a decision on your photographer? I think I will probably go with Bradley. I spoke with him today and I get a very good vibe from him and his rates seem rather reasonable. I'm sure, as you say, I can't go wrong with either of them. Now I just need to talk my fiance into cooperating for the pictures. He has a tendancy to make goofy faces! ;-) allison

Hey Tammy! Do you know what month you are getting married in 2010 yet? I will be there in June 2010. I'm also fairly new to this forum. Isn't it great? I've gotten so many of my questions answered here. allison
