Megan, I typed your name but got a postdoc student at Curtin University... Here is my facebook Welcome to Facebook | Facebook I got my dress at Ocones it is close to down town fort worth area. I liked the place a lot. Now not so much. I had to pay 550.00 to get my dress altered I wait to long to get my dress. So I did not have time to order it. I had to get it tailored a ton. I pick it up tomorrow. But they have had the worst customer service after they got my money I did not matter. Just make sure you go early to get your dress. I thought I would just go in and pick out something. But most dresses you have to specially order them. Even Davids Bridal and Alfred Angelo. I am doing the ceremony script right now. Not fun there is a thread on here that helped a lot. Have you found that? Go Mavs hopefully we can turn around last nights game tomorrow.

Have you guys done your wedding registries? How much planning have you all done? This website will be helpful to you. I have found out so much from here. I did a wedding regestry at target and bed bath and beyond. I really do not have a lot of guest coming to the wedding so I kept putting it off. But my maid of honor is throwing me a bridal shower so she made me go register. I have done a lot of planning for the wedding it almost here have about a month to go. A lot of things I am just sticking with the package and pretty much have to wait until I get to Mexico to finalize everything. But I have been getting the music for the ipod ready. We opted out for the dj. Just a lot of stuff to plan. And do. lol Good luck with your wedding planning!!

I was going to do it for 3 but decided to just have her there the whole time everyone else was going to be there. She has done all of my engagement pics, boudiour pics coming up this weekend, and all photos needed at the resort. I decided I would get more picture with her coming then from the resort. She will be with us the whole time so it worked out for us better.

Cathy I still have gotten no response from Ana and my TA has had no luck either. We are going to call and see if that helps any. I tried to find you but I could not find you on facebook Megan Argo is mine.

Where did you get your sand ceremony picture frame? I love it. I have been searching on line and can not find anything to buy? Was it a DIY project?

Great pics. Cant wait to read your review.

Aubury where in dfw are you? I am close to the Keller area. Do you have a facebook? Mine is Megan Argo.

Well the planning is at a stand still at the moment. I have not heard from Ana for over a month. My wedding is May 21. lol. My TA has sent her another email this week to try to set up a conference call so we can get some things figured out before we get there. I have not seen the ceremony script. I was hoping to get that answer but still have not had any response. If I find something out I will let you ladies know. I am thinking about bringing our own with us. I just found it on one of the threads on here.

And the next sentence out of his mouth was "oh Ron are you coming to my bachelor party in London?" WHAT?! Seriously - some people are crazy. So after that conversation we decided it was absolutely thier loss. Stay focused on your friends and family that are excited - it'll keep you excited! And us! We're all excited for you and can't wait to see pictures and hear how wonderful it was...you're soooo close! Thanks for your kind words. I have had the same thing happen to me. Everyone I feel like I was selfish in picking my wedding to be in Mexico. We have 24 guest and those people are the most important to me. So their loss for the people that are not coming. As for your friend what a crazy person what is wrong with people. lol

Plus I genuinely love the dress. :-) I have a pronvias dress. I got it from a local wedding store. It was way to big on me but I bought it off the rack and love it. I had to have 3 fittings. I get it in finished in two weeks I will post some pics. It is the pronvias raina. I love PRonvias!!

You will be fine I just have the worst friends ever. lol Also I had payed for one of the rooms for my bridesmaids and they backed out.

Does anyone know of a bose stereo system that you can hook up a mico too?? I have searched and searched and can not seem to find what I am looking for. Anyone that knows it would be so helpful!!

Okay show me those templates!! I am looking for something for the guest that will have the times of the events we will have going on. Reherseal dinner, ect. Anything else my wedding is coming up and I have nothing for the guest for at the resort. Help!!! lol

Okay I am trying to print off some pictures for ideas for our photography that we are taking with us. I am really liking some of the photos ideas from the on site photographer. But I am unable to print any pictures off their site. Does any of you know who photographers other the the adventure that have taken pics at the resort that you can print the pictures off their site?

I figure that will drown out the wishy-washy people who SAY they're coming. No one is going to put down a NON-refundable deposit on a trip they don't honestly think they are taking... here's to hoping anyway. Yes - I hope that it gets them booked too. I dont want to sound like a downer but we had 3 couples pay for half of their trip and decided not to go. Sorry had to vent that. lol

Well she sent a email to my TA this morning saying after she gets done with a meeting with a bride she would answer my questions. This was the email [email protected]

They also won't automatically send the flowers and champagne to your room unless you talk to the concierge first. The honeymoon package was great! We had so much fun with it Don't worry about it Megan! What you have done is all that you need to do before you go. I would make a list for yourself of everything that you want to talk to Ana about when you meet with her though...menus, flowers, extra decorations, music (if you are using sound system), etc. This way, when you meet with her, you will be very organized and get all of your questions answered. I didn't write this stuff down and there were things that I forgot when I met with her. Oh, and if you have any of your own decorations, favors, etc. you should bring them with you to give to Ana when you meet with her and write down for her exactly what you want done with them. Also, she will take you around and show you the options for ceremony sites and reception/cocktail hour sites if you haven't totally decided on a location for something. I finalized all of my details with her once I got there, not before. Hope this helps! Thanks Laura you are so sweet. You always make me feel better. I will be there two days before the wedding. So I hope I will have enough time to get everything worked out. But thanks for the great ideas. I need to get organized so I do not forget things. Also if anyone has had a response back from Ana. Please post her email.

From everything I hear - everything you said is pretty much dead on and although it does sound stressful, since the wedding are pretty much "pre-packaged" - it really does only take a sit-down for an hour or two to confirm your stuff and they make it happen. I guess for us its one day but for them its their everyday. Hopefully she gets back to you soon though. Try not to worry. I have my date confirmed, NO time and am still waiting for a wedding contract that I queried easily over a month ago now :-s Thanks:

Okay my wedding is May 21 2010 and all I have done is confirmed my date and time. I told her also where I would like my wedding and reception to take place. Is this all I need to do before I get there? I would like to have everything else confirmed and went over before I get to Mexico. But I have sent her multiple emails and no answer. I know she is busy. But is this all I need to have done and then pick everything else out two days before the wedding? Sounds stressful. Is this the right email for her [email protected]?

Who is honeymooning at the resort? If not where are going to have your honeymoon at?

Me too. When is your wedding?

Wondering if any of you new brides are getting Married on May 21 2010? Last time I talked to Ana which was months ago she said I was the only one on that day. But a lot of time has passed and I assuming there is probably another wedding that day.
