So confused My wedding is coming up and I have nothing planned with Ana.

Can some one post a attachment of the menu options for the reception and any pics of cakes that are included in the love package? Please and thank you

No Cathy I will be getting married May 21 at dreams riviera cancun I cant wait. Have you checked out the dreams riviera cancun thread??

We have dropped down to 20 guest. We were going to go with the love package. But now I am thinking about just having a dinner at one of the restaurants and goes to desires lounges afterward. Giving the DJ there my ipod with music. Anyone thinking about doing this? Also does anyone know how much hair and make up and the salon on the resort ranges? Since it came with my package have now find out which is going to be better doing all this separately or just staying with the package.

I have a three year old so I know what you mean by chasing him. lol I think whatever we all do it will be great. On another note my Father keeps writing my Mom emails about how he is so mad that my grandfather will be walking me down the aisle or coming to the wedding. But I feel like my grandfather has been far more of a Father to me then my Dad ever was. Hope you ladies have a wonderful wedding no matter who walks you down the aisle.

I turned it up pretty loud in the warehouse and made John go to the next aisle to make sure it was clear and loud... HOLY CRAP WAS IT LOUD!!! It made me think that I can just use this for the reception..... I don't know if a DJ is necessary.... any thoughts Why are some of you going with a DJ or not using one? LOL I did the same thing in Target the other day. And it is loud. I think we are going to go with this option. I can not see spending the amount of money they want for the DJ. But I do not want to have to worry with it. My only thing that I want to find out is if you can hook a microphone up to the bose system. Because I really would like a microphone for speaches and the the wedding ceremony.

Once I did go above Ana to the Sales Manager I believe, and got 2 emails from her within 24 hours after that but now back to weekly. It is ridiculously frustrating, I have been planning this thing for 5 months!! Only 7+ months to go. On a separate note, have any of the ladies been able to get a room upgrade. We are fine but my grandparents got the garden view room, we splurged just a little got the basic ocean view room. I was hoping to have them upgraded to ocean view or ocean front would be even better – has anyone had much luck with this? Boo I have not heard from her in weeks either. But as for the upgrade I can not remember if you have a TA or not? But I posted on the forum on how to get your room upgraded. There is something called a VIP letter that a TA can write for you to give to the resort. I will look for the post tomorrow and put it on here. If you do not have a TA you would think they would upgrade us for making us brides be some stressed out. lol But I do not see that happening.

Originally we were very excited to get a room with a plunge pool but I have heard so many people on the FB fan page say that they are too cold to use, so I guess we are moving away from that idea... Also, did you get your room upgraded (ya know, cause you were the bride and groom!) or was this the room you booked? I know you were there when it was pretty (if not completely) full, so not sure how much wiggle room there would have been to upgrade you, but just curious. Great question did your wedding party get any upgrades Laura?

You girls are all so sweet. I found my dress on Friday and I absoulty love it. It really feels like you are getting married when you buy the dress. lol. Thanks again for all of your sweet words. I was just having a really bad week with everything travel wise and overwhelmed with all the wedding stuff I still have to do. But it will all work out. And I will love my wedding.

Ladies I have no answer either. I went to go try on wedding dresses today did not find anything. My wedding is very soon MAY!! I have no dress, no answer, no decorations, and people dropping out of the wedding. I am really regretting my choice of a destination wedding. I know in the end it will all work out it is just hard to stay positive when everything feels like it is not working. I wish I was in Mexico swinging at the bar drinking a very strong drink. lol

When is the sale?

BOO Thank you so much I am getting the cd and using it for the ceremony I wonder if you could find him on Itunes?

Thanks Taghen

Gifts International Inc - Tulle Fabrics Bolt Wholesale and Retail Do you know what the measurements are for the chuppa?

What fabric did you use to drape over your huppa? I am not that creative I have a idea in my head. But cant find the fabric I need from the site. http://www.alohaislandweddings.com/r...%20wedding.jpg Kind of like this?

Thanks Laura. I said I was going to just go basic. But then you start looking at everything and it makes you one to upgrade. Story of my life. But the white is beautiful. I sent Ana a email to see if they had any colored fabric to drap over it just to rent. I hate to have to take it all the way with me to Mexico.

http://www.alohaislandweddings.com/r...%20wedding.jpg Here is a closer up pic.

Does anyone know how much extra it would cost do something like this on the huppa? http://blog.miamorwedding.com/wp-con...en-fabric1.jpg I wonder if this will be a outrageous price to put over the huppa instead of doing flowers? I guess I could bring my own decor but then I have to worry about paying for extra luggage flying there. Geez I thought it was supposed to be cheaper to get married in Mexico. lol

Angela you are so sweet. It will all work out. I put the last payment in last night to the travel agent. And it killed me. I cant believe I am still paying for the 12 th room and no one wants it. WTF?? The one good thing about it all at least in contract I do have every 6 th room free so in the end I guess I can think that was my free room.

THANK YOU THANK YOU!! That is what I needed!

Thanks ladies I really did not think we needed to pay for their day pass. It sucks now I have a 12 room I have under contract and no one else wants to go. They could have been staying in that room and it would have all worked out. Oh and I have offered to pay for my two other bridesmaids resort cost if they get their flight. They agreed and now they cant not offered a plane ticket. So I only have my maid of honor. I am so freaking stressed out. Now I have room that I have to pay for that no one is staying in. What kind of friends do that someone. Oh yeah they both told me threw text that they could not come.

I am in the same situation except the people we know just booked at another resort. Now we are in a position were we feel like we have to pay for the pass for them to attend the wedding. What would you girls do pay for there pass or not?
