Thanks everyone. I am so excited. Next step, an affordable photographer that will get pics to me before we leave Mexico. Has anyone used a TA from this forum to do all of their booking? I really want to but am a little apprehensive since they are nowhere near where I live. Any pointers?

You can do a search for the Dreams Tulum thread. Anything you need to know about that particular resort is available to you there. There are areas in the forum specifically for gifts, decorations, etc. I've found the easiest way to browse through those is to "Forum Jump" near the bottom of the page. Happy planning and welcome to the best reference site!

I liked the little I've been in! Canoeing?

cats : mittens

Like on some people (like Kate Husdon in Bride Wars), but mine are finally done growning out ) Victoria's Secret swimsuits?

I have been in contact with TA Jill and she has already been very helpful. I would LOVE to book through her, but my father (who is paying for my wedding) is skeptical about it being over the phone/internet with no face to face interaction. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can assure him she is a real travel agent who is not out to scam us and our family members? Is there some kind of website that Sand & Sun is certified through that I could show him? I completely understand his concern, but I feel like using a BDW agent is in our best interest. Thanks!

Love Ellen! Sad I can't watch her because of work schedule. I need tivo. New Year's Eve?? (My parents just go to bed now, they don't even last until 12. It's so sad.)

Turns out she misunderstood and thought we meant 2010. They are not taking reservations yet for 2011. I've talked to my TA and she said she has called both resorts to put in a note for our date so the moment they take reservations she'll know. Haven't truly met with a TA yet because we can't officially book until I think they said 10 months ahead of time when airfares come out? I want to use a TA from this forum, they do price matching. But my family is skeptical because we can't meet with her face to face. So I'm glad the WC will reserve my date, makes me feel better about not booking for a few months.

LOVE, especially on my bed in the winter. Headbands?

YAAAY! Good news, I emailed the resort we want and they can already let us reserve our date! Just need to pay the $100 deposit. I am so excited )

We also have a few oldies like, time after, and every breath you take... Still working on it. 9 days left! I realized I forgot one of my favorite artists... Gavin Degraw! Has has "More Than Anyone" and "We Belong Together". Both are fabulous. Time After Time is awesome, I laugh because it reminds me of Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion. AND it's official! Jacy e-mailed me and is saving my date, we just need to pay the $100 deposit. I am SOOOO excited, I get to marry FI on our 8th anniversary!

today : wednesday

I drink pretty much any water, so like. Cherry Limeade Sunkist?

There are a gazillion songs, but my must haves are... First Dance: "If There Was No You" Brandi Carlile Wedding Party: "Kung Fu Fighting" (dad wanted to dance with my sister to this for her wedding, she was absolutely against it) Daddy Dance: "You Are So Beautiful" Joe Cocker or "All For The Love of a Girl" Johnny Horton Last Dance: "Faithfully" by Journey or "You & Me" by Lifehouse

Quote: Originally Posted by Mylene Hi girls, I putting together a cd for the wedding and I will make copies for the guests... Any ideas of great love songs I could use? I have quite a few but...sometimes we forget a really good one! It depends on what type of music you like, but some of my favorites are: You Are So Beautiful (Joe Cocker) Faithfully (Journey) Please Forgive Me (Bryan Adams) You & Me (Lifehouse) The Story (Brandi Carlile) You Picked Me (A Fine Frenzy) Say Hey (Michael Franti) *this one is fun* I'm Yours (Jason Mraz) And we are planning to have our first dance to: If There Was No You (Brandi Carlile) Hope this helps at least a little.

I would LOVE to get a few pictures in the water but don't want to ruin my dress. Not silly, LOTS of brides do a "TTD" or Trash the Dress session for a destination wedding. You can search the forum for trash the dress information. Maybe do a search for the type of fabric that yours is. I figure I'll do one, then rinse my dress in the tub/shower to get the salt out and let it hang in the room to dry. A little scared because I want to wear it for the at home reception, but I'm sure dry cleaning can fix most of any spots on the dress I may encounter.

Congrats and welcome! That was one of my top choices for a resort (and I'm not quite locked in on just one yet). You should check out the forum specifically for that resort, TONS of information and great people to help you out.

Does anyone have any suggestions ~ Erica Have you looked into Sascha Gluck? (I think I spelled his name correctly). He has done weddings in that area and his pictures are very good and reasonably priced. His site is Destination Wedding Photographer for Cancun and Riviera Maya and the rest of the World

I hope this link works... Snippet & Ink had a daily wedding inspiration for one that was held at Dreams PA. snippet & ink: daily wedding inspiration: Real Wedding: Roslyn & Andy
