Love Peanut butter cookies?

Welcome Genevieve There sure are a lot of us November brides on here!

Yeah, we picked navy blue and apple green. My Fiance was adamant about having blue as a wedding color! I was thinking of doing an eggplant color.. but that was obviously vetoed! I think purple and yellow would be pretty together though! What photographer did you book? I know a lot of girls get second dresses for TTD but if I was just going to go in the ocean for the TTD session I would just wear my dress, a little water can't hurt it!

Jacksonville beach It's where we first started spending time together when we met in college. And it was our first time back there since we moved to Chicago 2.5 years ago Were you surprised about your engagement or did you feel it was coming?

I just read through this whole thing and now I'm also really curious to know what happened I hope he drops in and gives an update!

So I will more then likely put all the items in suitcases...and ask different family and friends to take an extra bag with them in order to avoid extra baggage charges Best of luck with your planning!! -- Nicole I heard the same thing for shipping.. that it's something like 2 months in advance. Whatever decorations I bring I'll probably just put in my suitcase, and pass some things out among family members to bring as well Much easier and that way I know my items will make it!

Dislike Crystal Light?

So far no other Dreams Tulum brides, but maybe in the next 9 months one will pop up. So far, I've got Dreams booked, about to finalize a photographer (which took MONTHS and MONTHS to choose) there are just too many amazing ones to choose between, booked our DJ, found my dress (!) and sent out Save the Dates just this week. Still have a decent amount left to do, have to book our trip and pick out bridesmaid dresses, OOT bags, gifts, and all the little things that just add up and up. How long are you all staying down for your wedding? Is it also going to serve as a honeymoon? Can't wait to get to know you all as our wedding approaches. It seems you get to know your wedding month girls the best, since we seem to be on the same timelines of happiness and stress. Haha, yes we are!! You have far more done than I do! I am hoping to book my photographer this week, just got my first round of proofs for my save the dates and won't be dress shopping until the end of April when I fly home. We're probably staying at Dreams for 5 days and then we're looking into flying to the Bahamas or Jamaica from there for a week for our honeymoon

going strong : working out

Dislike - too much rain! Hot sauce?

I've spent (wasted) hours researching and stressing on a good resort for me, but afforable for my family. Now that I've fallen in love with DRC, I cant get ahold of this Ana. I've emailed like 3 times and no response for over a week, I feel like I'm stuck in limbo because if the date I need isnt available, I'm just wasting more time waiting for a response. Did any of you ever feel like just giving up?! I was hoping for a simple and basic wedding in August. This site has helped a lot but I got a little worried that my date wouldnt be avalable when I saw people that were already booking for 2011. Thanks so listening! Hi Amanda, It may help if you work with a TA and have your TA contact Ana, she seems to respond a little faster that way. And we all know what you're talking about when you mention the long wait times for a response It's annoying, but Dreams is supposed to have beautiful weddings - so it will all be worth it! Just be flexible about the day, like you we knew what month we wanted. Unfortunately we weren't able to get a Friday or Saturday date so we settled on a Monday since it was still close to the weekend for our guests who can't take much time off of work. Hang in there!
