Hi Ladies!

Sorry I haven't been on in a while, I hope everyone's holidays are going great! I have my church ceremony here next Saturday so I've been busy with that. I'm halfway done with my review so hopefully I'll have it up soon.

I wanted to share some good news, I got my pro pictures last week and they are now posted on his blog. I must say that Victor Herrera is amazing and I am soo happy to have hired him. He is super sweet and extremely artistic. If you are looking for a wedding photograher I encourage you to check him out.

so here's the link to his blog (we are the post for Dec 30th):

and he has more pics on facebook.

If you want to request me on fb I have a ton of pics on there from the wedding and vacation.

Hope you like them! Once I get the video trailer I'll post the link for that too. We used Steve Cantrall for video and they were also amazing to work with!

Hi Sabrina,

My heart dropped when I saw your engagement ring, I have the same one in Rose gold/platinum! We got it at Micheal C Fina which is where I guess you saw it. I absolutely love it!

Everything you did looks great, soo many details!

Best of luck and congrats!!!

Hi Mike

We were 2 of the 100 ppl gathered on the beach watching!! The ceremony was beautiful! Congrats!!

We weren't really fussy about many of the details, so our planning process just went with the flow.  I think that helped keep the stress down.  In the end though, everything our expectations, and then some.  Zulma was our wedding coordinator, and our reception was at El Mediterraneo.  The staff at El Mediterraneo are incredible, and I would highly recommend this for anyones semi private reception.  Its also the coolest temperature wise, which was refreshing after a day in dress pants.  We used Sascha Gluck as our photographer, and for those who are considering him - please BOOK HIM.  He is polite, easy going, and though we haven't seen the final product yet, the shots he gave us a sneak peak at were incredible.  As I get more photos, I will try to post them along with a review.

 

In the meantime, if you ladies have any questions, I will do my best to answer them!

 

MIKE.

Hi Ladies

I'm back as a Mrs!!!!!

We had the most amazing time!! I'm going to put up my review by Tuesday but I'll try and post some pics before then

xoxo

I have Michele and she has been pretty responsive. Usuallly a day or two. She emails my work so if I see here respond to an email and I have another question I email her back right away hoping that hse's still going thru her mail. LOL

I forgot to ask you girls, when you made the final payment did they make you fill out a form and ask for id? They asked my FI and he refused.They said the bank of Mexico required it idk, that seemed a little shady but when he said he will give his id when we check in then they were fine with it.

Hi Jenny!  The sunset time online was pretty accurate.  My ceremony started at 5 and the sun was supposed to set at 6:15, which it pretty much did...The light started going away a little probably around 5:30, it was pretty dark by 6:30.

Recent brides - What time did the sun really start to set when you were in PDC?

Lisa when do you leave?

I have sooo much to do! My roots are terrible LOL going to get groomed on Saturday!!  Oh and to top things off I have a Sinus Infection!!!

I'll def be looking for you! We'll be the loud spanish ppl always at the bar, my FI is Puerto Rican and I'm half Colombian and half Dominican so we have no volumne control when we drink!

Thank you sooo much! I haven't even started packing LOL

I can't believe I leave in 5 days!!!

What is everyone doing for video? Are you getting someone from outside, using the resort vendor or just having your guests video the ceremony and reception?

Now I wand to have it done professionally but I can't find anyone that I like and is still available!

Jess! Everything looks great!! Best wishes and can't wait to see the pictures when you get back!!

I also have Michele. SSame thing happened, I waited a few days then sent a follow-up email which she responded to right away. She seems very on top of things!

Thanks Natalie!!  I think I'll go with the salon at the resort. I have 3 good pictures of the style i'm looking for so hopefully they can come close! The stylist was going to uses is charging me $170 then I have a $100 vendor fee so it would be $270 oppose to $70 so if you recommend them I keep the extra $200 LOL

For makeup my FI aunt will be doing it so I'm set with that.

Jenny - I would definitely recommend the spa, the girls there did a great job and they make sure everything is the way you want it.  But for makeup they don't have a huge selection...so I would bring foundation and mascara yourself (I got dior blackout waterproof which was awesome!).

My MOH and another of my friends both passed out by 10 because they were drinking jello shots that MOH made lol. Another friend had to take them back to the suite from the bar lol and when we returned, one had made it to a bed, the other made it to the floor in front of the bed haha. WOW

 

I leave 2 weeks from today omg

LOL!!

Gotta love the jello shots!

Congrats Natalie and welcome back. Its great to hear that everything was perfect!

Do you recommend the salon to do the hair? I'm still up in the air abou this.

And best wishes to all the brides within the next week, we have like 6 in the next 7 days!!

Good Luck Jess, everything will be perfect!!

Welcome Mike!! I wish my FI was so involved, he's not into all the details but I wish he was!!

Jes - I could have sworn you left for PDC yesterday so as soon as I got to work I checked the planning thread hoping to see yours LOL

Diahr - we are still trying to figure out the video part, We def want one but the ones recommended by our photogragher are all booked

Hi Ladies!!!!

Sorry I've been m.i.a. for a while. Work has been really busy for me and has been taking up way too much of my time!!! On my lunch breaks I've been sneaking on to read the updates and sooo much has happened! My boss is out today so I'm taking advantage

Congrats to the October brides, you all looked absolutely beautiful!!!! And I believe we have 1 more wedding tomorrow, best of luck!

Jess - your pictures are stunning!!!!! You look like a model! Oh and your ceremony script is perfect; I'm def stealing parts of it!

Lisa - hope you feel better soon, I love how you make everything into a joke that should def help with the stress. I arrive the 21st and leave the 4th so I think I'll be there for a few weddings )

So these wedding coordinators are really too much!! I have been fighting with Elsa because my invoice was wrong and she kept fixing 1 thing then messing something else up. Then she had me go back to my old emails with Julie just to have her forward me the email! Why have me look if you have access to them!!!!!! Sorry but she is really pissing me off. We finally paid everything and now she is harassing me for the menu choices and cake. I'm on my own personal protest and am going to take a few days to respond just like she took a week to answer my questions.

Then last weekend has had a breakdown, I went to my future in-laws to do the programs to find out that I spelled the best man's name wrong. I was soo frustrated bc I asked my FI to check them and obv he didn't bc that's his best friend's name! I started to cry and couldn't stop for like an hour, its pretty funny now thinking about it. When we got home that night my FI promised to help me with anything that is left to do.....lets see!!

This weekend is my bachelorette party; we are doing a pole dancing class and then going out in costume. I'm going to be Snow White and my bridesmaids are the 7 dwarfs (well I have 6 so we are going to say that Sleepy is home sleeping).

Have a great weekend ladies! I'll def be on more often

Do you have Elsa too?? I haven't heard anything either LOL

Lisa you have Elso too right?? I haven't heard anything yet!!

From the reviews that we read and Jess's recommendation we chose this place. My FMIL is planning everything, I'll have to ask her and get back to you.

I'll take the veil, I also live in queens!
