One piece of advice would be to just relax and not fixate on overdoing the details or fretting on what could go wrong. You have all chosen an amazing place to get married! Also we hired an outside photographer, Ivan Luckie, who was great and used the resort photog Rueben since it came with the package for a group photo session on the beach and we were more than impressed with the outcome. Can't wait to share my review coming up! YAY! Congrats! looking forward to review and pics

Can't wait!!!!!! CONGRATS! have a WONDERFUL time! Post review & PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a few... 1) I dont LOVE my wedd dress. I got it because my family liked it, and it was sord of cheap. But whenever I watch "say yes to the dress" and the brides get all teary because ITS THE ONE, I get bummed out because mine isn't. 2) the FSIL did NOT show up to my bridal shower and I bet its because she's jealous 3) the FSIL is NOT going to the wedding either. And that hurts me because it hurts my FI 4) some of my bestfriends wont go to the wedding because they were not responsible enough to save $75 a month for a couple of months. losers!

me getting nervous I wish I had found this website before we chose Tulum.. seems to be THE wedding factory out of all the Dreams resorts... I will pray and hope for the best. Thanks for posting! Congratulations!!! *please post a pic of your centerpieces... the FI loves the idea!

wow, great job! May have to *borrow this from you too!

grrrr, i dont have enough points to open these!!! And I want them really bad... guess I better start working for it Great Job btw!

Wow! Awesome job!!! Maybe you should take orders and sell on Etsy!

I love Love LOVE the t-shirts!!!!!!!! HAHAHAH!!!!! Have to show the FI. wonder if we can fit that into our budget! LOL!!! Great job! Congrats and best wishes!!!!!!

uhmmm, I dont think the train is too long, and a bustle might just make it look frumpy. ask them to pin it so you can get an idea on what it looks like

Its so upsetting. His own sister didnt book. My bff didnt book. and we are left to pay penalties on 4 empty rooms. my future MIL was so kind and is giving us $1500 because she didnt want us to start our marriage in debt because of our wedding *tears!* but that bums be out too because I would rather save that gift $ and put it towards fixing the house when we buy one. uugggghhhhhhh. REMINDER: All that matters is that he and I are there! And our close families!!!

If you book the conference hall I think you can extend it. Anyother location you will have to stop at 10:30pm and maybe move it over to the disco/club.

So, our guests have had months notice about our trip and where/when to book. WE STILL HAVE 4 ROOMS UNOCCUPIED!!!!!!! We reserved the minimum of ten rooms with our TA. four are still open. what the heck. FI's very own SISTER has NOT booked!!!!!!! one of my BFF's has NOT booked!!!!! other people who said, "YEA IM DOWN!!" not down at all... but I figured that much. So now, we have to pay penalties on empty rooms. I emailed my TA to see if we can break our room up into to 3night stays. Maybe upgrade the second set of nights. She says, "They wont let me do that"... Who wont wth! so the wonderful gift of $2000 my FIL are gifting us for the wedding may have to go towards empty rooms. im so bummed.

wooow, haha! well my future FIL promised us $5 for every pound we lost a few years back... it was NOT a motivator... we did our weight lost in our own time. Happy & Healthy

my TA is with DW.com and in hindsight, I would not have worked with them. Honestly because in the beginning it was poor cust srvc. But after complaining to the manager, she made a 360 and was much better. However, we had to put a deposit on 10 rooms. The balance is due 5/28. I have 4 rooms left unfilled. It is a bit stressful. With destination weddings, we all know guests drop like flies so its difficult to get people to commit and pay up. EVEN with giving them 6 months notice. I would just have ppl book through expedia/orbitz/cheapcaribbean, etc. they get whatever deal they can find. but GL to those who booked them.

Wow! love!!!!!

aww, love!

thx guys... it sure was HOT in Houston when we did it! one sweaty and mosquito morning, lol. but that didnt spoil the fun

awww! *tears* precious!

love the romance in the shots!

So we had our E-Pic shoot yesterday and it was SO MUCH FUN!!! We took about 300 pics and she sent me a few last night!!!! here are a few: ***there was a slight panty shot here because I got distracted and FORGOT my bike shorts!!! SOWWY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We did soo many scenes. We had a mock picnic scene with treats. A parasol scene near a tree with purple flowers. A scene in the front yard on the benches and tea tables. A scene near the fountain. A scene with our dog/son Bebo. A scene in a hammock. A scene under the lattice canopy. and a few more.

my FI went in this morning for us and our bridal party since I had to work... he rocks!

OoooOOOooooh! i love the turtle and dragon fly ones!!!
