Thanks Ladies! I'm pretty excited about the "Margarita" theme! They are going to have stones in the bottom (blue, white & clear) with a white orcid ontop of the stones (under water) and floating candles on top. I fell in love with them... now I just need to make everyone in my bridal party take one vase in their carry on. lol I love your pink themes! I love pinks and purples... but there was no way my fiances or groomsmen would wear pink. They may have killed me if I made them do that! lol My Bridesmaids are wearing bright blue chiffon dresses (full length)... they are beautiful dresses (Wish I had one for myself lol)! My flowers are all going to be white (White roses & white calla lillies). My Fiance will be wearing beige linen pants with a white beachy dress shirt. Groomsmen are wearing the same but their shirt if bright blue (matches the bridesmaids perfectly). Now that you told me your colours and what your bridal party is wearing.... what are YOU wearing Katie? And good luck with your shopping this weekend! Hope you find everything you need! Whit

I was definitely happy to hear Ana is amazing in person. I am much more patient with her now. lol What I surprise... bet you never thought you needed to worry about a valcano cancelling flights! My fingers and toes are crossed for you! Hopefully it clears up before your flight! I heard today, that some flights are starting to leave certain areas in Europe? Other than this dilema... are you all ready for the wedding? Where are you getting married (beach, lobby terrace,etc)? Where are you having your reception? I'm getting there with my planning... I have my dress/accessories, bridesmaids dresses, groom and groomsmens attire, centre pieces (that I am bring to Mexico with me) and a few other things. So I'm done most of the big stuff! Still need to sort out some options/pricing with Ana. We are also bringing "welcome bags" for all of our guests with different things inside (including a letter from my Fiance and I, and all the info they need for the week), so I still need to get all of that together. Other than that its just bridal party gifts and a bunch of small things that need to be done still. Whitney

It is a beautiful resort and what everyone has said about Ana is so true...she is amazingly wonderful and everything went so smoothly. We did our ceremony on the lobby terrace at 3pm (earlier than we had hoped, but there was another later wedding) and the reception on the lobby terrace at 6pm. Both were fantastic. The timing between the ceremony and reception actually worked out fine as it allowed us to take lots of pictures (after the champagne toast with the group) and people could just hang out in one of the many places in the beautiful lobby. I can't remember if there was any lobby entertainment going on Friday night, definitely not karaoke. There was a Mexican bazaar/shopping stands on the lower level terrace, and our guests had fun wandering through that a bit but it did not detract from our party at all. I am happy to share pictures, more stories/advice/questions if anyone has them! my email is [email protected] Have fun and don't worry about a thing, it will be awesome! ~Elizabeth "Danks" Johnson April 9, 2010 Congrats Elizabeth! It's great to hear how smazing Ana is! I would love to see some of your pictures... so I'll send you an email! Thanks Katie! I have gone back and forth with Ana a lot already... it just takes her so long to reply and her responses are usually short. If I have any specific questions I will definity ask! Your getting married pretty soon... how is your planning going? Whitney

I love all of your pictures! Cant wait till I get married (in 118 Days...lol), and can post some of my own!
