Nan, if you and your FI liked it I'm sure it will be great!! At our resort the Mexican restaurant was very fancy, nothing like Mexican food I have ever had before. Our guests were from Sweden and the US and they loved it, they are all globetrotters and my brother-in-law is a chef and a restaurant manager so they can be picky. Don't worry, I'm sure your guests will love it!!

I have decided to go for my mexican menu and get another more international dish for the people to choose from.  It relieves me to know that your guests loved the mexican fancy food!!

Don't get to stressed out! It's really not worth it. If you and your FI enjoyed the food- it's got to be good! As long as it's not too spicy, I am sure most of your guests will be happy to see something new and unique. And it's truly a choice to showcase your beautiful destination location.

Good luck!

Thank you Murmel I guess I´ll stick to mu original menu . The location is so mexican that it will match the menu!!  I´m trying not to get stressed... if possible.... jaja

Angela!

you looked so pretty and your group pic is fantastic!! I ´m sure gonna have one like that for my group!!!

Maggie! hope your wedding is the best!! and we wil be waiting for your review and pics!!!

Murmel, Bonnie, BrideKSMith and Primavera:

Thank you for answering my post. As I told you, I´m getting nervous but I guess it´s only normal. I´m havinsg guests from all over the world ( not really all over but from different corners) and I would say pretty adventurous. What I tried during my site inspection was very classy Mexican cuisine with just a hint of spices so that´s why I decided to go for it. My FI and myself love it, but then some of my friends told me that may be I should offer a more nternational menu. So I started wondering..... 

Bonnie your menu sounds fantastic and I´m going to check with Julieta my WC if we could have an extra dish that people can choose from. I guess this way everybody will be happy. I know it´s my wedding but I really want everybody to feel wonderful and enjoy as they will be coming from faraway places to join in the fun.

I´ll keep you posted...

What is that?

peanut butter with celery sticks????

Girls I need your help!

I went on my site inspection some months ago and I decided to have a mexican menu... but now I´m beginning to think that not all my guests will like that!! Is anyone having a seated menu that I can get ideas from? I´m gonna keep the mexican finger food and perhaps change the main course to a light fish preparation ????? I´m getting really nervous now!!!!

I had a little freak out moment today, started crying this morning because the wedding didn't turn out as I had hoped. I have been so busy so I think the disappointment finally hit me this morning. I'm sure it will pass and I will be excited again, it is just one of those days...

Cheer up cheer up!!! What happened with your dress Got one already?? Any ideas so far???

looove!!

Feet pain after all the dancing??? 

Nicola!! What a night!! It looks like you all had a blast! The Edinburg castle is amazing and your girlfriends look like quite a group!! Are they all going to your  wedding?  I guess  the only way to get rid of that L sign is..... practice practice and more practice!!!!HAHAHAHHA

Nicola!

Sooo happy you had a great time!! pics pics please! i will sure love to visit Edinburg and sooo many places in Europe too! That choco brunch is going to go on my to do list ! YUMMY YUMMY!

Rosieposie:

I wish I could have seen you in the pole!! It has got to be sooo difficult!  were you able to keep the pink wig when doing it?? haha !That  has to go on my to-do list also!!

 Bonnie:

I´ve seen documentaries about the Calgary Stampede and it looks like a lot of fun!! 

 JUlieta my wedding florist suggested recycling my bouquet and my BMs flowers so that they can be reused as centerpieces and decorations at my cocktail party; thus, reducing my flower budget significantly!  

Something like this:

from ceremony

to cocktail

I have seen several questions as to how the decorations will be transported to the wedding but maybe skipped the pages where this was answered.  Are you bringing them with you or are you sending them to the resort in advance?  If shipping then how much will it cost and if bringing with you, are you packing a separate box/bag and checking it?

 

Thanks everyone!

Brenners:

You are right about the tall vases! I will keep that in mind for mine! The fantastic thing is that my WC suggested recycling my ceremony bouquet and my BM´s  flowers to be used as decoration or even centerpieces for the cocktail and dinner party, thus reducing my flower budget significantly!

Being completely honest I would have prefered something a little more simple for the destination wedding (when I bought the dress we were having a traditional wedding here), but I really do love the dress. Yayyy! 

I´m sure you look awesome in that dress!! PIcs Please!!

Also...I think 5 months is the perfect time for you to get in bikini shape!!!!

Where are you buying your bikinis??? any suggestions??
