Wow, I haven't been on here in a long time!! I just wanted to let all the future brides that are getting legally married there that I had no problems changing my name! It took the civil license 4 months to get to me (due to christmas in between) then I got it translated which only costed me $40. I took both the original spanish license and the english one to the bank and icbc (to change my drivers license) the bank was the only place that questioned whether i was getting a "canadian one" i just explained it and then it was fine. Same with my car insurance papers just took the papers in. I mailed both copies to medical insurance to change my carecard, took awhile for it to come back but I have it all done now which is good! Again, if anyone has any questions feel free to email or pm me I try to be on more but with the baby on the way my mind is elsewhere ha ha Also, photos... WRITE DOWN the poses you want or any u think of and give it to your photographer, the day of is just too exciting to remember and think of poses, I wish I had gotten more poses with my girls but our minds were everywhere that day ha ha either way everything turned out great even though my brain thinks its not good enough!

FOR THE BRIDES GETTING LEGALLY MARRIED WITHIN 3 MONTHS OF CHRISTMAS: If your getting married between October and December LEGALLY, be prepared that you might NOT have your license within 3 months. The government shuts down for 20 days in December for Christmas so it slows down all the legal processes. It's been just over 4 months and I still don't have my license. I told my wedding planner and thank god she went to work and got mad at the WC down there because they weren't looking into where it was. She finally called Paloma who finally after 2 weeks checked into it and found out that the government there shuts down for 20 days which slowed the legal process. My license was just sent sometime last week so I should be seeing it this week hopefully. Been so frustrating because the WC do NOT inform you of this they just let you sit and wonder, so thankful for my planner!! So, I just wanted to let all you brides who are getting legally married within that time that it may get delayed if your "3 months" crosses with Christmas as mine did.

Katie, Thanks for your post, it was sad and happy at the same time. My uncle was battling stage 4 metastatic renal cancer which got to the brain while I was planning my wedding. He was diagnosed with it in Jan 2011... He fought so hard, I was married Nov 2, 2011 and he died Nov 29, 2011. It was so fast. I'm glad your fiance seems to be beating it, and I pray he does!! Good luck with everything I lost my Uncle so fast and will never take another life for granted.

I didn't do a seating chart since my group was fairly small and they all seemed to get along by the time our wedding came. Myself, my hubby and wedding party sat at the same table though, we had 2 long tables set for 10 and a round table set for 6 or 8, you can look at my pics (link in my signature) near the end are the dinner photos you can sorta of see it lol I'm sure if you had a seating chart or table names the WC will have no problem setting it up for you, just give it to her in your meeting and explain where you want it or if it matters.

Maybe but she also had her husband as a second shooter to take any angles she couldn't get, did you take a look at mine? At least what she told me she said she had no problems getting all her shots. I had Martin, maybe he was different but he was everywhere, so when he was on one side of us Vina was on the other lol we felt like super stars

Thanks Emily! I haven't received anything from you yet though!! Jemma, your photos look great! We had Martin too for our 10 photos, he is really good. I was wondering how you got pink calla's ha ha then i saw you paid for them, only white callas are included in the package unfortunatly. Glad your day was awesome!

My brother and 2 of our friends went to the Coco Bongo... said they had the best time of their life, it was the best club they've ever been to, it holds like a 1000 people and its incredible. When you get to mexico watch channel 9, it shows highlights of the coco bongo and my bro says its like walking into the commerical. They paid $60 each which got them a ride to the coco bongo at 10pm and a ride back real real late i think and all drinks included. Something to consider, but I regret not joining them, I will go back and I will go there! ha ha

AD2012- I got a video done by Arrecife and it turned out amazing!!! I only got a 15 minute edited DVD of just the ceremony, I had to get my TA/Wedding planner to help with the emails and talking to them, they wanted to charge me $780 USD cause they werent understanding what I wanted. SO anyway lol I got them down to $400 USD. Just had video of my wedidng party walking down and then me then the entire ceremony all the way through as is then they shot the walking away and bits of the toast and stuff, they used my songs I had for the ceremony as they were played and edited it to beautifully that I teared up while watching it and I didn't cry during my wedding ha ha They let you view it before they give it to you in case theres something you don't like. I loved it though
