Thanks! Not too much....My carry on had wedding/recepion outfits and I checked in two pieces - One had decorations, the other had my clothes, shoes, makeup, toiletries, etc. I stayed at Azul from Wed to a Monday and then we went to another resort from Monday to Saturday. BTW- If you want to go to a truly amazing honeymoon resort that supercede Azul...try Banyan Tree Mayakoba. It is unbelievable.

Just to give you a sneak peek at what you will see...

Ladies, If you have not selected your destination wedding photographer...select Sierra Blanco Photography. She photographed our Indian/ Nigerian wedding weekend. We had a Nigerian event Saturday night, an Indian wedding Sunday morning (noon), a reception Sunday night, and a TTD shoot on Monday afternoon. They were phenomenol--They are very creative, have a good eye, are easy to work with and extremely friendly. Two weeks after our wedding (June 12), they posted some (a lot) of our wedding photographs on their blog site. Everyone that has seen the photos says they are amazing... If you don't believe me, see for yourself. http://www.sierrablancophoto.com

We had our wedding on June 12 and used DJ Doremixx...He is fantastic. One thing that I learned about the wedding coordination at Azul is that Lomas travel changes their "rules" and requirements to increase their revenue. Also, the WC in the Miami office are not the best at giving correct answers, as they are just the messengers. When you ask a question, they go back to Lomas or the onsite WC to get an answer...and they change based on who you talk to. So, push for what you want.

Agreed..send it to her...but real sloooooooowlllllllllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! :-)

I am so sorry to hear that...not a comfortable feeling at all!

Have fun! Safe travels!!!

I would get organza...they are sheer with some structure.

I love the guest book!

Cute hanger!

The dress is awesome...

Beautiful dress!

I live in South Florida, so I can tell you that the bugs will be coming out, especially after the rain. :-(. The good part is that the ocean breeze should help reduce the mosquitos. The bugs that are complete pests are "no seeums"...yes that is their name. They are tiny bugs that you literally can not see...kind of like sandflies. If I were you, I would put insect repellent in the bags. Avon makes a good one tht is not toxic. It is called Skin So Soft Bug Guard

For anyone doing a sky wedding...how are you decorating the gazebo?

We are going with Doremixx, but we haven't had our wedding yet. My FI and I had a conference call with each of them to get a better feel for their services. There have been positive reviews on both...we went with Doremixx because we felt that he would 1) do a better job at mixing American, Indian, and Nigerian music for the reception 2)his website and responses felt more business/ professional like and 3) just got a better overall vibe. I think you can't go wrong with either...but, have a conference call with them and see where your gut takes you.

Maggie, What did you select for your reception meal?

One more question- Do any of you have weddgin programs that are multiple pages? If so, what program did you use to create the layout? Word, Publisher or soemthign else? Also, did you print sdn bind them yourself, go to Kinkos or utilize another service?

For those of you that did or are planning a sky deck wedding...are you utilizing anything to decorate the "aisle"? Flowers, pomanders, etc?

Our schedule is a little different because we are having two days of wedding related stuff, since we are incorporating both the Indian (My background) and Nigerian (FI Background) into the the festivities. Thursday - Most of the family/ relatives arriving Friday - Rest of the guest arriving - Optional tour to Chichen Itza for thsoe who are already in Mexico Saturday - Indian/ Nigerian pre-wedding ceremony from 6-10 Sunday - Wedding at 11am and recpetion at 6pm I am thinking about using our 40 person reservation for optional brunch on Monday or a Family/relatives dinner on Thursday. Any thoughts? Quote: Originally Posted by melfaybik Hello Everyone!

I am terrible at making decisions and I need to have a decision made by tomorrow. We also have the 25 person dinner reservation that is included in our wedding package. We are thinking about using this too but not sure when...I am starting to worry that we might end up having too much planned if we do the welcome party, 25 person dinner reservation and the wedding reception. What do you guys think? I really appreciate your help!!

Funny you say that...I decided to nix the OOT bags for our guests, primarily for that reason. I didn't want to carrry a lot of stuff down that wasn't necessary.

I like your husbands shoes! Nice touch...

Beautiful pictures!

Awesome Pictures!

Early congratulations! Have a great time!!!

Try rolling your clothes up. You can fit more that way. Can you ask your parents, or friends to take some stuff down with them? That is what I am planning to do.
