Thankyou for the wedding dress advice. x

Thank you for all the wedding dress advice. Seems like some shopping trips ahead!!!! xxxxx

Hi girls. Less than a year to go for me now! Time to start actually doing some planning. Number one is wedding dress. I can plan around that then. How many shops did everyone go to till they found the one. Im worried that i will pick too soon and miss out or end up paying over the odds. How much should i be looking at on average??? Thanks girls x

Hi everyone, Im just about to start wedding dress shopping!! How many shops did people go to till they found the one.....??? Trying to work out how much research i need to do to find good shops in the area? Thanks

Congratulations. The excitable bit ahead now. I've still got all the stressful planning to do. Im very jealous!! Enjoy the moment. x

Love the band in your hair where did you get it from?

Ive got 18 people coming. I would be happy with either one long table or 3 round tables. So no definately not wierd!

Good luck with everything. Im sure you will have a wonderful time. Please let me know how Caribe Photos go as i am thinking of going with them too. Some examples of their photos after would be great!!! xx

Im going to El Dorado Royale Casitas. Which is a separate section of the Royale. Has room serice included, in room bars and is very private with beds on the balcony with the advantage with being able to use the Royale bars and restaurants. It isnt in Playa Del Carmen though. Hope that helps.

Hi popo28. Im a 2012 bride too. April 11th 2012. Coming up to a year away. Very excited. Its great to see more 2012 brides to plan with! x

Well girls i have had no internet for two weeks and it has taken me forever to catch. Good seeing some new people especially those at Sensatori as i get married there in April.

I am no longer last on the list which is great!!!! Havent had internet for 2 weeks so just caught up on everything. Everyone is so useful on here! Thankyou x

Congratulations Less is more. So pleased it all worked out. I had seen pictures of the villa and it looked truly amazing especially for receptions. x

I didn't get any offers at all. The travel agent gave a very nominal discount but nothing more. Very annoying considering how much business it brings them!

Im definately with your advice! Family and money are not a good mix!

Chapa, Im sure people will realise that its not about them at some point and hopefully it wont be too late. But to be honest it sounds like your better off without them there. Less drama! Im sure it will work out. Ill keep my fingers crossed for you. x

I think you will be fine. Your wedding is later than mine. Between your photos, have a few cocktails and the time will be filled no problem. What kind of entertainment does your hotel do. Imsure they must have some live music or a disco or something. After a few drinks you will also have no problem wearing your dress everywhere. You paid for it, you might as well enjoy it. My plan is wedding a 3pm on beach. Im going to go to a cocktail bar after which is shaded. The guests can get a few drinks and freshen up if they wish whilst photos are taken. Some photos all together. Then 6.30pm meal which was included. I figure that will take a couple of hours. Then a bar with live music and the disco starts at 11pm. I figure after a few drinks the night will be relaxed and fun. I did consider private parties but after paying for an all inclusive i decided to make the most of it and use their facilities and take over the disco. I suppose everything is what you make of it. Not sure how many guests yet. Hoping for 15. x

I've had a similar experience. My Family booked and my FI family keep putting it off or say they can't come. It is my opinion that its just not as important to FI family cause his the son. Ive come to the conclusion if it was just me and my FI on a beach i would be happy. Its just a bonus that some of my own family will be there. Im sure it will work itself out. And im sure you will have a wonderful day anyway. x

Its important to remember its your wedding. It may sound harsh but if people can't make the effort then they will not be missed!!! The people that care will make the effort. You always have one in thefamily that cause arguments. But its not about them. Hope it works out.

I can't believe how many people are having problems with MIL. I thought it was just me that was getting driven insane by her. I have now just backed off from her. Don;t see her or speak and then i cant get wound up and stressed out. What is it with MIL wanting to interfere in sons lives. They don;t seem to care what they son thinks at all!!!! Controlling mothers!!! Grrrrr.

I would agree with the previous advice. Deep breath. Remember what is important. I wouldn't pay for them that is going to cause you more financial uncertainty and more stress. Phone and see if they will extend but then put the situation into the FMIL hands. You cannot be responsible for everyone you have enough going on. They should should sort it out themselves. They are grown adults!! And like you say they are the parents.. Hope you feel better for venting.

Love the pics congratulations x

Id say light beige, thats what im hoping my other half decides on anyway!

Azul Beach looks a lovely hotel. Its a smaller resort and they only have on weding a day. Think you will get a lot more personal attention...... it will make you wedding more intimate and special. Dont panic. For the messing around they have caused you will make them give everything you want!!! Everyone who has got married has said the majority of the planning is done when you get there. So just be demanding!
