AD2012

Crystalz - your photos are amazing, thank you for sharing! Jemma - great review & photos! The beach location looks amazing, we're scheduled to have our ceremony at the Gazebo but with everyone's photo's I'm kind of second guessing my decision!!

Congrats! I can’t believe how quickly time is passing!

Just came across this thread. May 10, 2012 @ Grande Bahia Principe Akumal in Mexico. 95 days!!

I think we're planning on doing one, my MOH is planning it so I'm not a 100% sure of the details but I think we're doing the playa crawl. I've read some good reviews about them on here. They offer an escort for the duration of the evening and a escort back to the resort for a little extra, which would make me feel safer, As sad/scary as the incident in Mazatlan is, personally I think it could happen anywhere. I think the area where we are staying is supposed to be a lot safer too. If anything, we live in Edmonton so we can handle anything LOL. Go with you gut, if you're uneasy about it, plan something at the resort.

For any Edmonton and area brides who haven't found their dress yet. Bridal Debut is having a Maggie Sottero trunk show. Edmonton Location is Feb 17 10:00am to 8:00pm. and the Sherwood park location February 18th from 10am – 4:30pm and February 19th from 10am - 4:30pm. Any Maggie Sottero or Sottero & Midgley gowns ordered during this event will receive 10% off!

I got an email from Vista Print today saying up to a 100% off on some items. Some of the free items are: 100 standard post cards - Free 50 oversized postcards - Free 25 Brochures - Free tons of other free itams and lots at 50% off!

Absolutely Gorgeous!!! You look amazing and your dress is absolutely fabulous!!!!

I mentioned it to my WC, I just said that a good friend of our was a photog and would be taking pictures for us. She didn't really say anthing about other than, the resort photographers were great or something along those lines. I received one email from arrecife with their packages and pricing and haven't heard anything else from them and that was in August when we secured our date.

Thanks for the tip, I’l keep my eyes open here in AB.

I’ve never heard of them either but checked out their website briefly and I’m definitely interested! Thanks for the tip!!

Great choice!! Love the flower detail and the back!

I'm looking forward to seeing them!!

100 days until I'm offical a Mrs! Time is flying!

Good Article. I will be posting on our wedding website.

Thanks for the info Crystalz. Jazmin gave me their contact info a couple of weeks ago and I emailed them, but haven't heard back yet. Did you find they got in the way your photographer?

Has anyone used Arrecife for videography? We're flying in our own photographer but are interested in getting a video of the ceremony as well. I recall reading that someone thought the video was really corny. If anyone has any examples, it would be greatly appreciated!! I would also have to agree with the other girls, what Arrecife is charging for 180 photos is extreme! We're paying $2500 flat fee for our photographer which includes the wedding day and TTD. If you feel that a 100 photo's will be enough, then go with them. I personally don't feel like a 100 photo's would be enough, I hope to have hundreds of special moments that are captured throughout the day. I think it will be hard to put a number on it. Don't sell yourself short, look into it more. You never know what you will find. You have to do what you feel is right though!

Yay!!

Check out some of the TA's on this site. They may not be local but they come very high recommended and specialize in DW's. I wish I had done more research and really looked around for a TA who specialized in Destination Weddings before we put down our deposit. Good Luck! I'm sure you will find someone who will put you at ease with the whole process!

Gorgeous dress!!! It’s very unique!!

Air Transat FINALLY released our flight intinerary! Yay!

Thanks Crystalz. I will ask my WC about it. She mentioned we could dine in one of the specialty restaurants but I don't want to use up everyone’s dinners.

Has anyone done or are doing a rehearsal dinner?

Congrats! I would love to see some photo's! And very smart!!!!

You’re glowing! This dress is great on you!

Thank you for the tips!! This is somethinh I have been thinking about as well.
