But I hate to that cause if I was gonna have a hotel type reception I would stayed here. But now we are thinking it my be too hot. What are you doing? Hope I don't pass puto my big dress! Lol

Hello BDW ladies, I have been reading through a few of these threads. I wanted to see if I could be part of this? I am planning our wedding In cancun July 5,2013. My family is not involved in helping me at & my mom didn't show up on the day to get my dress. So the closer it gets I have been thinking how would I do the something barrowed or blue stuff? I am not having a shower or bridesmaids. I have been buying OoT stuff for guest coming mostly his family and see all the brides gifts and I think it's starting bumb me out. Even if know ones doing it let me know what to do I would like to do it for someone else? It really sucks when you don't have help or family or friends involved. Thank god for my FI. He even took me dress shopping!

Is anyone getting married at GCR in June or July? I have seen a lot of other cooler months and wanted know if I am the only ding dong that picked hottest time? Or how did other do if they had last summer? ???

They have a Walmart in down town cancun. I would buy water bottles there!

After reading thru a LOT of these post I noticed Brides referring to the same names at the GCR. However I still haven't found any one mentioning Patty? She is the person who gave us the tour when we where there back in September and emails. She has told me it is all reserved and I paid deposit but have not gotten a contract?? Should I be concerned its July5, 2013! Also I deal with a guy named Ramiro to do the room blocking and room rates??

OK so my box thingy now has all the buttons on it i guess because I have posted couple times. Hello makes things a lot easier now. Yes dress was from Davids its Vera Wang's new 2013 spring collection. After looking around for a TTD I realized I probably picked the most expensive dang dress in the place. But my FI says he feels good about it cause he sees me watch all those shows on TV and was nervous I would want a 5,00+ I also told him I ordered the dress, sash, veil. =2,000 so I'm OK. anyways, the alterations lady said $150 to cut 2 inches off bottom & bustle. I want to be barefoot on beach. but when i went to pay the lady at desk said alterations start at $300. I think i want to look around for cheaper one. I have lost 4 more pounds this past week and am 10 pounds from my goal.So I'm sure the waist will need to be taken in a little. it zips up now.

LOL! True...I don't know if you have ever been but it is just one long main road and it is crazy to me how fast they drive. The buses swerving in and out of traffic with these little taxis going by & people on scooters. We always rent a car because we are very adventurous and like to take off on our own excursions to the cenotes. He drives not me!!!

Wow! So got contract done for room blocked & I was even able to get our flight locked in through United. Because the flights are already getting so high. Now we are just waiting on $ to come in from guest so I can start ordering stuff off etsy. I think although it made some stressful days for me it really put our guest at ease to know exactly what it will cost. Especially with flight going from$600-$799. Thanks so much for replys!

Sorry I took so long to reply. I was busy dress shopping! But yes it is close. Not walking distance but if u get a chance when u leave airport just ask taxi or whom ever to point it out on the way to hotel. Cancun people love to help, that's why I love it there. I live in Houston. Lol Mall will be on right before u get to the GCR. The cheapest way to get there FYI is when u walk out GCR cross street to nearest bus stop that has busses going that direction. It will cost u like .50in pesos! Ride it down a couple of stops u can even tell driver luxury mall. When it stop across street from mall get out and cross street yourself. The bus runs up & down hotel zone. Rather than ride it to end back @ we always get off & RUN across street. Hope this helps.

Yeah! I was so excited when I saw that y'all replied!! Sorry I didn't reply sooner but....I was out getting my dress! I can't belief I have ordered it with only 3 apts. I fell in love with a Vera Wang dress at David's the second store I visited. When I went to the other location to try it on in my size I fell in love love with another. So I made apt for Sunday trying to include my very difficult mother. (another story) she was a no show but my friend cam & aunt, soon be sis-law. I was so nervous they wouldnt like it as much as I did. But they loved it. I wish I knew how t post a pic ? It should be here in May. I hopping to loose 10 more pounds. Now I'm curious about getting it altered some where else cause of the cost. It was $500 more than I wanted to spend. I couldn't believe I fell for 2 dresses thinking one would be hard. But the 2nd looks so romantic & screams romantic beach to me.

Yeah Congrats Lady's We Will be there for our big day July 5, 2013 I have already begun the hotel reservations myself/contract due to the fact the hotel is overbooked for the week of our wedding.They never sent me any notification and we were all just waiting till after the Holidays to pay. Now I am collecting all the info and room count and $ which I did not want to do! But The Hotel has been super nice and accommodating. I am getting a little concerned tho because I keep asking for the contract and even calling wanting to pay deposit. 2 weeks and still no contract. Ramiro keeps assuring me the rooms are on hold.Hope so we are at 36 guest and i haven't even sent out our passport invites. I decided to get a contract with United also they only booked half and now the price has gone from 500 to 741$ a ticket. I found out today and cried a lot. Any ways, I just wanted to offer my knowledge to y'all about Cancun, Playa, Tulum, the Cenotes etc..We have been there several times. I also wanted to note that I see a lot of BDW taking a lot of stuff (maracas, etc) I know the best "cheapest place to get all your Mexican style souvenirs. in the last place you would think. The Luxury mall that has a giant Louis Vuitton sign out front. I m not sure the name but it is on the first floor. most stuff a dollar. All the small tequila bottle, t-shirts, magnets, etc...We always go on our last day on the way to airport to grab souvenirs for family. they always have a free beach bad deal too! I don't recommend the flea markets for any of this stuff and we have been to all those too. so if any one want restaurant or stuff to do???

yeah Lady's how exciting. I am also at the GCR July 5, 2013. Hope I don't pass out from the heat! I am new to this site and terrible with computers but I just wanted to offer any tips on Cancun or Playa, Cozumel, Tulum, etc. We love to travel and have been there several times. I see a lot of brides packing a lot of things for the guest that are so cheap over there. There is a great store for all the Mexican style souvenirs shells, maracas etc. I have been to all the Flea markets over there and i have to tell you if you are white and don't speak Spanish be prepared to spend way too much $. The store is everything they sell in the flea markets t-shirts and stuff. But in a mall called the Luxury mall. Last place you would think. I am not sure the name but first floor. cant miss it. Has to be cheapest store in there. Also a great place to hit up on your last day to pic up any souvenirs for family on the low. Just a tip. I also know great places to eat and etc if anyone interested.

Thanks I am trying to work on that now! Hopefully everyone who's says they are coming show p now. Or I'll have a big bill to pay! Yikes lol

Hi, new to this and just starting on my July 5th wedding! Yes. Trying to loose weight still and I was wondering when is the latest possible time to start dress shopping? I only have 5 months to go. With a 1 year old!!! I don't really have an exact dress I like or a photo. Only a pic on pinterestmicheal of the back of one. From a designer not even in this country. So what is the best route for me to take. Please help!

Busy year for us with a baby girl (Eva). We just started working on wedding stuff & found this site. Very helpful. We have had problems with everything seems like. Hotel is already over booked & we haven't even booked our room let alone guest. We also had to pick July 5 so family could come. Hot hot hot! I wanted 6 but hotel already booked. Now I'm freaking out on how this is all going to turn out. Have @ 35 guest but the complaint about $ has already begun. The cost of flights have gone through the roof as well. How is everyone doing this??? I just was my FI & I on beach with my Eva walking down aisle so pretty. The rest....yikes!
