I was ready to make a deposit, but it took them forever to get back to me, I had to email them for a third time today and finally it was... oh it's not available. I have no idea what to do Maybe they can put us in the Gran Porto Gazebo? Rosieposie, looks like we'll be down there the same time. My date is May 21, 2011

Jessica is right, the GPR gazebo is gorgeous and I actually think gives better shots of the ocean behind you.

Same here. If I hyphenate, my name will be ten syllables long (oh my)...and if I take his name, i lose my ethnicity lol....

[jesmcan]

I feel you girls on the name thing, same issue here and everyone calls me by my last name. I have always been called by my last name since high school so that could be weird lol. So I don't now either yet....

 

In other news my dress came in today!!!! my 1st fitting is August 12th and than I have 5 more after that. 4 months away!! ladies the time just flies as you know.

I'm in the same situation regarding last name. I want to keep mine and my fiance isn't too happy about it. He actually gets quite upset when I tell him that I want to keep my name. It's not that I don't like his last it just doesn't doesn't flow well, too many "m's" and I sound like an Irish Catholic nun, lol.

 

My only choice is to hyphenate so we both get what we want.

I think we'll be there Wednesday to Wednesday. No earlier times

The good news....Del Sol pulled through today, they sent me like 30 slide shows with the location and which wedding planners did them, so freaking awesome! Melissa their office coordinator deserves huge props! I am also waiting to hear on the Gran Porto gazebo... but I am sure it will be days.. Right now we are leaning toward the Xcaret for the wedding, but staying at the Royal for the week.

[RunningBride24]

Yay Jess! So exciting about the dress! Keep us posted!

 

I'm totally in the same boat as you ladies. I love my last name, but my fiance gets offended when I want to hyphenate, but I feel like I'm losing my identity.....

I love my last name as well and it would be way too spanish sounding if I hyphenate my name but my husband's last name is beautiful so I don't mind dropping my last name.
