OMG....you're getting married in less than a WEEK!!!! congrats, you'll have a beautiful wedding! I would love to get gazebo measurements and details of the terrace re-model...i know i also asked peterpanpixiedust but just covering my bases

They didn't charge me for the rehearsal, we had the minister come and we were supposed to be charged for her transportation ($60) but I don't think they ever did. The whole thing was super short but I felt better meeting the minister before and talking through our script. (We had a native English speaker from Canada and she was WONDERFUL.)

The terrace is closed through the end a June according to Cecilia. I took pics of their progress I will post. I was bummed to find that out at first but we had our cocktail hour in the garden and it was so pretty.

I'm not sure the exact measurements but she hung my 8ft beads and they were short so I'd say the columns are about 12 ft? I had my decorations made for the old gazebo so we just made it work and it was fine.

I hope your wedding went well too! I'm so sorry you slipped through the cracks and I didn't end up wishing you a happy wedding day on your day. I am going to the airport in 4 hours. I had to go to the ER on monday, and today I just found out my laptop battery died, and all of my wedding docs , not to mention my Grad school stuff was on it. So luckily I can still plug it in (but the plug is testy and turns my whole computer off if I touch it wrong). So, instead of sleeping, I am transfering all my data on to an external harddrive. Most of it was on my flash, but now I need back up for my backup, since my computer may not work if the plug goes. AHHHHHH! Can I ever just have a good vacation from start to finish.

Btw, I haven't forgotten my requests, I have measuring tape for the gazebo columns (I will also ask the height), my camera (I hope I don't get jinxed and break it) which I will take pics of Desires, and I will ask for Terrace rennovation info. Good news, my mommy inherited a little money and gave me some for our trip, so now I can have money for the trip and still be able to pay off the ER bill. Good Times!

Ok, so after this week and an all night last night, I've been kind of a grumpy gus. But I made it to Cancun, I feel like I was scared of the airport for nothing (piece of cake with all 5 of us getting green lights), our flight was delayed 40 mins (right after he told us we should be leaving a little early, then he made a joke that you can't believe your pilot...LOL). Well, my computer started working again, and I'm on it right now talking to you guys. Our hotel is gorgeous, I drank a Tropicana (not the orange juice ;-) ) and ate an awesome burger tonight, had swim races with FI and future BIL, swam in the ocean before the waves washed me away. And guess what, I could see Dreams from the front side of our room, and the ocean in the back. Here's some pics... don't mind our sour pusses, he couldn't find the strength to smile and I looked dead (no sleep).

 

The gazebo is the little white dot.

 

This is the Royal Sands, and we will go to Dreams on Tues. I will give updates.

Ladies - I am back from a wonderful wonderful wedding! I cannot even tell you all how wonderful everyone was at the Dreams. I was married on Tuesday 6/8 and the day could not have went more smoothly! I have to tell you that if you have Cecilia as your wedding coordinator you should be so excited! She was fantastic! She went above and beyond my expectations! I am going to work on my review right now for all of you ladies!!! So glad to be home!
