May 2009 Brides

[AlmostaSeif]

I don't know what to do. We haven't had anyone cancel yet, but I feel like its just a matter of time. I have everyone freaking out about it. I don't blame them though. I talked to my wedding coordinator who is there and really isn't that worried about it. I really don't know what to do. My FI wants to cancel...go to Aruba and only have a few of us. We have 41 people booked and all I can think about is all the planning I have put into everything to make this the wedding of our dreams. It almost figures that something would ruin it. =(

[Soon To Be Mrs. Gomez]

I want to go ahead and trust WC since she lives in Cabo and she should know about the virus.

[AlmostaSeif]

I want to trust her too, but she knows just as much as we all do. In reality the airlines that most of my guests are using is Mexicana. A mexican airlines that has flown to Mexico City. I know this is taking it a step further, but those flight attendants could have came in contact with the virus. I am thinking worse case senario here. We are going to give it a few days. We are working on Plan B, and can only sit and wait. It's just so crazy.

FI *should* go for it ... and he did!

My FI is the one who picked the song because he loves The Pouges.
I didn't think it would work until we danced to it and I almost started to cry!!!

so far none of our guests are freaking out about the flu thing (at least not to us) but there are a few i know we'll hear it from.

 

i can't believe you ladies have had people CANCEL because of it. i'm so sorry and i wish i could say something to make it better.

This is crazy. Flu is in the US and in Canada as well. So, it's the same risk ? Me not understand.

Crap ! I had not thought they could restrict travel... If they don't do it before Wednesday at least we can be there and have our wedding. The only important people will be there - me, and DH...

[jax_the_beach_bride]

Wow!restrict travel!? I hope not... Do u think they'd do that for the isles? I'm crossing my fingers for the Mexico brides!! I have a feeling that there is more than bite in this flu

[jax_the_beach_bride]

^^^ that was supposed to say more fear than bite* sorry

[Blkatz]

I just spoke to a few good friends that are doctors-and here is their advice...it is the flu. People in Mexico who passed away probably did not have good healthcare and did not realize how serious it was.

We bought tons of hand sanitizer and plan on using it. Our dr friend said to make sure you wash your hands and to bring TamiFlu just in case you have flu symptoms.
