I am a little nervous and somewhat concerned about having to do the blood test down in Mexico the days before my wedding... has anyone already done this? As I hate needles and anything to do with them... some advice would really help me out!!! Thanks! :)

Yes, I noticed you are getting married at El Dorado Seaside, a Karisma resort. I got married at Azul Beach, also a Karisma resort. It was SO EASY!!!! I have had blood drwan on a few occasions, and get ill everytime...I didn't even FEEL it, I swear! The nurse that came to our room didn't speak any english, but the wedding coordinator was with her. she was so gentle. My stepfather was there who is a doc (I made sure he was there in case I passed out!), and even he commented on how good she was. You have nothing to worry about.

DH and I got our blood taken in Mexico!

We got married at the Barcelo Maya Palace. On the resorts property there is a medical office. This is were we went to get our blood work. The Dr there didnt speak the best English, but I come from a Chilean family, so I speak perfect Spanish. It helped... Most resorts do have a medical office...

DH is terrified of having his blood taken. He's fine with needles but not good with blood being drawn. We just had him lie down, and he was fine. Also, I was talking to him the whole time, to distract him.

It all worked out in the end.

If you can have your FH talk you thru it, you'll be fine :) best of luck

Make sure you have your FI there to talk you through it and don't look at the needle! If you're not looking at it a lot of times you don't even feel it!

 

Having blood drawn doesn't really bother me, but I am nervous that it will leave a mark for my wedding day...I am very pale and bruise very easily and almost every time I have blood drawn I am left with a giant bruise on my arm sad.gif

 

I'm hoping it will at least be gone before the big day sad.gif

Hello, I am getting married in the Mayan Riviera Nov 2009 (we are just waiting on final quotes to come back from our travel agent). I know a friend who was married last year and had her wedding take place at the Royal resort. She said the blood work was not sketchy at all. Very professional and clean so no need to worry. It will be alright!

 

 

Take care

I'm so glad someone asked this - I was worried about it too. I've been leaning towards Jamaica for the wedding, just because I didn't want to have a blood test done. But, everyones responses are very reassuring, maybe I'll have to reconsider.

Does anyone know about the chest x-rays? Where are these carried out? Apparently, they aren't required in all areas of Mexico? Does anyone know anything about this?

I know...I thought the same thing when I read "chest Xrays" and I have been told and checked some of the paper work I received back from two different wedding coordinators at resorts and neither stated a chest X ray was required. The only thing that was required was the blood work. The Mayan Riviera does not require chest X rays no need to worry about that : )

Yeah I heard about that too... but luckily at my resort all they require is the blood work! So thats a good thing.. don't know if I could have handled that too!!! But all these comments are soooo reassurring! They have helped me relax about the whole situation! So thank you ladies! Keep the advice or comments coming!!!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
