Jstar - That is great news

 

JT3 - I am lying =) Or if we have to claim some I am separating the sum to have other family members hold traveler's checks (cause they can be tracked) but other than that - just lying =)

The weddingmares have begun with me too! I am stressed about one or two things. We were going to have stuff shipped to Italy in advance but it was way too expensive. We decided not to do OOT bags but pre-travel packages b/c of it...kinda bummed out about it but I must move on.

 

Good luck to everyone carrying or shipping OOT items.

I doubt it will matter, anything NOT to raise a red flag! HAHA!

Do you guys know that we will have to fill out customs card but are you ladies stating how much you are really bringing.... I usually put zero dollars but should we put more?

Good question! I had planned on bringing receipts (even made up ones) for the OOT stuff & tealight holders we're bringing just in case we get stopped, but I didn't consider declaring anything. I'm guessing I'll write "0" too, since, like kittenheart pointed out, we're not selling anything.
I found this link that talks about customs in Mexico
Mexico Travel - Entering Mexico - Government of Mexico

I'll consider myself lucky - no weddingmares yet. I'm in school so my nightmares are limited to projects & clinicals so far. I'll bet they'll creep in as we get closer tho.

I'm also starting to have the weddingmares!! I dreamed that the beach was eroded so badly that we couldn't have our reception on it and that the wind was so bad that my veil was doing the "helicopter" in all of my pictures and in the way. It was cloudy, rainy, and just nasty. Oh yeah, and the groom and his groomsmen were wasted drunk. Also, dreamed that nothing was organized and I ran out of time to do a welcome letter for my guests so nobody knew what was going on or where to go for the wedding. That was all in one dream! Talk about waking up in a sweat!!!

Astreit,

 

If it makes you feel any better i had a dream of this girl i used to know showing up at my wedding and throwing tiny rocks at me while i walked down the aisle. I guess it was for not inviting her! BRUTAL EH! hahaha i laughed but what a ridiculous dream. Ohhh the stress of the last two months!

I dreamed that I went to meet the wedding coordinators but they weren't at the resort, they were in the city and I had to take a train there, for some reason I went alone. And let me tell you, if Mexico looked like it did in my dream I would not be going! I went to the building where the wedding coordinators were, and tried to find their office but couldn't and I was getting harassed by all these drunk homeless people, and then got shot at by some gangster.. lol.. so I decided to leave but couldn't find the train back to the resort and no one would help me find it. Everyone was so mean! lol. I woke up panicked...

I had a dream that my wedding was all of a sudden in this giant house in LA. There were over 200 people there but all my accommodations were set up for 40 since that's the number coming to my Mexico wedding. I couldn't find my real dress so I ended up wearing my TTD dress which didn't fit and was falling off. I forgot my veil and my garter and my shoes. About to walk down the aisle I start crying because I didn't finish the ceremony or write my vows so the officiant had nothing to read. I ran down the aisle in this extremely crowed room in tears holding up my dress falling off of me telling FI we can't get married without vows... I found my mom watching tv upstairs with a friend while this whole thing went down and woke this this morning to LOUD thunder. Ugh!

[Lady_Di]

Aww thank goodness they were just dreams.

 

I dreamt that my MOH and I were in Mexico alone and we couldn't find the resort so we were wandering around. That was a weird dream!
