Long story short, my best friend of almost 10 years, who has already accepted my proposal to be my MOH, is now complaining all the time about how she cannot afford to go to Mexico. While I disagree with her spending, and choosing to go to an expensive college, if she cannot go I have to have a back up plan. She is not making saving money a priority. My other best friend, is my mother in law. She is like the mother I never had growing up. As none of my other friends are able to make the trip to Mexico, would it be acceptable to have my mother in law as my MOH? Thank you all for the advice, it has definitely been stressful for me not knowing if my best friend will be able to make the trip.

I think it would be a beautiful demonstration of your connection to your future MiL and she most definitely can stand up as your MoH if your current one bails!!! I think it's fantastic!

Do it!  I think it is a wonderful choice :)  Shows how much she means to you.  

 

Perhaps I would even put it out there to your current MOH and say, if you are unable to save up and make the trip for my special day I have someone else that is willing to stand up for me.  This way you take pressure off of her (she has an out) and you take a whole load of stress off of you!!

 

I found for us our deadline was pretty short for people to make a down payment.  In Canada we have a 90 window.  I was freaking out the last two weeks of the 90 days but I'm happy to say everyone waited to the very last minute to make a down payment and book.  When you think about it people like to hold on to their money right until the very last minute.  Maybe your current MOH isn't aware that she can pay this trip off in installments?

 

So have you heard more from the wedding coordinator at Barcelo?  :) I still haven't heard anything sigh...

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      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!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      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!
