The Mexican Wedding that Almost Never Was

[CDNinNYC]

Hey Ladies!

as some of you may know, I was scheduled to be married in Playa del Carmen on May 29th. Things were going so well with the planning; absolutely no hiccups. Then, news broke out last week that Mexico was hit with the Swine Flu and all hell broke loose!

After a week and a bit of Canadian Tour Operators canceling flights and hotel reservations, trying to find a new location, debating the postponement of our wedding, losing all our deposits, and feeling incredibly guilty for the inconveniences/hassles our guests were going through being denied refunds, we got some great news today!

Air Canada and Air Transat have agreed to reinstate the hotel reservations and refund the air portion of the packages which we can then apply towards flights with US carriers.

It's not as convenient as a direct flight, but we'll take it!

I wanted to thank you all for your help and support. It's been a really stressful time and you all have made it easier to bare.

Right now, I'm just keeping my fingers, toes, and eyes crossed that nothing else will go wrong. I tell you, it wouldn't surprise me if Mexico was hit by hail storms, hurricanes, and an invasion of locusts in the coming weeks. That poor country.

Oh, CDN! I''m so happy to hear that you were able to get refunds from the carriers! The 29th is SO CLOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Lauren!

I tell you, a huge weight has been lifted off my chest. Now I can get back to planning; I''m so behind now!

YAY!!! Wow... So glad things are looking up. I''ll keep my fingers, eyes, and toes crossed for you, as well!

YAH! Woo Hoo! Yipee! Wowza!

I'll keep everything crossed for you too! CDN, seriously I'm so thrilled for you! I was really worried about you and your wedding plans, and have been checking in for any updates. I didn't want to add to the stress by keeping the other thread alive. But, what awesome news! Please, please, please let us know if there's anything we can help you with! YAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, CDN's having her Mexican wedding

Good luck with the final planning.

[CDNinNYC]

Thanks so much, bee*, PilsnPinkysMom, pocahontas, pjean, kama_s, and gaby06! Your support has been really appreciated! We''re still going through some hiccups and our guest list has dropped a bit but that would have happened if we had postponed or changed locations anyways.

Two weeks before we leave!
