The Wedding Plans

Join us for a week or just 1-2 days at the Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda in the Beautiful Mayan Riviera.

We have arranged such a spectacular room rate at this beautiful new all-inclusive resort that our wedding will just be an excuse for you to get away!! The hotel will honor our great rate even if you want to stay a week after our wedding to languish in paradise on your own. One more thing... the more people who show up, the lower the rate drops.

When should you be there?

We will be arriving on Monday, April 7th, 2008 and leaving the following Monday, April 14th, 2008. The Roast 'n Toast will be on Friday night and the Wedding Ceremony and Reception will take place on Saturday, April 12th, 2008.

How do you get there?

A number of major airlines fly direct to the stunning new Cancun International Airport (CUN) in Mexico on the Yucatan Peninsula. Once you arrive, it is only a 35 minute ride to the resort which is just north of the quaint and charming town of Playa del Carmen. Check out the "HELPFUL HINTS" page above for airlines, taxi rental, cell phones, passport info, etc.

What to wear at the Ceremony:

While it is a beach ceremony, we request that you wear cocktail attire; no t-shirts, jeans, shorts, polo golf shirts, Hawaiian pattern shirts, etc. But then again, shoes are optional and NO ONE is allowed to wear a tie - if you do, I will have a scissor handy to cut it off! Jackets are optional.

NEW EXTENDED DEADLINE to RSVP: FEBRUARY 28, 2008

As most of you can attest, defining the "Wedding Guest List" is like fortune-telling. Please HELP US sort out our future by letting us know ASAP if you know FOR SURE that you WILL NOT be making it to the wedding by emailing us at no@ourtaleoflove.com.

If you need MORE TIME and can't make the deadline above, please just let us know by emailing us at comment@ourtaleoflove.com.

THE EVENTS:

Friday night, April 11th, 2008, will be the open mic Roast 'n Toast where attire will be casual and good stories will be told - this will be an "R-rated" evening... not that anyone has any incriminating stories about either of us - I'm sure!

Saturday evening, April 12th, 2008, I will see my Bride in her wedding dress for the first time. We will have the ceremony on the beach followed by high-spirited Jewish celebratory dancing, dinner, and more dancing. While you don't need shoes for the beach ceremony, you may want to have them for the rest of the evening.
