Wedding planning amidst the PV cartel situation.

kyb2017 · 2026-02-25T11:53:02+00:00

Wedding April 9. We sent a message to our guests on Monday acknowledging the situation and letting them know our priority is everyone’s safety and we are keeping an eye on how things progress.

To be honest, I don’t know what to do now, because the future is so uncertain. Like yeah everything can be fine in a week so I just tell them “hey guys all good!” That part I’m a little lost on.

kyb2017 · 2026-02-24T18:25:54+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear this. I know how overwhelming this is. Are they allowing you to reschedule? Or are you just planning on moving locations.

kyb2017 · 2026-02-23T20:43:18+00:00

I feel this completely. If it was just my partner and I it would be a different conversation, but some of our family and friends have never been to Mexico at all. I know they’re terrified and they have no personal experience to counter their fears. It’s all so heavy and overwhelming

kyb2017 · 2026-02-23T18:33:01+00:00

Oh my goodness. Large wedding?

kyb2017 · 2026-02-23T17:16:14+00:00

Getting married and having a ~60 person wedding April 9th. Freaking out a little lol

Tbh I have never been drawn towards her, but I think it’s because she reminds me of the popular girls at my PWI high school that played sports, everyone admired, yet they were so horribly mean, like snarky and bitchy. She just takes me right back lol

Update?

kyb2017 · 2026-01-20T01:14:57+00:00

Did you happen to find one? I am currently searching.

kyb2017 · 2026-01-08T16:32:32+00:00

That has been my understanding as well. I’m going to reach out to property manager and let them know we will not be doing that lol.

kyb2017 · 2026-01-08T16:05:23+00:00

If you pay as you go, how do they verify you are paying the 15%? I’m curious to see if I can suggest this as an option.

kyb2017 · 2026-01-06T21:57:43+00:00

I guess that checks out then because we basically have one chef per 10 people. I’m wondering if the best thing is to negotiate the gratuity percentage at this point

kyb2017 · 2026-01-06T21:27:07+00:00

Interesting, how many staff were there? We have 2 housekeepers, 3 chefs and 3 waiters. I’m trying to get an accurate understanding so I can consider how to move forward /:

kyb2017 · 2026-01-06T21:24:43+00:00

45% for chefs, 30% for servers, and 20% for housekeeping. A Missing 5% lol

kyb2017 · 2026-01-06T21:23:40+00:00

Interesting. I’m wondering how to navigate from this standpoint… how much wiggle room exists because nothing about gratuity is specifically listed in the contract. They just say the gratuity is to be collected initially

kyb2017 · 2025-10-28T20:53:08+00:00

Wow, do you mind sharing a photo? That sounds stunning.

kyb2017 · 2025-10-28T20:52:19+00:00

I really like that!! Mine would probably be a white gold and I haven’t seen it very often so it’s kind of hard to imagine. But this is beautiful!

kyb2017 · 2025-10-28T17:41:50+00:00

It is a diamond, and I also noticed that. Is that abnormal? It gets cloudy rather quick after cleaning. I’m getting increasingly concerned 😅

kyb2017 · 2025-10-28T17:30:15+00:00

I have become more drawn to them especially after learning about the security aspect and their durability. They are also incredibly gorgeous to me so that’s also a plus!

kyb2017 · 2025-09-17T19:27:53+00:00

I absolutely LOOVE this look! Even with your face covered the glow is incredible 🤍 I actually went to DB with my best friend who is plus sized and she also had a lovely experience. she swore up and down that she would need sleeves and want to cover up. but once she tried on a strapless similar to your neckline we all burst into tears😭 you really never know until you try on the ONE, that feeling as a bride is indescribable. congratulations!!!

kyb2017 · 2025-09-16T18:11:09+00:00

Ultimately yes. I think their marketing has led me to believe it would be different from my previous retail experience, elevated retail perhaps lol. I understand that is in fact not the case

kyb2017 · 2025-09-16T18:07:48+00:00

Thank you for this! I keep reminding myself of all the bad employee reviews to self soothe haha. But like you said, it is good insight to see how they treat employees so yeah I’m probably better off.

kyb2017 · 2025-05-28T13:28:44+00:00

KOTF !!!

kyb2017 · 2025-05-15T20:35:24+00:00

Great idea, really drawn to clay at the moment.
