I'm taking a ride with my best friend; I hope he never lets me down again

Right, we're not actually just taking a ride with our best friend, we're getting married!  And it's you lot we don't want to let us down!

So, here comes a big post!

We've had lots of questions, mostly falling into 2 categories: where to stay and what to wear, and both are covered here!


Where to stay?  November seems like it's a long way away, but it's only about 4 months.  Rooms in Azul Fives should be booked with Melissa of Beach Bum vacations before August, or the rates won't be guaranteed.  Her rates are discounted from the direct hotel published rates.

We've had more Yes replies than bookings, which means it's time for you Yes's to book your rooms!

This will help us to know that you are guaranteed space at the resort.  We've had a booking or two without a reply, which we think is weird.

So, now, what to wear? The best descriptor we found while searching for the answer to this is Beach Formal. What the rock does that mean, you ask?
It doesn't mean any of these:

Guys:  It does mean smart casual, and consider you are in Mexico, where it's hot!  Light colors are good, ties are optional, shorts are haram!

Ladies:  We reckon you'll cope with this much  better than the lads.  Just remember we may be on the beach, so this probably isn't the time to break out your stilettos.
