Just south of the border, a state of adventure and romance awaits.  A trip to Mexico’s sunny, white sand beaches and natural beauty will be an experience you’ll never forget.  When planning your wedding and honeymoon in Mexico consider the beautiful resorts talked about in today’s episode. 

There’s nothing more tantalizing than a private Jacuzzi with an ocean view, a massage with oils and flowers, or dinner and wine on a terrace under a moonlit night. You can enjoy these services in the intimacy and comfort of your hotel room, or in restaurants with bohemian or relaxed atmospheres.

Every Mexican destination offers a wide array of possibilities to make the most significant celebration of your life a pleasant experience.  You can opt for an intimate ceremony by the sea, a mystical ritual performed by a shaman, or an elegant fiesta with hundreds of guests in a garden.  Places like Cabo San Lucas, Los Cabos, Cancun and Puerto Vallarta offer everything you need to have a personalized wedding of any size.  With professional wedding planners available to arrange all nuptial details, couples may dare to dream up an elaborate yet completely stress-free event.

Mothers and daughters share a tight bond that can lead to both great tension and great friendship.  It's an intense relationship and one that we care about very much.  Giving and receiving criticism is a touchy subject and often occurs when planning a wedding.  Mothers feel obligated to make suggestions to show how much they care.  This level of scrutiny can be very frustrating.

Is your mom trying to claim your wedding as HER DAY?  Which kinds of things do moms do when they're trying to be the bride?  Are you reading too much into your mom’s suggestions?  When in the process does this type of thing start to happen?  What is it that a mom really wants or is trying to accomplish?  How should a mother-daughter communicate their feelings and desires?  

Holli Ehrlich and Sharon Naylor give helpful advice for daughters and for mothers/mother-in-laws.  They tackle issues about the guest list, attire, being the center of attention, money and so much more.  They share some of their personal experiences to reduce conflict, assumptions, and miscommunication and help you handle yours with TLC.
