You can kinda see my hair and how the veil was moving:

This one kinda captures the wind and Jack's difficulty in getting the sand in.

This is the best shot I could find of my hair, it kinda looks like a napkin is coming out of it though. The hair lady is awesome, did a fantastic job. My bangs kinda came out of weird but it was due to the hairspray and stuff. So my advice is bring both front and back pics of your hair.

If you are set on wearing a veil and don't mind it blowing around during your processional and vows then wear it. Otherwise if you not too keen on wearing it anyways it could be distracting or cause weird photos.

I'd bring your own sand ceremony kit if possible. I didn't because it was one less thing I'd have to carry but his sand was recently dyed and chunky and almost kinda moist. He had such a hard time getting it in since there was no funnel. My sand was fine and dry and went in fine. But now they mixed and instead of looking like red and yellow sand, its looks orange and chunky.

I only have non-pro pics from my camera obsessed friend. If you want to see them all (there's a lot and some non-wedding related), PM me and I'll share the gallery with you.

Welcome back Melba. Glad to hear you had a great time. Can't wait to see the pics!

Working on the review and non-pro pics. Also wanted to let you know that they served us champagne at our private event. We didn't have to buy a bottle or anything, they just served every table and poured it automatically. We thought that was a really nice touch.

Thanks Melba. I am glad everything worked out and I can't wait to hear/see more.

El Dorado Royale wedding review 5/10/08

med32 · 05-19-2008, 05:47 PM

Hello to everyone! My fiance and I are getting married at El Dorado Royale next March. So far we've chosen our locations for a Friday cocktail party for all guests, a ceremony location, and a private reception location. We're starting to get nervous that we haven't done more, but I just emailed Valeria our coordinator. Does anyone have any advice or timelines from this far out? I'd love to hear from any of you...your blogs have been so helpful to read so far! Thanks....Amy : )

Your pictures are beautiful the ones you have posted. I also wanted to find out what program outline you used. I have one from someone and not sure if it is the same standard they use. I'm not sure if they use the mexican civil marriage advises for signing of the documents? Then the marriage celebrations
would cover the wedding vows to the introduction of the couple. Now did you play music just during the processional and signing of the documents? Just trying to finish putting mine together at the last minute.

Thanks for your help or if anyone else knows the above answers to put me in the right direction so I have them printed correctly

I posted my program in my review post.

I had music while guests were being seated (three songs), then a song for the groomsmen, one for the bridesmaids, bridal processional, and recessional. I didn't have one for the signing of the documents because I didn't think we had to sign anything - our ceremony was symbolic not legal. But we did sign a symbolic ceremony certificate.

I'm not sure where to find your program on your review post. If you can help me out & direct me there. Thanks
