RIU RM Palace Brides??

Hey Nic
It says your post was entered at 3:47 EST (my time) so I think you are 5 hours ahead of me...not sure about everyone else.

Sorry I missed you Sammysgirl. Hope you enjoy every minute of your trip! CONGRATS!

I can't find you on facebook! I added a Lindsey Hearne and you definitely are not her...can you find me? Virginia Vetter.

I couldn't find her either?

Ill be thinking about you this weekend Sammysgirl! Does that mean I'm next!

 

I'm waiting for Ael's response, but does anyone know if I need to bring the flower girls basket? And also for a DVD slide show, we have a portable projector, do you think we can just borrow their screen or will we have to pay for it? O ya, also for the DJ- how should we bring father daughter song, on an Ipod?

I missed Sammysgirl leaving! Sending love and luck, and anxiously awaiting pix

As for the flower girls basket, I think they have them for sale, but I am bringing my own. DVD slide show.... I feel like I remember someone talking about this awhile back.... so I'm not much help! Sorry Paige! So when do you leave? How does it feel to be so close? Everyone tells me how close I am but I feel like I've been waiting over a lifetime!

Paige - you must be so excited! What do you have left to do?

Hi guys I back from my site visit. During my visit I saw 5 resorts and met with WC in each of them: Barcelo Palace, Aventura Palace, Paradisus, Iberostar Lindo and Maya, and of course Riu PRV and Riu Palace Mexico.

I am postin a picasa links with photos:

please feel free to ask any questions.

I decided to switch to Riu Palace Mexico, since I want my ceremony be in the kiosk. Ael said that RPRM will not have space around to sit more than 20 guests and we will have more than that number and RPM will. It has bigger plaza.

 

One of the reasons I want ceremony in kiosk is: there would be no people in swimming suites. During our stay we saw 2 weddings: one on the bitch and one in Gazibo. Around both places there were a lot of people watching. Even Ael said that she will tell people to stay a bit away. I stood about 25 feet from the ceremony in my bikini with camera. So this is how far all spectators are standing. (about 6 women were topless. when i was taking pictures of that wedding, those topless ladies were in my shots. If anyone wants to see those weddings I can post photos of them)

Both places are very similar and in great condition.

I have booked November 27 at 4 pm RPM.

 

Now my FI is worried about situation with gushing oil. If they will not stop it by august, we all can say good buy for swimming during our stay in Mexico. We are getting insurance and telling to all our gusts do the same. I am crossing my fingers that it will not happen, but my FI says if we cannt swimm and enjoy the ocean, what the point to go there. So in august we eather staying with wedding in Mexico or canceling and switching to other place (may be Riu in Jamaica)

 

Again feel free to ask

Thanks for all the great info Staicy.... I had no clue about the whole oil thing and how it may affect our stay, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the review Stacy and the pictures. One quick question - I had read somewhere that topless/nude tanning was not allowed in Mexico. Is that not the case for the private resorts? Not a big deal either way...just trying to figure out how to explain this one to my two future step-sons (who will be 12 and 14 when we are in Mexico...). I'm afraid they will not stop staring all week! Uh oh...

CONGRATULATIONS Lindsey! Today is your big day!!! Hope it is perfect in every way.
