El Dorado Royale (EDR) Brides - POST HERE!

Here's what we found out from Valeria regarding El Cocotal: Each night has a theme night. She can send you the menu for your particular night. My daughter didn't care for the choices and was allowed to choose las Fuentes for their dinner. Valeria can send you the menus for that restaurant also. (I'd attach them, but I don't know how.) You can PM me for the menus if you would like.

I'm working on this as I type! Here's what I plan on using as our program - I have to send them to my invitation girl this week! I'm basically sticking with the format that the minister sent to me. I just can't figure out if I want to do the sand ceremony, though, or the Unity candle thing. I'd like to do the sand ceremony since it's unique, but we'll be getting married in the chapel. I'm also trying to figure out where to stick in the Somewhere over the Rainbow song. Should I do this during the sand ceremony/unity ceremony or after the recessional?

So where you happy with the dinner at las Fuentes. We have the gourmet night at El Cocotal's since it is thursday night. I'm not sure what to do. How about the setting in the 2 restaurants? I think I will send an email to get the other menu choice for las Fuentes too.

Thank you for the program. Now everything in quotations is the songs that you had during that part of the ceremony. The rest is the standard program?

I heard that they have the portable wooden walkway available, however its 100 usd, which includes a jute runner in any color you prefer.

Ugh, I really wanted this walkway but I don't want to pay $100 for the 30 seconds it takes me to walk down and then back on it.

We're using the ipod. I've been keeping a list of songs I need to get to put on my ipod, a set for eating dinner, our song, and then songs to dance too. I figured by the time you'd do your must play list and explain to the DJ what you want, you can just do it yourself.

I'm going to try to enlist a friend to making sure good music is playing.
