Paradisus Riviera Brides - POST HERE!

CDNGroom - such a well said post above - sometimes, while I loved this forum during the planning process, it gave me more stress to see what everyone else was doing. For me, the response time was actually pretty good, usuallly only a few days .. so it wasn't too bad.

We did the legal ceremony and wrote our own vows. We also did the sand ceremony which we wrote. Both of these are attached. I also put together a "wedding day timeline" which I have attached as well.

Instead of a bouquet toss, I decided to dedicate my bouquet to my grandma - yes at 77 years old she and my grampie travelled to MExico with us. I have also attached that for anyone else who is interested!

Hey Julie, just a tip, when I emailed Perla I found it much easier to write one long email with all of my questions listed together and sometimes numbered, rather than a bunch of short emails with one or two questions in them. It may take her a little time to get back to you, but then atleast you know she got all of the questions and she will answer them.

I'm actually a little jealous of everyone who is still planning. I want to do it again!

Kelly did you have to add the people from Del Sol to your dinner guests?

No, but I didn't ask either... I kind of snuck it in there at the end that I needed a small table for the photogs to sit at. Perla said no problem and set it up. We had a buffet dinner, so the 2 photogs just ate with everyone else. I didn't pay anything for them. I figured the outside vendor fee was enough and wouldn't have paid a separate fee for a meal. I did have favors for the photogs so their small table was set up just like our regular tables.

That is very helpful information - I was wondering what to do with the photographers. Did you have to pay for an extra centerpiece for that smaller table too?
