July 2010 Brides!!

You have no idea. Since this posting I have actually removed the lime and turquoise from my colors which means I need to go ribbon shopping for my STD's. Now what am I going to do with 30 yards of lime and turquoise ribbon cut into 6 " strips!? Use it for future projects I suppose... people getting bday cards may notice a pattern....

Tell us anything else about yourself and/or your wedding: I am a visual person, so planning a destiantion wedding will be interesting. I like to see pictures of everything, before I make any decisions.

So far I have a TA and we just got quotes on the group rates for the RIU Negril.

Can I ask what the group rates are, La'Chaundar? I got rates from one TA so far for the Riu in Cabo. Different location altogether, but I wondered if they were similar.

I'd be interested in that too La'Chaundar--- we are still trying to figure out whether or not we want to do a group thing... Probalby not since they say you all have to arrive and leave on the same day but who knows!

Hey Everyone - we just booked our date!

The group rates I got a quote for were for a 4 night stay around $680 per person for a double occupancy or $844 per person for 5 night stay. 7 nights run about $1, 162 per person. This is at the RIU Negril. Hope this helps!!!

By the way I stayed at the RIU Palace in Los Cabo last year, and that hotel is wonderful. Beautiful Place.

I have confirmation from the RIU Negril, that our date is available and booked. One task down and several to go.
