I like # 2 its fun and beachy. Where is it from?

Congrats and Happy Planning!

I heard back from Valeria and Riu ... she said that they have at max 3 weddings a day. With at least an hour break in between them. Therefore, since my wedding is at 4 the next closest would be at 2. So I think your guests should have plenty of time inbetween!

For those of you had a group of 35-50... did you have a seating arrangement/place cards set up. Or did you just let your guests choose for themselves?

Morgan - I love your new ticker!

Did you have a seating chart or place cards set up at dinner... or did you just let your guests sit where they wanted?

For your dinner did you set up seating ahead of time and use place cards... or did you just let your guests figure it out?

(And for future brides it is easy to do... just copy the most current list... click on advanced reply at the bottom of the page... paste the list and add yourself in!)

I voted #3! ( and it is what I plan on doing for myself as well) Unless flowers are a complete must... I think we can all think of many better ways to spend $1000! Get the beautiful ones you want for yourself and some bright/fun parasols for your girls. I actually polled my own BMs with this question... and they all voted for parasols!

Welcome! There are lots of great ideas here to choose from... Good Luck & Happy Planning

Welcome

Congrats! I'm glad everything went well for you. Thanks for an amazing review and hte pics!

So cute! I love that he was so excited that he couldn't wait any longer. I was talking to one of my guy friends and he told me that he's been warned not to have the ring in his possession until its the right time for exactly that reason.

I am in the middle of my program (doctorate or pharmacy) and was worried the complications/confusions that might arise if we got married the summer after graduation while I was in the process of taking my boards, applying for residencies or jobs, etc. I know it sounds weird... but that ended up being a part of the reason we are getting married when we are (5 months before graduation). This way not only can I have my new name on all my professional stuff.... but since FI and I are graduating in the same class I will get to sit by him and walk across the stage near him at graduation. (cheesy I know...) Plus although my current last name is unique most people say or pronounce it wrong... and I really don't have any other sentimental attachment to it.

Haha... fun story. Its awesome that you get to drive by the spot and remember it

My FI will be in a suit and the GM in matching khakis and short sleeve shirts. We had talked about shorts but my FI was actually the one most against it... he worried it would too informal in pics ... plus he doesn't like his skinny legs! lol

Welcome and Happy Planning! Our fingers are crossed for you!

From what other people have mentioned I think there is at least an hour or so for rum/punch and photo time. I actually just asked the WCthat question and am waiting a respsone. But maybe a previous ROR bride can help!

Aww... I think that is really cute. Congrats! I think it is rare that the proposal ever comes in the form we dreamed about. lol

So far I think I am going to do what was mentioned above... order bags online for cheap and then have them screenprinted locally. The local place wouldn't come down on their bag price. If you find a place that does it all in one for a good place let me know!

So cute! They are simple but elegant. Love the sand dollar.

I love the eyelet look of the first one! I really like it with the pink sash! Would you be adding the colored sash?

I actually like dress #1 as well. I love the assymetric line... and slight v in the back. If it's really heavy though - that could be a concern... although from what previous brides has said we are going to be hot no matter what. I say see how you feel after your 2nd fitting. If your still feeling iffy and your heart tells you to go with the second than go with it. You can always try and sell the one you don't go with.

What did she email you this morning?? I only got the first confirmation email, Friday night same as you. Are you working with a TA? My TA is taking care of booking everything for me. I emailed her immediately (in a slight panic) with the concern of reserving a room and whether I need to have money available right now to do so. She told me not to worry and I just gave her the confirmation number they gave me and the rest of the info and she said she would take care of it. Something about switching the request to be "under a TA". Sorry I know that's not extremely helpful... but if you have a TA maybe they can help? I also emailed Valeria back in my initial panic asking about the whole room reservation thing and how long our wedding time would be "held" before it was given away. I havne't heard back from her yet but will let you know when I do.
