I am working on the STD. I am doing a boarding pass STD and would like to include a letter as well. Anyone have a template that they would be able to share with me. I would like to have a better idea on what to include in the letter. Thanks

I cant see them either.

Thats is so cool!

The mariachi is a 10 piece band for $400. PM me and I can send you there contact info. Maybe FI can call them and give us both a great deal if we tell them that we have someone else who is interested. it doesnt hurt to try.

I bet you could talk them down even lower than $400 depending on how many hours you book them for. Yes, we love the Riu we have stayed with them 4 years in a row and next year will be the 5th. Yeah I cant believe they wanted to charge us $900 per hour either. The manager actually told us if we book them for more hours they will work a deal with us. Its all positive as of now.

Our trip was a blast. We had an incredible time out there and we accomplished alot. Riu Jalisco We stayed at the Riu Jalisco for 8 days 7 nights. It is an absolutely beautiful resort. Although, there rooms are a little on the older side there great service makes up for it. They have great food, entertainment and drinks. Iglesia Senora Reina de la Paz The church is so beautiful that I cant wait to get married there next year. The father is a very nice person. He gave us two booklets. The first one contains all the information needed to have a ceremony there. The second one contains all the prayers and readings that we can chose from. The total cost for the church beginning January 2009 will be $6000 pesos. The price includes the church, officiant fee and decorations. The decorations are white fresh flowers on the aisles and the white coverings on the alter. Riu Vallarta It is an extremely beautiful resort. I have been working with Denise Cano from the Groups Department and she is great. Since we are not having the ceremony in the beach, we cant go with the Riu's wedding packages. So that is why we have been dealing with the groups department. I think that going as a group works out better because there are less restrictions. We are having a private reception in their ballroom. We can have it at whatever time we want for as long as we want and whatever menu we like. We are going to do it from 7 to 12 and if we want it for a longer time it is fine because it is indoors and will not bother other guests in the hotel. Originally, we were told that we can only have the mexican buffet if we did the reception on the beach but after talking to them and telling them what we want they agreed to let us have the mexican buffet. I know that many resorts do not allow outside vendors and if they do, you need to purchase a day pass. Well, at the Riu when its a group event you can hire outside vendors and their is no need to purchase day pass. Mariachi I have been working with an event coordinator in PV and she passed down the information for the mariachi. She told us that it would be $900 USD per hour for the mariachi. I told her that it was an outrageous price. Well, we went to El Andariego restaurant in PV to go and hear them. They are amazing. FI spoke to the manager and guess what They quoted us a price of $400 USD per hour!!!! I was so mad and happy at the same time. Its unbelievable how people are out there to try and get you for your money. Im happy though to have gone to see them because we seriously where not going to go because of the price that the coordinator had given us. Alfonso Lepe We met with him and his pictures are amazing. FI and I really liked his work and we are going to go with him. I was trying to upload some pictures but its not letting me. I will keep trying. I know how much everyone loves to see pictures. If any has any questions just let me know.

I am getting married at the Riu Vallarta Oct 2009. I leave tomorrow to go and plan the wedding out. If anyone needs me to find something out for them just let me know.

This is a great idea and I would definately do it but Im getting married in October 2009 and I think it will be to far in advance.

Thank you so much for the information. I will defiantely take that into consideration when I start looking for flight information for my guests.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! You look so beautiful. Thank you so much for posting these pics. I cant wait to see more. Your a Mrs now!!!

Great Review!! I really loved your dress and your bouquet. Your pictures came out really nice and you both look so happy.

No manicure or pedicure ever What have you been waiting for...j/k You will absolutely love it. I would say for you to do it the day before because it is so relaxing and you do not want to be rushed. Just enjoy it. I hope you have a great experience. And you would need about 2 hours.

Wow Celina!!! Im so glad you had a blast. Your BM's and MOH did a great job. Your wedding date is so close now. I cant wait to see your wedding. Im so excited.

I myself feel anxious and I have 1 week left but Im just going for a site visit to PV. If im anxious I can just imagine how you feel. Im sure that everything will be as beautiful as you have envisioned it to be. Best Wishes

Thanks so much for the information.

Yes, ex boyfriend sister got married at Walt Disney World, it was alot of fun and so romantic.

I vote for #2 it looks very pretty on you.

Hey Sylvia I am so sorry that you have to be going through this. It is extremely horrible that many companies are doing this. With the experience that you have I am sure that there is a company out there that will pay you for your knowledge that you hold. I hope the best for you on whatever decision that you and your husband decide to make. Just remember that things happen for a reason. Everything will work out for the better.

Congratulation to the new Mrs.!!!! You both look very happy. Now its time for MEXICO!!

I am so sorry for your loss. It is very understandable for you and FI wanting to cancel the ceremony. Just do what makes you feel better. Lets us know if you need anything.

LOL...at least you are doing something productive. I really hate when that happens though so so sorry.

No sorry I havent gone to it but it looks like so much fun. I can just imagine all the excitement from the speed boat, mule ride to the zip lines. Im sure your family and friends will have a blast.
