jmiranda

Thanks for the information...we will be heading to PV next Saturday so hopefully we will get some really nice hot weather. Its nasty rainy cold in Chicago right now so Im ready for some HOT weather.

Very pretty!!! Im trying to finalize my cake decision and I cant decide what to do.

They are really cute...great buy!

I hope you can get everything fix with the hotel and the TA. As for your bridemaids, if they dont want to go looking for a dress then tell them that you are just going to pick the style.

I just had to call all my vendors and informed them of the change. I also had to get all of my guest reservation numbers in order for them to be switched to the right hotel. From the sounds of it not ALL guests originally booked at the Riu Vallarta are being upgraded to the Riu Palace Pacifico. The Riu has actually been really great about this whole change.

Hopefully its not causing you too much stress. The reason for the sudden upgrade is because the Riu Vallarta will be closed for the entire month of October.

Are you serious? Im going to look into this right now.

Dont cancel try to work it out. Take a deep breath and deal with one thing at a time. I know how you are feeling we just had our resort closed on us. So trust me, I know that this is hard to deal with but we have done so much planning already.

We are getting married October 20, 2009 and we planned our wedding on October because the weather is gorgeous. We always try to travel during this time if it rains its for a short perios of time then the sun comes up.

One more night till the big day!!!

Good Luck Ladies!

I love surprises! Where are the pics

You made such a gorgeous bride...you both look so happy together. Thanks for the pics.

What a great story congratulations! You definately can not beat that. Show us come pics!!

Congrats!! Its a gorgeous dress.

Very nice...great job! I remember doing my own.

Have you tired Homegoods?

Thanks for everyone's kind thoughts...Im still waiting to see what the hotel is going to tell me about the wedding reception! Ive been waiting all weekend and nothing yet.

Well as some of you know we have been moved to the Riu Palace Pacifico. Planning begins all over again with 3 weeks away from departure!

Good luck with everything laura I really doubt that they will honor the rates because it is a huge difference. I would settle for guests staying at the Riu Jalisco and just hope that a least they wont charge a day pass for guests to come the day of the wedding. We will see what ends up happening. Quote: Originally Posted by scrouse I just read this, and my heart started racing for you!! I CANNOT believe they didn't notify you a long time ago about the closure. Our wedding is about 2 months away, and I can't imagine having that added stress right now. What happened to the easy-breezy planning of a desintaion wedding?? My fingers are definitely crossed for you! Thank you for the positive outlook. My heart started racing like you would not believe when I heard about the closure.

WOW I love this ending.Im so happy that this turned out for the best.

Even with the upgraded resort I would ask for something to make it worth the hassle. I agree with you. Im sure that they knew about this closure and they decide not to let us know. The ball is on our court so i will definately be asking away for freebies!! My thing that is getting to me is that we had everything planned out for the wedding and now I dont even know where its going to be or whats going to happen. I should find out tomorrow but even though they come back to us with options we are not going to be able to see what we are getting until we get there. FI and I took a site visit trip last year to take a look at our reception options because we did not want any surprises. I guess that didnt go to well. I just hope and pray that everything turns out ok.
