Hey, NSbride2010 -- sorry don't know your RL name So Cormier got the rest of the season and playoffs, but more importantly; how is your friend doing? Any good news?

I'm a couple days late, but better late than never. Happy Wedding Day!! Congrats and hoping your day was amazing!

Wow! I love love love your BM's dresses! Awesome choice in colours too!

I like the blue and green together as well. It looks a bit more lively!

Welcome and Congrats! I love Jamaica! Happy planning!

LOL That rocks! Great idea!

Ugh! Your story makes me feel sick to my stomach. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this! It's never easy, but you're a NEWLYWED. How horrible!! Why do guys pull this kind of shit?? It's completely inappropriate and totally unacceptable. You're married! I can't believe that he would have thought that kind of conduct would be okay. Stick to your guns and go with your gut. I agree with previous posts -- he's in the wrong -- don't let him make you feel guilty for his infidelity. He should be so lucky to be married to you and should be on his hands and knees begging forgivness. I have zero tolerance for that kind of bs. I wish you the best. Stay strong!

I've never stayed at a Sandal's but my BM's Mom has been a travel agent for a million years. My BM has been on a few trips to various AI's in the Caribbean with her TA Mom and said that Sandal's was by far and away the best resort she's stayed at. From all the reviews and TA's suggestions, comparison's -- I'd gladly pay $5000 to stay at a Sandal's. I'm sad I don't have an extra $5000 so I can go this year!

I got super casual jewellery, because I'm not very fancy or very blingy. My BM wore the exact same stuff. Etsy.com rules. My earrings My necklace BM's earrings BM's necklace I thought they were cute and suited my wedding perfect!

Nice! I had blue gerbera's in my bouquet, too - I love them!

Those are great! Love the colours!

Yay! Happy 1st Ang and Amanda! Haven't seen Christene here since you guys got married. Could be wrong though! Hope you ladies all had fabulous days!

Cormier was a dirt bag at the WJC too. Why Hockey Canada didn't give Eberle the "C" is beyond comprehension. Anywho, yeah I saw that video on TSN - ugly, ugly hit. Cormier should get the rest of the season and playoffs at very least. Unfortunately, it probably wont hinder his career in the NHL. *cough* Todd Bertuzzi *cough* I hope your friend gets better quickly, I'm pretty sure the country is pulling for him.

Your FI's got it right. F**k it. It's your day, your wedding, your life. Pick the day/month that the 2 of you want as a wedding anniversary, not some day in August because FSIL can't get vac time in November. Stop trying to make everyone happy, because it will never happen. People will piss and moan about anything and everything. I suppose you'll have to decide if making yourselves happy is a priority.

My first and his first.

Mine has to come off all the time. Sleep, shower, work, hockey, karate and kickboxing. Can't punch people with a rock on your hand regardless of gloves

Amazing stuff. Great job on all of it! Congrats on your big day next weekend. Have an amazing time!

Congrats! Great review! Your resort is gorgeous. Can't believe the onlookers - holy crap! We had none! Congrats again on being a Mrs.

I only received menu's for the Steakhouse, Japanese and Italian restaurants so I've included those, as well as some of the info I received from the Riu corporate offices after I booked my date. Again, keep in mind that they sent me 2008 info, so some things have changed. If you aren't sure about something contact RPTB's WC. Enjoy!

I'm trying to re-format my compy and I came across some of the docs I received from both the RIU head office and the WC at RPTB. Keep in mind they are priced for 2009, so prices have likely gone up. I though these may be helpful for some. The wedding location pictures were sent to me by the RPTB WC -- She didn't specify which package was used for decorations. I would assume Royal or Caprice, because I had the Free package and our decorations/flowers for our arch weren't that elaborate. The pictures of the 3 restaurants are the Buffet, Italian and Fusion. Not sure why there weren't pictures of the Steakhouse, because I would imagine most couples have their receptions there. The Steakhouse is open to air and overlooks the pool. There are some pics in my review -- link is in my siggy Hope this helps some! Happy planning!

A bit pricey maybe, but they are based in Canada so at least the shipping costs are under control and there is no duty. I got my parasols from weddingfavours.ca and they were great! The store is actually located in my stupid little town, around the corner from my house. Didn't even have to pay for shipping, just picked 'em up at the store!

This is what I copied/pasted from the docs the RIU sent me in 2008, so they are a bit outdated, but still somewhat helpful: B.

Welcome and Congrats! We got married at RPTB in April, which is right next door to Couples Negril. The beach is AMAZING! Couples Negril looked pretty killer, too. Happy planning!
