It opened for me... I just finished the review and it didn't sound that bad to me. Bad customer service is always a kill joy but overall, sounds like you had a good time. Thanks for the excursion tips. Question: Did you get the day tour for 50 bucks total or pp?

Thanks Carly! Melissa, ygm! There is a reserve for the dress on Ebay but Im willing to take the best offer.

Dress for sale! After purchasing my dress and then deciding on a smaller wedding, I've decided to change dresses, so I've decided to sell this dress. Its the La Sposa(div of Pronovias) Madeira in ivory, size 14(street size 8-10), brand new with tags and no alterations! NEVER BEEN WORN!!! Ive listed the dress and it can be found here. Please pm me with any questions! Pronovias La Sposa Madeira Size 14 Ivory - eBay (item 180323717326 end time Jan-30-09 20:11:03 PST)

Bump bump bump!!! Has anyone found any mini rum bottles?

Thanks Steph, do you have any pricing information or pictures of her work? You can pm me the information.

Wonderful review, thanks! Pics lady! Pics!!

Thank you so much! I definetly plan to use the pond gazebo for our ceremony. My stilettos wont work in the sand!

Really good post! Has anyone done the later and got married stateside? We are still considering that option.

I guess it would depend on the resort, but definetly check with your WC. Another option would be to pick a package that doesnt include photo services.

After checking her blog for a few months, I changed my mind about her style and began to rethink my decision. Her prices are reasonable and her blog shows her creativity. I take back my previous post!!!!

Wow! I think they look great, what dont you like?

Also check out Stacey Clarke. Destination Wedding Photography I think thats it :.)

Finally a response and an apology! Persisitance pays off! She asked for more details about the wedding and cake idea but didnt quote me a price...I'll keep you updated :.)

What a wonderful thing you did to make sure that the bride would have some flowers. I would definetly follow up with the shipping agent to have the issue resolved.

Well, it would be in bad taste to invite some i.e. a specific aunt but not another for whatever reason. My mother had me send out obligatory invitations to some family members that we knew were not coming, but sent them as a courtesy. I say send the invites and then your part is done. Just make sure not to do any follow up :.)

I looked into this resort for our honeymoon and while the prices were reasonable, the all inclusive was $350 a day per couple. The room rate was only 249. Really nice resort, but way out of my budget.

Where is the wedding?

I also agree, I plan to use silks so that I wont have that issue. Im ordering my flowers from this site. Lifelike Silk Wedding Flowers: Artificial Bridal Floral Arrangements Of Top Quality

What times do they have the weddings at the Riu?

Perfect! Thanks!

So what should we do in the meantime?? Our ROR wedding is at noon and dinner at Mammee Bay isnt until 6:30. What did you do with your guests in between? Thanks for any ideas!

We did both! Our e pic photog gave us 100 free prints so I used those pictures and attached them to magnet sheets I found at Office Depot. I also got the invite kits there and used them as save the dates. Heres a few pics of my hard work :.) The magnets were just included in with the card, no glue dots.

Thanks for the info ladies! Does ROR schedule pickup from the airport for their guests? Like a shuttle?

I also booked an outside photographer since pics are extremely important.
