Okay, so ROR does 3 weddings per day right? For conversation sake lets say that all 3 brides go with the free package, how do they accomodate for the receptions and after dinner activities,i.e. drinks, disco, etc? Is it done on a first come first serve basis? Im asking because I was told that all reception reservations and what not would be handled about 2 months out, and that the coordinator would contact me. Should I start booking now for the best selection? My wedding is June 5th.

So what about the other receptions? Are they held in different parts of the Seagrape?

So thats what bumping is...lol!

What is the ballpark figure of airfare costs so far Myda? The highest is from Chicago at $541 and the lowest is ATL at I think $431. Im hoping that the prices drop after the new year.

Wow! Im sure that you all will have something wonderful planned very soon!

Did anyone rent the chair covers? Also do they cover the chairs for the reception as well?

I've been trying to find someone who does a GREAT sew in here and for the life of me, I cant! Girl, I'm still looking for that GREAT stylist! I changed beauticians once I began transitioning as my beautician specialized in short cuts. The girl who did my last sew in was ok, but I wouldnt have her to do another one for me. I am searching though, Ill keep you posted!

Thanks! Im looking for a dress for my TTD session.

Hopefully I can find the right hair so that when it gets wet it waves but can also be straightened. But I dont plan to get it wet until after the ceremony since I dont wear a relaxer. Any hair suggestions ladies?

I think she may be referring to the free reception, do you have an answer for both reception types?

Ooh, thanks! The chair covers arnt a necessity, but they make the space look nicer.

Nobody?

Hey ladies, I have a few questions about ROR, I hope you can help me! 1)When do you get the menu for the reception dinner to print the menu cards? 2) What is the price of chair covers at the Riu? Is it cheaper to bring my own sashes and use their covers, or is the price the same? 3) Who decorates the ceremony site, and then removes your decorations after the ceremony?

Awesome pics ladies thanks! Now I have to make a decision, both locations are beautiful!

Now if you bring your own sashes, whats the cost for the chair covers? Or would you bring both?

Wow, the poll is tied 50/50!

Bachrach has also begun to custom tailor suits, I think that fi plans to have his suit made.

My dress is the La Sposa "Madeira" and I absolutely love it! Are there any other La Sposa brides out there?

Girrrlll!!! You are wearing that dress! You look wonderful and the sweetheart neckline will definetly add to it!

#2 is very pretty!
