I was there in Feb in the Junior Deluxe suites. They use keycards for the rooms. I forget about the safe because my brother always took care of it.

That's beautiful. Great job!

I can't wait!!! I'm getting excited now, and it's still only a year away. I can't imagine how you guys must feel with only a few months to go!

Wow, it's actually less than I thought. Maybe I will have to check it out as well. I just find it really hard right now because there are no prices for 2010 yet! Hopefully the prices will go down by then! lol

Love the video and pics!

Wow, that's a great dress. It looks great on you! Love the BM dresses as well.

Thanks for the input. It is more expensive than Riu Negril though right?

Your pictures are amazing! Love the colors!

Thanks for the tips, good reading.

What a great idea!

those are great! I LOVE the boarding pass invites/STD!!

those are way too cute!!

but the bahama mamas, pina colodas and other frosty drinks are great!

I only saw Red Stripe as well.

It does but I'm not a big fan of the beach. It looks WAY too close to the actual hotel. Maybe too close to the airport as well. I don't want to be hearing the planes flying around all day. Maybe you can't hear them, I'm not too sure.

Thanks!! I'll have to check out that. Happy Holidays everyone!

I love the cake toppers! Very cute. The first sets from the first seller are the best. I like the fact that they don't have faces because sometimes I find that faces look funny. These are awesome! I don't like the set from the second seller at all. BachataBride - Where did you get those? Those ARE GREAT!!!

I can't wait for your pictures either pearlygirl! So hurry up and get back! (jk) I'll have to check out tripadvisor - great idea! Thanks!

That's awesome that he wants to do that. I would definitely make sure though to drop some strong hints or show him colors that you want. My FI thinks dressing up is wearing ugly jeans and a t-shirt so I would NEVER let him do that! lol He's getting better though, since I've taken away his ugly clothes and replaced them with new ones! lol

Wow, thank you so much for all the information. I can't see all the docs yet, I guess I'll have to do more posting! lol Anyway, I never considered the fact that even though the resort may be cheaper and have to pay for a wedding, that it will still be cheaper than a more expensive resort. So thank you for that, I will have to keep that in mind. I find it hard to figure out pricing and that sort of thing right now because I look online for prices and all I get are the last minute deals, which obviously are cheaper. We haven't gone to see our travel agent yet (same one that my whole fam uses). We are planning on doing this after the holidays. Since the wedding is a year away, I'm not sure how much she can help us though. Another silly question. How long in advance do I have to book the wedding at the resort? We're planning on going January 2010, so it's only a year. I guess I'm not sure of these things yet! lol Glad to hear that all went well with the passports/birth certificates. It makes me feel better knowing that someone has successfully done this! lol Anyway, thanks again for all your help, I'm sure I'll have more questions along the way!

ROR would be great except for the fact that I was just there for my cousins wedding in February. A lot of the same people will be coming, so I wanted to try a different resort.

Thanks DanielleNDerek! I spend so much time reading things that sometimes I lose track of where everything is! lol

Ahh ok. That's a good idea. Thanks for the ideas. For us, we have too many "older" people that don't have computers! lol We actually made our STD invites last night and they look great. We also did the web-site thing and the families are going nuts over it!

I thought that I saw the that Grand Pineapple Beach resort was a 3 star? My fam won't go for that because they've had bad experiences with cheaper resorts. Maybe I'm wrong though, I'll have to check again. Here's my problem. I really want to go to Riu Negril, but it doesn't have the free wedding package whereas Riu Tropical Bay does. RTB is more expensive though, so maybe it evens out in the end. I thought that I read somewhere on here (don't ask me where because I've been reading for days now lol) that RTB does not have a beauty salon. So if you want to get your hair/makeup done, you have to go to Riu Negril. Did anyone else see this? Pearlygirl - what kind of information have you gotten from the resort?? I think this is where we'll be going, so any information that you may have would be great!! I hope that you post lots of pics!
