Sandra,
Fellow BC'er! Congrats on your upcoming wedding. Maui is a beautiful location for your DW. We will be there again in March 2009 and are looking forward to enjoying a few days of vacation while we are there. We have not had any exposure to the Ritz yet, but know that the area will make for a beautiful backdrop. Then again, so will Kapalua beach.
Not sure if you've thought about photography yet, but you may want to consider bringing a photographer along with you. Having a photographer that you've had a chance to meet and know their style adds a bit of a personal touch to it and relaxes you knowing you'll get the photography style you've always dreamed of.
Best of luck with the planning!
