Did you ever find out about the entertainment and RIU MB? I would like this, but I am not getting married until next year. Please let me know if/when you find out and I will do the same. I have a wedding coordinator that I am bringing with so I will ask her too.

Riu Montego Bay (RMB) *Post wedding info and attachments*

Here's mine http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t41560 the wedding coordinators have changed and I think they use palm leaves now instead of the bamboo arch on the beach for the ceremony but other than that I think everything is pretty much the same. Good luck and happy planning! and remember, in the end all that matters is that you are marrying the man of your dreams. your wedding day will be perfect no matter what cause you can't get any better than the turquoise water and white sand beach as a backdrop. I like your last statement alot. I guess I feel panicky about everything because I just want my guests (that are spending a pretty penny) to have the time of their lives too. Sometimes all of this planning stuff just makes me want to elope, lol. Thanks so much and your threads have been particularly helpful. -
Thanks so much for this review. The longer the better and this one has been really helpful

Hello, I noticed that you only rated your Wedding Reception a C. Hind sight being 20/20 what would you have done different if you could do it all over again? -

Thanks, I will take the information from anyone just as long as its reliable ;0) I am still a little bit shakey about RMB because of the airport issue. Is that the reason why so many people talk about the drug dealers on the beach. I am not looking forward to having my mom be approached if you know what I mean. At any rate, who has the best pictures and info for RMB. I have actually been taking notes re: all of you guys this site has been a God send. -

I say we should just continue with wedding, but on a smaller scale. What should be do? My fiance is concerned because we need to put down a deposit on the resort and provide $ for a down payment on the house in the same time frame. The house doesn't need a lot of work, but we do want to work on small cosmetic things, one at a time. Are we taking on too much? Should we wait another year to get married? I did not buy a house, but we are in the process of doing some major home renovations and this has been a real struggle for us. We had to postpone our wedding until Jul 2010 even though we were engaged in Feb. 2009 just to finish everything up. I didn't mind postponing a bit, but I can understand your concern. Ultimately its a very personal decision, but once you make one, you should stick with it. We hit a rocky patch a couple of times when I would spaz out about putting money into the house before we were married, but ultimately, both are very important to me. Would you and FI consider just going to JP for now, having the destination wedding as planned for the future date?

Geralyn's (RIUMBride711) RIU Montego Bay Review *with pics*
kt1011 replied to Geralyn's topic in Destination Wedding Reviews
Quote: Originally Posted by Geralyn I was very adamant about wanting to get married barefoot in the sand...I had flip flops which i wore from the room all the way until i reached the sand and then i kicked them off. It was totally awesome and the sand was not hot at all! HI Geralyn, I apologize if you have already answered this question but, how was the weather there in July. Was the heat unbearable, or were you saved by the ocean breeze. Also, what is the cost per guest to have a reception on the beach that way. I have not been a member long enough to open the attachments on this subject so any assistance you can provide will be helpful. Of course you know I have tons of other questions, if you are up to it, please PM me and may be can chat off line. You truly look beautiful and like you and your family had a wonderful time. -

Quote: Originally Posted by DEH83 I know, it is normally a big no-no in wedding dress shopping to purchase your gown too small. They say it can always be re-sized to fit, but how much can actually be taken in? I am planning on ordering this dress: Caprice - by Maggie Sottero It does not have a corset back, and I am not entirely sure how much will be able to be taken in without it being an issue. I have just started a very aggressive weightloss program with a trainer that I will be doing until my wedding in April. Our goal together is for me to lose at least 30 pounds, and I am fully confident that I will do this. So my question to you wise ladies - should I buy my dress smaller or for my current size? Will it be able to be taken in enough without ruining it? Did anyone else buy their dress too small? Congratulations on your goal to lose, I am sure you will be successfully. My sincerest recommendation to you is to get the dress in your current size. If you lose the 30 lbs, let them take it in. The majority of people who do this, end up sabotaging themselves. Why do you think there are so many two dress brides, lol. But seriously, it creates a lot of unnecessary pressure on you and the last thing you need to think about is whether or not you will lose the weight or if you will lose it in the right areas. What if you no longer like the dress once you do lose the weight and can fit it? I am just against this idea all the way. No matter what you decide, good luck!

Demetrios, Mori Lee and Alfred Angelo...Help me decide?
-
So I have narrowed my dress options down to a Mori Lee option, a Demotrios Bridal Option and a Alfred Angelo option. All of them are strapless with mermaid sillouette and sweetheart neckline.

I hope everyone is having a great time planning thier BDW and hope everyone is well! Iknow im a bit better now that were set up and finalized and booked! Reguards Jennifer Congrats and good luck. I am in the process of booking RMB for a 7/3/2010 wedding. Let's stay in touch through the process, maybe we can share info and stuff. Nora seems nice, but that is the only person I have dealt with thus far. Have you visited the location? I have not, and will not before the wedding :0( so I have to rely heavily on these boards. Good Luck and let me know how things go.

We want to get going on the planning and any feedback you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Thanks everyone! Shelle Welcome. I am sort of new too. Although, I am 99% sure I will stay with Jamaica. What has helped me is doing research research research. For some reason, I find it easiest to search using google...things like Destination Wedding in Cabo, and then look for what comes up from the forum. There are probably tons of pics and reviews on here for you, there were for me. Unfortunately I will not be traveling to my destination before my wedding so this is all I have! Good Luck with everything

There is actually a thread on how to collect points that you should read before trying to start your own thread though cause there are rules....sounds complicated but it really isn't....oh and you're not supposed to ask someone to send you stuff, you're just supposed to wait till you have enough points. hope that helps! Thanks Lilpaisley...Didn't realize this. I hope it won't take too long to rack up some points bec. I really need the info ASAP, too, LMAO. -

kt1011 replied to boscobel's topic in Jamaica Accommodations & Site
Does anyone know if I will be able to have my RIU MB reception in any place other than the Steak House and if so, does anyone have details about it, costs, etc...I am booking for 7/3/10. -
Welcome and Good Luck. I am in the process of booking my wedding at RIU MB but I am secretly having doubts. I understand, totally how you must feel still deciding on a destination. I personally have never been to Jamaica, but my FI and I have decided to try someplace that neither of us have gone. That said, I secretly would prefer Mexico or Dominican Republic. Still not too late. Let me know how your search goes, or if you have questions. I have been doing a lot of research in the process, you never know...I might be able to help!

Hello Everyone, My name is Kay and I am new to the forum and planning a destination wedding in June 2010, so I am a bit early, however I wanted to get the ball rolling. My fiance and I are planning a scouting trip to Jamaica in July to check out RIU MB, Iberostar and Rose Hall. Any suggestions on what to look out for while I am there?
