Mine is still in the works, but here's the link... Welcome - The Knot: Wedding Web Page Builder I still plan on adding more pages with details of the reception, welcome get together, etc, and I think I'm also going to do a page introducing the MOH and BM. I'll probably come up with more ideas as I continue planning, but this is what I have for now

I'm getting married at the Majestic Elegance at the beginning of December 09 and it is costing $1790, taxes included for a standard double occupancy room. We're flying from Montreal. Our budget was initially $1500 taxes included as we didn't want our guests to have to shell out a fortune. After doing a LOT of research and comparing resorts, we decided that it is worth the extra few hundred dollars to go to the place that we want, and we've accepted that some people may not come due to the price. I almost went crazy trying to accomodate everyone's wishes, and for a while I lost sight of the fact that it is our wedding, and not anyone else's. This is our first time travelling down south, and we don't want to be disappointed. We also don't want to go somewhere else in 2010, 11, etc, and regret our DW location choice. Initially we were going to get married in January 2010, but when the quotes came back over $2000, we changed our date to the beginning of December (5th-12th). Hurricane season is at its end at that time, and it's before the prices increase for the xmas holidays. Good Luck!

I feel your frustration! It took me 6 months to decide on a location and I changed my mind only about 500 times! But when I finally signed on the dotted line at my travel agency, it was the best feeling in the world! And now, instead of driving myself crazy with travel books, I'm finally able to plan the fun stuff! We're getting married at the Majestic Elegance Resort in Punta Cana, but definitely the RIU palace was a very close second. It came down to budget for us and the Elegance was more economical. One of my coworkers was married at the RIU palace, and has only fabulous things to say about it. The nice thing about the RIU is that I think your guests could stay at one of the other RIU resorts near the palace (like the Bambu), if they want to save money. Good luck!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!
