For trial I am going to try the same thing and sneak him in through the WC. But if that fails at least I'm only paying the fee once for them not for 2 days, that would be ridiculous!

Hello ladies- I am getting married at the Royal PDC November 19, 2010. My invitations just went out this week! Now my next big task to tackle is wedding rings and finding our birth certificates (hopefully we won't need to obtain new copies). My ring is already picked out just need to order it but FI can't make up his mind. Jesmcan - I'm torn with the same hair dilemma! I prefer my hair down or half up/half down but I'm leaning towards at updo for the same reasons as you. I am also using Fernando and he is coming the day before the wedding to do a trial run. However, I'm thinking of going to my local salon and exploring some options before I get to Mexico this way I can show Fernando pics of what I want.

As usual with the Royal...you can't upgrade your bouquet and pay the difference. At least that's what I was told. However, my WC did tell me that I can give the bouquet included in the luxury package to a bridesmaid.

Hello wedding twin I already have hired him. He is bringing a hair person but I don't know who he or she is. I've seen pictures on here of other girls hair that his colleague did and they all looked beautiful. I'm having him and the hair person come to my hotel the day before my wedding to do a trial so that there are no surprises the day of. Agreed, it is stressful to wait till the last minute to see what kind of work they do in person but I am trying to remain optimistic. Good luck!

3 mile run before work this morning. i love when the sun is up at 5:30 am, great way to start the day

They could always go to the resort's beauty salon to get their hair and makeup done but I would really like for them to get ready with me. We would just all have a good time if we were all together! I also have 3 bridesmaids and am using Fernando. I originally wanted to pay for both hair and make up but ending up deciding just to pay for their hair. As you said the cost would be $1000 + If they want to get their make up done they have the option to do it if they want to but they will have to pay for it.
