Shelk, i have just sent you a private msg with my email :-) Thank you. Ive babbled abit in the message sorry!!! Slightly fed up of weather but wishin it would snow me in like it is everyone else... Haha :-)

Thanks for the welcomes guys :-) x

Shelk, Thank you for your reply :-) Thats a relief about it being legal, i was starting to worry about that part!!! And for the blood test i am glad about that as we didnt really know what to expect as the travel agent cant realy tell us much?? a short walk is fine, i was thinking we were going to have to find a hospital etc and was a bit worried. Do you know how long it takes for the results as it ust be quick? Also if you dont mind me asking as im only 27 pages into the thread now and have found lots of useful info but just 4 questions i have if thats ok, i will probably come across them in the thread at some point but im impatient!!! haha, 1.) Are photos and photogropher included in your wedding package? if not do you know how much it is for this? there is no mention of photos being in the wedding package on the riu site nor in information our tour operator gave. 2.) How much is the hairdresser/ Make up or is that included in package? 3.) Can you get married on the beach or is it just held in the gazebo? 4.) Out of intrest Who did you book it through? And yes this site is fab :-) Thanks Nic x

Hi quick message as i am trying to work through this thread and up to now im on page 12 so i think its going to take me a wee while longer to get through to the end.... one quick question, im sure i will eventually come to the answer but anyway here goes... How much is the on site photographer? and Hairdreser? Also can you get married on the beach as well as the gazebo etc as we really really want to get married on the beach. Thanks alot Nic x x

Thank you i will have a look now x

Hi, Cant really help you loads with your questions but thought id drop by and say hello to a fellow May 2011 bride..... Were looking at the Riu Palace Riviera Maya, Which allows children and beach dosent seem to be seaweedy as im fussy about the sea and that is something i always look for they seem to have a few sandwhales but i think i can cope with these..... Anyway congrats on the engagement :-) And hope you fnd somewhere soon Nicola x

Hi Everyone, My name is Nicola and Im new to this forum it was recommended to me from someone on Tripadvisor after i posted a new thread. So here goes. This was my post and i was just wondering if anyone could possibly help me out with a few things? Hi We have been looking for a while now at getting married abroad, First off we started with Mexico, then we wanted Jamaica, then we moved on to Aruba and low and behold were back at Mexico...... So confusing but we really want to get it right. We have been looking at Mexico and both really really like the Riu Palace Riviera Maya, I think this one may just be the one as we both feel the same with this one on all aspects rather just agreeing on a few things we like etc. Anyway I just have a few questions. 1. Has anyone (reading this) been married here or been to a wedding here? 2. I have read we would need to take blood tests so a) How much is this? Where do you get this done? c) Do you have to arrange all this or do the wedding team help? 3. Can you get married on the beach aswell as the gazebo on the grounds? 4. Is the wedding legal when you get back to the U.K? 5. Has anyone exerienced any hidden costs? 6. How much is the photographer to book? 7. How much is the Hairdresser etc? I know most of these questions can be answered by travel agents but I would love to hear of 1st hand experience please, These forums have been so so helpful with past questions about weddings etc and even given me info travel agents didnt know so we really are greatful for any answers given. Finally can you offer any advise? Or can you maybe just let me know anything which you may find useful? Thank You So So Much Nic How are everyones wedding planning coming along? Where are you getting married and when? :-)

Hello everyone, My name is Nicola, what a fantastic site :-) Hopefully our wedding will be May 2011, no confirmed date yet as May '11 prices aren't available for booking until May this year!!!! So I will confirm this when we have booked :-) We are going to be getting married at Riu Palace Riviera Maya hopefully. At the moment we are in the middle of finding thngs out from the travel agent... Cant wait to get things booked so it will feel more real :-) Look forward to seeing peoples progress and hopefully being able to contribute now and again even if its before conformation of wedding booking Nicola x
