Hello, My name is Karen and I am getting married in a couple of month. I have been reading things about RUI wedding in this site. It's great. I'm so happy I found this site. Anyways, I booked the wedding package last week and I'm still waiting for the confirmation form the hotel. I've decided to go with the $350 package (Judging from the site...most brides are happy with this). I do have alot fo question that need clarification. Before I begin with the question. Just gonna provide alittle info about what I want. Simple wedding is all I want...nothing too fancy. I just want to marry my fiance and start our lives together asap. I will be a small wedding approx 10-12 (us included). It will be just family and close friends. I have not from anyone in the hotel and I'm starting to panick because wedding is just a couple of months away. Couple of questions I have: 1) With a small wedding, where do you recommend I do the dinner?. Is it worth doing the beach party? I think you need to have a minumum number of people before you can do the party. 2) Where and when can we have the first dance? I read alot of people rent DJs but because I have a very small party I'm not sure whether or not its worth doing? 3) Photographers. I got the info for the Riu photographer and he's pricy. I came across bad review on this photographer. So, I'm thinking of hiring someone from outside and just pay the vendors fee. Again, I don't know how I feel about spending that much money but I would like nice pictures. With the small wedding party, to pay that much money is alot? but what can you do??? 4) Hair and Make-up. I've gone to the renovaspa website and they are very expensive? Any suggestions? 5) What about room updates?? I havent read anything about anyone gettign upgraded. 6) Flowers. The package comes with a free bouquet for the bride only? Some brides complaint about having too many color in their bouquest. Can I request the color? What about my bridesmaid? Alot of people do outside florist? any recommendation? These are the only ones I have for now. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Any information would be apprecaited. This is SOOOOOOOOOoo exciting but SOOOOOOOOOOo stressful at the time time!!!!!!! Bitter sweet
