My fiacne really wants to wait to see me till right down the isle and do the pics afterwards- but will it be too dark??

Brit11898-

Are you staying at the Yucatan as well?? We aregetting married the day before you! That's neat! How is planning going?

[brit11898]

Kara and Ryan-

yeah we are getting there tuesday- staying till sunday then honeymooning at the barcelo palace till thursday. What about you??

That is so exciting! Plans are going pretty well- just kinda waiting for it to get closer so I can start doing more things. Are you bringing a lot of decorations or place settings along with you? Who are you having for your photographer?

[Kara&Ryan]

Brit-

I am going to bring some decorations... centerpieces, napkins, etc.... not place settings though. I am still undecided on a photographer. Whenever I contact RIU they tell me that I am not allowed any outside vendors.... but I have seen other RIU brides that have.... so I am a bit confused. What about you?? Have you run into any problems??

Kara-

I am still undecided on decorations. But as for the photos- I hired Paul/Rachel Schrank of Playaweddings. Basicall I have to book them one night stay so they are considered "guests" of my wedding- that is the loop hole.

Britt-

Oh, okay. Thanks for the info. I will look into it now!

Hey-

I am wondering about packages and extras...

We picked the Royal package- what did you guys pick.

Did you get the girls and guys flowers? What other extras did you pick?

Also- Katrina- what did they serve for food- appetizers/entree and dessert- are there any other options besides cake??

katrina- great review. your hotel looked great & everything was set up so nice! i think you took great pictures! the riu is such a nice hotel, i stayed there once.

 

i love that both your parents walked you down!! i remember your mom always being so funny, well both of them were really.
