Alison, I do not know if the resort has scripts available. However, I read so many reviews and comments from brides who left it up to the minister, and were not happy because the ceremony did not reflect their personal beliefs or style, that I decided not to leave it to chance and just write our own. It didn't take long, because there were so many great ceremonies posted on this board to pick and choose from. We are still tweaking ours, but it's 99% complete. Good luck!

I am going to order mine asap because the girls said that the place that makes them has quit making them. Hope this helps out!

We ordered ours from amazon 2 weeks ago and the estimated ship date is may 3-5 so don't wait on this if you're going this route.

Wow! My wedding isn't till Oct but if a brides needs it soon, they need to get on it asap! Do you know the exact directions for putting it together so the sand won't leak? Please let me know how yours goes! I would love to see pics and see how you did it! Thanks!
P.s. I'm excited for our cups to come in!

To all of you who used or are using your own photographer....Did you pay for your photographers travel, if so did you receive a discount for services? If you did pay for travel when did you fly them in and out? Thanks!

I like that one boo but I wonder how you can get it back with the sand.

There were directions posted but now the link doesn't work. I read others' comments that it makes more sense when it's in front of you so I'll take pics and do a tutorial when it comes in!

I just started looking for these after seeing your post and they're really affordable!! What dimensions did you go with?

I am paying for my photographers flight and room. She will be there for 4 days. I was going to do it for 3 but decided to just have her there the whole time everyone else was going to be there.

She has done all of my engagement pics, boudiour pics coming up this weekend, and all photos needed at the resort. I decided I would get more picture with her coming then from the resort. She will be with us the whole time so it worked out for us better.
