We were looking nto this but it just worked too expensive for us so we are staying at the RIU the whole time, we will get married in our 1st week and have the 2nd as our honeymoon, hopefully get to go away for a week or so at end of year just the 2 of us....

Yes it is end of Sept, beginin Oct when the prices come out someone was asking in the TA when i was in last week and i over heard :-) Trust me time will fly by.... I remember the wait.... felt like forever.... but weve been booked 3 weeks now... Woot Woot!!! Your time will be here before you know it xox

We are staying at the same hotel for the 2nd week as we dont get married until the 2nd week. As we have to be there 5 working days before we can marry excluding our arrival date and we arrive on a Friday. So we get married 10 days after arriving; just enough time to build up a tan and not have to worry about the wedding. I should be ultra chilled!!!! We will probably have a honeymoon in about May / June time - money pending - i think this will be a city break somewhere or a last minute get away.

HELLO UK BRIDES!! *Waves*

 

it's exciting to hear from people from the UK who are also doing the long haul route!

 

Weve booked the Moon Palace for our wedding, which is in just over 2 months time! wahooo!

 

We booked with Thisistravel (who are now teletext holidays) and got a good price, but we didn't do a 'group' booking, which i regret as we would of got so many freebies if we had.

 

we fly out on the 25th July and get married on Friday 30th.

 

We have 35 people (including us) coming

 

I have got most things sorted now. i am slightly concerned about how to transport a lot of the stuff over there, but im sure we'll be fine!

 

i can't WAIT!!!

Hey woodsylou - welcome along and wooo hooo you are only 2 months away - how exciting.

 

My main concern is also getting everything over as originally i had nothing to take - then i joined this forum and it put loads of ideas in my head! Think i will need another suitcase.

 

We have 18 travelling and did a group booking and we got quite a few freebies, discounts - but its a pain to be in charge of the money side of things - though we havent had any problems yet - and long may it remain that way! :-) x

We will stay in the same hotel. Just easier for us with kids etc coming. Plus we love our hotel and prob wont want to leave, lol!

 

Woodsylou - God not long now! Good luck! My friend is booking the Moon Palace for her wedding next yr! Very nice )

wow, your dress is amazing!! how gorgeous! do you have a veil? have you got your shoes yet? how fabulous! love the BM's dresses too! so so pretty!

where did you get your H2B's suit and shirt? is he wearing the jacket too? i found dressing the boys harder than the girls!!!

I'm wearing this dress, but in Lemon (I'm not a conventional bride! clearly!)



with this veil (but in lemon to match the dress)



my BM is wearing this dress (in navy)



my flower girls are wearing this dress (in white)



my pageboy is wearing a little navy suit (he's soooooooooo cute!!)

my H2B is weaing a navy suit and a white shirt

my dad, H2B's dad and our best man are wearing the suit trousers with short sleeved white shirts

our theme is lemon and navy (although my H2B doesn't know that, because he has no idea what colour my dress is!)

I absolutely love the style of your dress its gorgeous - i toyed with the idea of a different coloured dress until FI mentioned - i dont really care what you wear as long as its white - lol - so that told me!! He hasnt had any say in anything else though :-) x
With regards to what the men are wearing we are going along the linen suit route with white shirt and blue tie - but i expect this will be a last minute thing as they are proving quite difficult!
We have gone for turquoise and gold - as there are only 18 of us going we have asked everyone to dress in these colours.

My dress - which will be here one day next week - whoop whoop

I have a tiara to match the waist band of the dress - as i know a veil would annoy me.


BM dress and flip flops (we have 2 adult BMs)



I am getting there slowly......
