Hi Cassondra: Which Riu Palace are you thinking about? There is the new Riu Palace Punta Cana and the Riu Palace Macao. I am getting married at the Riu Palace Macao on July 12/07. I did a ton of research before booking and would love to help answer any of your questions about the Rius. Laura (Ontario, Canada)

Thanks to everyone for such a warm welcome! We have a very small party going down from Canada and Scotland. My sixteen year old daughter will be walking down the aisle with me. Invites/announcements went out a long time ago, all documentation is complete, passports in order, dresses have been bought, I still have to buy a tiara and veil, I bought everything I need to make my "message in a bottle" thanks yous for our guests, we are hiring the photographer down there and we have picked our restaurant for the reception. The video taping prices are a little steep, so we may just do that with our own equipment. I am bringing some of my own reception decorations. We will be hiring the mariachi trio for our reception. I am busy collecting picture samples that I like, to show our photographer. My daughter and I will be going for a makeup trial at Mac's, and a hair trial once I get the tiara and veil. I am a little frightened to have someone do my hair down there, but I think I am going to do it anyways. We are making some cd's of music right now and last minute arrangements, like the shuttle to and from the airport. Most of our decisions get made down there - I am really not stressed in the slightest. BUT, ask me a month from now!lol Even though I have a daughter, this is my first wedding, so I am very excited and extremely grateful for all of the help and suggestions from these forums! Talk to you all soon, Laura (Ontario, Canada)
