Are you kidding...what a brat!! Do you have a lot of the same friends? That is really ridiculous. I would just sort of steer clear of her - obviously this isn't the right thing to do and I'm sure she knows it. At least you've had your plans set for a while - try not to worry & stress out!!
-
Ooh, I'm not sure how much it is but that sounds like a really cute idea. It'll definitely save $$ too!!!

No problem, I remember how crazy I was trying to get all the last minute stuff worked out...Quote:

Yes, I gave Chandlyn cash for the DJ at our meeting and she took care of it.Quote:

I had the private DJ at the plantation and I had to pay Chandlyn cash for this at our meeting.

I'm trying to figure out my timeline for the wedding day, how much time did ya'll spend taking pics after the ceremony? I have allotted for an hour, but after looking at all of your pics I'm thinking that isn't enough time. HELP!
I think we took pictures for about an hour & a half. We did have a lot of family/friends there that wanted to get in them though which made it longer. -
Thanks!! That color really looks good on the beach! I'm glad I went with it!Quote:

I had mine upstairs. We brought the flowers from the ceremony, had shells/tea light candles on every table, & Chandlyn even added turquoise sand. It looked great!! Everyone liked that it was upstairs cuz it really made it feel private.Quote:

No, I don't think it's in poor taste at all. I'm sure they'll be happy with a nice thank you card.
What we did was have a nice 8x10 picture frame personalized with our names, date, etc. & put a picture of us from the wedding. We gave them these after we came back from our trip. There's an option that's reasonably priced & sentimental.

I had a beach ceremony (jamaica though) and it was fine. It was windy & not a problem at all. Also, having it that late in the day, I wouldn't worry at all. We had a few people watching, but from a distance. Don't stress, it's going to be beautiful!!
-
Wow...Those are beautifull. Great Job!!
-
It was the free cake! It would've been plenty for my guests (51) but no one really ate any, too busy dancing... I'm glad I didn't upgrade!Quote:

We had our rehearsal the night before the wedding, with the music too. Then all of my 51 guests went to St. Anne's for dinner & I had the travel mugs & hats set up for everyone at their seats! Chandlyn reserved these tables ahead of time. It was great!!
-
FI had a mic, I didn't. You could hear everything and it was windy!

Bridal Party - "somewhere over the rainbow" tropical version Israele ....
Me & Dad - "Answer" Sara McLaughlin
Walk out - "This is us" (I forgot who sings it) It's cute & upbeat
I also had a CD of songs that played for seating & after the ceremony for pictures & rum punch.
It was great!!
-
We had our dinner/dancing at the plantation & used the DJ at the resort. They were great - you can give requests to Chandlyn at your meeting. They played great songs!!! 150/hr.

Here are a few of my pro pics from Michael. I'll have the other 750+ pics up in a week or so. It took Michael time to edit them all & I just received the CD in the mail. My pictures turned out beautifully and I loved Michael. He was great!!
I hope there are no problems for you future Riu brides that choose not to use him. I wouldn't stress too much since you have the e-mail from the Riu. Try to enjoy the rest of your planning process.

OMG....LOL - That was hilarious!!! I'm speechless!!Quote:

I skipped out on my workout class last night & went for Mexican food (which is my fav!!). Ooh, it was so good!!

Yes, but you can take it off the day of the wedding and get a new one in the morning (your wedding party too).Quote:
