Ladies, try not to stress over it... You can tell Chandlyn at your meeting you do not need photography and run by the photo office and tell them you do not need their services. Everything will be fine - just enjoy yourself!!

I wanna do it!!! It is $80/person and you book thru your tour company like apple, travel impressions, liberty, etc... They have tables set up in the lobby. Yes, you are harnessed to a rope and you fly thru the jungle - super cool!

Quote: Originally Posted by hollisandsteph I herd that the canopy excursion took like 6-7 hour total. Is that true? We wanted to do that but not sure we want to do something that takes up soo much of one day! (sorry forgot to add this in my other comment:-)) We had to be in the lobby at 8:30 for a 8:45 pickup. I think we returned to the hotel by 12:30 or 1:00. Then we had the rest of the day to lounge by the pool/ocean. If you have time, definitely do it!!!

Quote: Originally Posted by twelve_piece BEAUTIFUL!!! Thanks for sharing! Would you recommend the canopy tour excursion? Thanks!! Yes, I absolutely recommend the canopy/zipline tour. It's awesome!!

Thanks again everyone. For all you future ROR brides, try not to stress so much, it will be amazing!!

Congrats & Enjoy every moment!! I'm so jealous - I want to go back!!!!

Thank you all so much!! It really was such a happy day!! When I have the other "hundreds" of professional pics up I'll let you all know!!

How much did you pay for the arch decor? Did you bring your own or did the hotel supply it.I'm not sure how much the flower arrangements were. There was so much going on that I forgot what Chandlyn said & I didn't get an itemized list. I brought my own songs on CD for the ceremony that i gave to the wc at our meeting. Did you use Michael for photography and the DVD? Did you tell you guys how to pose? Yes, i used Michael for photograpy & I hired the videographer thru the photoshop. Yes, he told us ways to pose & suggested we do what we wanted too. Did the resort salon do your hair? They did a great job! Thanks! Actually my friend who is a hair stylist did all of the girls hair. She also did my makeup. I was really happy with how it turned out! Where did you get your Cala Lily bouquet and how much? I used the floral shop thru the resort. I can't remember how much it was though, sorry... Did you upgrade your cake, and if so, how much was it? No, that was the standard cake, it was more than enough!! I think that you had the 4:00 ceremony, right? Yes. Did you notice around what time the sun begins to set?I think around 6 - 6:30 during that time of year. I would like to use tiki torches for my ceremony, but it still may be too bright out. Do you know if the resort rents out Tiki torches? I'm not sure. Any pics of your reception? I'm dying to see!! Yes, I put the address on here and there are still more pro pics to come. I'll post again when I have everything up. Okay, i'm gonna stop being nosey now and thank you for sharing your pics!! I WANNA SEE MORE.......lol No problem!!

Quote: Originally Posted by md_ocr Chicago, did you rent the disco too, or you extended your reception time at the plantation? I rented the Plantation from 6:30-10:30 (I think we were actually there till closer to 11) then some of us went to the disco.

We really didn't have an introducion either. We walked up to the Plantation with all our other guests and the DJ already had music playing. I know he called us up for our first dance and said the song we were dancing too though. We also did the garter toss and bouquet toss at the plantation.

I don't think so. Where is your reception - Plantation?

It starts to get crowded later at night after dinner. It is so big though I really would not worry about having enough room.

I can't believe that's your BM...That's so funny. I'm sure we ran passed each other and didn't even notice with all we had going on!!

Quote: Originally Posted by drbrainfreeze Thanks so much for sharing. You looked beautiful!! Was your cake the "free" cake? How was it? Yes, that was the free cake. It was really nice. I'm glad I didn't upgrade cuz it was barely touched. Thanks for all the kind words - we really did have a blast!!

Dunn's River bar actually opens at 5 until midnight. It's a big square bar and there are many tables/chairs that span out in front of it. It is directly across from the stage where they perform all the shows. It's definitely a hot spot around 7 or 8 at night when the show starts!!

I am so sad that mine is over - I want to go back!!!

I actually have about 750 pictures coming on CD. The photog did not have time to edit all these before we left. Here is another link to photo's from my camera - not pro pics but you can see a lot of the resort, etc... Snapfish: Share:Registration

Snapfish: Share:Registration Snapfish: Share:Registration Maybe this will work!!!

Ok-here it goes.... Snapfish: Share:Registration Snapfish: Share:Registration I really hope this works!!!!!!! There are more professional ones to come!!

Nobody can see them I'm sorry, I'll try again...

Ok, I know a lot of you have been bugging me to post my wedding pics already and they are on the wedding review page titled "Back from ROR wedding-awesome!!". At least I hope they came out - someone please let me know. I even managed to post a new sig picture - that's really amazing for me!! I don't why I have so many problems posting pics?? I just realized this post is kind of a tease... sorry!!
