To you Canadian brides, you can't start the process with the handwritten one we were sent home with? That was going to be my intent, have any of you tried it?

dont worry about feeling stupid, i had to ask my TA the same question. What she instructed me to do is look in the yellow pages or canada411.com for Notary Public. Like it was already stated; most lawyers do it but not all so if you plan to use your lawyer you may want to double check. We ended up getting a lawyer/cousin to do it and she did it for free. My TA also looked after the courier to get it down to the ROR so that was one thing that was actual at no cost to us!

Thank you very much Mo and Heidi, that helps me out alot, and kicks me into gear to create mine!

Although not one of us, myself included, want it to rain on our wedding days it is considered a good omen for the marriage

LOL! I just went in and paid the balance of our trip today too! I was so excited I wanted to post a new thread but I didn't want the mods to get upset with me, so now they can get upset with you hahahah

I don't plan on renting out the Plantation, we don't have a large enough group to really warrant that so we're most likely going to go with Mamee Bay.

My dad and my sister both have really nice cameras and to be totally honest I was not impressed with the sample pics I received from Michael. I'm going with the free wedding package and I am not booking Michael for anything, nor am I paying him for anything either. From what I've read around the forum he can be pretty pushy but legally he doesn't have a leg to stand on, he can't force you to book him if you don't want him and he definetly can't make you pay for services that you don't request or want.

Congratulations!! Would love to hear all about it and see as many pics as possible! I have a couple questions

1. How was Chandlyn? Was she very responsive to your needs and questions?

2. What wedding package did you go with and did you end up getting a lot of extras?

3. Did you use the resort photographer? If not did he cause any issues?

4. Did you get a free room upgrade?

Thanks in advance! I'm really glad to read you had a good time! Just makes me more excited for april!

Phew, thanks feeling better!

Phew, thanks feeling better!

Phew, thanks feeling better!

Great thanks everyone. It seems my lawyer was thinking of another country, I've done a bunch of researching and my FH called Vitatl Stats as well and they said that notarized copies of the birth certificates and passports are all we require.

I was wondering what are the required documents for the ceremony, I've received a different list from the wedding sales coordinator and my TA, both of which had only two documents that pertained to us: certified copies of our passports and birth certificates. But today when we were at our lawyer's getting them notarized she mentioned she had to do an affidavit for another couple stating their addresses and work info and that kinda stuff. Neither my TA or the wedding sales coordinator made mention of this document, any of you know what that is? I'm still worried about getting down there and the people refusing to marry us!

Thats my plan, I didn't feel the difference in price between the free package and the upgraded one was worth it. I'm going to pay extra for the things that are most important to me and it doesnt work out to be as much as the upgrade.

Looks like we'll be there at the same time My date is the 8th.

Thats an excellent idea, I was thinking of making up some beach bags as favors but I need to do them economically!

Thank you all very much! My FH and I have been out tying up a lot of loose ends today, we got our rings, his outfit and all kinds of fun wedding stuff today so between that and all your reassuring words I'm already feeling a lot better. I have my list of questions ready for Chandlyn so I'm off to email her right now

Well, I didn't think I had a lot left but as I keep thinking things keep piling up. I have this weekend off so I'm hoping to get a lot out of the way this weekend, most importantly, my FH's attire and our rings. My BM hasn't been super cooperative but we still have to get her dress too. I also would like to figure out some favors but the budget's getting tighter and tighter...

Great thanks, I'll give that a try.

Thanks! At least it's not just me!

Thanks everyone! This forum will be a TREMENDOUS help to me I'm sure!

Beautiful dress! I would love to see the rest of it!

Hi folks, I'm a new ROR bride to be and I'm starting to get major tummy butterflies. I've been reading through all these threads for the last two days and am finding myself worrying about things I never even thought of! The biggest thing I'm worried about is that I've made no contact (personally) with Chandlyn or anyone else at the resort itself. My wedding is April 8 and I've tried emailing Chandlyn but can't seem to get the correct email adress for her no matter how many different ones I try!. My TA has made all the arrangements thus far but I guess my question to all of you is should I be in contact with Chandlyn at this stage of the game or try to convince myself that it will all work out. I have this fear that we're going to get to the ROR and they're gonna be like "what wedding?" this is completely irrational right? The last email I got back from someone with the RIU was the wedding sales consultant that informed me Chandlyn would contact me when we got one or two months before the wedding, is this normal? AGHHHHHHH freaking out a lil!

Hi folks! My name is Angeline and my finace and I are getting hitched at the RIU Ocho Rios in Jamaica on April 8 2008! It's coming fast! I joined the forum because I was doing some online searching and the forum had the answers to most of my questions, specifically those about the ROR. So I'm pretty psyched to join in on the conversations!
