Looks like we will be in ROR at the same time...you will be married for 1 day when I arrive When are you leaving?

I had candles in my room when i went to Puerto Rico...but...who knows..great idea though

This is a great post! I have been struggling with questions to ask or most importantly things I really should be asking. I could help you out with this when I return however it appears as if isn't alot of time between our weddings ;-)

This definetly gives me a better idea of how much $$ to budget!

You have me thinking now lol Here is what the Royal Package is for 2008: RIU Royal Wedding Package 2008 includes: * On-site wedding coordinator to help plan the special day * Royal Decoration set up for the ceremony location for 40 people * Bouquet of flowers for the bride and a matching boutonniere for the groom * CD or recorded music during the ceremony * Twelve color photographs along with a special photo album and CD * Reception dinner for the wedding group at one of our specialty restaurants * Wedding cake for up to ten people * Two bottles of sparkling wine * Natural body exfoliation for the bride and groom * Ten percent discount on all spa services for the bride and the groom (restrictions apply) * Complimentary room upgrade subject to availability upon arrival (External Jacuzzi Suites are not included) * Breakfast in bed the morning after the wedding * Surprise gift and fruit basket * Minister/Judge service & wedding certificate are included * Witnesses if required This makes me wonder if the cd price you quoted is for the 50 pics and if the CD I get only has the 12 pictures I get with the album on it lol I'm also assuming that this package is for 1 hour of photo time?!?!?! I will keep those prices in mind and I'll have to ask when I get there I guess....

I might be late...but have a great time!!

We actually could only narrow it down to 108 photos, and Michael put the 108 plus the 10 in the photo album all on the CD for us for the price of 100. Very nice. You can absolutely print the pics yourselves off the CD or take them to Costco, London Drugs, Wal-Mart, etc, and get them to print off of the CD! We've done this many times and the photos are very high quality and turn out great. Thanks a bunch! I like the idea of printing pics from the CD. I dont really want to purchase additional pictures from him but would like more time. I have the Royal Package but it doesn't state how much time he provides. Thanks again!

Congrats! Have a great time & I look forward to your review!

I meant to ask... How much for pictures and how many did you get? I have purchased the Royal Package which gives me 12 pics, cd & photo album. With the CD can we print pics ourselves?!?! Anyone do this?

Hi Ladies Thank you so much for the links! They were definetly useful! Jeff & I have taken a took and we are happy with our decision! I apologize for the late reply I havn't been able to getonline due to work! Thanks agains!

Anyone had any experience using Michael as your photographer? I personally do not have the funds to get a different photographer..I'm trying to keep this simple. So...if you have photos taken by Michael can you give me a review and show some pics perhaps?!?! TIA!

I emailed as well and got the same response as you did from Valeria. I have a few questions about flowers & cakes and didn't want to wait until 2 months prior to the wedding to make certain decisions. I did find some pics here of flowers but nothing on the cakes. Hang in there!

Arriving on a Sunday...wedding on the Wednesday. Keep in mind you have to be in the country for 2 days before they can marry you. The "2" days cannot be your arrival date or a weekend - at least a sunday

I've seen a few pics with brides wearing flip flops/sandals. Anyone have links available?

Congrat! That is a great deal! I'm in Canada..flying from Toronto and I am paying $1800 pp YIKES! Happy Planning!

I am freaking out a bit too! I emailed Valeria about my wedding (November) asking if she could send pics of flowers etc. and I was told I would receive info about 2-3 months prior to the wedding date. I'm not planning on having reception dinners etc. We are going very low budget and simple. I don't even think we will have more than the wedding party (6 ppl) going. You can try emailing the WC and see what she says. I'd be interested to see what she has to tell you. Side Note: I have to stop reading so much on here because I got so overwhelmed I couldn't sleep. I would make a list of suggestions from here and figure out what you want. Then research..IMO Good luck!

Congrats! Good Luck! Most of all have fun!!!

Congratulations! You looked amazing!! Thanks for sharing pics!

How are you packing your dress? Anyone who is already married did you carry it on the plane separate suit case etc. Thanks!

Welcome & Congrats!

You don't know me...I'm pretty new here but wanted to say Congrats! I am excited for you! Have a great time and I look forward to picking your brain when you return and viewing all your beautiful pictures!

So far there are only 6 people going including the 2 of us. I don't mind that it will be small..works for me

Awesome! How did you get a saturday date?

Thanks!
