Hey Kristin, just wanted to welcome you to the forums! and congratulations!!!

whoo hooo. Welcome to the Forums! and congratulations!! Do you have any hotels in mind??

Looks like you put a lot of time & effort into your invitations, and it definitely paid off.. they're beautiful!!! your guests will love them!!!

I had a talk with my FI, and all he has to say is... Just don't listen to her, you have final say.. but it'd be one thing if it were all talk.. but she's actually taking action. I had already picked out my wedding party.. already had 5 girls from the start, my two sisters included who I had picked as my matron of honor and maid of honor. it's not t hat i would be dead set against having my FBIL's gf in my wedding party, but now it feels like there's so much pressure. She's definitely not my moh though. I'm trying not to turn his family against me, and I'm doing my best to be respectful.. You guys think i should just let them think whatever they want, cause everything I seem to be saying to my FMIL seems to be irrelevant in her eyes.. Thanks guys for listening, for awhile there i thought maybe i was just overreacting. :)

My FI & I were dating for 6 1/2 years when we got engaged, and we'll have been together for 8 1/2 years when we finally get married.

I have always gotten along with my fiance's mother, but lately, I cannot stand her....my FI doesn't understand why I"m feeling the way I'm feeling, and I shouldn't make a big deal about it. but I dunno... The thing that makes me angry is that she had actually went to my FBIL's gf, and told her she was my maid of honor when I had told her i already had my wedding party picked out. .........., and I don't wanna be a beotch, but OMGGGGGGGGG.........what f****** right does she have by asking someone to be in my wedding party, let alone my maid of honor. Last but not least, the gf came to me the other day saying that my FI's MOM bought her the dress she's going to wear for the wedding when she stands beside me....and apparently she had gotten herself a black & pink dress when those aren't even my colours... I told my FMIL that i want coral to be the colour, and then guess what she did..... she went out and bought a coral dress for herself to wear for the wedding!!!! I had a talk with her about it and she said to me, that I can choose a lighter or darker coral for my wedding party.. maybe i'm goin a little bit crazy.. but this all happened within 2 days of each other.......i don't exactly know how to deal with my FBIL's gf either......:/

Hey Ammi!!!!! congratulations & welcome to the forums!!! whoo hoo another canadian!!

Congratulations Natalie!!! and welcome to the forums!!

Ashlie!! welcome to the forums! and congratulations!! There's soo many beautiful destinations to choose from, but I wish you all the best!!

Hey Lori!! Congratulations!! and welcome to the forums

Hi there! just wanted to welcome you to the forums!! and to congratulate you on your upcoming wedding!!! all the best!!

Wow!! I loveee your boarding passes!! you did such a great job!!! the colours are so nice!! definitely lookin forward to your next project.

Hey Danny. Just wanted to say congratulations! and all the best! It is definitely nice to see you helping out your fiance.. Good luck!

Hey guys! was wondering.. What are the prices for his wedding packages for 2009? I'm kinda interested..

congrats jessie, & welcome to the forums!!!

I had been dating my FI for about 6 years, and we'll have been together for 8 1/2 years when we get married..

congratulations!!! and welcome to the forums!!

Yeah.. all my guests wanted to fly on the same day, I have a lot of angry guests wondering why there's such limited seating. I'm hoping that they will have another plane.. same company and everything.. but apparently the travel agency said it was very unlikely. it's 8 months from now though.. i'm almost sure that there's going to be hundreds of people wanting to go to Mexico.. *crossing fingers*

Congratulations Carol!!! All the best with the upcoming wedding!! it's coming up soon!!!!!! :)

So, just bear with me, while i rant about my very stressful situation. So originally, my FI & I, were goin to get married during the summertime in Punta Cana, but we changed our minds and decided durin the last week of November we would get married in the Riviera Maya. So, I go to the travel agent 3 weeks ago.. and told her there would be around 30-40 people going realistically. The travel agent told me I would just need 10 people to put down their deposits down. so my family & his family put our deposits down after getting the price to the hotel, then 3 days later I had done that, the travel agent called me and goes, I'm so sorry. There was another wedding group with 100 people. and there are only 30 seats left.....on the airplane........OMGGGGGGGG....and after putting down our deposits, i didn't wanna change the week, so I told everyone to get their deposits in asap. Two days later, my travel agent calls me again and says there are 15 more seats left.... UGHHHHHHH......... I'm not even sure if I should just says screw it and change it... but I have so much to worry about... Finding a dress and everything, and I feel horrible, cause I had told the rest of the guests that they probably had about a month at the most to put their deposits down.......before I had known this was goin to happen...... sorry for ranting..

However, it's pretty risky to just go with that email and hope for the best. I personally haven't decided what to do about the Photographer yet and was probably going to use the one from the resort. Do you want me to ask for more details and see if they give me the same response? Maybe it will give you more piece of mind if they are telling multiple people that photographers are allowed with a day pass? Also....you're getting married 4 days after me!!! That is so fun, what day are you arriving at RIU?? If you'll be there on 11-28 feel free to come to the wedding or check out any of the preperation, etc that's going on for mine, so you can have a better idea of how yours will go. Just a thought! JPJCWedding - I'm getting married on the Wednesday, December 2 @ 4, and I'm arriving on your wedding date!!!!.... You're getting married at the Gazebo right? you must be sooo excited. Yeah, if you guys could email them and see what they say to you, might give me some piece of mind. I was soo excited when they told me i could bring an outsider photographer onto the grounds for the day, I just don't want to put a deposit down for a photographer, and then find out 2 or 3 months before that they won't allow me to... Thanks sooo much!!!! :)

So, I've emailed the wedding coordinator about an outside photographer, and she told me they were allowed on the property with a day pass, but I'm almost scared that at the last minte they're going to say. sorry, we changed our policy.. I'm confused why they would tell me this though.. I'm not sure if I should risk it or not.. though I do have the emails to prove it. :/ everyone on the forums are saying they're not allowed, so I'm very confused..

quick question...if someone purchased guest passes even for a photographer.. why would they not be considered a guest.. cause they do have use of the food. or facilities.. I know a lot of the bride and grooms here getting married at the riu have said it's only if they stay the night.....what photograph package is everyone getting that have used the hotel photographer??
