Past November brides..... what time was your ceremony? I'm starting to second guess my time and I think I want to bump it back an hour. I'd hate to get married in the dark! I know that pictures are better at sunset but in November things get dark very quickly and I don't want to chase the sun. Thanks!

I rememeber walking in the sand in heels. It's a bit tough navigating but it's alright when your wearing sandals. I've opted to stay off the sand because my shoes are closed toe and I'd hate to get sand stuck inside.

Mine is on a Wednesday. Luckily it's a holiday in Canada. I told them would you rather get paid for one day while you're in Mexico or wait till the weekend. Gotta love Stats!

TightyWhitey and jmb0902...your shoes are FIERCE!!! I love them. Where did you get yours TightyWhitey?

Sorry ...my fingers don't work well without coffee. It's Jeux D'eaux !

I think I'm doing to splice together Aerosmith's " Don't want to miss a thing" and "Jeax D'eaux" from Cirque Du Soleil. Aerosmith is very Mike and Cirque is very me. Funny enough they kinda fit togehter well....go figure!

Hi ladies... I'm not sure if you all have the same problem as I do. It seems that I now have quite a few single guys going to my wedding. I thought I had chosen my oot bags ( fuschia with our monogram in lime green and white). Now my Fi is asking if I'm actually going to give the guys a pink bag!!! Any suggestions as to what I can give the single guys that won't break the bank? I have about 5-8 of them.

lydiag I will be at the Riu when you're getting married. My date is Novemeber 11th. We'll have to hook up for a drink!

I believe that you can have a reception on the lower terrace that is right beside the beach. When we were there last November we saw a set up for the actual beach area. It had pieces of plywood down for walking and dancing. Very pretty as well. The food at the steakhouse isn't bad. There's a lot more variety at the steakhouse than at the other restaurants. If you do decide to do the lower terrace it'll be an extra $500 for a semi private event. Just make sure you read the fine print on the contract and email Daniela whenever you have questions. I know she dreads opening her email now because I'm emailing her every 2 days of so it seems!

From what I understand the food and wine, beer and soda are included. If you email Daniela she'll send you all the info you need. The terrace has beautiful views. You're making a great choice.

I was at the Riu this past November for a site inspection. The Mexican restaurant has terrific views. I wasn't crazy about the food though. We were in the second seating and the food seemed a bit cold to me. The restuarant I'll probably be using is the steakhouse. The views are not as good as the Mexican terrace but it's good for us. What I REALLY want is the steakhouse food at the baja norte (poolside). Haven't received prices for that yet though. In my opinion you picked a really great resort and Daniella is great to work with. She took my FI and I on a site inspection and gave us at least an hour of her time. She is very efficient and works very hard to make your day great. I'll see if I can post a few of the pics that I took of other weddings when I was down there.

My FI currently wears Euphoria...I love it! I wear different scents every day. Just depends on the mood I'm in. Currently on my vanity are: 1- dreaming - Tommy Hilfiger 2- So Lovely - SJP 3- Nina Ricci 4- Princess - Vera Wang 5- Bright Crystal - Versace 6- Lauren Style - Ralph Lauren 7 - Spa - Alfred Sung I have other as well but those are my weeky scents. Sick! I think I need to get some help!

Well the flutes I dream about are not rhinestone but crystal. The swarovski crystal toasting flutes are beautiful. They have everything from champagne flutes to wine and martini glasses.

When I was there last November doing a site inspection I saw a wedding at baja norte. We also saw one on the beach under the steakhouse. The only con I noticed about both was the wind. I know that the pool area is great for pictures but I also don't want the guests having their hair blow in their faces. I am also concerned about the cost of the menu. I love the food at the steakhouse but I'm not sure if we can get that menu by the pool. ....I know....I'm high maintenance and so confused!

I'm getting married at the Riu Palace and I'm torn between doing a private reception at the pool (baja norte) or just doing it at the steakhouse. My FI likes the feel of the poolside but I'm unsure of the cost. Has anyone done the pool before and if so was it super expensive? I really have to watch my budget because we want the jacuzzi suite as well as fireworks and a 2 week stay. Any help is appreciated.

I actually have 2 dresses....a long one and a short one for our civil ceremony at home before we leave. The long one was $1400 + tax and the short one was almost $300. The way I see it...it was cheaper than the FI's harley!!!

Call me strange but I LOVE #2. Who makes them?!?

This is what I selected. They are SUPER comfortable too! Not the Louboutins I wanted but why spend $800 when I can spend $200.

I have my ceremony booked for 2pm but I'm thinking about changing it to 3pm so we can get some pictures before the sun sets.

Does anyone have any decent sites to order earrings and bracelets? I've been having really bad experiences with online sites that now I only want to go by word-of-mouth. Any suggestions?

Hey ladies.... I'm wondering if you have started to plan out your wedding day timeline? I have a time line in mind but I'm starting to have second thoughts about it. Keeping in mind that the sun sets at about 5:45pm what does your timeline look like?

I've just ordered mine! I think I'll add them to our OOT bags. Thanks for the tip!!!

I think I have everyone beat.... We're getting married November 11 on our 11th anniversary. I wanted to make sure he was Mr. Right.

Just do what I always do.... Tell him it's what you got to make up for his last big purchase. That's why I have so many shoes since the Harley came into our lives! Don't sweat it! Now for more important matters....... Who makes those shoes! I am VERY jealous
