I agree with the other posts, the info you can get off of this forum is fantastic. Also, it's good to sit back with your fiance and remember that this is all about the two of you.

Congratulations and welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum! You'll find a ton of really great info here.

The pic they choose is really inviting. Great job!

Beautiful photos - the two of you look amazing in them!

That's a beautiful gown. I had an idea that I wanted something sleek and flowy and ended up with a Paloma Blanca dress as well (3854). The dress felt really light on and after trying on many dresses, I realized sleek and flowy just wasn't me. This dress totally was. I say, go with the dress that you love.

i love the two jim hjelm dresses - they're gorgeous!

I agree with the post above. Our wedding is not very traditional and the feel of our invites are also quite modern so I didn't feel bad about not sticking to the tradition of using caligraphy to address our invites. I say do what you want to!

The maracas turned out beautiful!

Great layout and the pic of the two of you is really cute.

Great pics - you look really happy. Your friends and family did an awesome job.

Congrats - everything looks amazing and I'm sure you had an awesome wedding! I love your guest info booklet - I might just have to steal that idea!

Thanks! Everything looks fantastic and your bridesmaid dresses were such a great find. Good luck with everything.

Your ceremony looked beautiful - congratulations! Thanks so much for your detailed review - it's so helpful!

Thanks for sharing all of that info and the food looks fantastic.

I just received the same email - thank GOODNESS!

This is the email I received from Daniela. It doesn't even make sense and she doesn't even finish some of her sentences. It does, however, state clearly that they're not going to honour our contract with Bradley Fraser: Since September 29th,2009 are no longer permitted access to any outside vendor photo or video service, because Riu hotels have exclusive contract with Mango Production for photography & video service. By this way we can guarantee a better service of these Moreover, we must consider that in 2010 the wedding package does not include these as part of such services. As our exclusive photographers themselves not competitive harm our photography company that is generating revenue for the hotel and are willing to give quality service you deserve, according to your requests External provenders are not allow to come to the resort at least ARE GUEST OF THE HOTEL- has a room booked at least on the wedding day and be part of your 80% of guest required to get married at Riu Hotels properties.(External provender means photographer, videographers, florist, DJ´s and others payed directly by the client not the one offered on our list of extras) We made an exception only for the wedding of October and November that he have knowledge of this situation, because the time were to close and was only one wedding with Bradley Fraser

I'm getting married July 1, 2010. I emailed Daniela Ocampo, the WC at Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas and I haven't heard back from her yet. I'll post whatever response I get. Interesting that Paola Flores responded - she is the Sales Coordinator. I checked my emails and I just realized that they share the same email address. I hope I hear back from someone with good news.

I just got an email about this from my photographer who I booked a few months ago for my wedding next year. Does anyone know if they will still honor contracts made prior to the announcement of this policy? I just sent an email to Daniela. I really hope I didn't just lose my deposit. This is so upsetting.

A friend of mine got a great deal at Sandals last year. Interesting to know that we won't be finding deals like that anymore.
