Sundays do not count has business days and the arrival day does not count either. We have to arrive on Friday so that leaves Saturday and Monday as the two full business days. When you book your wedding online with Riu, you have to enter your arrival day. Basically it won't go through if you pick your arrival date that doesn't allow two full business days before the wedding. Thank you! It just seems like so many people work around this issue when they arrive at the resort. I read the FAQ and that is what freaked me in the beginning but than I hear of so many people working around that issue when they get to the resort. My TA is going next week and I am going to have her scope out the situation and see if the resort "policy" is enforced and she is meeting with the management at ROR so I will hear what they have to say on the issue as well. I will post when i find out!

I have the exact same question I am doing a red eye on a Thurs night and checking in Friday to ROR and I planned on getting married Monday. I also read that Sunday doesn't count. My travel agent is going to ROR next week I will have her confirm and report back.

How did you setup the shoot at the Dunns River? Was it done through the photographer? You guys look like you were the only ones there how did you manage that? Your pictures are amazing I loved your wedding hair! Shannon

Thanks again! For my engagement pictures we are planning on wearing only one outfit. I see lots of couples have several in their pics, is it weird that were not?

Good luck Robyn Hi Robyn, I am using Roger and Lyndezz from Ellsworth photography: Ellsworth Photography I met them at a bridal expo and I really like their stuff. The big problem I am having is it is Gay Pride Week in Long Beach and it gets absolutely crazy. I am hoping if I stay away from downtown we will avoid the commotion. :-)

Hi All!!!! My name is Shannon and after reading your board I have changed my venue to the RUI in Ocho Rios Jamaica! Your post's were very eye opening. I am getting married in May 2010 but why does a year away seem to be approaching so fast?? My engagement pictures are tomorrow so I have signed up just in time to search for photo tips. As crazy as it sounds I am always on Off Road riding forums so it is a little weird getting to be all girly for once. Can't wait to get started and get support from other brides!
