    Hey there!  You, Me and RunningBride are right in a row!  Together we can take over the resort!  LOL  If you hear a bunch of loud crazy people it's probably our group of family and friends...blush2.gif  They're super friendly but like to have fun.  You can identify us by our turquoise tumblers that we're passing out to all our guests!  We get there on the 7th and getting married 10/9/10.  Congrats to you and hope to see you there.  It's getting close girl!!

    We are getting married on the beach at 4pm, the day after you! We arrive the morning of the 8th, so I'll look for your wedding on the 10th!! :)  How fun - we'll be there the same time!

     

    I'm getting my hair done at the Spa. Need to figure out how to make the appt. I think I'll just call?  I was gonna do my own make-up, but seeing the posts about MAC is making me think of using MAC. I love MAC make-up and I'm hoping they can do a great job.

     

    Still want to hear how that's done, though (go to the store? they come to you?)  I dunno - I do make-up really well, so I may just keep it DIY and let the pro's do my hair.

     

    You are inspiring me to lose the 10lbs I want to lose!  I ride horses and live on a ranch, so am very active. If I just watch what I eat, I know I can do 10lbs by 10/11/10 :)  I can't go crazy with workouts ...no time. Will probably just do LeanBody for Her shakes for dinner. That should do the trick :)  (along w/ no/low carbs in general)

    We're sitting with neither. We didn't want anyone to get upset or their feelings hurt that we'd pick one over the other so we're going to have a sweetheart table and just me and the hubby sitting together. Our first date/meal as a couple, figured we'd keep it as intimate as you can with 40 people and a DJ there lol love.gif

    We also went to the local MEGA store (kinda like a Target) and found lots of snacks and goodies to put into the bags. I bought some stuff at home and brought it with me (chapstick, bandaids, tums etc..) but the fun stuff we found at MEGA - my guests LOVED the candy and cookies we put in. Everyone used it. We also bought juice boxes that people could use as mixers for drinks to make in the room.

    Thanks Shannon! All helpful info :) Quick question though, of all the maps out there I've seen, I've been trying to figure out how far the MEGA store is from the Royal and a general idea of how to get there. Can you give us an idea and maybe some quick directions?

    Hi ladies! I've been so busy these last 2 weeks with other non-wedding stuff so I've had to use the last 2 days to get caught up on all the posts. Great news to update though! I just got off the phone with the wedding coordinator at The Royal. I previously had Angie... So yes I was so excited to hear from the coordinator who is handling our wedding! We'd been playing phone tag for a few days but she emailed and said she would be working until 7pm tonight so I asked if she could call me tonight before she got off work, well she called and it was after 7pm so I thought that was awesome of her. Here's a few things we went over on our call.

     

    I asked about the 3 people allowed at The Royal 3 hours before the ceremony and she said YES that is ok she'll just need to know the names of those 3 people before hand in an email.

     

    She confirmed that you can have 2 different main courses but she'll need to know how many of each entree 45 days before the wedding. I knew that from this forum but glad she re-confirmed it.

     

    The eternal romance package includes a mani and pedi for the bride and hair for the bride. She said I need to email her with the day/time of those services and she'll make reservations for me. Also if you want to have the bridesmaids get services at the spa you can have her make those reservations as well. The hair style price for them will be $70.

     

    My package, eternal romance, includes breakfast the day after the wedding and she said she'd email me a menu and we can pick what we want so they automatically bring it to your room. It also includes a dinner on the beach for the couple and a 25 min. couples massage and she said to just email her with the date/time and she'll set those things up for us as well.

     

    I'm having a symbolic ceremony and a friend of the groom is performing the ceremony, she said she needs the name of the person who'll be doing the ceremony.

     

    I asked about the ceremony music and as read on this forum, yes they have someone that will control the Ipod music for the ceremony.

     

    Oh and her name is ELSA so if any of you have her as your coordinator then rest assured you'll feel a million times calmer after talking to her, she is so sweet and really wants to get things the way you want them.

     

    Sorry I didn't ask about any other things but I was just trying to get as many questions in as I could. She was very helpful. If any of you have been assigned her and haven't heard back, don't worry. My wedding is Oct. 9th and I just heard from her so she may be going in date order.
