This is a good question, and something I'm interested in hearing. Our wedding is also at 4pm, in the plaza gazebo, at Riu MoBay. However, we're having 100 guests and DO NOT want to pay for an open bar for all these ppl, lol.

4pm for us. Not as hot as 12pm or 2pm; close to reception time, so guest can't stroll off too far; and still a lot of great light available for photos.

Our colors are yellow and latte, and the site will give her some great ideas to play with. Thank you.

We're also doing a wedding weekend in MoBay. However, most of our guest care more about their hair then doing excursions and messing up their dos, lol. So, we're just hanging out at the resort, lounging, drinking, laughing, and just enjoying a big family vacation. No one is interested in traveling over an hour and half for an excursion, so I guess we lucked out. good luck with your planning.

Thanks for the replies. This is REALLY good news to me.

If you have a guest, who is attending your wedding AND staying at the resort, and just happens to also be a photographer, will you still have to pay the RIU their outside vedor fee if he/she shoots your wedding?

FI and I are trying to decide between RMB and ROR.

Thanks for all the great replies, lol. Decided to go with BFVS.

IMO, I think there's nothing wrong with it. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Your friend will just be happy you made it.

Leaving DW in Montego Bay and surprising my wife-to-be with our honeymoon in Negril.

I'm trying to decide between a Beachfront Verandah Suite or the Great House Jacuzzi suite. Ive seen Couples' stock photos of both rooms, but that's it; and, I can't seem to find many reviews for the jacuzzi suite. Can anyone share a difference in the room or any review of the jacuzzi suite? I'm pretty much trying to decide between beachfront or jacuzzi tub. Thanks

Congrats and welcome to the board. Good luck with your planning. There's tons of info, reviews, and suggestions on here. Search function is your friend. The Caribbean has sooooo many options with gorgious resorts so do a lil' reseach on the few countries you're interested in visiting and go from there. You can also get in contact with a travel consultant and get their help to choose a destination. They have some of the best knowledge at finding places to meet your standards cause all they have the experience. Good luck and happy planning.

Gotta do white shoes. No question about it. Coming from a groom-to-be with a lil' sense of style, white shoes is the way to go with a grey suit and pink shirt.

If my girl wasn't broke and in school, I might've enforced that idea, lol. I'll casually bring it up when she has some financial freedom to make the gesture.

Nice! Maybe I should get the Mrs. to view these pics and change her mind about our location? That beach reception is what did it for me! WOW

paying for BOTH out of the budget is something I never thought about. Good idea. Coming from a man, I think its nice when she pays (even if our money is tied up). Sorta like returning the gesture =).

I'm just curious to know who paid?

The pants and sleeves come up short and the pants are baggy in the butt and thigh. I submitted a complaint to them to see what they can do but we have about 7 weeks left now so we are working on a plan B. I'm really, really disappointed cos we spent so much money and most other people had rave reviews. We purchased 8 suits from them. Grrrrr!!!!! Any ideas on what stores are carrying linen suits this year? this sucks. I hope your plan B works out in time. I'm looking for suits for me and my groomsmen, and was just feeling comfortable with giving this site a chance, before I read your post. Good luck.
