That explains it, I thought the 1.5hr wait between the ceremonies might be because they were at the same locations, but I'm happy they do that though so it doesn't feel like a wedding factory  Hahaha, you're welcome to peek in! I just wrote you in the Now thread asking when you get there, to see if you would be there when I get married  Yes, you do. Nicola from the UK is getting married at Riu on May 6th. I think she is on this thread, if not, she is on the "Any April 2011 brides?" thread. You probably have more twins on here as well since it is a Friday. Â

I was thinking of maybe just doing floating candle centerpieces and then putting flower petals or colored beads around them. I know Lisa has some great ideas for centerpieces, but I have not started thinking about them yet. I will do something very simple I know that. My colors are light blue/aqua, light green/margarita and beige/latte. What are your colors? When will you be there? In time for my wedding?

Thank you!! Wedding triplets, how exciting! I'm happy I'm not the only one who chose to get married on a Wednesday I was a little worried about the day before, but I feel good about it now. Â I am so far behind!!! I have not even sent out save the dates yet. I wanted to send them out as soon as possible just because I will do DIY passport invites and I'm sure that will take a while. Â I designed a postcard on Vistaprint but then I saw a font I really like on this forum and now I can't find it. Does anyone have any good STD ideas or templates, preferably from Vistaprint since it is so cheap/free

They told me we could choose between 3pm or 6.30pm in the pergola, I guessed that was because you were getting married in the pergola at 5pm but I guess not I'm hoping to get my confirmation tomorrow for my date and time Â

Oh! Hahaha! Yes, I thought you meant 6 guests I wondered when you said you had people coming from all over too, if it was 2 from Mexico, 2 from US and 2 from Canada hahahaha! So where will the other guests stay? Â
-
Yes, I do!! I would have driven myself crazy over and over again without this forum

Hey Nan, Â I have "met" you in the May 2011 thread After starting this thread I have actually been able to decide on a resort (Now Jade) and just trying to finalize the date. I love the villa option though, but our wedding party are too big I think. See you in the May 2011 thread!!

Thank you!

Hard to keep up with! When is your ceremony? I will still be there when you get there, most of us leave that Sunday or Saturday.
-
I never considered Dreams, but I don't remember why..hmm...maybe it is really big? However, I considered many other resorts and Now Jade was the one that had everything I wanted, I considered: price, size of resort, ceremony locations, kids allowed, no wristbands, private beach, location etc. I almost went with Gran Porto Real but I didn't like that they have wristbands for guests and no private beach. It was very important to me to find an affordable resort for my guests but at the same time something that seemed nice. Â I know how hard this decision is, I was so happy when I finally made a decision and then I had to make the decision for the date & time, which turned out to be even harder haha!
-
I sent an email today to change out date to 4th of May, so cross your fingers that it is still available please! I tried to call to make sure but they must have been busy with another wedding or just out of the office. If I don't hear back on Monday I will try and call again. I feel so much better about this decision
-
I think I will do that too Move it up that is. I can only move it up one day but when I called the resort yesterday the whole day was open so we would be the only wedding and could choose our time. Â Oh yeah, forgot that you are doing a site visit, how cool! I wish we could afford to do that too, it would ease my mind a lot Â

Panama will be so exciting!! I look forward to read your review when you get back, it is one of the few countries where I have never been and FFIL is a dual citizen and want to retire there so I have helped him with a lot of research about places in Panama. Â I am the worst person to ask about when to get married during the trip, I keep changing my mind haha! I think we will move our day to Wed (we have booked Thurs) and we have people traveling Sat - Sat and then some that will just come for a few days. My TA said that it is good to at least have 2 days after you arrive before your wedding. I am worried about not getting enough "after-wedding-relaxing" time and during the date we chose the only time available is 6.30pm and sun sets at 7.15-7.20 during that time. Â

But privacy pays, this time for us!  I found the dress at a special store where they sell Indian stuff. Isn´t it beautiful? Yeah, if we had a small wedding that is they way I would have gone. Sounds really nice! Â

You're right! I am so busy with trying to please everyone's wishes and I know it. I think I would prefer to have it in the beginning of the trip but on those days the only time left is early that day (not am but earlier than I would like). I could move it up one day and have it on that Wednesday....not sure what to do :S Â
-
I am sooo far behind haha! The only thing I have done is chosen the resort and sent in the date request, even though I'm still debating the date....only time available was 6.30pm, do you guys think that is too late??? I have my wedding band, but we still need to get one for FI. I have designed the STDs but not ordered them yet. Â JR14, where in Panama are you getting married? We were considering Panama for a little while there.
-
I love the dress!!!! Perfect for a destination wedding! Where did you find it? Was the private villa really expensive?
-
Thanks!! That helped a lot with my decision. I was thinking that I wouldn't be very relaxed during the days leading up to the wedding and not enjoy myself as much, but you have a good point that I might need time for hair trials etc. We are very flexible with the actual date as well, so that is not really an issue. I was focusing mostly on the timing on everything. Guess it might be more important to think about giving guests from the US an option to come for a few days. You just convinced me to choose Thursday Thanks!! Now let's just hope the date is still available :S Â

We are getting married before hand as well. Â I'm guessing our guests from the US will arrive on a weekday but our guests from Sweden will stay at least a week and prices are a lot lower if they travel Saturday - Saturday. The flight prices go up with $2-300 on that Sunday and since the flight is about 13-15 hours they want to stay at least a week and I want to be there when they arrive. I haven't been home in a long time so I want to spend as much time with them as possible. Â
