Hi Everyone, I'm pretty new to all of this. I am still trying to decide where I want to get married. I have never been to a Dreams Resort before...what made all of you pick Dreams? I know in the DR they speak spanish and english...is it possible to get someone to marry you in english or does it have to be in spansih? Thanks! Happy wedding planning to everyone! ~Stacy

Best of luck!! Let me know what kind of style you pick! How many guests are you hoping to have?

Yeah I have heard that too! They seem to like to do things last minute haha. Hopefully they have done enough weddings that they know what they are doing!! No I haven't looked for a dress yet. We are looking to get married May 2012. We just decided on RIU Bahamas, so that is definitely my next step! I can't wait! Have you decided on a dress? I still want something really nice, I'm thinking a mermaid dress! Best of luck to you! ~Stacy

Just disregard that last post. I'm new to all of this and didn't realize this thread had a total of three pages! haha Weiss you are soo helpful! Thank you thank you thank you. From a bride who does not have the opportunity to visit bahamas before the wedding! You really helped me so much! Best of luck with your wedding I think it is going to be amazing!! you have done so much work! Please everyone report back and let me know how your vendors are!! Looking forward to seeing some amazing photos! ~Stacy

Weiss, Glad you found a photographer do you mind me asking who you decided on? Best of luck!

Hi Tina, I haven't booked my wedding yet but I'm pretty sure RIU Bahamas is the place we want. I found a girl who got married there and she had nothing but great things to say. I don't think it's that much more for the private dinner and I think it would totally be worth it. How many people are attending your wedding? We usually stay at RIUs all over and I have had wedding dinners go on like right next to us. No my idea of intimiate. That being said I have never been to the Bahamas RIU so I'm taking a leap of faith! Questions for you....are you bringing welcome bags or centerpieces? Just wanted to see what someone else was doing. Let me know how everything goes! Best of luck!!! ~Stacy

Wow thanks! Are these all "extras"?

I am hoping to have my wedding March 2012. I'm just afraid to make the final leap and book the date. I'm just afraid no one will come haha. Thanks for all the reassurance. This whole thread was very helpful! Anyone who gets married anytime soon at the RIU paradise island let us know how your expereince is!!! Best wishes to everyone! ~Stacy

Hi Everyone, I'm new to all of this. Hoping to have my wedding in March 2012. I am from New Jersey. We are highly considering Bahamas but no definite plans yet. Just looking for some suggestions. What does everyone think of RIU Palace Paradise. Thanks!!
