I am so upset! I had my wedding all set for Thursday April 9 at 2:00, and I got an email from ROR that the minister would not be available at that time. They offered me Friday 4/10 but it's at 11:00 am. I really didn't want to get married this early. Do any of you know anyone who did the early wedding? How does it work out? I want to do the dinner receptiona nd was thinking of renting the DJ/disco and now I'm wondering what we will do all day in between the ceremony and the reception. Do you stay in your dress all that time?? I'm afraid by the reception time, my makeup will be all melted off and my hair will be messed up. Does anyone have any advicehuh.gif?

Well, My first thought is to be very stern with them and say something like this: "Although it's unexceptable, I understand things happen and my wedding date had to be changed. However, the time I originally requested is VERY important to us. We would appreciate a compromise; if we must change our wedding date, then we must keep our original time! I'm sure you and your FI put a lot of thought into the time, but if it must be earlier don't worry at all :) I know several people who were married at 11:30am. AND you will be away from home at a beautiful resort where time is irrelevant! Your guests will be more than happy to attend your wedding despite the time!!! It will turn out great!

Oh yeah, and as far as your hair and make-up: Don't worry about that either!!! You will be in paradise and your hair will look sexy after a few hours of sun and wind. I'm going to have a mini cooler and keep my eye shadow and lip gloss in there so it doesn't melt. Just keep the make-up light and re-touch your eyes and lips as needed.

WOW! I am sure it is frustrating and leaves you with some doubt about other arrangements...I would be stern too. See what they have to say about the time.

 

I am getting married at 11am. I was a little miffed about the fact that it had to be so early. I guess it means an earlier bedtime the night before. I am in the midst of trying to arrange a mini cruise to take place in the afternoon to try to fill the gap.

 

I have heard alot of people say that guests like the down time between ceremony/pics and dinner. I only have 6 people coming so this is why I've opted for a cruise of some sort.

 

Good luck and update when you hear something back from them.

Hey Ellipse I think the mini-cruise would be a great idea. Could you please give me some information on it when you find out? Thansk everyone for the encouragement. I know we will be in a beautiful spot and time shouldn't matter, but 11 am is just not what I had in mind. I'm sure it will all work out!

Don't stress too much. My wedding was at 11am and it worked out just fine. There is awhole thread in here from early time brides about what to do during the break, let me see if I can find it and i'll give you the link.

Also, keep in perspective that although your guests came all the way to Jamiaca for your wedding, they also came for a vacation too so it's really no big deal at all to tell people to go eat lunch and hang out for a few hours and then meet back later. There is plenty of stuff going on at the resort all day so they won't be bored. And most people probably have never been to a DW so they don't know what to expect anyway, anything you do will be impressive!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
