Oh and believe me... The Welcome dinner is almost as wonderful as the reception. When we arrived for the Welcome Dinner at Don Manolo's they had segmented off a private area and had it decorated just like a wedding reception. Since we had seen a previous wedding earlier that day, I thought the dinner was the actual reception for that wedding because the decorating was so elaborate!! Nope.. THAT was our WELCOME DINNER.. They even had a head table for it.!!

Thank you Susan for taking the time to take all those photos and for thinking of us! I really appreciate the info you and Josie have shared! What a beautiful wedding!

HI!! So I have been reading this daily! It has provided me with SOO much helpful information. I am getting married May 22, 2010. Guess I'm starting to kinda get a little overwhelmed! Have not done much and it's hard b/c we are not really sure how many people will be going. I was wondering if you use the photographer at the Riu do you have to contact them a head of time or do you handle that when they contact you about a month prior?? Just don't want to get stuck w/o one!!! Thanks so much for all the great input and ideas!

clbrown- what is your name?

 

Welcome to our thread! Maybe we will cross paths in May! I'm not sure exactly what my travel dates are going to be yet. Don't get overwhelmed, I don't have a ton done yet either!

welcome,dont get overwhelmed enjoy it because believe me it goes soooo quickly.glad you find the thread helpful its been a god send for me.if you have any quires just let us know and we will do our best to advise.lisa+josie have been really helpful to us just lately.regarding the photographer yeh you can use the resort photographer who are called calypso photography (i still havent found their website lisa/josie do you?)or you can have your own but you have to pay for them to enter the resort for the day.

you still have time but the way i got through was make a diary of things you need to do by what date and tick them off as you go along.good luck.

have you tried on dresses yet?

Thanks for the advice! My name is Courtney.

Sammysgirl- do you have a date in May yet?

I have actually found my dress!! We got engaged August 2008 and I was so excited and went dress shopping and found one right away! So I have had it for awhile! Also I just went with the girls and picked out bm dresses!

you thought anymore about a bd shoot?

[*Linds*]

Shellk- I'm still thinking about it! I have lost 17 lbs and would like to lose 12 more before the wedding. If I can lose about 5 lbs by the end of Jan I am going to do the BD shoot for sure! I can't find a good photog around here though with reasonable prices. I need to continue searching!
