We just finished packing and have to be up in 3 hours! I just want to thank all of you for being so helpful and wonderful! I intend to take lots of pics for you all and hopefully will be able to help all of you next RIU brides to be! Thank you again! I would have been lost without you! Kim

We were there January '07 when we got engaged and we personally liked the beach a lot better as we didn't like the hotel as the back drop for pics at the pond gazebo...people had their towels hanging off their balconies to dry and random people were obviously hanging out on their balconies taking in the sites and sun. Just our insight on what we saw when we were there...have you seen pics of bride's weddings from there...that might help you decide!!! Wherever it'll be, will be SO beautiful! We were SO impressed with the RIU...that's why we're going back!!!!!

Thank you sooooooooo much! That was so helpful!!! (LOVE the champagne bottle pic!

I LOVE your pics!! Congrats again!!! LOVE the Lilies, too! Question about the tipping....I know you said about $250 but I was curious how you allocated the tipping....I really don't know how much for each "job description" ie...the bartender vs. Chandlyn, etc... If you don't mind sharing...that would really help!!! 8 days to go.......I'm sooooo excited!!

Those are great! (I thought Irie meant..."alright" as they say..."everything will be Irie" ok...some other ones could be.... DUNNS - Famous Falls in Ocho Rios RUM - Hangover COFFEE - 1st thing (their coffee IS amazing I tell ya!) HUT - Shade ...Just a few, I'll keep thinking and let you know if I come up with a few more for ya! Good Luck! What a great idea!

All the best Amy!! Congratulations! It's too bad I'll miss you by one day! We leave a week Saturday! Can't wait to see your photos! Wooohoooo! It's finally here for ya! Kim ")

I know I'm hoping to catch a glimpse of one that takes place before ours, but I think you are the only bride there at the same time. I'd be happy to give you some tips before your wedding. Every little bit helps when your planning a wedding! That would be great, Olivia!! Thank you!

Calia, I absolutely love your dress! What a beautiful Bride!! Thanks for sharing them with us!

YES! Please share! We have to have our wedding videotaped as we plan to play it at our party when we get back for everyone who wasn't able to make the wedding! I've been wondering about cost and quality!
