Hello all, I have fantastic news. We have finally worked it all out. I have a different wedding planner than you guys.. her name is Jacqueline and she ROCKS!!!! It took a lot of back and forth emails but we finally figured it out... We are getting married on April 6th (Good Friday) Infinity renewal of vows ceremony in the Riviera Gazebo at 4pm Dinner for 40 in the Italian restaurant (Mamma Mia) at 6pm THEN Private Beach Party with our own signature drink (pink lemonade and vodka) served as a welcome drink as guests arrive on the beach Domestic Bar and DJ set up for 2 hours with tables, seating and decorations for 30 people. This lasts till 10pm and the Disco opens at 1030 so if we still have party left in us thats where we will be Not sure if any of you have thought about this or not but I asked and have already been given permission to use the chinese sky lanterns during our beach party. I am SOOOOO happy about this. If you have never seen them they are extraordinary! One last thing... I have a number of people showing loads of worries about traveling to Mexico. Any other brides having this problem? If so what are you saying to your guests? A Canadian Photographer even said he wasnt keen on traveling to Mexico for the obvious safety reasons!

New to this thread.. and site truly. I started Insanity a few months ago and then stopped after 3 days.. I put it on hold and said I would go strong after the holidays and here I am on week 2 I haven't lost any weight but man I feel better. Im probably in the worst shape of my life (5'3" 148lbs of MUSH), I used to work out 5 days min a week at the gym (and was a solid 123lbs of muscle) and just stopped suddenley this summer after a few family set backs. I felt like crap.. inside and out so I was trying to find something that would get me back to where I was. For me its more about fitting into my dress, which I ordered too small in an attempt to get me motivated again. I know crazy move but so far its working to keep me on track. I am not following the meal plan but am trying to 'eat clean' something that always worked really well for me in the past. If it grows from the ground or has eyes I can eat it. Hope everyone (including me) stays on track with their goals

Thanks Vancity Bride I hadnt read all of the posts on this feed before I wrote my rant. Now that I know there are other private options we may just go with that. Our heart was originally set on the Thai club but its booked for our day so as far as we knew the only other private option was the beach. Alsomy WC is Jacqueline, have you ever dealt with her? We havent spoken to anyone else and seeing that everyone has somewhat been dealing with the same WC that got me a bit worried. Would you mind telling me a bit more about the options for private parties that you had been given? The first time I have even heard of these other rooms was only a few hours ago. The prices, menus, and extras such as DJ seem so much better than the $85 + per person on the beach. OH and I am so with you on the 'sand in my food' fear that and the sand fleas BIG concern of mine. What we would love to do is have our wedding at the round gazebo (no slue which one this is) then move to the Platinum lounge while we wait for dinner, I had read on another site that a bride had done this with no problems. Most of our guests will be staying in this section so it shouldnt be a big problem however when I mentioned it to Jacqueline she said ABSOLUTELY NO!! We would have loved to go to the restaurant in this pic... but I have no clue which one it is. The plan was to go to dinner at one of the a la cartes.. probably the Mamma Mia because our options our limited due to the size of our group (43pp) or thats what we have been told. And then move to the beach for a party. Somehow explaining this to our WC is like pulling teeth. Do you have any idea which restaurant this is in the picture? If you were starting from scratch what would do now? Any advice would be so appreciated. I feel like Im 5 years old and its christmas eve... my nerves are shot.

When are you getting married? Our date is April 6th and we too are coming from Nova Scotia

I am new to this site... getting married at Grand Sunset Princess on April 6th 2012. Im having a boat load of issues with the wedding co-ordinator and feel like pulling my hair out right now can you ladies PLEASE help me. We have 43 people in our group so we originally booked the Royalty package for our wedding ceremony based on numbers alone. And just the other day decided to change it to the Infinity package because the numbers just didnt add up, we understood that this package only included dinner for 20 people so if we were to have dinner in a resturant then we would have to pay $12/person extra. Thats fine, still crazy in my mind because it is an all-inclusive and that cost is alreasy covered by our individual price int he first place but whatever so be it. AS SOON AS I CHANGED to the Infinity.. they started to raise the price of everything else. We had requested a private beach party INSTEAD of the dinner in a resturant, which we were given a price of $25/person, and I know stupid me but I can not for the life of me find the f-ing email that this was quoted on, I trusted they were not giving me the run around. Which I am sure you all know includes nothing but food. On top of that the coordinator is now telling me that I have to pay $12/person extra (for 20 people) to just sit in the Gazebo? PLUS the dinner that is included with the Infinity package for 20 people (which we wanted to use as a rehersal dinner) just disappears when you book a beach party.. you cant use it for anything else no matter what. If I could I would change resorts TODAY. I am so angry I can barely think. I cant believe the price of extras at this resort. My mother is a travel agent, she books wedding every single day, she herself was married down south last May, and even she is shocked with this resort. I dont even want to plan anymore. So now that I have finished ranting, I have a few questions for anyone who can answer them. Is there anyone else out there that is getting married the same week or day as me? April 6th at 4pm. We arrive on the 2nd and leave on the 9th I think I read a post on here about the resort photographer not being very good, is this true? Has anyone else ever heard of the beach party costing $25/person? Thanks for reading my rant Tia

Hello all... I am planning our wedding for April 2012 and have been trying to figure out this site to find other brides who might be there at that time... or brides who have been there already with advice on what to do and what no to do. Help please
