JEss soooo cool that you have your venues narrowed down; that's awesome! I have been to the Riu in Aruba, not to stay but to walk around. A friend of mine has also stayed at one of the riu's in mexico, not sure which city though. She enjoyed it!

That juice looks so good! I have yet to juice beets, but I love them, so I have to soon! Our juicer is a "Jack LaLanne's Power Juicer Pro" from Costco. It was about $120.

We got married at the Bahia Principe resort in Mexico a year ago last November. It was awesome and a great family-friendly resort for our guests with children!
I heard rumours they were splitting the resort into three different ones (it was pretty big), so I'm not sure how it would be now.

Getting married in Mexico was awesome :)

Just FYI and I'm sure after doing the research you know this, but a legal marriage in Mexico requires you to be in the country for a certain number of business days in advance AND to have a blood test (!) and sometimes a chest xray (depending which area you get married in).

What we did was a civil ceremony (just us and witnesses at the town hall) in advance and then a 'renewal of vows' that acted as our marriage for the extended family.

Good luck on all of your school stuff! How excitin...

Better 4.50 for an awesome juice than a sugary latte or something :)

I'm a new reader, and haven't commented before, but I knew I had to today when you posted you were possibly going to stay in a RIU for your wedding!

I had the priviledge of staying @ a RIU last March for my 31st birthday. Best Vacation Ever. We travel a lot, and are very frugal people, and absolutely loved EVERYTHING about the RIU.

One thing to keep in mind. The RIU has different levels of hotels. We stayed in the Palace (their best I think). If I had to give you one piece of advice, it would be to spring for the Palace if at all possible. You can enjoy any of the other RIU properties on your visit, and you get the best of the best at the Palace. Everything is top notch. They even prepared a special birthday dinner for me at my DBF's request, and of course no additional charge. It was simply amazing.

Hope this helps, lemme know if you have any questions.

Congratulations! Lacey

Hi :) I'm a new reader, and haven't commented before, but when I saw you were looking at the RIU for your wedding I knew I had to!

I had the luxury of staying in the RIU in Cancun last March for my 31st birthday. It was the best vacation ever! The RIU has different levels of hotels, and the "Palace" is the best. That's the one we stayed in Cancun (Hotel Riu Palace Las Americas). I would say that if you can at all aford it, go for the Palace. You can enjoy all the privileges at any other of the RIU properties in the city you are in, and you get the best of the best in the Palace!

I am very frugal, and we travel often, but this is one upgrade that will make it worth it for you. Hope I was some help, the RIU properties are amazing, good choice! Congratulations!

It's great to see you back posting again - oh ...
