i got a message from my friend, who was at my wedding, a couple of weeks ago. she said that she was looking through my wedding pictures and was crying all over again! i'm so happy to know that all that hard work on the ceremony script was worth it. i LOVED our ceremony!

ladies, i think it's absolutely hillarious that we've gone from talking to weddings to talking babies in just a matter of months!
personally, we haven't decided yet. i'm 33 and he's 40, so i guess we should figure it out soon! but we're both up in the air. a family would be nice, but it's nice to be free to travel and do things spontaneously. we have an adorable little dog, and that's sometimes enough. IF we do have kids, it would definitely be only one or two. and even that scares the crap out of me. -
hi,
my husband's father passed away a year ago on the 4th of july. we incorporated a line or two about honoring those who could not be with us on our day. simple, like his dad was.
i just wanted to say that i'd be careful about planning on having candles to represent your fathers. i'm not sure where your wedding will be taking place, but beaches tend to be windy. so if you're having an outdoor ceremony, i'd check with your wedding coordinator to see if that's advisable at your site.
good luck, and i'm sure both of your fathers would be honored to know that you're thinking about them and incorporating something into your day for them.
p.s. my dad is still around, but wasn't able to make the trip for our wedding. ours was a small ceremony, but i walked myself down the aisle. it wasn't weird at all. but i wonder if there is a thread out there somewhere for this subject.

we had 15 guests in mexico. looooved the size.

we just used glass vases while we were in mexico. i bought an extra bag of colored sand and brought a ziplock bag full of beach sand home. we'll just re-enact the sand ceremony once we're ready to put everything together. i didn't want to worry about one more thing to carry home and didn't want the sand to shift around. i'm not the super sentimental kind so i don't mind if it's not the original sand wepoured during our ceremony. but i WILL make my husband pour the new one with me so it's actually both of us blending together (again!).

amy, how fun that you get two kinds of pictures! hope the second set gets here soon!

but have you checked out the thread about ceremony scripts? it's super helpful and gives a ton of ideas. that thread was huge in helping us write our ceremony! -

i had thank yous printed and included several pictures:
then there was one more picture on the back side, where we included our contact information as well.
it was really easy - i just created it in PowerPoint.
-
have you ladies started selecting pictures and putting together an album?
we haven't yet, but i've been thinking about it and i have no idea how we're going to decide. we have at least 1,200 pictures and there are hundreds that i like. i am thinking that i'll be including ones that 1) will tell the story of the events and 2) take my breath away or make me laugh or melt a little inside...

amy - good luck and have fun!!

i did the symbolic, and there is nothing that makes it any different from a regular wedding back at home. the only thing missing was the fingerprints, but i've never seen anyone do that at home! it's as real as it is to you and your FI!

i did a similar thing. i had mini pails with names and colored mini-umbrellas to signify the guests' entree selections. guests just grabbed their pails and sat where ever they wanted, and the wait staff was still able to see their entree selection. definitely no seating chart needed if you don't want one! ha, we did, however, have to re-arrange the umbrellas in guest's little pails. the wind, apparently, had blown the umbrellas out of the buckets and then got mixed up when replaced. good thing our party was small and i could remember pretty much what everyone had chosen! for those i couldn't remember, i just checked with the guests and let everyone know to make sure they had the right umbrella color!

thanks for loving up on my pictures ladies!
hope everyone can get in and see them now!

hmmm, i know a few people have been able to see them, but i'll try again.

another option is to check out the gallery on my photographer's website. i don't think he has as many there (and likely doesn't have some of my favorites) but you could also check them out there if the links above don't work.
i think that should bring you into the client tab already. password is CarmenDelPlaya
enjoy!

for me, having my (shoulder-length, stick-straight) hair up was definitely the right choice. the little bits that were curled and left down were straight again within about half an hour of stepping outside. it was definitely windy, and even my little birdcage veil was blowing in the wind. my hair was pinned up in curls and it worked out great for me!
please let me know if you have any other questions - i'm glad to help! -
i used the link that said something about sharing the pics with people even if they're not on facebook, but i'll go accept your request anyway! hope you like 'em...

hi, the colored lights under the tables are included (and really great looking!).
i don't remember reading about any mayan ceremonies. i've just seen the pics on the website and it looks so unique. can't wait to hear about yours!
the regular dance floor is included at no extra charge. we didn't have a lot of dancing, so it was totally fine for us. it's not pretty by any means, but it didn't matter a ton once it gets dark out...
hope that helps a little! good luck! -

looking at the pictures just makes me want to go back... loved it there!

i was so oblivious to my surroundings that i have absolutely no idea of the song finished or if it was phased out. i'm guessing the latter. -

What type of music did everyone use for your ceremony?
for the sand ceremony, we used when i'm 64 by the beatles.
recessional was come fly with me by frank sinatra.
pre/postlude was a CD of steel drum music.
it was perfect, and we didn't need a DJ at all.
