Hi everyone! I am getting married in Cabo San Lucas, MX on October 4, 2013! We are both sooo excited! We live in Anchorage, Alaska and at first looked into getting married around there. Weddings are crazy expensive! After the 2nd venue we looked at we decided to get married in Cabo at the resort (RIU Santa Fe) we've stayed at 3 different times. So instead of paying all that money for one day that only my fiance will really remember we decided to just do a vaca with family and friends! Everyone is SOOO excited! My friends are literally counting down the days along with me. We are getting married at 2pm on the beach. We are just gonna do the ceremony and cake at the resort because we are going to have the reception on a sunset cruise at 5:30pm. Then after that we will just stay downtown and party it up! We are paying for 4 nights for the bridal party which ends up being 7 couples. We figured since they are willing to fly down to our wedding that's the least we could do. I have already bought my wedding dress! Got it last October actually. I maaay have been a little excited I also got a reception dress that I will wear on the boat and downtown. My bridesmaids already have their dresses as well. I picked a bright poppy color because I wanted them to stand out against the blue ocean and tan sand. I finally got my fiance to agree on his outfit last month! Why does it take them so long to even start looking at these things? He received his vest and pants so now we just need to go looking for a shirt and tie. He is going to go with one of his groomsmen to pick out their attire. I still need to get the ootds together. Still not sure what exactly I am going to do for that. I did get a bunch of wayfarer sunglasses with neon rims though! They are so awesome! I am going to put those on the guests seats right before the wedding. I also got a bunch of glow stick bracelets so that when we do the bachelor & bachelorette party everyone can wear one so we can always find each other. Same for the after party after the reception. We also booked our photographer. Her pictures look amazing on her website so we are super excited to see how ours turn out. Anyways, I know this was a suuuper long post. Sorry about that! Congratulations to all the other October brides! Can't wait to hear how everyone's weddings went!
