FI is a surfer and I'm a beach lover so the whole point of us going away is to get married on the beach. I guess I'll be okay as long as I know people may be gawking or in pictures. (which we may not even do pro-pics anyway since we're on an extremely TIGHT budget) That's why I was hoping for a later wedding time, but maybe she can make it later once we are there since she said it was "subject to change." Thanks for all of your input girls!

I saw the beach wedding set up a couple of times over the 2 weeks that I was there and did not like it at all... where you walk down is right where people are sunbathing, and to me they didnt set up the "alter" close enough to the water... there is a ton of beach traffic as well, so getting everyone out of the way is almost impossible... I would be very clear with Carolina to describe the set up to you and the proximity to guests befor you choose the beach ceremony... Honestly, I would go with the gazebo, it is much better for pictures and for the ceremony.. (coming from someone who as well wanted to be married in the sand)

Oh good! Because were doing the same thing and booked it without knowing the new prices... I am excited! I still have to send her our agreement form even though it was already confirmed. I guess I should do that this weekend lol! I have 2 last names, so should I use the one that will be on my hotel reservation/passport? I just hope when they read our vows they use my other last name. Is there a way I can tell her I want my 2nd last name used for our vows and not the one thats on my passport? Do you think it will matter?

[Bella30]

Hey, my TA sent me that agreement and sent it to carolina. I haven't discussed any of the details yet, I think it will all work out when it gets a little closer... I am just glad we got our dates reserved!!! i am sooooooooooo excited too ))

I am booked and confirmed with Caroline for April 30 5 pm:))

 

I am now thinking that it is too late! does anyone know if you can request an earlier time??

[Bella30]

that's funny i resquested 3pm but was thinking maybe I wanted 5 lol.

[natalie1987]

my photographer suggested earlier because more time after for pictures.. but I think now we are just going to get some before the ceremony..which kinda suckss..but i guess the guests wont have to wait longg after the wedding until the reception

 

did you get any information about the restaurants? and decide if you want a private one or not?

I wanted April 28 or 29 at 5pm and she said only April 28 at 2pm was available but the time was subject to change. I think when we get down there we will be able to change it (maybe) but not before then. I think it will all work out! That's funny we are all getting married the same week! Are you doing a ROV ceremony or a legal one?

I haven't discussed any food options but whatever they have is fine with me. I am not picky. I don't even know what the options actually are lol.
