Why did you choose to have a Destination Wedding rather than a traditional one?

That is a whole nother time. Sorry to go on and on.
I think a vow renewal is amazing. 25 years is almost unheard of anymore! Congrats to you and the love that you share.

Thirdly, I've been a bridesmaid 8 times and every bride has said to me that they wished they had more time to just enjoy their weddings. They felt they spent too much time talking to invited guests they hardly knew. Our wedding will be large for a destination wedding (50-100) but I'll have a whole week to spend time with all of our guests. Lastly, everyone who makes the journey with us I will know is there because they want to be and not because they feel obligated to come because we invited them

someone who has been a bridemaid as much as me! (I'm signed up for my 9th). This was a big one for me. I wouldn't want to do the mingling the couple has to do at a large wedding. I have found that as a BM we get to have fun & dance & do whatever we want & the bride is off small talking with a 3rd cousin twice removed.

I think we'll have 28 guests total for the whole weekend. I wanted no more than 30 so it's working out perfectly.

I would like to see local wedding tradition change so people could get away with just inviting 20-40 guests without ruffling feathers. Often people are just there because they feel obligated & they were just invited out of obligation. What's the point?

Why we chose a DW...

-first off it is more affordable for us since we are paying for this ourselves

-we are in desperate need of a vacation

-I have always wanted to get married on a beach

-I just want the VIP at our wedding, I don't want a family reunion of people I haven't even met before

-most importantly we are both hispanic and we attended a wedding for his family once and there had to be at least 300 people there. Now add my 200 family members plus all our friends, yikes! No thank you.

I thinks a vowel renewal is a great idea, especially when your children are grown up and can be involved. I think this is why i waited so long to get married, so that my children are grown enough to be involved and remember it

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
