Ocean Turquesa & Coral Brides?


Recommended Posts

Hi Ladies!

I am back from our OCT wedding!  I will report as soon as I can. Our flight was cancelled yesterday so I am running on 3 hours of sleep!eek.gif

 

I was able to peak at Sandy's wedding, which was devine! Feel free to e-mail me any questions: kln8205@gmail.com

I'd be happy to help!

 

P.S. I do not have the exact wording for the civil ceremony, but here is the brief rundown. 

 

Civil Ceremony: (10-15 minutes)

Processional

Presentation of the bride

Welcome and gathering words

Reflection of marriage and love (He read a traditional piece from Mexican weddings)

Witnesses/Bride/Groom sign marriage certificate

Declaration of consent (Saying I DO)

Presentation of Rings (We did not have to say anything- just exchange rings.)

Pronouncement of husband and wife

Introduction of husband and wife

Recessional

 

*I was not aware that the civil ceremony could not be deviated from.  Ana said it has to be scripted.  You may be able to try to ask them to add something in, but I don't know if they can or will.  I was not able to meet with the officiant before to ask.

The only thing I had to say during the ceremony was " I Do."  I was a little disappointed I didn't repeat traditional vows, but since I didn't meet with him beforehand, I did not know what to expect!

@ lisam I live in near Mtl (Canada,Qc) I did a couple of stores but I found every thing I need (even the shoes) at Moores http://www.mooresclothing.com/mor/index.jsp without getting rip off! looks great but I heard it worn fast (I don't care).

 

@ Andrea yes i did! actually it was my second stay at this hotel. I was there in 2009 and when I saw it was such a great place to get married I didn't hesitate to go back.

 

the + : Food (mikes coffee shop is such a great add on), rooms, lobby,pools, beach sand, 25 min from airport and off course ANNA!

 

the - : the seeds, entertainment (night), no reservation at restaurant

 

@ kleenotes we did a civil ceremony and actually it last around 25 minutes. I remember Anna ask us if we did want to do the traditional vows during the ceremony but we did'nt want too ( we wanted to do it in privacy on the lobby terrace... even if they were in french so probably nobody would had understand them at the beach lol)

 

Here is a couple of pictures of the ceremony, you can see the Justice of Peace, they ask for the fingerprint also! that was pretty fun!

    • 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!
