My fiancee and I have been engaged for a while now (about a year and half) so it's been a while since I've thought about our engagement. With a trip back to Chicago coming up this weekend, I've an excuse to bring it up and relive it a bit!

 

He was working near Chicago at the time and I went down to meet up with him for the weekend and celebrate his birthday. I arrived at the fancy hotel we were going to be staying at before he did and he had arranged for me to have a massage at the spa in the hotel. When he arrived, we went to the hotel lounge/restaurant for a Mediterrean dinner then headed back to the room. When we got back, there were flowers and champagne waiting. Since it was his birthday, I figured he decided that's how he wanted to celebrate, not thinking that it had anything to do with me! I gave him his gifts then he got down on one knee and proposed! It was a huge surprise - what better cover than your own birthday! Clearly, I got the better gift that year =) Since this happened on the Friday night, we had the rest of the weekend to just enjoy our new status. We even waited until Sunday to make calls to family and friends so we could enjoy the moment just the two of us. What a great weekend!

 

This coming weekend (Valentine's!) we are meeting up in Chicago again and spending a night at the same hotel. How perfect is that! Life moves so fast - I think it will be a great chance to reflect on all our years together =)

 

Happy Valentines Day to everyone celebrating with a loved one!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      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!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      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!
