Before we decided to have a destination wedding, we kept going back and forth between him wearing his dress uniform or a tux but could never decide. Now that we are getting married in the Dominican, he will not be wearing them.. much too hot!

We did not do mess dress or blues cuz we thought it would look silly on the beach... though I have seen them that did not look silly but it was not for us at all

Another military wife to be! Well.... for about 2 months :) My FI has just finished a career in the army (20 yrs) and is retiring on a medical pension in June. He just received his 7th medal this week... this one was the "Sacrifice Medal" which was given to him after getting injured on his 4th and last tour....Afghanistan in 2006.

Hello Military Wives!

First of all thank you to all of our military men and woman for the service that they do.

I too am a military wife. We got married a few months before he deployed (a little over a year ago) and have decided to have a destination wedding on his return with family and friends. It is so good to see a thread like this because you all know the what life is like in the military. I wish everyone a happy and beautiful wedding!

Well, we found out this week that he won't be deploying...but that is a whole long story I will tell you later, Jeni. We're both upset though because the extra money from the deployment was going to go to the wedding fund! Ugh!

Oh crap! I mean YAY he will be with you but boo on the no extra income :/

I'm so excited his med board should be coming back next month, and keeping fingers crossed that he will get back on flying status!

Then he can go on TDY more so we can get the extra income haha

Jeni, I hope Tim gets back on flying status! We are waiting on the same thing for Dan. He has been having appointments to check out some stuff, and I'm hoping after this week the flight doc will give him the ok. He seems so sad that he can't fly. sad.gif When we flew to NY this weekend, he seemed so happy to be back in the air, even if it wasn't for work, haha!

Hello ladies. I too am a military wife to be. However I'm also a member of the military. I'm getting ready to deploy to Afghanistan myself in the next couple of weeks. So wedding planning for me has been pretty crazy trying to get as much done as possible before I deploy. Thank goodness for the internet! I'll be able to keep planning and in touch with my guests during my 8 month deployment.

    • 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!
