Yeah, I'm a little confused about why his entire extended family needs to write him a letter for a church retreat. What is the purpose? And if people are supposed to be giving you advice or encouragement...shouldn't they be the people you actually spend your time with, who know what's going on in your life? I don't get it. . .

 

What I DO get, however, is Maria's delightful response!! Omg...totally LMAO when I read that!! "How 'bout that Psalm 69"?!??! Like "how bout those yankees" or something...TOO FUNNY!

 

If it makes any of you guys feel any better about being bombarded w/ religion/religious beliefs. . .I very nearly cancelled my wedding because my absurdly religious conservative parents threw a bitch fit about me inviting my cousin, Jen and her girlfriend to the wedding. They said that if they were there (in all their sinning glory - my own sarcastic words) not only would my parents not come...but they would not contribute to the wedding at all. Which sucked because they had given me 8k for it when we first started planning. I flipped out, told them to take their damn money and not plan on attending my wedding since they couldn't manage an evening among "the sinners". (massive irony here...David and I were living together at the time - also VERY against their rules. yet they were still willing to pay for the wedding etc.) I didn't talk to my parents for at least 2 months. Everything we were planning came to a screeching halt as David and I tried to figure out what we needed to do. The minister who preformed our ceremony & did our pre-marital counseling (who also happens to be their pastor) ended up talking to them for me. He thought they were being pretty extreme and actually sat them down and told them that. After they had some meetings w/ him and David and I met w/ him a few times...they finally came to us and apologized for everything and gave me full control of the wedding...handed over the money -as a gift this time- and didn't say another word during the entire process. It took me a long time to get over all that. I'm SO not supportive of forcing your beliefs on people like that.

 

Sorry..that was a pretty brutal hijack Maria...It's actually kind of nice to get all that off my chest though! I SO wish I'd had you girls around when I was planning my wedding!!!

I actually wondered about that myself! I thought maybe it's like the military---- they "break" you so they can "mold" you into what they want/need. It's so much easier to complete the brain-washing at that point! hehehehe

That's the great thing--- he "gets" me and has the exact same sense of humor that I do (only he keeps it coming all day long, every day!). :)

He cracked up when I sent the letter to him at work...


But, alas---- he killed the idea of me actually sending the email.

(So instead I sent it to every *other* member of his family, so the Catholics could get a good chuckle!) hehehehe...

      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!
