So my husband and I are having our vow renewal on our 7th anniversary. Since we were young with limited funds when we got married, we decided to upgrade our rings! First of all, he never wears his, partly because he is on the flight line (USAF) and can't wear it, so he got used to not wearing it at all. Whereas, I wore mines everyday, but I stopped wearing mines when I lost a whole bunch of weight and they didn't fit anymore and I never went to get them resized. So, we went Saturday to get our "rings", I upgraded to a very nice set that HE picked out, but instead of him getting a ring, he wanted a watch... not a cheap watch either... an Omega Watch, which was $3K. I argued that TRADITIONALLY people get rings.. then he said .. we aren't TRADITIONAL people... touche! So, as a compromise, he has to get the ring engraved with our wedding date or whatever else I can think of to distinguish it as a "Wedding Watch". This is going to make for an interesting "Exchange of Rings" during the ceremony.

Congrats on your 7th anni! Hey- whatever works for you guys! I don't see the point on spending money on a ring he can't wear, so a watch sounds more practical of a purchase. It will be interesting, "Please present the ring.... and watch." "I exchange this....watch as a sign of my promise to love, honor and cherish you." LOL- I love it!

Aw... I love the watch idea! BTW Rachel... I am leaving for Cancun in 1 week and 5 days too!!!! (well, actually 4 days in 7 minutes).

I'm going to my future In laws at the Royals Sands and our site visit at Dreams Cancun. Hope you have fun!

      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!
