Michelle2011 *bride from the UK" planning thread *lots of pix* :o)


Recommended Posts

 

OMG its really my time to post my planning thread!! Iâ€ve been on this site for near on 2yrs and I have made so many wonderful friends and had so much advice and help from so many people. The girls on the 2011 thread, the UK thread and the Barcelo thread I couldnâ€t have done it without you all. Iâ€ve had ups and downs and everyone on here is so supportive.. I LOVE this site!! So a massive thank you to everyone (especially Nicy, my bride partner in crime ;o) thank you so much :o)

 

Ok so FI and I met 10yrs ago at a mutal friends party, we didnâ€t get together straight away as I have a little boy from a previous relationship so didnâ€t want to rush things. A year of getting to know each other we finally got together :o) FI proposed on a beach in Rhodes in 2004. We did it all a bit back to front. I already had my son Harrison, we bought a flat together then a house which needed lots of major work doing so that took up a few years (and all our savings). I then fell pregnant with my daughter Scarlett and so getting married is the final piece to our puzzle.

 

We always knew we wanted to marry in Mexico (never been before but just knew) so we researched hotels for around 5mths and just fell in love with the Barcelo Maya Palace and knew that was were we would marry.

 

We have 23 people coming with us. I have two of my best friends as BMâ€s and my sister is my MOH. Scarlett is flowergirl and my son Harrison (13yrs old now) will be giving me away :o) FIâ€s childhood friend is his bestman :o)

 

We leave in 2 weeks time :o)

 

We marry on 1st June 2011 and have our AHR on 18th June 2011 

 

Ok so here we go with the pic's..... first up "THE DRESS"

    • 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!
