Well the time has come to post my planning thread

Jamie and I met when we were 5yrs old, we lived in the same street and use to play together. I always thought he was pretty cool then as he had real pictures in frames and not posters in his play shed. Well he moved house when he was 10 and our friendship drifted apart. When I was 22 both of our friends started hanging out together and it wasn’t long before the flirting started. Within a couple of weeks Jamie and I began going out. After our first holiday abroad together in Mexico I fell pregnant and we had our son Harry who is now 11. We moved into our house two months before having Harry. Christmas day 2006 we’d opened all our presents when Jamie & Harry disappeared upstairs, they came back with a shoe-box sized wrapped present. When I opened it both Jamie and Harry got down on one knee and said ‘will you marry me’. I burst into tears saying ‘yes’ then immediately phoned my mum to tell her the news. I planned on a short engagement but Jamie had other plans: extention, holidays, oh yes and another baby. In 2008 we had our daughter Hollie who is now 3. So with no more excuses in 2009 we decided that 2011 would be the year that we got married and OMG where has that 2 years of planning gone!!!!!

We always said that we would get married abroad (can’t be doing with the hassle here). So we got the brochures and went round the world but kept coming back to Mexico, very apt as it was our first holiday abroad. So we agreed Mexico it is and we just fell in love with the Sensatori Resort.

Well we have 23 of us going which we are over the moon about! Everyone I want at my wedding is going. I have 4 big bridesmaids (my 3 cousins and Jamie sister) Hollie is our flower girl (and bound to steal the show on the day), my nephew Oliver is my page boy and Harry is Jamie’s best man (can’t wait for the speech he’s been watching Gavin and Stacey to pick up tips from Smithy!!)

We get married on Tuesday  2nd August  on the beach at the Sensatori Resort and we have our AHR on Sunday 28th August at Lords Golf and Country Club.

Okay now where do we start, the most important thing:

      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!
