For those brides with weddings during this time, I hope for the best for you.  Fingers crossed that the projected path is off.  And for those of us with weddings soon after (mine is a week from Saturday) I hope any damage is minimal.

Try not to stress too much :(  We can't control the weather.  Keep in mind, the news/media will most likely blow this out of proportion because bad news sells.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed for everyone.  We leave for Playa del Carmen 10/31, but four of our guests are schedule to arrive 10/29.  I'm hoping for safe, stress-free travels for all of our guests and all of yours.  

 

ps - we are going to let our guests find out about Rina on their own when they watch the news tonight/tomorrow.  We figured there is no sense in sending an email or text to the guests because we are optimistic and don't want everyone stressing us out.

I'm on the verge of an anxiety attack. We (in theory) leave for Cancun on Thursday. Wedding is on 11.1.11... I am hoping that's going to be enough days in between. If the tail end of the trip and latter half is still fantastic, then I will have no qualms. I am just really stressed. More than for myself, I'm actually really worried about our guests who have paid all that money and arranged for time off to come to the wedding. Even in these natural disaster cases, it's not easy to reschedule everything. Not impossible.. just not easy. 

 

Does anyone remember what happened a few months back in August? I think there was a hurricane forecasted to hit Jamaica, but I can't recall any of the details and if it really came to fruition. Maybe time for googling skills... 

 

Serious good vibes, hopes, and prayers to my brides out there!!!

Forgot to mention, we're calling our group over the next day or two so that we can all make a decision together. Our group is so small and close knit that it's important to us that it's a group decision. Not that everyone has to adhere to our decision, but at least everyone will have a say in things.

I wish I could give you a big hug.  I am right there with you on the anxiety attack - all of the excitement about the wedding is gone and nothing but stress is left behind.

 

Have you contacted your airline to see what they are saying?  Please keep me up to date on what your plans are, because I have certainly got my fingers crossed for you.

      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!
