Oh....I almost forgot...Shoes.....How could I forgot the ladies shoes...

 

I had a hard time finding turquoise sandals that were not too high...I am already 5'11 and I did not want to be too tall.  Just when I had given up finding the turquoise sandals...reading a thread on here about shoes...I checked out VictoriaSecret.com...and Voila....i found them...

400

 

For the ladies shoes...I was lucky to catch a BOGO sale at Payless

400

Our shoes actually matched perfectly....we were going for the "Grecian Goddess" look........

Ok...where was I....oh..DIY...

 

I am not much of a DIYer but....being on this site changed that. 

 

400

My DIY sand ceremony set (Cost me less than $8.00 to make...I made another bottle for my daughter to participate)

400

My DIY Ring Box.....(Cost $1.50 to make)

 

OOT Bags (Yes....Yes....I too got caught up with OOT Bags)

 

700

My Cancun Survival Kit (From the talented people on BDW!!)

These were very well received

 

Travel Mugs (I just had to get them)

700

I ordered 25 from a seller on ebay...

 

MY OOT BAGS

700

Dollar Tree Baby!!! I loved these bags from the moment I saw them

 

Maracas....well..we are getting married in Mexico....so...

700

These were ordered from Amols.com (I put the ribbons on)

 

Flowers...I knew the resort would be kind of expensive for the flowers...so I ordered (again...thanks to this site) real touch flowers from SabellaDesigns.com

700

Kim Zarobsky did an AMAZING....job with our flowers....I cannot thank her enough.....

 

Now to put it all together......

 

I guess I never mentioned our wedding date...eek.gif...We got married on July 4th, 2012 at 4:00...but.....

We actually got legally married on Valentines Day, February 14, 2012....His Mom is older and could not travel with us.  It was important to us that she share in our union so we got married by our county clerk in a special Valentines Day ceremony...

 

700

We exchanged rings but put them away after...This was a very happy day for us.  I actually cried more this day than on our wedding day....Getting married ahead of time in no way diminished our excitement for our big day.....

 

MEXICO BOUND!!!!

 

With the help from this site....I created the attached newsletter for our guest....We were expecting 19 people.

 

 

 

 

 

See Part Tres....for the Grand Finale!!!!

      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!
