Annette and Cesar's Wedding Journal NOW Jade 5-31-14


Recommended Posts

Hello All!

 

Well I guess I will start my journal with our story.  We met through mutual friends about 6 years ago when working at a movie theater.  Although the chemistry wasn't there from the beginning, it gradually started sparking as we got to know each other. Our first date (def the BEST DATE i have ever been on lol) he took me to walk on the beach and just get to know each other.  On the second we took the ferry to NY and went sight seeing. Needless to say I was head over heels lol! A year and a half later we had a baby girl! Although it was unexpected- she was a blessing and became our world.  I wont say it was a walk in the park because we were still very young, but we definitely remained strong for each other.  He stood by me and gave me 100% of his support while i was trying to get my BA and eventually landed a good job and i did the same for him.  

 

On New Years 2012 i was unexpectedly surprised when in front of our entire family Cesar got down on one knee and proposed to me  and i of course said YES! Shortly after I began calling venues and vendors... and our budget kept increasing and our guest list was even worse.  After about a year of being engaged we decided a destination wedding would be the way to go.  It cut our budget in half and we saw it as a unique way for us to be married- especially since we've been unique from the very beginning.

 

So we after ALOT of research we decided on the NOW Jade Riviera Cancun Resort.  We booked our date for May 31, 2014 and are expecting about 25 ppl so far!  

 

I recently ordered a proof of my save the dates so as soon as i order them I will make sure to upload the on here, as well as any other cool DIY or wedding related items!!!!

 

Happy planning ladies!!!

Annette

Yay! Congratulations! Im a NOW Jade bride also, November 2014. I'm very excited and just sent out my STDs today :) I can't wait until I get into the heart of the planning.  We also have about 25 guests, and possibly some children (our daughter for sure).  I'm still feeling around for exactly the idea i'm going for with the wedding. I know what colors i want to use, and i know i don't want to be really "beachy" what are you doing?

@@Stack02 we're using a dark purple and silver I believe, or more of a pewter? I'm still very undecided on colors. I originally wanted an orange and fuchsia but it seems like alot of people are using those colors so we decided to mix it up and go with something less "beachy"

    • 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!
