@@WPGBride17, @@deecol, @@ashhtayy, @@snswedding2016 Thanks for your comments :) I'm glad a few of you mentioned the program fans. I love them. I don't think we need a program, to be honest, but I think the fans will be needed and I think they are super cute!

 

@@Wafflesmom, @@acw271011 Please, ladies, do not apologize! We all have lives and it's tough to keep up with everything! Thank you for your well wishes :) I hope you are doing okay, Anne. 

 

@@calgarybride2015, @ Thanks for the send-offs! :)

 

@@krystalball I'm glad my lists helped! They sure have helped me. That sucks about your apartment - not what you need right now, for sure. Are you feeling better? I don't know if I will remember to wish you a safe trip and a wonderful wedding before you go, but please know that I'm sending good vibes your way! 

 

Alright, I think that catches me up on all the comments. This is it ladies! We leave tomorrow. Some of our guests left today. It's weird. I feel like I should be doing more or feeling more stressed, but it's been pretty relaxing the last couple of days.

 

My last day at work was Thursday. When I arrived, there was a gift basket on my desk with a balloon, a GC for one of my fav restaurants, a scratch lottery ticket (I keep telling people I'm going to the win the lottery and not come back from the honeymoon LOL) and 7 (!!!) bottles of wine.

Such an awesome gift and it really made me feel special. All day, people kept dropping by my desk to congratulate me and wish us well. And surprisingly, I had my work stuff under control (or at least I think & hope I did!). I even had time to do a few wedding things while at work, as I'd finished pretty much everything by about 3. 

 

After work, I went to get my hair done (cut & colored). One of my best friends goes to the same hair dresser, so he had scheduled us to overlap and she brought some bubbles that we drank while having our hair done. So cute. 

 

Yesterday I took my e-ring into be cleaned and picked up some make up (including Laura Mercier powder!) at Sephora. Then I got waxed & lasered to the tune of $375. GULP! Granted, I am pretty much hairless now, except my head LOL. Then finally onto get my mani & pedi (both shellac - thanks for the recommendation, Kim and others). For my mani, I did a really light pink with silver sparkles. My toes are coral.

Jeff left work early yesterday so we finished up a few things at home, cracked open a bottle of wine and then went out for some drinks. His best man and the BM's girlfriend ended up meeting us there for a bit as well. It was really fun and I got really drunk LOL.

 

Today we packed. Well, I packed. He had packed yesterday for the most part. But we were done by lunch and then went for a walk in the beautiful weather we are having. And that's about it. I've been futzing around, doing odds & ends for the rest of the afternoon. I think I have everything. I hope I have everything. I've got the important stuff, anyhow. The rest we can live without or buy if we really need to. 4 suitcases plus the dress bag. Not bad (but remember I'm not bringing much decor).

I'm a bit worried that I have missed something, because I feel too relaxed and this seems too easy. Hopefully it's not too good to be true! There are still a couple of things I need to do, but we can figure them out on the fly:

  • Book transfer from resort to CUN (can do this on site at the resort or just take a cab)

  • Finalize wedding day timeline (this is pretty much done, just want to go over it again)

  • Write thank you speech

  • File taxes (not wedding related, but they are due soon after we get back - might do that tonight, or it can wait until we're back)

So I think that's it! I want to thank all of you ladies for your help, support & encouragement over the past year. It's been amazing to get to "know" you. What a journey we've all been on! I will try to post some updates while we're away, so please keep an eye out here!

The Dress   I very unexpectedly said yes to the dress today!  I wanted a short dress and was actually leaning towards a BM dress. Given that you don't need as much time to order BM dresses, I wasn'

Well, the new TA seems alright. She's been responsive to my emails and just emailed to our group about the final payment deadline in early December (well, I know at least 3 of us have received them).

@vancouverpetunia  I said it already - you got this girl! I can't believe it either that you leave tomorrow! Where does the time go? The whole group that started here last year is almost all gone now.... makes me sad in a way.

 

I know you're going to have a wonderful week and an awesome wedding day! Can't wait to hear all about it and of course all about Costa Rica! You've got it all together for sure! You just sound so relaxed!! lol

 

By the time you actually get back we'll be just a couple of weeks from heading to Vancouver so I really hope the good weather sticks around! My son has been talking about it so fingers are crossed!

 

All the best! It will be everything you hoped for!

We're here! View from our room. We were upgraded from preferred club tropical view to preferred club ocean view! We did ask at check in, though. Not sure if we would have gotten it otherwise. Now the sun just needs to come out. (It poured yesterday and last night. Looks good starting tomorrow, though.) Thanks for the well wishes, everyone.

      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!
