3. Do you have children? Nope, not yet.


4. Did you think you would marry the person you are with now? Not when we first met (I had just gotten over a bad breakup so wasn't really in that right mindset). But a year and a half later when we connected again, it was pretty clear there was something special there :)


5. Were you ever engaged or married to someone other than the person you are with now? No.

6. Do you want a garden wedding, beach wedding, or the traditional church wedding? The garden gazebo is right beside the beach so it's the best of both worlds.

7. Where did you/will you get married? Grand Palladium Bavaro, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.


8. First dance - classic waltz, slow and sexy, or fast and spicy? Not sure if we're going to even do the bride-groom first dance. If we do, it'll be slow and sexy.


9. How many guests did you/will you have? 43 people are booked.

10. Do you want/did you have an extravagant wedding or a simple wedding? Combination of both - a happy medium.

11. Vows - traditional or something you make up on your own? We're doing the legal ceremony so it's fairly traditional. We're adding our own personalized sand ceremony at the end.

13. Is/was your wedding/reception at a hotel? We're privatizing the beach restaurant at the resort for the dinner and reception.

14. When did you/will you get married - sunrise, mid-day, sunset? Mid-afternoon...we had no choice about this due to the judge's schedule. It was either that or 10 am :P


15. Did you/will you have your reception outdoors or indoors? Indoors but the restaurant is open-air.

16. Plan every detail down to the napkins or let someone else decide? My fiance and I decided some things and the rest we've left to the WC.


17. How did/will the bride enter?  From a garden pathway to the gazebo. My Mom and Dad are walking with me.


18. Song to walk down the aisle to: The Spanish trio band will be playing.


19. Song to make your exit: We're not really having a formal exit...there will be champagne and the cake at the gazebo right after the ceremony.


20. Will you/did you have a solemn ceremony or a light one? Light and happy :)


21. At what age did you think you would get married? I always wanted to get married when I was 30, just thought it was the perfect age. Low and behold it's worked out that way, lol.

22. Who to invite - practically everyone or a select few? We invited almost everyone but only about half are able to come (which is still more than we expected!).


23. Wedding menu - fine dining or simply delicious? Combination of both.


24. Champagne or red wine? Both along with white wine, beer and probably some fruity tropical drinks at the reception afterwards!

25. Honeymoon right after the wedding, awhile after the wedding, or no honeymoon? We are staying an extra week but my fiance refuses to call it a honeymoon because he wants us to go to Vegas for our 1 year anniversary/honeymoon the year after, lol!


26. Was your/will your honeymoon be at a place special to you both or somewhere brand new to you both? New but still special :)


27. Who will pay for the bills? My fiance and I.

    • 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!
