[Andi]

program, maraca and tears of joy on each chair:

 

table set up:

we brought our own toasting glasses, they were a gift at my shower

the boxes were filled with the personalized M&M's

 

couple more coming...

[Andi]

these tables were set up to the right of the bar, later in the night this is where the tequila tasting table was also

the box just in front of the green umbrella was for the postcards, we did a postcard guestbook

 

the bags were for people to put all their wedding shwag in (maraca, pashmina, cake, m&m's)

more still...

[Andi]

this vase was on our sweetheart table, put my bouquet in it during dancing and stuff

matches on the bar:

crown, we bought on our own and gave it to Nicole, DH loves crown and wanted at the wedding (even though I dont think he really drank any of it!)

 

tequila table...i went back and forth A LOT on even having this...SOOOOO Glad we did, it was a hit!

 

cake and cake boxes

 

this is a good pic of how they change the ceremony set up into the dance floor

 

 

and finally....an LC at night pic, ahhhhh you can't beat that!

 

 

ok i think that is the big stuff....seriously let me know if any of you B2B's have any questions, before I was old and married I couldn't wait for the LC brides to post info like this it helped me a lot!

Hi Andi!

I love your reception set up- the pop of color is awesome! I had two quick questions about some of the items you posted:

1. Where did you find your lime green parasols?
2. Was it cold enough for your guests to use the pashminas? (I'm getting married in December & don't know if it gets 'cold' enough there at that time to justify the purchase to my FI).

Thanks!
Jessica

Where did you find your lime green parasols? I found them at Hobby Lobby - I had one pink, one orange and one green one...how many do you need? i actually left them there! and if you notice there were 2 orange ones at the end of the aisle on the ceremony set up....I *think* Nicole has a couple there. not sure though you should ask! 2. Was it cold enough for your guests to use the pashminas? (I'm getting married in December & don't know if it gets 'cold' enough there at that time to justify the purchase to my FI). honestly it was not cold in april! however the boat ride back got a bit chilly, just a bit....I too waivered on buying them thinking nobody would use them but then on the boat I saw one of my friends all bundled in it and she told me "i am so glad you thought of these...I would be freezing right now without it!" so that alone justified my purchase on that Also I bought them in China town in NY on a trip there for like $3-4 each so really they weren't too bad on $$$. Hmmm I did my site visit in December, I am trying to remember, the weather was def. warm in the day but I think it did cool down just a bit at night. Thanks! Jessica

hope those answers help!

Which one is true? So can only have a ceremony with a minister? I’m confused! Please help me!

so to get legally married in Mexico there are certain restrictions. like for example you have to be in the country for 3 business days before the wedding, you have to get a blood test done down there, umm i think there is more it but those are the big ones. So i think it is safe to say that MOST mexico brides legally get married in the states then go to mexico for the symbolic ceremony.

in regards to Caletas, again I think they can do the legal ceremony there but you should check with Nicole or Kelly. I think I remember nicole telling me something about it but I can't remember totally

I just got a reply from a WC regarding legal ceremonies at LC and this is what she said:

 

"Our ceremonies on Las Caletas are spiritual ceremonies, meaning, not legal ceremonies. Due to the logistics of Las Caletas, the judge who performs the civil ceremony (i.e. legal ceremony) will not go to Las Caletas, so if any of our clients require a legal ceremony, it is something that we do separate and in our offices in Nuevo Vallarta before the big ceremony on Las Caletas.

 

The good news is, is that our main offices are located in Nuevo Vallarta, in the state of Nayarit, and here we do not have the same, strict guidelines for civil ceremonies as Puerto Vallarta (Jalisco state). I can arrange for you and Adam to meet with the judge here at our main offices to do the civil ceremony the day before or even the morning of your spiritual wedding at Las Caletas. What is also good news is that the marriage and morality class is not required here, meaning that you will only need to be here 4-5 days in advance - just enough time to do your blood tests and get the results back."
