Las Caletas Brides ~ Post HERE! (THREAD CLOSED)

[miss di]

thanks for the message, sarah! i figured it was nothing to worry about and the media is just blowing this outta proportion. love that you work at the american school - i went to the american school in japan.

 

andi - welcome back!! looking forward to reading your review and seeing all of your pictures...that teaser sure was a teaser.

 

jaime - rain or swine is suuuuper cute. we are putting a disposable mask in everybody's save the date envelope, and if it's okay with you, i might steal the saying and throw it on the masks!

I"ve been married for almost 2 years now (ack!) and I am still not tired of reading the LC reviews. It always makes me relive my day because I can picture all of teh details as I read. So if I am not bored yet, it's safe to say other girls aren't either - so don't cut it down!

Hey Andi,

Yes...I did have the civil ceremony down there. We actually had it at the boat dock in Nuevo Vallarta and we held the "mini ceremony" on the upperdeck over the dolphin pool. When we were announced husband and wife officially they had two dolphins jump up in the air!

I did feel bad that Nicole & Kelly had to run around. Because of this darn swine flu madness the government told Nicole that they will not perform any civil ceremonies over the weekend. Nicole was not satisfied with that answer so Kelly was given rights to perform the ceremony with Brad there. So Kelly performed the whole thing, Brad blew bubbles while the dolphins jumped...not so bad. It was very simple and I like having the civil & spiritual documents with the same date.

After the civil ceremony Todd went back to the hotel & the girls and I went out to Las Caletas to enjoy.

So that is why Nicole was running around...I felt bad that she had to go through all of that but she made sure that it all worked out!

Jeni - That sounds AWESOME! LOVE IT! lol!

[tvt]

andi you better not cut it down! we relish LC wedding reviews, we all sorta relive our weddings when we read them, so gush on and on and on, we'll love it!

Hey guys...so here is the answer to Jaime's question about what I did for tips...coming from my Las Caletas review thread. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t42131

 

 

Oh, one other thing - did you (or Reggie or whoever) take the $$ to tip Kelley & Nicole? How did that work? I should probably go ask that in the LC thread too... I'm curious about that ~ don't really wanna carry that much money but I guess we'll have to

 

So as you read on my thread...I forgot money...UGH so part of the money that Reggie brought over included tips for Brad and Nicole. My dad or Reggie (I can't remember who) grabbed Brad before he left and gave him about $40 I think. he was really good and just so darn nice!

 

For Nicole, I had wrote out a thank you card and had stuck that in my bag before hand. well it was just so crazy towards the end that I completley spaced giving it to her. So luckily the morning after the wedding a few of my friends and I were scheduled for the Vallarta Adventures Canopy tour that departed from the VA office in Nuevo Vallarta. So I stopped at the desk there that morning and asked if I could leave a few things for Nicole. they said they would set them under her desk. I was worried about the card with $$$ in it so I emailed Nicole and told her it was there and to let me know that she received it. she did get it just fine!

 

Oh PS Jaime...I did leave something for you there too that day and I told Nicole to make sure she brings them out for your wedding day! Nothing big...and probably not enough for your whole group...but none the less I had extra and just hope you can put them to good use!

Thanks for answering my question! Am interested in hearing how other past LC brides handled this also! Did you all just take cash??

OH and Andi - the suspense is killing me!! How fun

[jajajaja]

Jaime- to answer your question I gave cash to Nicole (Kelley wasn't there during my wedding) and we gave $50 to Brad.

 

Andi- adorable teaser pic!!! I love it. Welcome back and congrats!

[JaimeLynne]

Oh, I second Rach's comment - GREAT teaser pic Andi! Love it

[Andi]

oooh good point Rachel...

 

I forgot to mention that I did not leave anything for Kelly as I really had no correspondence with her at all. she met me on the day of the wedding at the boat in the morning but by mid-day I never saw her again (which was not a problem at all). Nicole was the one that I worked with all the way through!
