Natasha's Review - eek - long!

Ha Ha - you all will one day know what agony it is to wait for the damn pro photos.

 

Rebecca, that photo that I posted was #503! We weren't even through cocktail hour at that point. Wow - that's a lot of photos for Dino to go through!

 

Shawn and I actualy wrote our own ceremony - start to finish - so we decided not to have the judge and just have Maye officiate. I loved it.

 

I never really thought about getting married much as a kid, but I remember (now, after the wedding) once when I was a teenager sitting at a long, boring wedding thinking, "these things are all the same and they're getting preached to instead of saying what they are actually agreeing to - why don't people do their own?'' Now I'm really glad we went the route we did. The whole thing. Having it in Mexico, being barefoot on the sand, really limiting the guest list to our close friends and family... That's the only ceremony I would have wanted.

maye's husband is a minister and officiated our ceremony. We picked the standard vows that Maye had and we had him read the lace ceremony (but just didn't wrap the lace, etc. We just like the wording. It was funny, it must have been the first time th minister read the ceremony, because he kept fumbling over his words, almost like he kept losing his place on the page. A couple times there were long pauses in between sentences. One of which was when he said "Marc do you take..........(long pause)........................ (still pausing)........ Rebecca to be your lawfully wedded wife...".

 

Our ceremony was quick...someone clocked it at 6 minutes!!! I was thinking , it felt like at least 20! The guests weren't complaining thought, because it was HOT! Speaking of, I like the umbrella idea Natasha. Good thinking!

He didn't. I'll ping him. I think that, now, he's remembering all the good things and the bad have slipped away...

 

If you're considering CDM, let me know. I can give you a fair assessment. My recommendation will depend upon when you are wanting to have your wedding (if I really think the construction will be done by then) and the kinds of things that you want to do/care about. It really was the best setting for us - I wouldn't have picked another place given the look/feel which is what we and our guests ultimately remember. I would also say that none of our guests were aware of our issues and they all really liked the place and the service providers.

    • 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!
