  1. You can email me and I'll give you my name to add me to facebook. Thats where all my pix are. Or, I'll try to figure out how to upload them here.....lol We didnt use the professional photographer, eacj of our guests had a camera, and they took amazing photos. And I love seeing their perspective on the whole day. one thing I would recommend, is booking a private tour to Havana! If your group is at least 12 people, they will give you your own bus, and your own tour guide! Its well worth it! just let him know you are most interested in shopping!! lol HUGE market in Havana!! but then again.....theres a HUGE market in Varadero too! lol DH and I took scooters to the market, and ate at a really cute restaurant across the street, and you park your scooters across the street too. Or you can take the crazy double decker bus, but we found it super awesoem to go out and explore just the 2 of us on the scooters. We also stopped along the way at the bat caves!! SCARY!!! lol I did the jeep tour with my girl friends and it was well worth it! I had onyl driven standard a couple times and we stalled alot, but the tour guys just laughed! lol we had a great time, and swimming in the cave was amazing, and the snorkling was really great too! oh, and as far as snorkling at SLS, its not the greatest right along the beach, so take a KAT out to the middle of the ocean, I think it costs like 15 bucks....super fun! The wedding itself was really beautiful. We chose to get married at the gazebo. We visited it every day b4 the wedding and after. lol just the 2 of us. We could actually see it from our hotel room. So it was pretty cool, getting ready in our room, and going out on the balcony to watch DH waiting for me. Bring a cd of the music you want to play as you are wlaking down the isle, we chose Metalica "Nothing Else Matters". haha we came across it the night b4 on our mixed cd, now I cry whenever I hear it. lol And also the songs you want for the first dance, and all the other "traditional" wedding stuff. After the wedding, we took photos, I love my photos, we actually made a book from blurb.com after, and we used that as our guest book for our at home reception. I left some pages blank at the end for signatures, kinda like a year book. And blurb.com sent me a congradulations letter with the book, I found that to be really cute. I guess they looked at my pictures while they were printing it. lol funny! The dinner was really funny! it was in the steak house!! lol so there were pictures of cows all over. but the lighting in there gave our photos a kinda 50's feel to them, so it worked out. We had fun. And the cake was TOO BIG! lol If I could decide over again, I would chose the Cuban restaurant to have our wedding dinner in. Its more open to the outside, and there is a band playing music, the food in each restaurant is great. In 2 weeks, DH and I are going to Dom Rep.....I hope we have a great time like we did at SLS! I never get tired of talking about my wedding, so if you have any more questions, let me know!!
  2. ya, Id love to put pix up, but I dont know how....hmmmm.
  3. WOW! The Sirenis LaSalina is amazing!! It exceeded my expectations! We had a great time! Our suite was huge, we partied in it every night with our friends, and it was right on the beach! 2 bathrooms, a living room, and huge bedroom, a bar, a nice shower stall, a huge bathtub, 2 tvs, great balcony. The food was good. We enjoyed meal time. The snack bar at the quite pool was the best. 2 swim up bars, one with a really cool waterfall cave. The pools are huge. The beach is great, we always had chairs. And they were comfy. The beach towels are really big and fluffy. You can exchange them for clean ones everyday. Its cool that the resort is really big, cuz it spaces out the people, sometimes it felt like we were the only ones on the resort. The golf carts were helpful when we needed to get somewhere fast, but other than that, it was nice to walk around alone. The shows were fun and entertaining. There were bars everywhere, the drinks were good, maybe alittle too much rum, but you ask for "pekito rum" and its really good. The people who work there are really nice, always seemed to be happy, and they were always working on maintaining the grounds. A good sign. I dont have any negative things to say about Sirenis LaSalina. The wedding co-ordinator was really special, she did everyhting I asked. She was such a sweet heart. Her name is Susanna. Let me know if you have anymore questions, I highly recomend the Sirenis LaSalina!
