Erika J's Planning Thread !!!!!

Erika Jâ€s Planning Thread

 

It all started Sept 9th 2008 when E proposed. He made a beautiful dinner at our new kitchen table in our new house as a surprise when I got home from yoga! It was priceless that he went to such lengths for me and I came home a sweaty mess. Literally soaked 100% saturated in sweat from hot yoga.

 

We are getting married at Dreams in Cabo. We saw the location just by googling weddings in Cabo, then thinking how great would it be to get married there. And then eventually figuring out that it was within the budget. Which then led me to the forum and all of you wonderful ladies; it has truly been the biggest blessing of the entire wedding process. There is no way that my wedding would be ½ as nice if it was not for all of you.

 

I have borrowed so many ideas and templates I cannot name everyone, but a few that I have pestered more than everyone else I have to mention, Tammy – for this amazing forum, an being my TA. Andi- for the constant pestering and your templates (all of my wedding stuff) and your constant support, JessicaM – you were so helpful when I was a noob and knew nothing, Ana- the ultimate Dreams bride, Heather – for leaving stuff for me in Cabo, Stacey – for the bouquet jewel, Yael- for always letting me bounce ideas off of you and telling me the truth no matter what and everyone everyone everyone else!!!!

My Veil is a borrowed from my college roommate and our other college roommate wore it first. It is just a plain elbow length, but since I wasnâ€t sure I will be able to wear one, I didnâ€t want to buy one. Now it is something pretty special that will be passed to our 4th roomie and BFF from college.

Now you will have something to compare how amazing I was able to look at my wedding. Hehehehe Truly after all the well wishes from everyone I healed so quickly. Even the plastic surgeon said I was a fast healer. I really believe it was from all the positive energy.

    • 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!
