My step-father (who i consider my father because he raised me since i was 7 and i don't speak to my biological father) was diagnosed with parkinsons diesese 12 years ago. Over the summer he became very sick and was in a coma and on a ventilator for over a week. We thought he would not come out of it. He did come out of it and it was a miracle. He is now in a nursing home because he needs round the clock care. He was not able to walk at all after he came out of the coma but he has been working very hard in physical therapy and is able to stand with the help of a walker.

 

He will not be able to attend our wedding because he can't leave the nursing home. I was very upset that he would not be able to walk me down the aisle and that we would not be able to dance.

 

Anyway on thanksgiving my family had planned to all gather at the nursing hom eto have dinner. My mother and step father surprised me by making it a mini wedding celebration since the family would all be there. My step father was dressed in a tux and was able to dance with me!! My uncle and FI stood behind him for support. Needless to say the whole room was sobbing. Even the nurses that work there came to watch! I was so happy that we were able to have our dance even if it wasn't on my wedding day.

We had booked our wedding in the beginning of the summer and then got engaged at the end of the summer( i know a little backwards )...with the whole thing with my stepfather happening in the middle. It was so hard on me and my family but FI was there by my side the whole time supporting me in anything me and my family needed (gotta love him!)

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      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!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      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!
