Mexico Cancelled? We still had fun!

[Shay2679]

I have an awful cold right now, so I'm going to keep this short.

After our wedding was cancelled in Mexico at the last possible hour, our wedding party (sans parents ) were redirected to Paradissus Palma Real in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. The six of stayed for 7 glorious days, and upon our return (the following weekend) we carried on with our scheduled AHR, only now, we added a full out ceremony to it! More than half our guests were completely surprised, and SO thrilled to be a part of our actual day!!

 

Without further ado...a few pics from our days.

 

(p.s. Thank you to all of you who helped me maintain my composure; and for those who reminded me daily what was really important in all this...I still got the guy)!

 

Our arrival - EMOTIONAL (Our wedding party arrived the day before us)

 

Our welcome champagne!

 

 

 

Before grooming - the really was beautiful most of the time!
