DREAMS PUERTO VALLARTA "thread"

I know that Saturday, Sunday, and local holidays do not count towards the required length of stay. For a legal weddings in mx it can be tricky.

We decided to sign all the paperwork, etc. at our local court house before we leave.

Hey girls! just wanted to chime in to let you know I had an AMAZING bridal shower yesterday!!! Our "fancy hat" theme turned out awesome! my aunt was in charge of the menu, my MOH was in charge of the decorations, and my friend in charge of the games. we had appetizers such as bruschetta, wontons with spinach dip in it, shrimp, and then all different kinds of salads with fruit and breads - homemade cheesecake and carrot cake for desert - wine, champagne - so good! the food was amazing!

I'll post pics when I gather them from everyone!

Yay, Jill! Congrats!! Glad you had such a great time! Sounds lovely & I love the hat idea!

And, Jess, didn't you have yours too? Hope you had a wonderful day too.

Your shower sounds awesome Jill. Can't wait to see some pics

Jess hope you had fun at yours too!

We're doing the legal stuff this weekend in Vegas. Only 5 more days of being "legally" single

yay Jill! And congrats Autumn

I had my shower also this weekend, so much fun. My Aunt made it Mexican theme so we had margaritas, Mexican food, and even a pinata with lube and condoms...haha it was so great.

Congrats Jess and Jill your showers sound so awesome! I love the condoms and lube pinata Jess, that is awesome!

Congrats on Autumn on only 5 more single days!! So exciting!

Jess - i love the pinata idea! that is a great idea for either bachelorette party or shower! can't wait for pics!

I know I wasn't the one taking pics, so I hope it doesn't take me a long time to get pics back!

Hah!! I LOVE the condom-n-lube pinata!! How freaking hilarious!! Def want to see pics of that!

Autumn, that's super exciting!!! Congrats & have a wonderful time!!

We are going to play in a kickball tournament with 2 of our teams and we figured why not get married while we are there?!?! We rented a big limo, got a case of champagne, some Vegasy outfits and are doing the drive-thru at the Little White Wedding Chapel. I know that most people think this takes the "special-ness" out of the real wedding, but we are calling the event "Legally Not Single" and it gives some of our friends that can't come to the DW a chance to see us sign some papers. We aren't changing names, bank accounts or even telling people we are married, but I am still excited. Besdies, the DW is what the bride and groom make it to be! The strange thing about this week is that I don't feel stressed, but I have gained 5 lbs which always happens when I do get stressed. Ugh! FI loses weight and I always gain - booo!

Anyways here is the mini-inspiration board I put together. I want to share this stuff with my friends but I am afraid they will start thinking of Vegas as the real wedding if I do. So you girls get to be my outlet ) I'll post some real pics tonight if I can remember.

Orange gerbera daisy hair flower that I made (Uh yeah, I couldn't find any at the store becuase they are out of season - who knew fake flowers had seasons. So I pulled one out of an arrangement at home then glued some bling and a clip on it.)

Birdcage veil from etsy.

Davids Bridal shoes that I had dyed to match my wedding dress ribbon. But then I found better shoes to wear in Mexico so I decided to wear these in Vegas.

Orange orchid bouquet and boutonniere that I made. (The flowers came from the dollar tree and will probably get lost somewhere in Vegas)

Betsey Johnson Bye Bye Love dress that I swear looks like an 80s prom dress from Can't Buy Me Love. (I took off the belt) I got it when the store was having a buy 1 get 1 free sale plus the summer stuff was already on sale: 2 dresses for $200!

FI is wearing a pinstripe blazer with a purple lining and his trusty pair of G-Stars. White french cuff shirt and cufflinks that match his wedding band. The cufflinks are titanium with black diamonds and he is dying to wear them. (Yep he is totally metro but won't admit it)
