Why you shouldn't involve your FI in planning......

Hmm a friend of mine just thought of something I didn't think about if we do wedding pictures on the beach both before and after the ceremony, do you think it will mess up the bottom of my dress for the ceremony? I mean if I stay out of the water I should be ok,,, Right?

Tammy,

Sorry I'm chiming in late also. It seems like you've got a pretty good solution already, but hopefully this info may help you out a bit more.

We stayed at the Pueblo Bonito Rose on Medano Beach prior to the wedding. It is 2 hotels down from Melia and on the same beach. We walked down and ate at Nikki Beach (at the Melia) and a little past it at Mango Deck. That is one of the busiest areas of Medano Beach, since there are a few more independent restaurants and all the jet ski/parasailing/etc rentals. I don't think it quiets down/empties out until sundown.

I took pics on the beach and my dress was a bit dirty on the bottom, but not bad enough that it was noticable. So as long as you don't get it wet, I think it should be fine.

Tammy- You are a saint. I mean really, I would probably would have thrown a major hissy fit by now, but girl you just keep searching that's awesome. This is exactly why i only give Kevin 4 options to choose from, all of which I already like. This way I still kind of get my way and he feels like he is helping.

Trust me girls I'm not a saint I'm insane.. lol

Tammy,

I have the same problem, steve wants to do a lot of our pics before the ceremony so that we don't miss our cocktail hour and reception, but I'm worried about the bottom of my dress getting really beat up. But I guess if we stay on the dry sand that will just brush off easily, we'll just have to be careful not to go near the water and wet sand until afterwards!
