I love seeing all these pics!!! Thanks so much for posting!!!!

Thank you so much for the link to the photos - Caletas looks sooo amazing at night doesn't it?? Has anyone been to Caletas when visiting Vallarta? Last time we were in PV, we went on the Las Caletas day trip, and the Rhythms of the Night tour...both were AMAZING!!! It is the most beautiful place I have ever been to! Vallarta Adventures does an excellent job, very professional. We didn't hesitate to think about booking our wedding with them. I'm so excited and happy that I've found this forum. Thanks for making me feel so welcome already!!!!! I promise to make a big trip report and show lots of pics (if I can figure out how) when we get back from our trip. We are going to PV for 3 glorious weeks! We leave February 9th and return March 3rd! Lindsay

What great info - Thanks for sharing! Lindsay

Hi! I am yet another new Caletas bride-to-be!!! Getting married Feb 14th! I'm so excited that I found this message board and can't wait to share info with all of you wonderful people!!!! Lindsay

Marisa, your ceremony is beautiful! I can't wait to hear from the minister! For ceremony music, Nicole said we could bring the songs we want on a cd and they will play it for us. You could probably use the Mariachi band for the ceremony as well though! Good to hear that people have been happy with the photography - this is very important to me as well, though FH just doesn't want to spend the extra $ on the bigger package - which is understandable I guess!! I'm sure we'll have plenty of good photos! You are getting so close to your wedding Marisa - you must be so excited! I'm over the moon with excitement and I'm still a month away!!!! Lindsay

Our favours are shotglasses that my mom and I painted with palm trees etc, filled with yellow and blue (our colors) jelly belly's. We are also giving our guests personalized chocolate bars, that have our name and the date on them - ordered from Chocowrap.com.... I don't think I'll be heading to Caletas early - I'll likely have to go with everyone else, as we are being picked up at our hotel (since we have to get into Nuevo Vallarta first!) That's the trouble with where we are staying - it is SOOO far away. I'm having my hair done by my aunt, who is a retired hair dresser, so she'll do it at the hotel the morning of, and I'll do my makeup before we leave the hotel as well, and just do any touch ups before the ceremony once we arrive at Caletas. I won't have my veil in my hair until Caletas either. I have short hair so it'll be easy to style - I'm just worried about the wind on the boat, I might have to wear a scarf or something to keep my hair in place!!!! I will have lots and lots of hair spray in it I'm sure! What extras are you all having? We are having the fire dancers, and would love to have the DJ, but it just wasn't in our budget. We are bringing our Ipod with songs for our "dance". Also, we only got the 25 photo package with the 100 negatives on CD - I hope that will be enough, I may be kicking myself if we miss out on some good photo ops....hopefully the digital cameras of our guests will be able to take decent photos as well. Does anyone know if you can order extra prints from the photographer? I guess I can ask Nicole that... Has anyone talked to the minister about the Ceremonies? That is the next thing we have to do, and I'm getting a little anxious to get it all done! Lindsay

Hi again everyone! Well, everyone that is going on our trip knows that we are getting married, but they all think it is just going to be on the beach at the hotel we are staying at....No one knows any of the wedding details at all!!! We are planning on pulling this off by having the groomsmen delivery a "message in a bottle" note with some valentine candies to each room the morning of the wedding. It will say something like "Meet in the lobby at 2:00...be prepared for the day, bring a sweater etc etc...." We have to figure out the exact wording. Then, once everyone is on the bus, we are going to hand out little books I am making up titled "Where are we going?" And then that is when everyone will find out they are going to be whisked away to the beautiful Las Caletas! WE have spent months coming up with our plan, and dodging questions about the wedding from EVERYONE - including the wedding party. No one knows about it, and we can't wait to surprise everyone!!!! As far as decorating details etc., we are using rose petals on the tables, and then using the bridesmaid's bouquets randomly in vases along the table - plus we are bringing favours with us - so those will be on the tables too - we're just keeping the decorations simple - after all, the surroundings are decoration enough! I've seen some pictures, that FH found on the 'net of a Caletas wedding, and the tables looked very simple and elegant - they just had rose petals and candles along the centre of the tables, it was beautiful! Anyway, sorry for the long post, I can tend to babble! Talk to you all soon! Lindsay 26 more sleeps until we leave for PV!!!!

Hi Everyone!!! My name is Lindsay and I'm a Caletas bride as well!!! As you can see from my user name, we are getting married on Feb 14th!!!!!!! WE are SOOOOOOOOO excited and I am so thrilled that my amazing FH found this forum!!! You can probably expect to see me posting here quite a bit!!!! We have 33 people coming with us and the only people that know we are having a wedding at Caletas are my parents, his parents and Ed and I - it's a HUGE secret that we've been trying to keep for almost a year - and it's almost time to reveal!!! We are staying in a small town 1 hr north of Puerto Vallarta - Rincon de Guayabitos. Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting to know you all and reading all of your posts and sharing info with all the other Caletas brides!!!!! Talk to you soon! Lindsay
