MrsV-to-be

the White Gazebo is a beautiful location right beside the ocean!! in some ways you just can't beat that! However, I chose the Health Bar for more practical reasons - and I ended up just loving it! two reason's why I picked the Health Bar over the White Gazebo, just in case it was windy (I hate wind!) and the Health Bar provides a bit of coverage. And also because there were a few people in our group with hip & knee problems that would make it hard for them to move around alot on the sand. Since I wanted a big partay - they would have had to have been very careful dancing.

Yes, one of our guests could barely leave the room the whole trip because he was so sick. We knew it was more then the usual Mexican sickness, since it lasted so long, and he tried all the usual remedies, which did not work! We figured it may have been the sushi at the Japense restaurant - since he ate a tone of it the night before it all started.

you look amazing! and I can see why you loved your hair - so beautiful!! Congrats

oh my goodness! the wedding looked awesome!! I also loved your dress - so utterly unique and looked fantastic on you Congratulations!

ahh!! amazing pics!! You look stunning! I love love your dress I love them all, but I think my 2 fav pics are, the one of you walking down the aisle with your dad and the one of you both walking back up the aisle! Congrats again Shannon!!

By the end of the wedding night - the dress hem was black! and I also had drink dribbles down the front of my dress (hehe). I went into the ocean with my dress, and then took it into the shower to wash the salt off. By the end of that, there were no drink stains & the hem wasn't black anymore - just more of a light grey. The only thing was that there are alot of spots that sand got into (the rouching on the body of the dress and throughout the lace in the train). But most of it I was able to get out once it had dried. I totally recommend doing it with your dress - it was fun!

However, my mom took it and made a purse out of it - which I totally love! I just purchased a satin clutch purse on ebay for cheap and my mom covered it with the lace. It came out awesome!!

I'm so thrilled there are so many new EDR brides just back to answer all of my insanely neurotic questions!!!!! haha!! I think we all had the neurotic questions - just comes with the territory the signing might have taken a whole minute - maybe! I didn't include a song for it and it was fine without one! there is a lot of sound coming from the ocean

I asked this before and some people said ipod and some said cd. If you did cd did you have all of the processional songs on one disk (or playlist) and the recessional song on another? I was worried about the music too. I gave my 1 CD with clear instructions written on the front to the WC. and I gave my Ipod to my brother and told him to look after the music. I told him if it can play off the ipod just to do that. I felt better that someone I knew was helping to look after it. I think they played straight from the ipod for the ceremony. At any rate it was totally fine!!

super cute! I especially like the one where you are kissing and it is blurry around the edges!! ps I love Kelowna too
