Congratulations! Were you as stressed as I was about all the rain the days leading up to our wedding? We had everything planned for outside so I was pretty stressed with the weather (to put it mildly)…. we were so lucky, though, to have such beautiful weather on our day!
So you were the one who booked Sol! Lol… we had our heart set on her, but she was booked Are you also anxiously awaiting your pictures? (no rush, though, Matt and Sol if you're reading this... I've been anxiously awaiting them since the moment they were taken and not b/c of any delay). We had a lot of fun with Vincent and we can’t wait to see the pictures! We also did a TTD with him the next day, which was loads of fun and I can't wait to see the pictures of that.
We honeymooned in St Lucia – we just got home on Sunday. What about you?
Congratulations again on your wedding! I saw your review and you looked beautiful!

yeah, we were lucky to have such a nice day!! there was a wedding a day before ours, and it was held outdoors and the sky was gloomy, but no rain. we flew in sunday, and monday was pretty wet. i know, the pics are going to be awesome! everyone keeps asking when will it be up, but honestly i don't know, do you? i'm sure it was on a contract somewhere, but with everything else going on, i was just glad i booked a photographer and must of overlooked it.

 

we originally were going to do a TTD with them, but decided not to- budget reasons. i bet yours will be awesome.

 

congrats on getting your MRS!

 

we came home friday, went to vegas yesterday to make it legal. we honeymooned at isla mujeres. st lucia- is that jamaica? pardon my ignorance...

Heidi, I can't believe how good everything looks. You girls are either inspiring me to try it all myself or hire one of you to do it! lol Did you have any trouble getting everything down there? I'm nervous about having to pack a lot of DIY stuff.

I think the pictures will be up fairly soon (although by no specific date). If you look at their client proofing page http://www.delsolphotography.com/clientproofing/
they already have pictures up from the end of May and Sol's blog shows a wedding on May 30.... so not too long!
St Lucia is a small caribbean island south of Martinique and northwest of Barbados. We had a great time and were so happy to have a week to ourselves after the wedding!
BTW... for us it also rained on Tuesday... in fact, the only days that would have worked for us as far as not being rained out were the 4th and the 5th... someone was looking out for me

Yeah, the link has been down tonight but it was fine all day (I only checked it about a dozen times throughout the day ).
Yes, we flew from Mexico to St Lucia and then to Canada. Flying from Mexico to St Lucia was a long day. We flew Cancun to Miami to Puerto Rico... but our flight to Puerto Rico was delayed and the flight to St Lucia from Puerto Rico left early so we missed it by a matter of minutes. The next available flight from San Juan to St Lucia wasn't for 4 days so American Airlines put us up in a hotel in San Juan for a night and then flew us back to Miami in the morning to catch a non stop flight to the other airport in St Lucia. Pretty crazy, but I was on such a high from the wedding and so thankful over the weather on our wedding day that I was fine with it all.
And now we're back home and I'm going through withdrawal

Wow Heidi, you did a wonderful job! Everything look great! Love the marachas idea...

I was also nervous about getting all the stuff down to Mexico, but we didn't have any problems. Alex and I each had a suitcase with clothes and then we had two big suitcases solely for all the decorations and DIY stuff. We also had a carry on with fragile wedding things and carried on my wedding dress and Alex's suit.
To get through customs in Mexico you walk forward and press a button, which randomly goes either green (good to go) or red (where you go to the side to be checked). Of course, we got the red, which I was dreading... especially with the starfish and sand that I was worried about bringing through. Luckily, the person randomly selected two bags of clothes and hardly went through it at that. Everyone we encountered throughout in the airports were so nice when they saw the big wedding dress bag I was carrying. I was pretty happy, though, to see my stuff on the other side as I'm always prepared for a delay with bags (I've had a few too many experiences like that!).
