It's kind of hard to remember because I wasn't wearing a watch so all times are approximate

I would say the ceremony was 1/2 hour at the most. That would include the time spent signing the documents. Then we did photos with the resort photographer for about another 1/2 hour.

We were all very hot and had some time to kill so we all went and sat in the lobby bar and waited for the reception dinner to start. I think we were in the bar for a couple of hours?

The reception dinner was at the Flamingo restaurant by the beach. It was about 2.5 hours/3 hours with speeches. I actually do have video of the wedding done by the resort but I don't know how to post it to the internet.

Then we had rented the pool bar for some dancing and drinks. I think we went there around 8:30/9pm? We didn't stay there long. We were all very hot and tired. We used an iPOD with a portable speaker system for the music (Altec speaker system maybe?).

Let me know if you need more information.
