New bride June 2013 (El Cid or Grand Porto)

[Avborges]

Hello everyone! First of all, congratulations to all the brides and newlyweds here! I'm so excited to be here and I hope once I have my wedding figured out, I will be able to be of assistance to others! First things first, Matt and I got engaged on July 23, 2012 while on vacation in Brazil. That's where I am from. What a wonderful surprise! It didn't take me very long to get extremely overwhelmed by all the plans and cost to the point where I begged Matt to just elope. The destination wedding idea became real after some of Matt's friends told us about their experience at the Excellence Resorts. It really seemed like the light at the end of the tunnel for me. So here I am.... Sitting by the pool at the Occidental Allegro sipping margaritas and relaxing after five back to back site inspections... We will most likely choose between the Marina el Cid or the grand Porto. Let the planning begin! If you are planning a wedding at those locations or have already gotten married there, I would love to hear from you! All the best, Amanda

Congrats to you! Lucky you getting to do site inspections. I wanted to elope as well, and the dw idea seemed like the perfect medium. Happy planning to you!
