It''s official!

 

[CDNinNYC]

He swept me off my feet!

 

[CDNinNYC]

This one cracks me up! We were instructed to look soulfully into each other''s eyes...

I couldn''t keep a straight face!

 

[CDNinNYC]

Then some Natcho Libre wrestler interrupted our soulful staring and we decided to tag team against DH.

 

[CDNinNYC]

Please excuse the funny look on my face but everyone kept asking me to lift my dress up so they can see my shoes!

The Bridal Party''s backsides...

Two gorgeous guests enjoying the cocktail hour.

Favors /escort cards.

Table set up with maracas on each place setting. You can see the tiki torches and lounge area in the background. On each table we also placed a disposable camera with "Camera/Photo Scavenger Hunt" instructions.

We had an AMAZING Mariachi Trio play during dinner. They were awesome!

 

[CDNinNYC]

They were so awesome, we couldn''t resist a dance!

 

[CDNinNYC]

Not to be outdone by the Mariachi band, our DJ surprised us with fireworks during our ''official'' first dance!

 

[CDNinNYC]

And then the party started! Woot!

This photo is for EricaR! We had a dog join us too!

 

[CDNinNYC]

So, instead of a traditional guestbook, we had a white eraser board and markers and asked guests to write a message on it: words of advise, a happy memory of us, or a favourite moment from our wedding. They were then to snap a photo before passing it along to the next guest. Here I am getting in on the action.

ETA: I wished someone had told me the wind was blowing my bird-cage the opposite direction!

 

[CDNinNYC]

More guestbook moments!

 

[CDNinNYC]

Even Resort Security got in on it! Haha!

 

[CDNinNYC]

We got all excited when the DJ played one of our favourite songs...

 

[CDNinNYC]

... the music was so good, we leapt off the lounge furniture to join everyone on the dance floor.

ETA: you can see the cigars on the table here.

 

[CDNinNYC]

Sweaty but having too much fun to care!
