Destination Wedding/Take 3



Hello, dear friends.  Happy Friday!  Did you have a good week?  I unpacked and got a lot of things done around the house.  It's bitterly cold this morning and it looks like snow this weekend.  If I wasn't listening to such a good book, I would probably skip my walk. But instead, I'm going to bundle up so I can listen to what happens next. 

This is the third installment of the wedding of our #1 and Adorable Jonathon.  Sorry, it took so long, but I had to wait for the professional pictures to be done.  If you are interested in seeing the first two posts, you can find them here and here.  They were married legally in the States in NYC a few weeks prior.  You can read all about it here.


To refresh your memory, the wedding was held at the St. Regis Punta Mita Resort. 





When our #1 was a little girl, she wanted to be a bride for Halloween.  She told me at that time that she wished she was a real bride. 


On October 26, 2019, my little girl's wishes came true.





We all spent a relaxing day together, getting our hair and makeup done.




While the Mister and the Adorables gave words of encouragement to the groom as he prepared for the celebration.



The bride and groom decided that they would do a First Look, which means that the professional pictures were taken before the ceremony.

Btw... I think that is a great idea.  The Mister and I missed the whole cocktail reception at our wedding because we had our pics taken.  It's been thirty years, and I'm still bitter...












I'm holding on to Adorable Jonathon's arm to make sure he doesn't take off.



Double Adorableness.




Our new big, happy family.

Here comes the Bride!



You can't really tell, but AJ's eyes got a little misty as his Bride walked down the aisle.


My girl's dress was designed by Nardos from Nardos Design in Dallas.  She was a joy to work with.






I love this pic. 
The Mister is whispering to her... don't forget that you promised that Mom and I could move in with you two when we get really, really old.










I'm thinking... one down, one to go.
Btw... I'm taking applications for #2.




















The next stop is the cocktail hour and reception.  
Stay tuned.

 Have a great weekend!

 Until next time...

Destination Wedding/Take 2



Hello, dear friends.  I hope that you are having a wonderful week.  It is getting mighty nippy around here.  I'll be dusting off my old puffer coat for today's walk.

Today's post covers the day of the Rehearsal Dinner honoring our #1 and Adorable Jonathon.

If you missed the first Wedding post, you can find it here.



Again, we were blessed with picture-perfect weather.  The Mister and I slaved away at the pool reading our books and sipping on one or two margaritas.



The gentlemen in the wedding party were asked to wear Guayabera shirts.  My Dad used to wear these shirts all the time.  I have a feeling that he was smiling down from heaven.



The bride and groom arrived, and we began the rehearsal.

Bridezilla Alert!!
Bridezilla Alert!


Whew!!!
Crisis Averted!




After the rehearsal, all guests were invited to the lobby for a sabering.  





Three guesses who did the sabering.



AJ was given a 20-second crash course before raising the saber.
Yeah, I felt safe.



Easy, cowboy!!



I don't know how he's going to get that thing through security! 




Do not try this at home, folks!
Thanks to Coco for the video. 





Adorable Michael, bride, and Mrs. Adorable.
Can you spell R-E-L-I-E-F?





The Mariachi Band must have felt the tension too because they began playing the minute the deed was done.



Cheers to everyone who still has all their fingers and toes!




Look at Annie's cute purse.  It's a lady carrying fruit on her head.
Minutes before, Skinny Delaney was up on a wall in her wedges, taking pics of the sabering.




The Mariachi Guys moved down to the beach to play a few tunes at the cocktail reception. 
Who knew that they don't take requests?!?












The tables blew us away!



The Bride and Groom had the custom maracas with their wedding date made for the place settings.



Notice the banners with the bride and groom's names.
They had small ones made for the welcome bags.



We lucked out with another beautiful evening.



Sista, Ann, and Caroline, otherwise known as triple trouble.



John and #2.



Sista and her Mista.
Have I mentioned that my #1's middle name is Sista's?




Double trouble.



Annie gave me this idea from a wedding that she previously attended.  I had postcards made up of the B&G, and on the back, it says Words of Wisdom.  I also had pens made up with the B&G's name and wedding date.  People were asked to give advice on love, marriage, etc.  Every month I will pop a few in the mail to the B&G.  The first shipment goes out next week.



Just in case you forget from the last post:  Ashley, the bride, Coco, and Julia.



This lovely girl is Kerry, who came up to introduce herself to me.  She told me that her Mom reads my blog.
Hi Betty!  You raised a beauty!



Feelin' full of herself!



Sarah, Julia, Coco, and Ashley.



Mrs. Adorable gave a beautiful, heartfelt speech.




It looks like Sista and Caroline are planning something...



Oh, what a night!!



I know this pic reminds of another one...


Oh yeah, that's it!




Another delightful evening celebrating our royal couple.


Until next time...
