Back from Mexico!

I had the most amazing time in Mexico. I went for a friend's wedding in Cabo. The wedding was small (about 65 people) and they treated us so well all weekend by inviting each guest to several parties with great food and entertainment. Her mother has a home on the beach and we spent some of Thursday in their pool and they had a party on Friday for their guests. There were waiters roaming around with endless margaritas and delicious appetizers and an excellent Mexican buffet dinner. They treated us to a DJ and dancing complete with Pyro Dancers, it was absolutely amazing!

The wedding was at a beautiful golf resort in El Dorado that overlooked the beautiful Sea of Cortez. The wedding party looked so gorgeous and the reception venue was breathtaking! There were waiters with abundant drinks and appetizers...the crab tacos were the favorite among our group! We lit up 3-foot long sparklers for the wedding party's entrance into the venue and dinned in a stone courtyard with a man playing guitar for dinner music...it was beautiful! Dinner was 3 courses, which included a lump crab cake, trio of ceviche and I chose the red snapper (other choice was filet mignon). There were cupcakes, wedding cake and Mexican coffee for dessert. Everything was so delicious I was stuffed to the max!!!
Her mother gave an excellent speech and had every woman at the party in tears! It was absolutely beautiful. During their first dance their was a huge firework display...breathtaking! They had a live Latin band followed by a late-night DJ (with a late-night taco bar!) During the cake-cutting, a mariachi band came out and they were so hilarious goofing around in their tight white pants! It was such a memorable weekend, I am still in awe and so happy that I got to be a part of it!

  1. Sounds like you guys had a great time! I am sooo jealous by looking at all those pics. How fun - the live mariachi band?! You and your man look adorable. I believe this may be his first appearance on the blog? :) Oh and the fire dancers sound awesome. I am always so in awe of them and how they do not catch themselves on fire.
