Wedding Details

To those who have requested Wedding deets, here goes:

17 April 2007 - Varadero, Cuba

Our wedding party will consist of 10 of our closest friends and family members. There may be two other couples joining us, but the 10 are the confirmed ones.

I really hope that I can reach 125lb before the dress arrives. Then I'll know where to go from there based on the way the dress fits. It should be here anytime after October 17th. (Weirdly, and by complete coincidence, I ordered my dress on April 17th 2006! It must be fate.)

We will be getting married on the beach, rather than in the gazebo area because the beach means so very much to me. I grew up on the coast and the beach was my refuge as a child, my summer haven with family and friends, and my lifelong happy place.

I am preparing a bag to send to everyone for Christmas to hype them up with a book about travel in Cuba, a bottle of each of our own wedding red and white wines, chocolates, sippy mugs for all that included booze (personalized with the guest's name on one side and our little beach-wedding logo that I created on the other side). The tote bags that this and a few other little things will be in will also be embroidered with the name of the couple receiving the gift at the top and then the logo with our names and wedding date on the bottom).

The 'logo' is a tropical beach scene with our names and the wedding date centred underneath the overhanging palm tree.

YAY!
