The Wedding

As told a month later.

It might take several posts to get this all down, so bear with me. On June 29th Dane and I got up at about 2:30 to get ready for our trip. I got dressed all pretty in my cute red top, cream colored capris and fabulous red shoes. We were picked up by a Lincoln Town Car by 4:00 am and taken to the airport. No drama getting down to Mexico and we arrived on time around 2 pm. Our transportation had ice cold Pacificos waiting for us as we took the drive downtown to get our blood tests and sync up any last minute details with Coca, our wedding coordinator.

We arrived at our BEAUTIFUL resort, Dreams, by about 4 pm. My parents and Nick and Jacob were there and RB/TJ were checking in. There was a little drama with the check in as Dreams didn't have all the reservations correctly listed (they even had our name as Gordon, not Ewers or Huish). After much crying and sobbing and RB even stepping in to save the day we were able to clear up the mess for the evening but Dreams still needed to work on the checkout days for 2 of our guests. So we went to dinner, took a walk on the beach w/ my dad, then met up with the others and hung out at the bar and had a smashing good time. We stayed out till after 2 playing games (Taboo) in the lobby bar and enjoying the Mexican evening.

Saturday we spent the entire day at the pool drinking wonderful drinks and having fun in the sun. Since Dreams didn't have the reservation name for HG and MR correct, I never received confirmation that they had arrived. About 2 hours after their expected arrival time I started getting really worried but luckily found them. One of our guests had had a little too much to drink and so we were laughing and having fun with them - it was great to see them let down their hair. We ended up eating dinner and having another great night drinking and splashing in the pool.

Sunday we all traipsed into town for our "in-lieu-of-rehersal-dinner-pirate-booze-cruise" on a real pirate boat. From what I understand from our guests, this was the single most fun event. We got to tool around the Cabo shore on the pirate boat (some of us even dressed as pirates), go snorkeling in FREEZING cold waters (who knew July was the time where everything was the coldest?!), eat fantastic food, enjoy fun games, and even swing off the side of the boat into the water from a rope! Great times. After the cruise we all went our separate ways to take care of whatever we needed to. By the time the evening came around, half the guests were too tired to make it to the bachelor/ette party. This actually worked out well as it gave me a chance to spend some quality 1:1 time with Amy and Bryan - who is AWESOME! We had a BLAST at Cabo Wabo - I can't even remember everything that happened - there was a cock roach, doing the "butt", lots of shots and beer, a fantastically gay guy doing a Broadway show dance in the cage, tons of fun. After the bar we went to the local strip club and confirmed that Mexican strippers are not happy. They never smile whilst doing their thing. Around 3 am it was time to go, so we collected Jacob from a stripper and poured Puppy (drunk Nick) into a cab and went home. Good times.

That's a good point to stop for now. :-)
