Planning a Destination Wedding - Costa Rica practical joke
Posted by Guest Blogger on Sat, Nov 01, 2008 @ 10:35 AM
Please join us in welcoming Cameron as our bride guest blogger for Costa Rica. Although Cameron was married in August, she wanted to experiences while planning a destination wedding. For those of you that saw the post about the volcano, that was her wedding, so you know you are in for some adventure here. This will be a 4-5 post series, so more to follow. Enjoy!
The difficulty we had as we began planning a destination wedding was deciding where to go. We are opposites in many ways, I love the beach and my fiancé loves the mountains. My fiancé loves to camp and for me "camping out" is spending the night at the Hilton. Through destination weddings we were able to get both! Planning the wedding was easy and so much fun. As soon as we decided on Costa Rica we were all about the planning. We wanted to do something different and were exploring the idea of having the wedding in the rainforest. Then, as a fluke, I asked Andrea, our destination wedding planner, if there would be any way that we could make arrangements to be married at the volcano. I was so surprised when she quickly answered with "absolutely." From that point on, it was as if I were my own little volcano of destination wedding excitement! My fiancé became so tired of wedding talk that he loved that Andrea was always there to share in my excitement. Unfortunately, one day I received an email from Andrea telling me that due to excessive volcanic activity there was no way that we could have the ceremony as planned. After a moment of panic, I sat down to my computer to look at other options. The phone then rang and it was Andrea, who was calling to check on me. After just a moment on the phone expletives began to pour from my mouth. It was then that I knew I had been had...my fiancé conspired with her and I was the victim of a cruel and unusual practical joke!!
