The second post from Cameron on planning a Destination Wedding in Costa Rica. 

I was determined not to become a stressed out bride. Although I had my moments, in retrospect I've convinced myself that they were few and far between. This was a second wedding for us both. I've had the perfect, beautiful church wedding. This time, I just wanted to be married, wherever, whenever, it would be perfect as long as I was married to Scott. I tried to be laid back with all of the details, remembering that as long as we made it to Costa Rica and were married, nothing else mattered. I truly believe that this attitude helped a great deal with the stress of planning a destination wedding. Andrea and I were so in tune with each other that we both found the same company to coordinate the wedding...on the same day! I just conveyed what was important for me to have at the wedding, then took a step back and let them do their jobs. Scott and I eloped and my sister was to be our witness. I would probably say that my biggest stress occurred when my mother decided that she just couldn't miss her daughter's wedding...two weeks before the ceremony!!
