Planning a Destination Wedding - Costa Rica - No English?

The fifth post from Cameron on planning a Destination Wedding in Costa Rica.
Remember when I said that since you are planning a destination wedding in a foreign country, you should be laid back and prepare for anything? My philosophy sure was put to the test on my wedding day! I woke up, opened the curtain to admire the amazing volcano which inspired our wedding, but when I looked outside all I saw was clouds! I actually laughed, it may not have been what I wanted, but I was marrying Scott and that is what was most important. About 7:30 a.m. the stylist arrived at my room, but, "no habla Engles!" Oh.....! My sister came to the room and asked me if there was anything I needed, and I sent her in search of coffee and a Spanish/English dictionary. For some reason I did not bring a picture of how I wanted my hair, I just expected that in a Spanish speaking country they would be able to understand my directions. Ultimately, it was everyone else that was freaking out while I was laughing. It was ironic because I had stressed so much over my hair during the planning of the wedding. In the end, my hair and make-up were beautiful and I spent the morning reassuring everyone that everything was okay.
