Planning a Destination Wedding - Monkey Business
Posted by Guest Blogger on Thu, Dec 18, 2008 @ 04:22 PM
Probably our final post from Cameron. Thanks for sharing your Costa Rica wedding adventures Cameron!
After we were officially man and wife, it was time to see the country and let our adventurous spirit flow! 7am the next morning we were off canyoning. To those who are not familiar with this activity, it means rappelling down the side of a mountain. After our first rappel, my sister and husband both concluded that this was the most fun that they have ever had and that I would have to plan all future vacations. It really was an amazing experience..until we had to hike back up to the top of the mountain!
The following day, we said goodbye to our wedding crasher and my sister, then Scott and I headed to Manuel Antonio, a little town on the Pacific Ocean. We stayed at Issimo Suites, which was as fabulous as our specialist Andrea had told us it would be. The rooms were amazing and the monkeys were plentiful. I swear, the monkeys would eat food off your plate and I actually swam with a monkey (well, he dipped each hand in the water while I swam.) The video below shows our monkey friends.
While there we did every activity we could, white water rafting, sailing, snorkeling and we hiked through the national park. If I could offer advice to a new bride it would probably be to make sure that you schedule some time for rest and relaxation, this is your honeymoon!!
To all budding brides, I hope that you have fun planning the wedding of your dreams. If are just checking the site out and have not yet decided on destinationweddings.com, I'd encourage you to "go for it!" I know that I could have planned a basic destination wedding on my own, but it would have paled in comparison with the amazing wedding that I had.
