Here are a few...there are so so many that I love! EDIT- I just noticed that some of them are distorted bc I stretched them out, I will have to fix that later :).

The day was perfect and not a single thing went wrong.  It went by so so so fast!

All of my vendors were amazing and the venue was stunning and the staff was so nice and accomodating.  The decorations and color combo turned out better than planned.  The candy bar was beautiful and a huge hit- I only spent about $80 on 5 types of bulk candy/cookies/brownie bites and it was a perfect amount!  The DJ was AMAZING and the life of the party, he did the best job ever!  Our slideshow was so special and made us tear up.  My fi actually said he was sad it was over, and that is a big deal coming from him! 

The food was AWESOME- but we coulnd't eat, neither of us were hungry at all...but we had a few bites of everything.  Cake was fantastic- we took a ton home, so we are enjoying that today.

Here are a few pics that my WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL photographer blogged- waiting for more :).

First Dance                           My Sister (MOH) and I        

We went to Secrets Maroma Beach in the Riviera Maya, let me just say that this place is outstanding!  The beach looks like pool water at about 85 degrees to boot and the white sand is oh so soft.  The rooms are decoarted beautifully and the bed's are so so comfy!  The restraunts are delicious and the drinks just keep coming.  The pools are wonderful, I could lounge out there all day/night long with the waiters bringing me drinks and appetizers you never need to get up.  The shows at night are awesome as well- the entertainment staff really truely tries to make sure you have the time of your life.  Everyone is super friendly and pleasant and every request ends with "its my pleasure".  This place has only been open for a year, but everything is so fine tuned that you would think it had been twenty.

Here are the pics from the BEST day ever!  My sister had tanks made for me and the bridal party, they are so cute!  They have a cute saying on the front and then something on the back (except mine) that matches each girls personality.  Mine said "lucky me the bride to be July 3, 2009".  My sister (MOH) is far right in the pic.

My wedding colors are turquoise/aqua and chocolate brown and the following things are my inspirations.

For the bridesmaids I purchased them each a bracelet and matching earrings.  I did two girls in the

aqua color and two girls in the brown color.  I then decided to make them matching drop necklaces, I made them for about $7 each from purchasing everything on jewelrysupply.com  I attached the necklaces to little cards I made that have a cute saying and say made with love by Lynette.  I finished the gift off with aqua flip flops from old navy and a cute satin bag instead of a traditional gift bag.  The girls loved them and can wear the jewelry again.
