Perfect Honeymoon spot. We got the swim up suite. A true all-inclusive, no kids, amazing service. If you are thinking about Cozumel, go here. It looks exactly like the photos.

I wanted to surprise my wife before our wedding with a gift that I knew she would love, but I had no idea what to get her. Her mother then tells me that she wanted to wear a particular pair of earrings on our wedding, but she couldn't afford them. With that tip in mind, I went ahead and purchased the earrings for her as my gift. Because we were on the same floor getting ready, I could hear her scream and cry in delight when she opened her gift! I heard that the girls had to hold her back from running to our room to thank me as we didn't want to see each other before the wedding. Blue Nile was awesome in getting me the earrings on time (I ordered them 3 days BEFORE the wedding).

We have friends that work at the cafe, so it was natural for us to have our rehearsal dinner there. We did a cocktail party with heavy hors d'oeuvres and a final toast on the Piazza d'Italia. Amazing food, cocktails, and service.

A party in New Orleans is NOT complete without your typical brass marching band! We opted to have Treme Brass Band instead because NOLA is in both of our blood and we love our home. They were wonderful. Played great songs. Everyone was dancing. Everyone was dancing non-stop, INCLUDING myself, who has two left feet! They called me to confirm and were always nice and friendly. I found them to be super reasonably priced. Yet another one of the best decisions we made.

Our reception at Rosy's was awesome! They treated us well there, and I was very happy not only because our guests had a great time, but because after all the stress my wife went through, she had nothing but a smile the entire night!! They treat you right there!

It was my responsibility to rent a limo to transport us from the church to our reception party. I decided to go with Big Easy because of some good stuff I heard about them, as well as their prices. Our limo was sweet, clean and the driver Geoff was nice. I did feel though that communicating with them was a little difficult at times.

Sam was awesome to have photograph our wedding. When we got our pictures, I was taken aback by how awesome they were! It was very important to my wife that we got a particular photographer, so it was really her decision/choice of who to select. I didn't think we should have spent so much, but I guess you really can't put a price on memories.

This church is very nice, and it suit us to have our ceremony there. It is a shame though that it is no longer available.

I really wanted to get my wife an engagement ring that she would love, and I had a hard time finding it at national chain stores (Shane, Zales, etc.) because of their prices (I didn't want to dig myself into debt over a ring). I finally went to Adler's, and they were totally awesome in working with me. I told them exactly how much I had to spend, they brought out a lot of great rings, and I chose one that I knew she would love, which she did! We ended up going back to purchase our bands from them, and again was very happy with everything.

You could say my wife dragged me kicking to try on suits for our wedding. I was not looking forward to it all, but once we got to John's, I must admit that we had a pretty fun time. They made us feel very welcome and were very professional and great to deal with. We selected our outfits, and everything turned out good.
