Start of the rehearsal with our wedding planner to get the herd in order:)
Mark might be monitoring here or just wondering where to go. My Mom and Joe look ready to go though.
Whitney with the flower girls and ring bearer getting directions.
Mike and Mark waiting for instructions.
I'm sure I'm telling Mike what to do at this point;)
Rehearsal Dinner time! We had a beautiful setup put together by Pam and the event staff at the resort.
There were so many amazing views to get pictures from that night with the sunset.
Dinner was wonderful and we all enjoyed just relaxing and eating a delicious dinner.
The speeches and music made the night!
Wedding Day. It was so hard to keep this dress hidden for 5 days while we were at the resort before the wedding. I was trying so desperately not to wrinkle it while it was hanging in the room!
Kate helped out with Hannah's hair so all the girls matched with their French Braids.
Mom and I with our hair and makeup all ready to go.
The boys were definitely not stressed at all. They were all toasting and I believe their might have been shots mixed in their too? Hmmmm.
Facetime'n with Ashley since Carmen was only 1 month old and couldn't make it to Mexico. They watched the whole wedding and reception from the phone. Technology put to the best use;) We missed her though:(
Wedding Site right before sunset.
My three little flower girls all in a row!
Mike and the Dad's.
The Prindiville Girls were ready to go! Let's get this party started! I was pretty nervous at this point though!
Momma P and Me
My Bridal Flowers and Kate's Flowers. They were so beautiful! This picture doesn't even do them justice.
All of us girls were enjoying the suite before the wedding.
Aunt Sarah and Aunt Jill signing into the guest book.
The guests staying cool before heading outside. It was pretty warm for a little bit and then there was a nice cloud coverage which made it so much nicer.
Here we go!
Mike and I exchanging our vows. Three cruise ships went by at one point in the ceremony and I'm told it was just beautiful.
It's official!
Mike might have still been a bit warm. I made the boys wear linen suits over Mike's protests. He just wanted to wear a short sleeve shirt which I told him was not wedding attire for my groom;)
My siblings toasting with me after the ceremony.
All of the family from both sides
The Jone's Crew
Prindiville/Shannon Group. I can't find the picture with my Bushmeyer aunts but I had three of my aunts all at the wedding. So grateful for them making the journey.
The Frank's
Reception Time! We wanted to have the party on the pool deck but it was very warm so we opted for air conditioning. Good thing too because a massive storm came in that night. There was another wedding group having their rehearsal dinner and they all came running inside.
Aunt Susan giving Mike some loving. My Shannon relatives flew in from Boulder to help us celebrate:)
Here are my Bushmeyer aunts! Aunt Beth and Aunt Sarah traveled solo without their hubbies and had an amazing time touring Cozumel!
My Dad's reception speech brought some tears out around the table including my dad having a moment of getting choked up. I still have never seen him cry to this day but he shows emotion through actions and words. It was a lovely speech and he spoke quite highly of my new hubby!
My Momma brought in some humor by telling Mike if he hurt me she would come after him like a Momma Grizzly! All kidding aside, she also spoke of her love for her new son in law!
Me Celtic cross from Ireland. I just love this wedding gift from my parents. So beautiful and representative of my heritage.
Our cake had a bit of an island them with flowers and sea shells.
Sneaky, he better not get me in the face.
We both played pretty nicely though.
Our first dance to the Farmer's Daughter. We had the father/daughter and mother/son dance also to this song.
I think a good time was had by all! We danced for a few hours and then continued the party in the lobby bar and sitting area.
