Marcus and Amy's Mexican wedding

Me with the Grandmas at my welcome/birthday dinner in Puerto Vallarta - with Dada photo bombing



With Marcus too :)
Bumping bumps with Amy's sister Lisa. She's 31 weeks, I'm 21 weeks.
Breakfast the next morning with Grandma

Mariah and I by the pool
All dressed up for the rehearsal dinner my parents hosted

Mom and Dad did a lovely presentation about why people love each other

Everyone liked it including the bride & groom

We all enjoyed it
It was an AMAZING restaurant - fantastic service and wonderful food !!
My amazing dinner - I ate a bit too much because it was SO SO good


Loved the Mariachi band that came by our tables as well. It was a great night!!


Bridge nearby - the lights made it difficult to see but it was beautifully lit up

When we got back to the room we found a basket and thought oh a gift - turns out it was just my bra back from the cleaners ha ha! Lovely presentation :)
The next day I went shopping with Mom, Grandma & Johnny. This is the view looking back at the area where our resort is.

Famous Puerto Vallarta statue  - lovely

The view from the rooms down to the pool and ocean - just a stunning resort

And the view from the Presidential suite my parents upgrade Amy & Marcus to for their wedding night.
All dressed up for the wedding, waiting for the buses to arrive that would take us there

  2. Dear Monique,
    Great job of putting together hilights of your birthday, the Groom's Dinner, the Wedding and Reception, the breakfast gathering, and other special moments,too! Wonderful job of documenting the song at the wedding; I believe you are the only one that was able to capture the music! It was great to see you and baby Jingle. Love you so much! Mom

  3. Dear Monique,
    We were all very happy that you would share your birthday and all the celebrations centering on the wedding, too. Great job documenting a lovely time for all; especially loved how you recorded the song that Amy and Marcus sang at the wedding. Bravo! Reminiscent of your wedding being the day after Marcus' birthday a few years earlier. All special and precious times to treasure. Love you, Mom and Dad
