We're Getting Married in Mexico!!!

If you have known me for any length of time, you might know that my dream wedding is a GIANT wedding with all of our family and friends, lots of food, fun, and laughter (I mean I am a girl, right??). I have always imagined my wedding as an outdoor wedding by the water (so, a lake if you are wanting to get married in the DFW area) and a HUGE indoor reception...

When Chris and I got engaged, I started planning accordingly...when I would ask Chris questions about the wedding, he was NOT interested. :) He just didn't seem to want any of what I wanted for our wedding day. One of those times when I was trying to pull an opinion out of him on something as trivial as whether or not to have chocolate covered strawberries, I finally just asked him..."What do you want? What do you see when you see our wedding day?" His answer...."I don't want to say my vows in front of 250 people...I just want to get married on the beach with our families..." So, that was it. We compromised (although I'm not sure you can call it that, because now I love the idea of getting away with our families for our most special day as much as he did) on a small destination wedding and a large reception in Dallas with all of our friends and family members. The more we looked into it and the more we plan, the more excited I get! I love that I will not only remember our wedding DAY forever, but our wedding WEEK. We will have so many wonderful memories from our week in Mexico with our families that we will be able to share with everyone we love through pictures and stories when we return.

And how could you not love this?? It speaks for itself...
