What a great question you ask, to put it simply... It's a wedding, while on vacation. We would very much love as many of our loved ones to be there and to also have a great time on a great vacation without the worry of sweating it out under the Mexico sun in a button up and dress pants.
Traveling is always a good time, but sometimes the booking process is stressful. For ease and careless booking we are providing our travel agents information for everyone to use if they choose to. Jackie Fucarino out of Travel Center, Inc. is a great agent who we have used for years. You can reach her most at tcijackie@yahoo.com or at 847-363-9609. There is always the option to book directly to the hotel off of one of many travel websites on the webs.
We can't all sparkle like the fashionistas we know the bride and groom to be, but we encourage everyone to wear what is comfortable.
Whilst the idea of a ceremony, aisle, dress, suit, sandy shoes, sandy butt crack, sandy....well, sandy everything....sounds absolutely ahhhhh-mazing, we have opted out of the wedding lifestyle and are keeping it super simple. There will be a beach cocktail party starting at 5:00 p.m. and during sunset, we will ask everyone to gather to witness as my dear friend Nancy performs a brief ceremony (judging how the proposal went, I will cry, just a heads up). After the vows and the woo-hoos everyone is welcome to go to the dinner location of their choosing. If you want to, you can also do something else...CAUSE WE'RE IN MEXICO and you can just do that sort of thing.
Literally everyone! If you received an invite and want to bring a plus one, do it. If you have kids that aren't on the actual paper invite but want to bring them, do it. If your parents are interested in a fall vacation and you need a little extra help with the kids, do it.
We would absolutely love to have all of you with us for this occasion but understand that it is a lot to ask out of everyone. If you are unable to make it just send us a lovely message. We do not have any intention of doing a registry and will more than appreciate the well wishes.
