I am going to let Becky post this one since I'm not allowed to use the camera and she is.....
As you all know our Goddaughter Heather was married to Bill Maris in Cancun on October 10th and I've not yet posted pictures of any of the wedding events and/or the vacation part of the trip to Cancun. Believe me, it has been a challenge as I must have a zillion pictures to choose from and am sure none of you want to see them all! Have sorted these into events and picked what I thought was the best of the best for each one. Many thanks to Sandy, Heather & Bill, Tony & Kathy and the tour folks for the ones I've chosen.
Click to see any or all of these you are interested in and thanks so much for stopping by the blog! We'd love to hear from you.
This was hosted by her bridesmaids, Anna, Beth & Courtney, at the Cedar Rapids Country Club In August.
This was hosted by Bill's family at a restaurant in Bolingbrook.
The wedding was at the Excellence Playa Mujeres resort a bit north of the city of Cancun. It was a beautiful setting, the bride was gorgeous and everything was much like a fairy tale!
We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation time in Cancun. We were there a whole week and lived in the lap of pure luxury! The resort is elegant and we spent way too much time enjoying the fruits of "all-inclusive". The food was outstanding, there were a LOT of pools and we spent many hours in them. The spa there was in my opinion outstanding - at least I enjoyed it! We did a bit of shopping one day in the town of Cancun. Harvey went fishing one day on very rough seas and came home having caught several Amberjack, a Barracuda and something unknown that broke a 50 lb. test line. He came home with the snout of the Barracuda and convinced one of the cooks to boil the meat off so we could bring the teeth home and I was cautious what I ordered for dinner that night. They are currently on display on our kitchen counter and the pictures of the fish are yet to be available. The eight of us "oldies" from Cedar Rapids/Marion went on a catamaran trip to Isla Mujeres (about a 40 minute boat ride from Cancun) one day where we met a wonderful young couple, Kathy & Tony. While the tour was not as advertised I believe each of us had a great time and enjoyed the day. We had the opportunity to snorkel, shop on Isla Mujeres, have lunch there, swim with a shark, get awfully sunburned and laugh a lot.
The entire trip was wonderful! A real vacation and that is something we haven't had in ages! We truly enjoyed every event and thank Heather and Bill for including us in this most special time of their lives. We look forward to celebrating one more time with them at a reception in Bolingbrook next weekend.
Becky & Harvey
