May 30-June 6, 2023
As we flew into Cancun it was raining really hard so we had to circle for about 45 minutes before we could land. It was rainy and dark when we arrive at our resort the El Dorado Royale. We had to use umbrellas as we walked around to explore the resort. The first two nights we were there we had torrential rains, like buckets of rain falling. So we were a little worried about the night of Berklee's wedding. We hoped and prayed that the weather would cooperate. Our prayers were answered. It was a little windy during the ceremony but no rain. The minute the ceremony was over it started to rain, but the rain only lasted for about 20 minutes and we were able to do pictures on the beach and the smore's bar and dancing on the beach. So it all worked out as planned. The rest of the trip we didn't have anymore rain.
Cute Savannah, Berklee's bridesmaid, did her hair. She was so sweet and helpful! She volunteered to do all the bridesmaids hair.
This was Berklee's theme for her wedding. Below I will tell the full story of this sign. haha
At the smore's/dance party after the wedding dinner. They had a smores bar to die for. It was THE best smores I have ever had. They all kind of fruit toppings and the best homemade graham crackers.
As a large group we did a Cenote excursion. Berklee & Sinjun's friends were so much fun. We visited 5 different cenotes. It was a total blast. We had the funnest tour guide. He loved us so much that he threw in an extra cenote just for our group.
Our first cenote we rappelled down into a cave. The water was FREEZING! We all got to jump into the freezing cold water. The 2nd cenote was my favorite. It was out in the open so the cenote water was warm and our guide let us go several times on each zip line. We would zip line right into the cenote. It was a blast. The 3rd cenote was beautiful and we kayaked around the cenote river. The 4th cenote we were able to snorkel and see a few fish. Honestly there wasn't much to see but the lilly pads were beautiful. The last cenote was huge. We were able to zip line in and then swim around it and at the end were were able to cliff jump. It was so much fun!
I know my helmet looks dumb. My head is too small for any kind of hat or helmet! haha
Berklee had wanted to have a sign with this cute butterfly saying on it at her wedding. We had talked about it months before the wedding. We decided that it would be too difficult to try and travel with a huge sign. So we came up with the idea of using a canvas sign that could easily be folded up and traveled with. Sinjun said he had a friend that could print what they wanted on the sign. I kept asking Berklee if they had the sign taken care of. She assured me they did. I had a friend that could have also done it for us as well. I stopped asking because Berklee had assured me that they had the sign done. The morning of the wedding when I went over to Berklee's place to help her get ready she pulled out a folded blank canvas from the package that I had ordered months ago for them on Amazon and some vinyl lettering that Sinjun's friend had printed for them. They hadn't made a single attempt to assemble the sign. I spent an hour trying to use a basic iron to get the folded creases out. Then came the really difficult part, applying vinyl to canvas. It doesn't work! Vinyl does not stick to canvas. It was a complete nightmare. It took me almost 4 hours to get it done. Thank goodness for Lindsey, another one of Berklee's bridesmaids. If Lindsey hadn't helped there is no way it would have gotten done. I was a little upset with them. I wasn't really able to get myself ready! UGH! I was just happy that we were able to get the sign done. If you look closely you will see that Sinjun's name was spelled wrong. You can't make this up! The morale of this story is I should have just taken charge of the sign! haha
