Hola Novias!
Everybody — and I do mean EVERYBODY — is worried about money these days. The downturn in the economy has made paying for weddings harder for everyone, even couples who have been saving their money and who don’t have over-the-top expectations for their big day. It is definitely possible to have a budget-friendly destination wedding in Vieques or Culebra, but you have to be realistic when you make your choices and keep things under control. Even with a wedding planner helping to guide you, it’s easy to forget about what you meant to spend when you start seeing neat ideas in bridal magazines and wedding websites. So in the spirit of saving money, here are 10 Tips to help you keep that budget under control when planning a Caribbean destination wedding!

Happy Tuesday Everybody!
I’ve had a busy morning, taking both couples that are getting married this weekend through the demographic office to get their marriage licenses. Once again, California is IN THE HOUSE!

Friday night was the Coqui Fire Cook-Off — a contest that requires every entry to have Coqui Fire Hot-Sauce as an ingredient. I entered, but didn’t win. But I didn’t embarrass myself either — I made a passable pork BBQ using their Pina Star sauce. But the guy next to me made these abso-freaking-lutely amazing crepes — heck, I’d have picked him too if I were the judge. Anyway, it was a great time, and everybody was there, and I might have had just a little too much to drink. Imagine that! First time I’ve let loose in a long time. But I felt just awful yesterday. And it reminded me that I’ve been meaning to blog about alcohol and the happy couple on their Caribbean destination wedding weekend. So here we go…

Hola Mis Amigos!
Kaili Klieman and Tyler Clark were married in a sunset ceremony on Martineau Beach on Saturday evening. It was the first time I ever heard the song California Girls used as a processional, but if you’d met the bride and groom, it all made perfect sense.

Hola!
It’s been awhile since I’ve had a good rant on here, but I’ve had a few requests this week that have inspired this one. I’ll keep it brief. If you are going to spend the money, time and effort to come all the way to the Caribbean for your destination wedding weekend, don’t even ask me about using fake flowers for your bouquet!!!
