Good Monday Morning,
This week's MMP is a special Sayulita wedding edition.
Chelsey, the boys, and I hopped on a plane on Thursday and flew to Puerto Vallarta. From there we drove about 45 minutes north to Sayulita to celebrate the fact that Kate the Great agreed to marry my brother.
Sayulita is a funky surf town nestled into a beautiful bay on the Riveria Nayarit. We ate street tacos, oogled giant iguanas perched in trees, played at the beach, and in the pool.
We stayed at the amazing Villa Amor hotel, perched at the top of the mountain over Sayulita's gorgeous bay. Our views were incredible. We drove golf carts up and down the mountain to breakfast. We swung on a swing over our patio. We enjoyed amazing service, good food, and a few too many Pacificos.
It was an action packed weekend that culminated with an amazing wedding on Saturday night.
The ceremony was fantastic. The boys and I made their way down the aisle without a stumble. Cha-cha did an incredible job as officiant. His 3rd go at the job. The vows exchanged between Rob and Kate were honest, beautifully written, and left not a single dry eye in the house.
The reception was unlike any I'd ever been to. It was held outside our beautiful villa, on a giant brick patio. The food was great. The conversation was fantastic. So many laughs.
Seeing cousins from both sides of the family raise a shot of tequila to Rob & Kate was a small highlight among many for me.
With dinner done, and dancing begun, so came the rain.
Not just a sprinkle; an almost-equatorial, torrential, down pour.
It was welcome relief from the heat and humidity and didn't stop the party one bit. In fact, I'm pretty sure it upped everyone's enthusiasm as the dance floor erupted when the rain arrived. Shirts were shed, tossed up on to the overhanging light strings, and the dancing continued.
Fun was had by all.
We wrapped up with brunch. The boys squeezed in a couple more hours of pool time with their aunties and cousins. Then we hopped on a plane home.
Today, here at my desk, I'm completely exhausted, bug still smiling.
Have a great week. I hope that the love that was so abundant this weekend reaches you through these photos.
We are very, very lucky.
