Real Wedding - Lyn & Erwin!

A big 'felicidades' to Lyn and Erwin on their marriage December 6 in beautiful Tamarindo!

It was a perfect day, with blue skies and a gorgeous sunset. Over 40 folks made the trek down from New York to celebrate with the happy couple. The ceremony featured a full Catholic mass on Langosta Beach and then dinner and dancing by the pool at Villas Cala Luna.



What a great love story - their moms were best friends since the 1970s so the kids literally grew up together. Lyn was Erwin's first official crush as a kid but it wasn't until a couple of years ago that they realized they were really perfect for each other. During their slide show, there were tons of photos of them together over the years on family outings. How amazing will it be for their kids to see those old family photos!

And who doesn't love a cute ring bearer? What a sweetie!

Purple is Lyn's favorite color so we featured it in the flowers, linens, ink on the menus, in varying shades with silver to add a bit of bling to the overall effect. Orchids were the flower of choice, given their colors as well as hardiness and that Costa Rica is a major exporter of them.

Finishing off the party was the wild drumming and hip-shaking dancing of 'carnival' or 'comparse'. Think of it as a touch of Rio in Costa Rica. No one was immune to the infectious rhythm (even the priest was shakin' things up with the befeathered dancers). Good times :)

Many years of happiness to you both, Lyn and Erwin, and thank you so much for allowing us the honor to be a part of your wonderful day!
