We had the most incredible time in Cancun! We stayed at El Dorado Royal Casitas by Karisma. We were in the Casitas portion of the resort. Our room had an outdoor shower, outdoor bed, our own pool which linked to the lazy river to the main pool with the swim up bar. We had 24 hour room service and a morning butler and an evening butler.
Basically, it was heavenly.. except the humidity lol
We spent each of our days at the pool lounging.. napping.. ordering room service. It was so simple and peaceful. Everyone was so friendly and the food was delish! I ordered chips + guac every day + the occasional taco and quesadilla plate.
We did one excursion together.. we went snorkeling at the near by reefs. It was beautiful.. but I would be lying if I said I had a blast bc I had a freak out bc I hate water so that was fun. lol We were so sad to leave but excited to start real life together. We really want to be able to go back sometime soon! Catch up on my latest posts here: Weekly update 14 Bridal Luncheon My instagram (:
The day before the wedding my three aunts threw me the sweetest bridal luncheon for all of my bridesmaids. They hosted it at a local restaurant in their event room so we got to have some space to ourselves which was super nice. It was a good time to be able to relax and not stress about wedding stuff with my girls and just enjoy their company. I’ve always known I’ve had great friends but wedding season is when I saw their love the most. I am so so grateful for each and every gal I have by my side. They make any situation better and I have never felt more love than I did on my wedding weekend. They were so intentional, excited, kind and I just loved every minute I got to spend with them. The real MVPs. It was so awesome to have all of my different friends in one place as well. I want to get married again just to be able to spend so much time with them again. + we got to eat some yummy foods before more wedding festivities began that evening.
To say this past weekend was incredible would be a major understatement. Y’all I LOVE my friends. They gave me the best weekend. The whole weekend I just kept thinking how lucky I was that these are my people and how they would take out a weekend (or a few) of their busy lives to hang out and celebrate my almost marriage! We laughed all weekend and reminisced on the sweetest memories. I’ve never felt so loved by a group of people. I want to get married every month bc I want more weekends like this one!! I started the weekend early on Thursday night by heading to Clemson and grabbing din at my fav Mexican place that helped me survive college. After our tummies were full of queso… I gave my bridesmaid Bailey a tour of campus bc she had never been before! We went back to my moh’s house and watched Secret Obsession on Netflix. It was soooo good! The next morning we woke up early.. picked up starbucks and hit the road to Charleston! We jammed to all my fav music and chatted the whole way down. First thing when we got to Charleston was head to Shem Creek and eat at Saltwater Cowboy. We all got shrimp salads… so yummy!!
After lunch, we picked up groceries for the weekend and headed to the airbnb to unpack. I set up these cute little cups and treats for all of the girls! #IDoCrew
After we got settled, we immediately headed to Isle of Palms to soak in some sun before dinner.
When we got back to the house, all of the other girls had arrived! We had a yummy taco dinner, played games, shared stories, talked about all of our friendships, and they threw me a little lingerie shower! After that.. it was time for sleep!
We woke up early again the next morning to ensure we had the most time on the beach! We just hung out on the beach the majority of the day. It was so relaxing and great gal pal time!
After the beach, we headed back to the house to get ready for the evening. We had dinner st Stars downtown. It was so yummy! After dinner we went up to the rooftop to hang out more! Once it got later it got super crowded so half of the group decided to head back to the airbnb and the other half of us went to dance! I only dance when I’m with my gal pals so I was taking full advantage of the occasion! Then we headed back to the house to head to bed before traveling back the next day.
I love my friends to the end of the world. I’m glad to say my bachelorette was a success! But with friends like these how could it not be?!?!? XOXO, E.
