Cabo (day one and two)

As I have mentioned (and as my facebook friends have seen) I went to Cabo a few weeks ago for my cousin's wedding! My cousin Brittany married her college sweetheart Javier who we have known and loved for a long time now! We are so glad they are married and that Javier is now "officially" in the family (not that we didn't all consider him family already, but now it's just officially official).

Unfortunately, Adam and Bennett were not able to come with me but I did go with two of my brothers and my parents. Aaron and Casey are always a good time!

We flew out on Thursday from LAX and Aaron and I lucked out big time and had an empty seat in our row!

Upon arrival we went and got a rental car, all they had was a Jetta... needless to say we were a little squishy in the back seat!

 

The Hotel we stayed at was amazing! It was so beautiful, the architecture was fantastic and the view from our room was unbelievable!

Yes, we had a two story room!

The first night, after a somewhat disastrous attempt at ordering food and expecting to get it with in an hour, we had a "meet and great" cocktail party for the majority of the 50 guests who had already arrived.

The next morning my mom and I were invited to Brittany's "Bridesmaid and Ladies I Love" breakfast. It was great and this was the beginning of me realizing just how good I was going to eat for the rest of the weekend! Everything tasted amazing!

After the breakfast, the bridesmaids and Brittany headed up to the "bridal suite" where we spent our afternoon receiving messages, eye and scalp treatments and having our nails painted while Brittany had her trial hair and make-up done for the next day. It was rather wonderful!

After a quick nap it was off to the Mission in downtown for the rehearsal.

On our way back up to our room we saw the photographers (Gary and Courtney) standing a few feet from our door looking over the balcony talking to Brittany and Javier so we had to go see what they were doing right ...

I can't wait to see their professional pictures! They are going to be so so so so good!

The rehearsal dinner looked like something out of a movie! It was stunning and I had such a great time at dinner sitting with my brothers and 3 out of 4 of the other bridesmaids and their husbands.

Although some people went out afterwords, this pregnant bridesmaid (and actually, now that I think of it, the other pregnant bridesmaid did too) went straight to bed! I knew the next day was going to be long and fun and I didn't want to miss a thing!
