Part 2: the ceremony & cocktails.

Just before the ceremony, I asked Annah and all of her ladies to come down to the gardens for a few shots. It was such a treat for the eye to see all of those bright colors in the middle of the gardens.

Planning a destination wedding can be a bit tricky, but not if you have a fabulous team of helpers. Linda from Celebrations San Miguel and her team did such an incredible job coordinating the entire day, and they were so much fun to work with. If you are getting married in San Miguel de Allende, you should definitely give them a call.

The mariachis were absolutely amazing. I don't think it's possible to take a bad photo of them -- they're so expressive and entertaining. It's hard not to love them.... I really wanted to bring them home with me and have fabulous Mexican music everyday, but I don't think they would have gone for that.

Introducing....Mr. Tequila man and his faithful friend, tequila donkey. What better way to start out the party than with little shot glass necklaces filled with an unending supply of tequila?

Ohhhh I just wanted to squeeze this little donkey, he was so cute! He strolled right into the party, and when it was time to leave....

....he planted his little hooves into the tiles and would . not . budge. I don't blame him. It was a pretty great party.

Stay tuned for part 3 with shots from Annah & Morgan's reception!
