A couple of weeks ago I was invited to the wedding of D. and C. in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. They live in San Francisco, which is also where I met them, but they were going to have an intimate ceremony with 40-50 people in Mexico, so it was a real honor for me to be there.
They wedding was held on the beach of the Grand Sunset Princess, an all-inclusive resort right on the turquoise waves of the Caribbean sea. Endless acres of land, incorporating a number of restaurants, pools and other amenities to accommodate the guests of their 1500 rooms. The term "all-inclusive" means that once you pay for your room, all consumption of any kind is free within the walls of the resort. In other words, we're talking about a heavily alcohol-infused culinary extravaganza while lounging by the side of the pool.
The whole resort was beautiful and luxurious beyond belief. Most people there, however were a little bit too pretentious, shallow and loud for my tastes, so the night time was more appealing to me.
As for the wedding itself, breathtaking. A beautiful ceremony, right by the beach, hosted in between two palm trees, graced with the presence of many joyful, elegant participants.

It was a quick, 4-day escape to a gorgeous part of Mexico, filled with fun people, exciting memories and lots and lots of food!
