Mexico Day 3

Wedding! We made our way to the fancy resort bright an early, thinking if we had to spend money on a day pass, we may as well make the best of it. It turned out the bride and groom had already taken care of the day passes for today, so we felt a little more red-faced about last night's drama. Of course, if we'd known we wouldn't have to pay for the day passes today, we would have just bit the bullet and paid the money last night. But there was nothing to be done about it at this point.

We quickly found J's mom, dad, and step-mother and commenced to relaxing. The appeal of the all-inclusive resort was apparent immediately: there were restaurants and bars spread out over the whole resort and you simply had to desire something before it was placed in front of you. J and I went off to eat a fancy little breakfast and then joined his family on the beach. His step-mother and I lasted until about 11:00 am before ordering tropical drinks from the swim up bar in one of the pools. There was white linen fluttering in the breeze of beach cabanas everywhere you looked. It was exactly like how you'd imagine it from a movie or commercial or any internet ad for a tropical vacation.

The wedding ceremony was short and sweet. Though it hadn't rained all week, little flashes of lightening were in the distance. The clouds parted just as they were saying their vows and it was very cinematic.

After stuffing ourselves with food and drinks, we stumbled back to the hotel and collapsed into bed a very tired and sun-soaked couple.
