What a weekend! Congratulation Sarah and Kerwin Deese on a fun-filled and beautiful tropical wedding in Nosara this past Saturday. We hope that your lives together will always reflect on the incredible way that you chose to sanctify your union.
The festivities began Saturday morning at 10 am with a ladies-only brunch at the Harmony Hotel. We toasted the bride, shared great stories, sipped on mimosas, and indulged ourselves in the scents of all of the bride's gifts (the invitation read: 'Candles and Perfume are her pleasure- bring her something that she'll treasure'). Kemper was invited and especially enjoyed the monkey shaped lollipops at each place setting.
The afternoon activities continued at the Guilded Iguana, where the majority of the group met to play bocee ball and lounge poolside midday. After an afternoon nap, we all met at La Luna in Playa Pelada for the wedding ceremony and reception.
I was awestruck at the beauty of the ceremony. A large tent (lined with sheer fabric- softening the lighting above) was erected in the lawn of the La Luna restaurant, which housed bamboo chairs-outfitted with fans and bubbles- for the guests.

The bride walked down the rose-pedal strewn aisle lined with tiki torches with her father, to the beat of a talented three-piece mariachi band.

Kemper took the ceremony very seriously...
After a touching, twenty minute ceremony performed by a Costa Rican attorney, the guests were invited to cool down with wet hand towels (nice touch!). A champagne toast, pictures, delicious buffet and open bar paved the way for a fantastic, dance-filled evening. It was a night to remember.

The bridal party's dinner table
(each place setting was fitted with a card informing the guests that a donation in their honor had been made to the 'Save the Howler' fund- helping to prevent and treat howler monkeys disfigured by 'hot' power line injuries)
I will find out the name of the couple's wedding coordinator- I never met her, but I was so thoroughly impressed with the event that I want to give her credit!
Congratulations, again, to the happy couple. Sarah & Kerwin, thank you for choosing our town to celebrate your marriage. Way to go! Nicely done! We wish you all of the happiness that the world has to offer. We look forward to spending the rest of the week with you.
