Sandy and Rommel jetted down from Atlanta to Costa Rica to have the party of a lifetime. About 70 of their nearest and dearest joined them to celebrate the couple tying the knot. The wedding took place at Casa Amarillo, a beautiful villa located along the Pacific Coast and overlooking Dominical Beach. 

Sandy and her bridesmaids were getting ready in one of the rooms at the Villa. I started with them, Sandy and Rommel's sweet daughter was also joining in on the festivities.

At some point while Sandy was getting ready I met up with Rommel on the other side of the house to get a few getting ready photos of him.

Sandy and Rommel decided to do a first look, to get many of the photos taken before the ceremony so that they could have more time to spend with their friends and family after the wedding.

The ceremony was held on a terrace just outside the main building. Sandy looked on from her room as guests made their way in. If you haven't caught on by now Sandy and Rommel like to have a good time and know how to party. I was expecting a lighthearted ceremony full of jokes, but was pleasantly surprised and heard one of the most heartfelt and touching ceremonies ever. I wish I remembered what their friend said about marriage because it really was just perfect.

After the ceremony the guests were invited to cocktail hour, and the cocktail hour lasted all night. Instead of doing a traditional dinner Sandy and Rommel had passed h'orderves all night long. Pictured below are just a few from the night. I loved the idea because people could walk around and talk and everyone got to taste a big variety of food,

We caught the sunset from the pool for a few more portraits, but quickly returned to the party.

Sandy and Rommel did not have your ordinary wedding cake. They kicked it up a notch and had a tequila shot tower instead, complete with monogrammed name topper and all.

As if the tequila shot wedding cake was not enough, Sandy surprised Rommel with a cigar roller!

Sandy spent a good portion of her evening with us, the staff and vendors from the wedding. It was so sweet of her to insist that we all took a photo together. I hardly ever get to be in any photos.

No surprise that this party ended in the pool, in fact I believe guests were instructed to bring their swimsuits.
