Right around a year from today.
Saturday
Jackie's parents are coming to look at wedding venues.
We take a walk up the beach to meet them at Treehouse, where they are staying for the next couple days.
We end up having lunch at treehouse and then taking a hike down the beach. We stop at all of the good spots. Sun Beach, Sunnyside, Yellowbird, Kuyaba, Bourbon etc.
Meanwhile we look at a few venues to stay at and and wed at.
Now, I think this night we go up to Ivans for dinner. We had a fantastic meal. This is where Jackie and her mom now have their sights set on having the wedding. I pretty much think it is a done deal at this point.
On the way home we stop at no limit bar for a drink, then we stop at our hotel for some music.
Have they looked at Moon Dance Cliffs? I only ask because they have a lot more room to spread out, and are generally far less busy than Ivan's. It's a very nice setting, and they seem to do a very good job with weddings there.Quote:

Well. I mixed my days up.
Saturday we went to sea star for the show.
Sunday we did ivans.
Oh well.
Saturday I helped Rasta Stan collect tips for the band. I met Capt. I wish I could have met him under less loud circumstances.
See the previous Saturday thread for details about Saturday.
I love the Sea Star but yes it can get loud and really hard to carry on a conversation.
Man I gotta get on here more!!! My first Bob shot .... my last Bob shot! OMG IT WAS HORRIBLE! I adore you & Jackie! Gosh I miss everyone. Wish we had all spent more time together!!!!
Superb shot of the Beaches sailboat with the beach and table in the foreground! Not to mention the happy picnic-ers.
Thank you. Was one of my favorites as well
This is it. It's over grover. I will run ya over with my landrover.
Anyways
The plan is to meet up at our hotel at noon. Jackie and I have our morning breakfast at Bar B Barn (not sure if I mentioned, but this is where we ate most breakfasts).
We went back to travellers and hung out on the beach. THE WATER WAS BROWN FROM THE RIVER! OOOOOHHHHH NOOOOOEEEEZ! WHAT EVER WILL WE DO!. IT MUST BE POOP BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT COLOR POOP IS! NO JAMAICANS SWIM IN IT! I saw several Jamaicans swimming, the swam through out to the clear area, but no one seemed scared like it was poop.
Anyhow, Jackie's parent's met us and it was time to split up.
I took Tom (Father in law to be) on a walk to red ground.
Jackie and here mom were off to Catcha to finalize our wedding stuff.
Tom and I had a nice walk up to Red Ground. We stopped at Collette's and had a couple frosy beers, then went to red dragon, where we had some pork and great company with Rob, Lisa, Groove and Janet.
Lots of beers. good time. Tom loved the pork.
Janet fixed me up a bag of stuff to take to Deedra at Natural Mystic bar. Natural Mystic is one of my favorites.
We got a quick ride down there, to catch the end of a pretty big soccer match. We had more beers and I played with deedra for a bit. I look at the clock and we were supposed to meet the women at Xtabi at 4. It was getting close, so we headed up there.
We got to Xtabi, got a drink went into the caves, then did some cliff jumping and swimming.
At some point during the jumping my weener cam out of my shorts and I was unaware. That's how I greeted jackie and her mom. DOH..
Anyway. I get the news. The wedding date is set! Deposit was made! CHARELA INN. Evidently. Catcha was not very easy to work with and Jackie was reduced to tears. I think they may have lost something with the people that moved on to Firefly.
Charela inn was willing to do whatever Jackie wanted for our (her) day, and being on the beach is just fine by me.
We had some dinner at 3 dives.
Went home and packed.
I ended up meeting up with groove and Janet at 3am at errols hours later.
Slept on the ride to airport the next morning.
the rest is history. I have some pics I will post later.
Awesome report and pictures Flip,hope we cross paths at Thanksgiving and can have a few cold ones.
Awesome, your wedding at Charella, ill be at White Sands, so ill be at the wedding nomatter what. :)
just kidding!!! In all seriousness, congratulations, I surely know a happy couple when I see it :)
Me too. Thanksgiving and early may have been my favorite times to visit so far.Quote:

Nice report Flip. It was good to see you in April. Congrats on the wedding venue. They do a beautiful job at Charela. Saw a few weddings take place there.
yeah flip- locked and loaded! Wish you two the best!
I chuckle a bit because it makes me think of this wedding at Seasplash we witnessed... there is no security there... not sure if you guys know the beach walker/wanna-be jiggalo named Ziggy aka Farmer Ziggy (although I'm 100% positive there is no way this kid is a farmer). So as the bride's parents are walking down the 'beach aka isle' he is right up in their faces, "HIGHGRADE!" "HIGHGRADE!" I could tell the father was not impressed... at all. We got a good laugh out of this.
So anyway- make sure security is present to keep the sellers at bay.
Mo, good to see you to, and thanks!
JoJo, we need dancers at the wedding
Nori, glad to hear. And thanks
murph. That's too effin funny. It would almost be fitting if something like that happened.
Nice presentation! Guess that's where "Flip" comes from.Quote:
