Countdown to W-Day: Sunday, May 1

This is the story of the epic (if we may say so ourselves) Ixapa wedding of Edouard and Camelia, seen through the eyes of the latter, with (promised) ulterior posts from the groom.

Chapter 2: Working hard on the tan!

Mom and I have leisurely breakfast and mom discovers that dessert is served with every meal. From that point on, she refuses to behave like an adult and has nothing but desserts and coffee for almost every meal… We lie by the pool in the morning and move to the beach in the afternoon. We also claim our spots in the pool bar, where we will spend many pleasant hours over Pina Colada and cigs (mom) and Agua de Melon (me, trying very hard to be good and fit in my wedding dress come Saturday). Overall, Sunday is quiet and relaxed. We work on our tans and drink and eat like fiends.

Mom is very proud of her new straw hat and bag

The view from our hotel room.

Oh, yeah, and we get wind that somehow Osama Bin Laden has been taken out of the picture for good. I take that as a good sign for Obama's reelection chances and in general for our wedding and we go to bed with the TV on, watching CNN. 

A new flower pattern on our beds every day ...
