The next day, Mr Breezy and I woke up and looked at each other. Could it really be true? The morning of the wedding had finally arrived!
That’s right, we had stayed in the same room the night before the wedding. I actually wanted to be separated but Mr Breezy didn’t think it was a big deal so I went along with it. It was a bit complicated to figure out and at that point, our heads just could just not handle any more logistics. However, if I had a do-over, I’d have tried harder. It was sort of weird to walk into the buffet restaurant together that morning to grab a bite before the craziness of the day began.
Back at the suite, we kissed goodbye and… I closed the sliding doors.
Because we had a big suite, the guys got ready on the lounge side, and on the other side of the sliding doors, we girls were primping. I loved that setup because I could still yell at - um, I mean yell to - Mr Breezy through a crack in the doors whenever I remembered something we’d forgotten to do (yes it happened). Plus our awesome photographers could go back and forth between the guys and the girls easily.
Before long, the wedding party and a few others started trickling in.
The guys got off to a slow start…
… but it was nothing a little CR couldn’t fix.
It started working pretty fast I think, because the kissing and muscle flexing soon followed.
Mr Breezy, haven’t you learned yet that first place in the gun show always goes to your father-in-law?
OK boys, enough drinking. Time to get dressed.
While I had my ’something old, something new’, Mr Breezy’s sentimental items were his grandfather’s cufflinks and the watch his parents gave him at his high school graduation.
Hmmm… looks like some last minute alterations were in order.
My email to the groomsmen about their shoes worked!
When all was said and done, the groomsmen did their duty and got Mr Breezy dressed.
Mr Breezy’s gifts to his guys were engraved humidors filled with the Dominican cigars he had purchased the day before.
Don’t they look handsome?
Just a few steps away, us girls were fussing (and wondering what was making the guys laugh so hard next door!)…

Mrs. Sea Breeze I gotta say I love your posts! Its great to see that you blog all the time cause I can’t wait to see your actually wedding! Keep them coming!
I don’t know what it is, but I just adore the way you write your posts and find myself looking forward to them every time!
Those are GREAT shots! Good Job Photophil and your very photogenic groom and his men
Also kudos to Mr. SB on the gift!
I love your posts bc that’s my country! I grew up there and feel like part of my heart is always there.. I wanted to make things easy for my fiance’s family and our friends so we’re having our wedding in Boston - but DR would have been beautiful!
Your post-wedding recaps could be an all-time WB best!
I love how PhotoPhil has taken on a life of his own within WeddingBee!!
I agree with El Capataz - I LOVE your recaps. I feel like I am reading a story and I can’t wait for the next installment! Thanks for sticking to your guns and making us follow the story as it happened ….but I can’t wait to see the ceremony pics!
@MagPie518: I own so many purple things, it’s not even funny anymore.
@LzzNYC: Well you are very lucky, the DR is such a gorgeous, gorgeous place!
@MsJoe: @RobinBananas: @El Capataz: @Janna19: Aw, thanks SO MUCH you guys. I’m so glad you’re having fun reading these. It makes me want to drop everything right this minute and go write some more (even if it means Mr Breezy continues his whining about how come I never pay attention to him any more, haha).
I second janna19, your posts are great. The guys outfits turned out great. Also you gotta love man love.
Also its great that your dad got in on the fun with the boys. Silly Mr. Breezy thinking he could win.
I love the picture of the groomsmen dressing Mr. Breezy. It’s so funny!
Wow, the outfits you picked out are fabulous! You have a great eye for menswear!! I remember your post about it, so cool! Love the shoes!!
that first photo of them is too funny. i really like the suit/shirt/tie combo you chose.
I let him win the gun show
@Mr. Breezy: And it’s probably the smartest thing you’ve ever done, honey. Other than marry me, of course.
guys are often neglected when it comes to wedding pics. these are SO awesome!
I’m still in love with the grey suits, Breezy! that is exactly what I’m looking for for my guys!
Also, who are the suits by? I just can’t seem to find the light grey I’m looking for.
What a great looking group!
What a great photo shoot! I love the one with the 3 guys “dressing” Mr. Breezy!
Where did you get the humidors from?
I was looking to purchase one for my husband and I love the engraved idea!
The boys look so handsome! I’m looking forward to the rest of your recaps!
@mandalynn17: We got the suits at a store called Le Chateau of all places. Definitely not somewhere I’d normally look but hey, we got lucky.
@Sarah: Mr Breezy bought them from cheaphumidors.com. He got one for himself too - it’s gorgeous and it sits on top our dresser now.

About Me: Planning a destination wedding by the sea should be (oh no she di-in't…) a breeze (…*sigh* yep, she did) but when you've never been to the Caribbean, your powers of imagination are really put to the test. Luckily, I'm 90% resourceful, creative optimist (and kooky, neurotic practicalist-if-that's-a-word for the other ten). Other than writing about our week-long celebration of family, friends, laughter and love, I adore books, shoes and… you guessed it… long walks on the beach.
