*Disclaimer: I can’t even describe how difficult it is to pick only a few pictures for these recaps! When I can’t pick just one (or two), I’m going to start inserting photo collages. Not only do they look great, but you don’t miss anything either! Thanks, Mrs. Quiche :)
We didn’t want to burden our family and friends with organized activities (after all, this is also a vacation for them, not just our wedding!), but we wanted to adequately thank them for traveling to Jamaica to celebrate with us. By Thursday night, everyone was on the island and ready to party. We wanted to get everyone away from the resort for a bit to experience another part of Montego Bay. Mr. Quiche headed up this adventure - chartering a catamaran!
He contacted a few different places before settling on Chokey Taylor’s Freestyle catamaran. As an added bonus, Chokey Taylor is also an awesome reggae singer… and his website is always a treat to peruse. 
As a matter of fact, I recommend opening it in a new tab & listening to the music while you finish reading this recap!
Everyone left their beach chairs around 3 or 4 to start getting ready.
We gathered in the beautiful courtyard at Coyaba, then took a couple of bus trips to the boat docks at Doctor’s Cave Beach in MoBay. The weather was on our side & we had a gorgeous night for sailing. We decided to have a 2 hour sunset cruise with music, dancing, rum punch, & Red Stripe. Ya Mon!

Does this girl know how to Blue Steel, or what?!
You can also charter daytime sails with snorkeling. That went against everything I was about that weekend - snorkeling (remember my cautious side? Yep, that includes swimming with the fishies & other undesirables!) and TAN LINES. So, that “forced” a sunset cruise.
Which was just fine with us! Everyone let loose and danced!
While a lot of our friends and family from across the country have met before, it was so nice to have everyone together in one area to get to know each other better. I loved seeing my Ohio girls hanging out with Mr. Q’s friends, etc. We are lucky to have such great friends and family who all get along beautifully.
As much as I love photojournalistic pictures, I also LOVE posed shots where everyone is looking into the camera and smiling! A collage of smiling faces makes me happy!
It was nice to see another perspective of Montego Bay!

All together now!
I am so glad that we organized the sail. It was one of the highlights of the trip!

I totally agree about how warm and fuzzy it makes me feel when Mr. Bruschetta’s and my friends mesh well together.
I absolutely love that dress & necklace! So bright! It really makes you stand out as the bride!
That is a great shot of your new family Such adorable kids!
The catamaran looks like it was a hit!
He he. Love the pics- your dress pops in all of them- and I read it while listening to the music- is it bad that I feel like I need another vacation already??
Your eyes pop so much with that yellow dress. Pretty pretty
I’m so jealous and you haven’t even got to your WEDDING yet. So gorgeous there!
fiance and i also have different groups of friends. we probably have 4 each from all different aspects of our lives… high school, college, work, church. it’s great to have them hang out together and click so well.
Mrs. Quiche,
We took a catamaran ride when we were in Jamaica and let me just say Catamaran & Red Stripe = Best time EVER.
I can still remember the music booming, sitting on the edge of the catamaran with my body hugging the rails and a Red Stripe on the side.
For some reason Red Stripe just doesn’t taste the same OFF a catamaran! =)
GREAT idea for thanking your guests!
Beautiful… These pics make me wanna run to the airport and board the next flight
I’m with Peep- reading this makes me want to go on vacation!!! Looks like you had tons of fun!
We went to Jamaica for our honeymoon and reading your amazing recaps is making me want DESPERATELY to go back!
So Lovely Quiche! Can’t wait for more! You are so fortunate to have such a big DW showing!
@Gerbera: Man! Now I want to be sitting on the edge of a catamaran, Red Stripe in hand!!
@Mrs. Quiche:
Can we say Anniversary gift?
Seriously though, that was one of the most memorable parts of that trip we took. =)
And how can I forget how my toes would dip into the water for a brief second when the catamaran hit a wave or the quick 2 second cool down by the waves hitting your face! =D
