We so lucked out on the stress-front during our wedding. As in, we had none. 
The staff at Coyaba thought of everything. All we had to do was meet with them for an hour when we arrived (we turned over our decorations, ceremony layout, and determined the line-up) & that was it until the rehearsal. I think the entire run-through of the big day took about 15 minutes. This was the first time that it really hit me - “Wow, I am getting married”!
Loved my J.Crew seersucker dress. We added little loops to each side at the seam & I used a bright pink grosgrain ribbon as a belt for a little POP of color!
While we waited for everyone to get to the wedding lawn, we all just meandered around together, took pictures, and had Red Stripe.
Then it was time to line up. Places, everyone!
As Mama, Petey Quiche, and I made our way down the aisle, I was surprisingly not emotional, & I am a very emotional person. I thought for sure that the waterworks would start—oh well. Oh, I applied a generic cross-hatch Photoshop filter to these pictures because they were blurry and looked bad (note, NOT from Ashley!) - but they are the only ones I have!
How artistic (haha)!
Annnnnnd… the rehearsal was over! Time for family pictures! I emailed Ashley in advance of the wedding because I wanted to make sure we got a few family pictures before the craziness of the weekend set in. A classic Quiche family picture is one where everyone is walking away from the camera, so we had to get one of those as well. 
Up next - steel drums, a Jamaican BBQ, a bonfire & more!
The first 2 and last 2 pictures are by Ashley Colhouer. All others by any one of our guests (or us!)

Love your dress! I’m all for wearing bright colors to the rehearsal
Tip: The “ink outline” filter in photoshop also tends to work really well too I like to use that one, and tends to brighten up the colors at the same time.
Oooh! I love your dress. The color really pops!
I hope I’m not stressing the week of our wedding. Kudos to Coyaba for relieving you of those last minute details!
wow awesome staff at the resort! that’s the way it should be!

I’m still so in love with your dress! And those one pictures looked like watercolor paintings! Very artistic!
Love the dress its so cute! I like that you added the ribbon, it really makes a difference.
I really like the pink pop. I didn’t have the waterworks as I thought I would either! haha
