Rockstars!!!

What started off as a fun and exciting getaway to the Dominican Republic with our friends Jamie and Annie turned into a dream vacation! We checked into the resort expecting to have swim out rooms however, were pleasantly surprised to have been upgraded to private villa. But with a little a disappointment of no water in our backyard we found ourselves upgraded yet again to their second largest suite on the entire property. There is no doubt about it, we lived like Rockstars while staying a Secrets Sanctuary in Punta Cana. We had a thousand nicknames for our massive suite but nothing can really do it justice unless you see it with your own eyes. I would encourage anyone to go stay here!!!

Our Villa

The top level is our RockStar Suite

In addition to our amazing accomodations, the resort had the friendliest and funniest staff we've ever met. We all had been given nicknames after our first night there and had best buddies for the rest of the vacation. We did a lot of lounging poolside, on the beach, and rafts...that conveniently floated over to the swim-up bar. So it was a very relaxing vacation but we also managed to squeeze in some water volleyball, snorkeling, and a water trampoline. And of course their was a casino on grounds so that kept Shaun happy for quite awhile! We loved every second of this vacation and even walked away with prizes for the best male and female in the beer chugging competition, something to be proud of =)

Iced

So Bonnie got iced with jewelry but the groom got iced with Smirnoff, what a wedding weekend! The fun started the second we arrived and never stopped, I don't think anyone does weddings better than New Jersey!!! All I can say is no one went thirsty or hungry.

Friday started with a Ladies Luncheon and mani/pedis, can we say pampered much! But that evening at the Rehearsal dinner was when we were introduced to the game Chris plays with his friends and boy did it add a lot excitement to the night. Chris forgo the traditional groomsmen gifts for beer holsters. Why you ask? Because it is the perfect accessory to help prevent you from getting iced! Needless to say a cooler of Smirnoff Ice appeared and everyone was working hard on their strategy for the weekend.

On Saturday, while the bridesmaids were busy getting pampered even more, Shaun and crew managed to hop into New York City to play tourist for the morning. I think it was a perfect day not just for the bride and groom but all their guests as their were so many fun activities planned. Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Demay!!!
