The first part of our trip to Puerto Vallarta (and really the whole reason we were there in the first place) was for one of Neil's high school friend's weddings. They had a great day (but isn't every day great in Mexico?), everyone looked fantastic the historic church where the wedding took place was just awesome.

The fans really came in handy after the ceremony when they shut off the industrial floor fans in the church!
Who is this child and why is she not in a GAP ad? Seriously she's beautiful...
After ceremony chaos where everyone is just happy and clueless about what to do next!
After the ceremony we all headed back to the resort for a reception dinner and Jee Eun and Joe emerged with these insanely cool floral crowns which her mom apparently just whipped up after the ceremony from some fresh flowers growing on the grounds of the resort. Isn't that what everyone does between the ceremony and reception?? Talk about feeling guilty for just sitting at the swim up bar with margarita(s) the whole time!
The best man presented them with this bottle of tequilla and a little insanity followed (don't worry, there are plenty of good "post-tequilla" pictures to come).
...And then they partook in some fun Korean customs of catching nuts in a cloth to signify the number of kids you'll have plus some kind of piggy back ride which I'm sure has some significance but right now just looks fun. Who gets to do that on their wedding day???
Aaah, yes...let the shenanigans begin.
I love this picture of Saki. If that isn't the perfect "damn you tequilla shot!" face, I don't know what is.
There were beautiful babies everywhere at this wedding but these 2 in particular...I mean seriously. If I could have figured out a way to smuggle them through customs, I would have taken them home with me.
More fun pics to come of the rest of this night plus the rest of our trip post-wedding.
I always find it a little comical how the crowd divides up on the lawn. It is certainly a family friendly event with strollers and blankets and dancing kids everywhere but there's a whole other area where the "kid-less" seem to gather (and no suprise, it's closer to the bar). So we bounced between both of these areas to hang out with both crowds and while the family section is way more entertaining, it is definitely much more exhausting too! Lots of running around keeping kids out of bushes, changing diapers, etc.
Here's Ella with her beautiful grandmother, Tim's mom.
Tim, big-Tim and little baby Sienna
Ugh, she's so cute, it's gross.
We are conspiring to keep Tim at Chapel Hill forever so we can see these adorable kids grow up...oh and yea, we kinda like hanging out with the Smith's too!
