Shenanigans of a Southern Redhead: mexican wedding: day uno y dos

in late october, after MONTHS of anticipation, I was off to a destination wedding in mexico.

here's some of us sleepy heads at the GSP airport around 4AM thursday morning.

we arrived at the Cancun airport around 10AM local time and still had about a 90 minute drive to our resort.

our group of 4, met up with 7 others that were in mexico for the same wedding and we piled into a bus that was waiting to take us to our destination.

the driver offered to stop at the next gas station so we could get some beer and start the party early on our way to the resort. everyone got about a 6 pack of whatever beer we could find. and we cranked up the jimmy buffet pandora and were on our way.

once we arrived at the resort, we couldn't check into our rooms yet, but we met with the happy couple and they gave us all fun "welcome bags" with all sorts of goodies.

since we couldn't check into our rooms yet, we just enjoyed a lunch outside at one of the resort restaurants. after lunch, we pulled our bathing suits out of our suitcases and several of us wedding guests mingled around this "kiddie pool" area.

some of us (ie...me) got extremely intoxicated and ended up asleep by 5pm that day. but in my defense, I had been up since 3AM.

we were invited to attend a "bachelor party" of sorts for the grooms that night, but declined based on our lack of sleep.

since we went to sleep at 5PM, we were up at 7AM on Friday ready to start our first full day in mexico. we had breakfast and caught up with some of our friends who had flown in for the wedding.

then we took it to the beach...
