How did you meet?
We met at a bar/restaurant that I was working at in college. He would come in once a week and ask to sit in my section. He said it was because he enjoyed the wings, but between you and I... the food was never that good. ;)
Why did you choose to have a destination wedding?
I talked to so many brides for advice after we got engaged and the one thing that remained consistent was that the brides that didn't have a destination wedding, all wished they had. And the brides that did have one, never regretted doing so. We were sold on it after that point.
Why did you choose to have your wedding at Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres?
Andrea recommended the resort after a few conversations about what we were looking for. We wanted something that wasn't too far or too difficult to travel to/into. We also wanted the feeling of an intimate resort/island at an affordable rate for guests. Adults only and access to the beach were must-haves. We knew it would be risky to pick a resort that hadn't opened yet, but the renderings were so beautiful, we figured we'd have a story to tell one way or another. :)
What was your most memorable moment during your ceremony?
Definitely exchanging our vows.
What was the best part about having a destination wedding?
Seeing how much everyone enjoyed themselves all weekend. In many ways, the wedding felt like the icing on the cake to an already beautiful resort and vacation.
What was your experience using Shoreline Destinations?
Beyond amazing. We'd never worked with a travel agent before so we didn't know what to expect. The best decision I made was having a destination wedding, the second was working with Shoreline. I don't even want to imagine what it would've been like without them.
