How did you two meet

We met 17 years ago in primary school. From there it was an on again off again crush for the both of us. We officially rekindled in college and the rest as they say is history.

How did he pop the question

I was having the worst day. He came by after I was finished working and brought me flowers and something to eat. I wasn’t expecting it..the next thing I know, he’s down on one knee and popping the question.

What was your favourite moments from the wedding

The uncontrollable laughter and the open bar! Best decision I could make!

How would you describe your overall wedding experience

In one word – AMAZING!! It was everything I wanted and more.

Did you see each other before the wedding

As untraditional as our wedding was – I pushed for the wait. I stayed home and did the final touches while G had a hotel room for the night. I was sure he would’ve cried for his first look and I really wanted to see it.

What advice would you offer other couples planning a destination wedding?

Trust the process and your planner! Be honest with what your want and be open to other options. Do your research and expect the unexpected.

How was your experience with your wedding planner

She was absolutely amazing! I literally gave her the bare minimum and she wowed us with everything. I gave her a color and I told her who I preferred with the style of music l. I wanted fun, elegant and classy and she made it happen. I would 100% do it again!
