The Love Story
Annie and Austin's paths first crossed while working together at the White House for the Trump administration. Their professional encounters gradually transformed into fond memories through countless work meetings, happy hours, and, as fate would have it, one pivotal Facebook post. This led them to their first date in September 2019, marking the start of their beautiful love story. After concluding their time at the White House, they embarked on a new chapter in sunny Bradenton, Florida, where they got engaged and have plenty of tranquil beach days, enjoyed the company of loved ones, and created lasting memories as they traveled the globe.
The Planning Experience
Annie and Austin knew they wanted to have their special day in paradise. They often say that traveling is their "love language," so saying "I do" in a tropical location felt like the perfect way to celebrate their love story. The biggest thing that sold them on having a destination wedding was being able to create lasting memories with all of their closest loved ones, and they did just that! When it came to choosing their resort, Susan Terveer, their Certified Destination Wedding Specialist, helped them narrow it down to Majestic Elegance Costa Mujeres, and they knew it was the one. "We visited the resort in October of 2022 and absolutely fell in love with it. We ended up canceling our other resort visits because we knew we found the one!" recalls Annie and Austin.
The Celebration
For their romantic celebration, they went all out with the resort's greenery package, but with one small personal touch. They envisioned different flowers, but once they showed the florist their vision, it was brought to life perfectly. The highlight of their celebration was watching the sparklers light up the sky and when all of their guests jumped into the pool at the end of the night with Taylor Swift's "Love Story" blasting over the speakers. It was truly a moment no one will ever forget!
The Memories
To sum up their destination wedding in paradise, they describe it as "seamless, accommodating, and personalized." From the stunning flowers to the time they got to spend creating memories with their family and friends, Annie and Austin couldn't have asked for a better celebration. They enjoyed every second of their special day and can't wait to return to Mexico for their one-year anniversary. "We want to go back even sooner than that if possible!!" states Annie.
