Lauren & Kahlil‘s Destination Wedding in Cancun, Mexico

The Love Story
As soon as Lauren spotted Kahlil on campus during her sophomore year, sparks flew! They instantly clicked and shared a love for the same music, quickly becoming best friends, while navigating other relationships. Over the summer, right before their senior year, they found themselves both single and wanting to give dating each other a try. Years passed and their relationships blossomed and before you know it, Kahlil was getting down on one knee and proposing in Tulum, Mexico! "Looking back, I wouldn't change a thing. We've grown up together, and now we're ready to spend the rest of our lives side by side," recalls Lauren. 

The Planning Experience
Choosing a destination wedding was a leap of faith for these lovebirds! Even though they knew they wanted to have a wedding their way, they hesitated a bit at first, but they were so glad they chose to have a destination wedding over a traditional one. After speaking with their Certified Destination Wedding Specialists, Monica Castorela, the decision became clear. Quality food, an unforgettable experience, comfy rooms, stunning wedding venues, easy beach access, and affordability for everyone were their must-haves. When they discovered Majestic Elegance Costa, they didn't think twice about saying "I do" there!

The Celebration
For their decor, they wanted something that truly reflected them as a couple—simple, timeless, and effortlessly elegant! A single long table was covered with pillar candles (which they flew in from the U.S.) and minimalistic touches from stunning décor packages for chairs, tables, and the bar. Before entering their reception, Lauren and Kahlil shared a "Can you believe we're married?" moment, soaking in the joy of finally becoming newlyweds. It was the day they had always dreamed of, made even more magical by the love and support of their families.

The Memories
To sum up their wedding experience, they describe it as "fulfillment, euphoria, and excitement." One of their favorite memories was sightseeing at Chichén Itzá with their loved ones. They cherished every moment exploring one of the wonders of the world and learning about Mexican and Indigenous culture.

Advice For Future Couples
Their biggest piece of advice is to stay organized with the planning and coordination of guests, and overall details that will make your wedding special for you, not anyone else, but you!
