The Love Story
While hiking on the summit of Mount Whitney, Suraiya and Chris met on the trail, shared snacks and chatted up. They ended up exchanging numbers and met up for coffee in Los Angeles. Their love blossomed and the rest is history!
The Planning Experience
These lovebirds are travel-obsessed and have always wanted to explore new environments. Getting away for their wedding in a beautiful setting, such as Cancun, was in their heads long before they made contact with DestionationWeddings.com. When looking for their dream resort, they searched for a place that was 5-stars, modern, and had amazing amenities like a spa, all-inclusive service, and away from city life. The Beloved Playa Mujeres delivered all of that and more. A big plus was also the beachfront views, balconies in the suites, delicious restaurants and pool.
The Celebration
Suraiya and Chris made their special day truly unique by hosting a cocktail hour under the tropical palm trees, featuring a live band, showcasing their dance moves to two chosen songs, offering customized bites, and hiring a talented photographer/videographer. Suraiya and Chris got to enjoy all the luxuries of their time in paradise with trying the water activities and spa on-site. They snorkeled, went kayaking, and got to sip on their favorite cocktails by the ocean.
The Memories
Suraiya's brother played an important role in their special day and had the honor of walking her to the beach during their wedding song. It was such an incredible moment for everyone to witness and a memory they will cherish forever. They describe their wedding experience as "luxurious, breathtaking, and romantic." And that was just the beginning of their lifelong adventure together.
