We met over seven years ago at a Starbucks in Manhattan while Angel was attending college at New York University. We fell in love quickly and deeply and knew we would be together forever.
When we decided to get married we were very excited but also apprehensive. We wanted to have a party where we could celebrate our love with our family and friends, but we didn't want to have to refinance our house to do it! Besides the price of venues, we were having a hard time finding a place that went with our personality. We got discouraged and nearly decided to go to City Hall to get married and grab a hotdog at a street cart after!
Thankfully, we kept looking and really fell in love with the idea of a destination wedding. Even though we wanted a destination wedding, we wanted a place that would welcome, accept us and make us feel comfortable as a same-sex couple. We stumbled upon gaydestinationweddings.com and figured we would give it a try. We are very happy we did! Through the website we were put in contact with Judy and she was amazing! She helped us pick a resort and helped everyone on our guest list book accommodations. Working with Judy, we chose to have our wedding at Paradisus Cancun.
Throughout the planning process, we were a little nervous because we couldn't see the resort first-hand, but we took Judy's recommendations and we are so very happy we did! She got us in contact with the on-site coordinator at Paradisus who was also amazing. They helped us have the beautiful wedding of our dreams and the best part was that it was all in our budget!
The Paradisus was amazing! They made us feel so welcome, and everyone that came to our wedding was amazed at how caring, kind and attentive the staff was. Our wedding was beautiful. It was exactly what we wanted. The pictures were AMAZING! Besides all of that, the food and drinks were delicious, which was very important to us. We had a great time and are so happy that we did it!
I know I may be partial, but this was the best wedding I have ever been to. Destination weddings are the way to go and with the help of gaydestinationweddings.com our wedding dreams came true! We wish we were still in Mexico right now!
