and here is the final and most important chapter of this wedding story. it really doesn't get much better than this. a hilarious and genuine couple. so funny that they made our cheeks hurt. a sunset ceremony. some unexpected tears. gusts of wind blowing in love from up north. a very cute beach dog as the wedding mascot. a coconut man. a colorful golf cart and a quick getaway. the sweetest set of toasts anyone could imagine. dj dave scratching the vinyl. friends with sun kissed faces grooving in sundresses. a surprise fire dance. delicious miniature cakes for all. and of course lots of love and laughter!

 

back home and wondering if we can just rewind. i wouldn't change a thing. well, maybe just one little thing. i would stay later and jump in the pool with noellen and do a little synchronized water routine as the grand finale. at least noellen got her secret wedding wish, all her late night guests soaking wet and giggling. had i only known that was where the night was headed.

noellen and jackson, thank you for saving us from our winter blahs and for being so funny, sweet, warm and appreciative. your wedding was so real and refreshing. thank you. so much!

the wedding was at zama beach club on isla mujers, mexico. it was coordinated by the wonderful tiffany lanier from sunhorse weddings. tiffany did such a great job (as you can see)! she is from the states but now lives on isla mujers and is a pro at planning unique and unforgettable weddings on the island. see more portraits from their wedding below and some beautiful shots of the island over here.
