Cancun Wedding – Secrets The Vine Weddings – Nikki and Eric
“I was VERY emotional! I had thought about my wedding day and walking down the aisle toward Eric for years. Eric and I had dated for almost 6 years when we got married, and I remember he told me he loved me only 2 months after dating. We fell in love with each other quickly and deeply, so by our wedding day this moment had run through my mind hundreds of times. It was such a special moment for me having my mom and step-dad by my side.” – Nikki – Secrets the Vine Wedding
So much to appreciate in Nikki and Eric’s wedding! A gorgeous location, family love in spades and adorable details like Eric’s hidden wedding day message for Nikki:
“Eric had told me not to look in my (wedding) shoe box before it was time to put my shoes on… so I listened :) Well, the wedding day came and I put on my shoes without even thinking twice. The next day, I happened to look at the bottom of my shoe and realized he wrote a special message, “You’re my friend, You’re my love, You’re my life. I can’t wait to make you my wife! Love, Eric”. I was so impressed that he came up with such a great idea, and I will never get rid of my wedding shoes just so that I can always read that message.”
“When Eric and I first talked about asking my uncle to marry us, we agreed it would make the day so much more special and couldn’t wait to ask him. I will never forget how excited he was when I called him and said he was honored to do it. As the day got closer we met with him and rehearsed how everything would go, I was already getting butterflies picturing how perfect the day would be.”
“During the ceremony, I was super emotional. He talked about he knew me as a little girl and he’s watched me grow up and the emotion behind his words was so special. We truly would not have wanted it any other way, he made the ceremony better than we could have imagined. We love you Uncle Len!”
“The mother daughter dance to me, was soooo special. My parents were divorced when I was 11 and my mom raised me by herself. She is the strongest, most selfless and loving person I have ever known and the mother/daughter dance was something I was waiting for my whole life. Our relationship is so special and unlike any other relationship in my life. We chose “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” because it’s symbolic of our relationship – we are there for each other no matter what. We laughed and cried our way through the entire song, and it was a moment I will never forget :)” – Nikki
“Eric and I live downtown Chicago and we love it, but I’ve always wanted to get married by the water. We started doing research on resorts and fell in love with Secrets the Vine. In June, after we had booked the wedding we took a trip and were blown away by how amazing it was, we couldn’t wait to get married there… and it truly was the best week of our lives! We were able to spend time with family and friends and made so many amazing memories that we’ll have to cherish forever.”
“We did a TON of research online and finally decided on Secrets the Vine for a few reasons – the hotel is super new and modern, the food is delicious, the service is awesome, the rooms are amazing, and it is an adults-only hotel. Yamina truly has a gift with wedding planning. She is so patient, kind, and knowledgable, and we knew our wedding would be perfect working with her, and it was!”
“Eric and I cannot speak highly enough of Del Sol Photography. They were literally AMAZING and such a blast to work with! You could see the passion in their eyes and her reactions when looking at her camera after capturing a moment were priceless, she would say “Que bonito!” and her eyes would light up. Our friends and family kept commenting on how she was all over the place and captured EVERYTHING, but yet was never distracting. We are thrilled that we chose Del Sol. Working with the awesome sales team in the beginning on deciding which package and which photographer to chose was seamless. They were SO responsive and friendly. We cannot thank the Del Sol team enough for making our day even more special!!!”- Nikki
“If you are debating doing a destination wedding…DO IT! I’ve heard this over and over again – anyone that has a destination wedding does not regret it. Instead of 1 night flying by, you can have several days to get all of your family and friends together to celebrate with you in paradise- what can be better than that?!”
Huge thanks to Nikki for her wonderful words :)
