Destination Wedding at Tekik de Regil👰💘🤵 Monica & Ian

Monica and Ian, a young Mexican-American couple, traveled from the United States to celebrate their wedding in Yucatan at the hacienda Tekik de Regil, which was chosen to host their memorable event and enjoy an unforgettable day with their guests.

Beginning of the Journey

Their great day began early in the morning when the couple arrived in the company of their mothers, sister, and grandmother so that each could get ready in their rooms at the hacienda. The bride accompanied by her mother and grandmother enjoyed the make-up and hairstyling service. When the time came Monica put on her dress which had details of jewelry, lace and ruffles on the neckline, a very youthful A-line style that was perfect to look beautiful on her long awaited day.

On his side, the groom, who was wearing an elegant black tuxedo that would match perfectly with the bride, was also with his mother and sister in another room waiting for the moment when they could see each other again.

Can’t help falling in love

When they were both ready, Moni ran to meet Ian in the halls of the hacienda, and seeing her so spectacular and beautiful in her dress, the groom couldn’t help but fall in love with her all over again.

The couple decided to have a photo session throughout the hacienda to keep that moment as the best of memories, later their closest family members joined them to continue with the photographs on the stairs of the main house.
