Wedding prep

To begin the day, the bride and her wedding party got ready at the hotel in their wedding day pajamas, with the bride in your classic white and the bridesmaids in their seafoam green silk pajamas that match their dresses. While getting ready Christina went with a low-styled bun, with face-framing curled pieces for her wedding day hair look. Once her mom got her zipped into her gown she revealed her finished look to her friends. Everyone turned around and saw the beautiful bride that she was and couldn’t be happier for her on this special day. In the meantime, the groom and his groomsmen were getting ready and dressed in their dashing blue tuxedos, with white undershirts and seafoam green ties. Afterward, they shared a celebratory shot with their close friend to kick off the day before the ceremony.

First looks and personal vows

Once ready, Christina and Calvin head to the beach for their first look and private vows. With him turned looking out at the ocean, she comes down and turns him around to reveal her final look. The two embrace in that special moment and then proceed to share their written vows. The two take turns and both shed tears of happiness while listening to the other’s heartfelt words. At that moment they can’t wait to make that journey down the aisle and become husband and wife.

Down the Aisle

With the sparkling ocean in the background guests file in and wait for the ceremony to begin. A hexagon arch wrapped in white flowers and greenery stood at the forefront of the aisle. When the music started everyone stood and watched the radiating bride walk down the aisle on the arm of her father. Standing hand in hand the couple said “I do” in front of all their family and friends. Finally, the officiant pronounced them husband and wife and he kissed his bride. Then, the couple turn to their cheering guests and walks out hand in hand.
