Photography by Joan Cusick Photography

Tell us a little about you and your beloved: We met through the Internet and started dating slowly, at first.  Then it just blossomed into something meaningful.  We were together for three years before the proposal on a beach in Puerta Vallarta.

What was the most amazing part of your day? Getting out of the limo and seeing all these people staring at us.

What else would you like to share about your big day?  It was a great feeling to have so many family and friends there to support our love for one another.
