Here's one of those weddings that we get from time to time, where, when you look at the images, you instantly wish you had actually been there to experience the fun and excitement. Paula and Donovan are very obviously in love, and based on the images, it's clear, they had an amazing experience with their destination wedding.

he wedding took place in Cabo Azul, in Mexico (which is anabsolutely FABULOUS resort!). Paula looked stunning in her gown with an adorned cranberry satin belt, super chic beachy up-do and cymbidium orchid bouquet.


The couple's professional photographer, Kelly, mentioned her delight with working with such a fun loving couple, "these two have a great sense of humor! To start off the ceremony, right as Paula was about to walk down the aisle, Donovan played a little clip from her favorite movie The Princess Bride. She lost it! It was such a great way to start this super loving and oh so sweet ceremony..."


The reception took place at Javier's, and according to their photographer, location was key, "Right on the beach! Love Love Loved it!!"

We also learned that the bride is an avid reader of Destination I Do! According to Kelly, "Paula is a huge fan of the magazine, and found it very useful during the planning process."

We're now a big fan of yours, Paula! Thanks for reading our magazine and doing your own destination wedding! We know you'll be providing great inspiration for other brides. If you'd like to view more images of Paula & Donovan's ceremony, click here or of the reception, click here.
