Meet Cathy and Dan, a sweet couple who met like many do, while hanging out with friends at a restaurant/bar. They met five years ago, and last June, made their love and commitment for one another official with a destination wedding in Riviera Maya, Mexico.

With 24 guests in attendance, Cathy and Dan got their dream come true with a small and intimate event.

Cathy was stunning in a gown by Maggie Sottero and the groom looked handsome in his Banana Republic suit.

“Choosing the destination was easy. Dan and I both love the beach and Mexico. We have many great memories traveling together. Our first trip together was to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. Three years later Dan proposed on a trip to Playa Del Carmen for my Mother’s 60th birthday. Most of our family and friends are from Texas and Arkansas so Mexico was a convenient destination for our guests," recalls Cathy.

Secret's Maroma Beach offered several convenient packages for the couple and their on-site wedding coordinator proved to be quite helpful to Cathy along with Best Destination Wedding Forum.
