The Inspiration: Travis and I attended his cousin's Mexico destination wedding in November of 2017 at which we swore we would also do destination. We looked into multiple countries before making a decision on Dominican Republic for its great prices and amazing tropical vibe. We were recommended The Grand Bahia resort from our travel agent and were not disappointed. Our theme kind of fell into our lap. I LOVE greenery and wanted to make everything as BOHO as possible. Once picking out my dress the style was evident as to what everything would look like. We tried to go for as simple as possible but added a lot of our own touches throughout the day. 
​
Moments to Remember: Overall I tried to make everything as personal as I could; from hand written letters to each of my bridesmaids, mom, mother-in-law and of course my groom to thank each of them for being beside me each step of the way. I also wanted my dad to feel special on the day of - as I knew it would be an emotional day for all. A few months prior to the wedding, Travis and I snuck his grandfathers old pocket watch (not working) to a jeweller in Toronto to have it restored. During my Father- Daughter first look I was able to present him with the refinished working watch. it was pretty special to see his reaction.

Shannon's Advice: Do the first look, do the crazy moments and do the things you wanted to the entire time but were afraid people wouldn't understand or accept. This is your day. You spent the time, money and stress - so enjoy your day and your moment. Travis and I were so uncertain of the first look originally - after speaking with several people we agreed this might help to calm our nerves. This was one of my most favourite moments of the entire day. We chose a path near our rooms to do the first look- when I was walking up to Travis I could hear the groomsmen playing Marry Me by Train on full blast. Our first look location was just outside one of their rooms and we didn't realize this! They cheered as Travis spun me around and then gave us our moment. It was so magical.
