After a wonderful morning with Patty and Jason, it was time for the wedding ceremony on the beach.  A Mexican guitarist played as the ceremony began and the music set a beautiful mood.

Jason came down the aisle with a rose which he placed on an empty chair in remembrance of his mother.

A seashell held the bride and groom’s wedding rings.

Patty and Jason’s family and friends were a great group and dad enjoyed meeting them all.

The wedding party:

You can see how much they love each other when they look into each other’s eyes.

Mom saw this picture and thought dad posed the couple waving to be funny and cheesy.  She teased dad about it but he told her that really guests were at the end of the pier cheering for the bride and groom so Patty and Jason were waving at them.  As a candid moment, it is really sweet!  Look how happy the newlyweds are!

All of the stationary was beautiful!  The invitations, timeline, menus, table markers, and all the rest had the blue, red, and brown wedding colors in pretty patterns.  Mom loved it!

The cake topper was two birds in the wedding colors of blue and red.

Patty and Jason listening to the sentimental toasts given by their friends and family:

Time to party!

Patty changed into a cheongsam for part of the reception.  She looked gorgeous!

Before the reception ended, dad took Patty and Jason out for a few more pictures.

One of mom’s favorites:

What an awesome couple and an awesome wedding!  Dad truly had a wonderful time during the entire trip to Mexico and felt honored to be a part of the wedding.  Thank you so much Patty and Jason!  We know your life together is going to be filled with love, laughter, and romance.

Before leaving Mexico, dad picked up a few souvenirs to bring home.  When he saw this Mexican bride and groom he had to buy it and take some pictures in honor of Patty and Jason.

 

We started to blog about Patty and Jason’s wedding day and realized there was no way we’d be able to fit all of their gorgeous pictures into one blog update!  This will be part one of two blog updates about Patty and Jason’s amazing destination wedding in Isle Mujeres, Mexico.

Patty and Jason had Tiffany from Sunhorse Weddings as their planner for their wedding at Zama Beach Club.  Patty started her day getting ready at her villa which she had reserved with the help of Lisa of The Lost Oasis.  Lisa also helped dad with his hotel reservations and helpful information about the island.

This might be one of mom’s favorite wedding hair accessories.

Red shoes!

The gifts to the groomsmen were chucks for them to wear on the wedding day.  The groom’s chucks had the wedding date personalized on it.

Patty gave Jason Superman cuff links as a wedding present.  It was a special gift to remind Jason that his mom who had passed was with him that day, and Jason’s reaction upon opening the cuff links was so sweet.

Patty is a designer and Jason gave her a wedding present in a frog box that she had designed for Hallmark.  How fun would it be to see one of your designs on the shelves at Hallmark!

Patty getting her hair done:

Dad loved the Chinese wedding traditions that were included in the day.  One of the main symbols of course being red as one of the wedding colors.  Another fun tradition that the couple had was for the groom to come to the bride’s house to get her.  According to custom, when he arrives he is met by the bride’s friends who will not let the bride go until the groom gives red packets of money and meets other requests.  Jason arrived to see a “No Boys Allowed” sign hanging on the door, but that didn’t stop him from trying to peek.  Patty’s bridesmaids and bridesman had Jason and his groomsmen dance as their task to see the bride.

Patty and Jason then had the Chinese Tea Ceremony where the couple serves the parents tea.  Patty wore the same outfit her mom wore which made it more meaningful.

After the Tea Ceremony, Patty went back to her room to put on her wedding dress.

Jason seeing Patty in her gown for the first time:

Before their ceremony, dad went around the island for pictures with the couple.  When Dad woke up that morning, he had noticed a dark, cloudy sky.  He was so worried!  The sky stayed cloudy and it was a very windy day but thankfully the rain held off.

Patty really wanted some pictures on the cliffs by the water so they went there for a few pictures and the couple braved the strong winds!

This was just the start to the couple’s wedding day!  Dad said the entire day was a lot of fun and filled with emotion.  We can’t wait to share more!
