Nadia Khamis and Alex Lopez, a couple residing in Denver, Colorado, share a deep love for cats and a passion for travel. Initially friends, their connection blossomed into a romantic relationship in 2014. On December 25th, 2017, Alex proposed to Nadia in their home’s cozy and private setting, creating a beautiful and intimate memory that would mark the start of their engagement.

For their wedding, Nadia and Alex wanted to gather all their cherished friends and family in one space, celebrating their love. They longed for an intimate beach venue that offered a private and relaxed atmosphere, a perfect backdrop for their special day. Their vision included dancing under the stars, creating lasting memories that would linger late into the night.

Above all, they aimed for a stress-free planning process, ensuring that every detail was seamlessly taken care of, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in their union’s beauty.

Nadia shares about the place of their wedding: “The Secret Jewel venue itself is absolutely perfect, your own private beach, filled with palm trees, a petate (a mat made of dried palm trees), and even a small chapel. I knew the wedding would be perfect just because the venue was gorgeous, and nothing could go wrong.”

As the big day approached, Nadia eagerly embarked on her journey of getting ready for her wedding. The bride chose a minimalist yet elegant wedding dress that flawlessly captured her sophistication and showcased her love for timeless beauty. The dress was gracefully enhanced with a stunning bolero, adding an extra touch of charm. Carolina Bellavista, a renowned makeup and hairstylist, skillfully crafted a look that perfectly reflected Nadia’s unique personality, ensuring that she radiated confidence and grace as she walked down the aisle.

On the morning of the wedding, Alex took his time getting ready, enjoying the stunning view of the ocean. They had planned several special details to make their wedding truly unique. The groom’s suit was personalized with his name embroidered, adding a personalized touch. Additionally, his shirt sported the words “Fancy cats”, which was their endearing nickname as a couple, highlighting their shared love for their cats.

The highly anticipated moment finally arrived as Nadia and Alex locked eyes, their faces beaming with joy and an overflow of love. The atmosphere was charged with excitement and affection, creating a truly enchanting ambiance. To commemorate their special bond, a talented artist friend crafted a beautiful drawing that showcased their adorable kitties. As a special surprise, Nadia presented this heartfelt gift to Alex right after their first look, adding even more magic to their wedding day.

Nadia and Alex’s wedding ceremony was a stunning reflection of their unique love story. Every detail was thoughtfully planned by Magic Love Events, creating a unique experience. The delicate melodies of a bridesmaid playing the violin filled the air, adding a touch of elegance and romance to the occasion. To make the moment even more intimate, the symbolic ceremony was officiated by the groom’s beloved uncle, infusing the proceedings with a deep sense of familial connection. This carefully crafted ceremony created a truly memorable and intimate atmosphere.

The newlyweds were showered with love and support from their groomsmen and bridesmaids. Together, they created lasting memories and a sense of togetherness that made the occasion even more wonderful. 

Tati Piovacari, the talented photographer, beautifully encapsulated the essence of this fairytale wedding through her camera lens. With the stunning ocean as a backdrop, she captured magical shots that radiated with the couple’s love and affection. From tender glances to joyous smiles, the couple’s love story was vividly portrayed through these captivating images, allowing their special day to live on forever in the memories and hearts of all who witnessed it.

The wedding day was an enchanting experience, thanks to the meticulous planning and execution by the talented team at Magic Love Events. With their expert guidance and careful attention to detail, they transformed the couple’s vision into a reality, creating a truly magical and dream-like atmosphere.

The bride adds: “We planned the wedding from the US with Ana from Magic Love over email & everything on the day of was perfect! The whole process was so stress-free for us. The vendors they used were amazing, we were blown away by the photographer, flowers, and food. Ana was great at understanding our style. Whenever we asked for another option, she would always come back with the perfect one!”

The planners from Magic Love poured their creative energy into decorating the venue, ensuring every detail was carefully considered. Their dedication to creating a visually stunning atmosphere was evident in the exquisite decorations that adorned the space. The planners paid meticulous attention to the color scheme, flower design by Pentaflor, and overall aesthetics, resulting in a visually captivating setting that perfectly complemented the couple’s dream wedding: “The flowers were one of the most important things for the bride, and we were looking to create the right balance by mixing darker colors with lighter ones.”

With a deep understanding of the couple’s desires and aspirations, Magic Love dedicated themselves to ensuring a seamless and magical wedding experience: “We planned this beautiful wedding and a welcome party within five months, having few months to plan the wedding, the groom’s parents helped us a lot by making a trip to Mexico where we had the food tasting and the site visit, all this to make sure all their guests had a great experience as the bride and groom love good food, and this part of the wedding was very important to them. We had Mexican tacos buffet for the welcome party along with a Mariachi band that made everyone dance! On the wedding day, an international buffet with flavored margaritas was served with a churro cart as a dessert and chilaquiles as an afterparty, the food was a success, and everyone loved it!”

The reception and the wedding day were perfect for Alex and Nadia. The couple cherished every single second as they celebrated their special day surrounded by their loved ones on a stunning private beach. The breathtaking beauty of the beach served as an idyllic backdrop for the festivities, creating a serene and romantic atmosphere.

Advice from the couple:

Enjoy and trust the planning process and wedding day, it goes very fast!  Mexico is a safe destination, nothing can go wrong!
