Stories from Paradise

Alexis & Drew

"We truly wish we could rewind and do it all over again!"

From friends to forever! Drew met Alexis back in college, and though he tried to take things beyond the friend zone, she wasn’t quite feeling it.

Drew and Alexis first met in college and stayed friends even after graduation. And when Drew tried to shoot his shot, Alexis wasn’t ready just yet.

Years later, fate (and maybe the beach!) brought them back together. This time, Drew didn’t give up, and finally, Alexis said yes! Their engagement was just as sweet. Drew popped the question at the park where they had their very first date. Afterwards, they spent the evening celebrating with their families. When it came to planning their wedding, the couple found themselves stuck.

Local venues just weren’t giving the right vibe. They wanted something that felt different, something that brought everyone together in a fun, unforgettable way. Enter: Mexico! After chatting with Megan from ParadiseWeddings.com, everything clicked. The beach, the vibe, the dream…Mexico was it. They chose Dreams Natura in Cancun. And their wedding day was absolutely flawless.

Drew and the groomsmen got ready in the groom’s room while Alexis and her bridesmaids enjoyed the bridal suite. The ceremony took place under a stunning gazebo, the perfect backdrop for their vows. Cocktail hour was set by the pond, and then came the reception where the party kicked off in full swing. The music, the dancing, the food, it was all chef’s kiss. The next morning, the fun continued with a pool day for all the guests.
