Last month I got to go on some Isla Mujeres and Cancun wedding adventures in Mexico! It was a fairly last-minute trip and aligned magically in the stars.

I’d been looking forward to this wedding at the Portofino Hotel for over a year, and it did not disappoint.  By a crazy coincidence, I happened to be in Los Angeles the day that this bride first emailed me.  She asked if I ever traveled to Los Angeles, or ever worked there.  Therefore, we met […]
