Love stories often begin in the most unexpected places, and for Malinda and Eric, their journey of love started on a picturesque Easter Sunday in 2019 in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Today, we have the privilege of sharing the remarkable tale of their romantic encounter and the joyous celebration that unfolded on their wedding day at the magnificent Monalisa venue in Los Cabos. Join us as we relive the magical moments of their special day.
In a serendipitous turn of events, Malinda and Eric found themselves on separate vacations with friends from different parts of the United States. It was during a boat tour that their paths intertwined and brought them together.
Malinda and Eric’s love story faced the challenge of distance as they embarked on a long-distance relationship. They traveled between New York and Chicago every other weekend, bridging the geographical gap that separated them. Their unwavering dedication to one another became their guiding light, and by October of that same year, Eric made the decision to relocate to New York, establishing a shared home in Long Island City, Queens. From that moment, their journey as a couple accelerated, marking the beginning of their own unique history.
Four years after their fateful meeting in Cabo, Malinda and Eric’s love story reached its pinnacle as they embarked on a new chapter in their lives, walking down the aisle. To commemorate the momentous occasion, the couple chose to celebrate their wedding at the breathtaking Monalisa venue in Los Cabos, renowned for its panoramic views of the ocean and Land’s End.
The day commenced with the bride and her bridesmaids, surrounded by close relatives, preparing for the grand celebration. As laughter and excitement filled the air, Malinda expressed her gratitude and love by presenting personalized letters to each of her bridesmaids, cherishing the bond they shared. Simultaneously, the groom and his groomsmen enjoyed a light-hearted and joyous time together, relishing in laughter and savoring a sip of tequila, building anticipation for the day ahead.
The bride wore a captivating gown by Pronovias. She and her bridesmaids held elegant bouquets adorned with greenery and gannet flowers by Aria Vera Floral, adding a touch of grace and beauty to their attire. As the ceremony commenced, anticipation swelled, and the emotional crescendo unfolded as the bride gracefully walked down the aisle, accompanied by her proud father. The picturesque view of the entire bay of Cabo San Lucas, adorned with sailing boats, provided a captivating backdrop, evoking a sense of awe and wonder in all who were present. The atmosphere was brimming with joy and elation as Malinda and Eric sealed their love with heartfelt vows, surrounded by their beloved family and friends
The reception greeted the newlyweds with a dazzling display of sparklers, illuminating their path as they entered the celebration hand in hand. The decor by Yaya Rentals exuded elegance, featuring golden chairs, cutlery, and a delicate play of lights and candles, creating an atmosphere of enchantment and romance. The festivities commenced with a beautiful first dance, symbolizing the couple’s unity and grace. Emotional speeches from loved ones brought tears of joy and laughter, encapsulating the love and support surrounding Malinda and Eric on their special day.
The celebration continued with a three-layered white wedding cake, a masterpiece of culinary artistry. As the night progressed, guests immerse themselves into the dance floor where laughter and infectious energy filled the air creating cherished memories that would be forever etched in their hearts.
