Picture this: the warm, golden sands of Cancun, a gentle breeze rolling in off the ocean, and the perfect mix of love, laughter, and adventure in the air. That’s exactly what Alyssa and Gary’s wedding weekend at Dreams Riviera Cancun felt like. From the moment they arrived, it was clear this celebration would be one for the books.

Alyssa, now Mrs. Dixon, and Gary kicked off their wedding weekend with an epic beach bonfire and barbecue. Imagine it—close friends and family gathered around the flames, toes in the sand, cocktails in hand, and a sky full of stars. It was the perfect laid-back start to what would be a weekend full of unforgettable moments.

Their ceremony day brought all the heat—literally. Under the blazing Mexican sun, the scene was set for a beachside “I do” that was as stunning as it was emotional. And let me tell you, Greyden, their adorable son, stole the show! Watching him be part of such a special day was one of those moments you can’t help but smile about. He wasn’t just in the ceremony, he was the heart of it. His joy was contagious, bringing a special energy to the day.

Just when it seemed like the heat might win out, the clouds rolled in. In a twist only Cancun could deliver, a romantic rainshower began to fall. But instead of running for cover, this crew embraced it, dancing in the rain like the free-spirited legends they are. The downpour cooled everything off and added a bit of drama to their photos (honestly, some of my favorites ever). And then, because why not end things with a splash—everyone jumped into the pool, fully dressed and completely carefree. It was one of those spontaneous moments that sums up Alyssa and Gary perfectly: bold, joyful, and all about living in the moment.

This weekend was about more than just the vows they exchanged. It was about creating memories with their closest people, sharing laughter, celebrating family, and embracing every single moment—rain or shine. Alyssa and Gary, thank you for letting me be a part of your epic love story. It’s one I won’t soon forget.
