Rahshina & Dan
Playa del Carmen, Mexico
A destination wedding at the Hotel Riu Palace in Playa del Carmen, Mexico is where Rahshina and Dan celebrated their wedding with family and friends. It was a full week of activities (snorkelling, a catamaran tour, hikes and beach days) that led to lasting bonds between all of their guests. A Meta Messenger chat group was used to coordinate events, capture photos and shenanigans.
Here are a few of the things Rahshina and Dan did to make their wedding unique and memorable.
