Bruna and William’s love story began in DC, where they met and exchanged e-mails for a week until their first official date. Their friends told them Newton’s Table in Bethesda was a must-try, so they decided to have their first date there over dinner. Not only was their meal great, but their connection was, too—they left the restaurant hand in hand. Less than a year later they were living together, engaged, and in full wedding-planning mode.
With William being American and Bruna from Brazil, they decided on a centralized destination wedding in Cancun. Though the couple had some difficulties coordinating their wedding from the US with vendors in Cancun, the execution was so breathtaking and memorable they both say they’d do it all over again.
