ENCHANTED BRIDES ~ FALL 2013 / WINTER 2014
9
The reception at La Samanna was illuminated by soft candle-
light. An after party was held on the beach immediately fol-
lowing the reception, complete with a bonfire and s'mores for
the August 10th affair. Rodrigo Varela captured the special mo-
ments throughout the day.
Christina surprised Enrique with a boudoir photo album the
morning of their wedding. "When he opened the box, he was
left absolutely speechless!" she describes. The bride also had
her flower girl deliver a special message to her soon-to-be hus-
band just before she walked down the aisle.
When the couple first saw each other on their wedding day,
Enrique said to Christina, "I always knew you would be my wife."
Christina and Enrique describe their wedding day as abso-
lute perfection. "Even with some of the mistakes that inevitably
happened, the day couldn't have been any more perfect," the
bride says. They were surrounded by sixty of their closest fam-
ily and friends who journeyed from all over to be with them on
their very special day.
