Imagine the turquoise waves of Cancun gently meeting the shore, a bride glowing in a stunning red ensemble, and a groom making a grand entrance, lifted high by his groomsmen. Karen & Kiran’s Indian wedding at the Royalton Riviera Cancun was a true fairytale, set against a breathtaking, Bollywood-worthy backdrop!

When Karen and Kiran decided to tie the knot, they wanted a destination wedding that seamlessly blended romance, tradition, and a touch of tropical magic. Enter Beloved Planners, who meticulously designed an equal parts vibrant and sophisticated event, setting the stage for a celebration that would leave everyone in awe. And with Paradise Weddings handling the travel concierge, every guest arrives stress-free and ready to celebrate!

From the get-go, this wedding was a showstopper. The festivities began with the Baraat, where Kiran, looking regal in his intricately embroidered sherwani, made an epic entrance. His energy was unmatched. Seeing him being lifted into the air like a Bollywood hero was one for the books!

But if that wasn’t enough, the ceremony was set against the glistening Caribbean Sea, where a pristine white mandap adorned with Tulipania’s exquisite floral designs and rentals from Gamma Group perfectly framed the couple.

And just when we thought it couldn’t get more cinematic, the sky exploded with vibrant bursts of color as Karen & Kiran took their first steps as husband and wife. Yes, fireworks. In broad daylight. Talk about making an entrance and an exit! 

Karen was nothing less than a vision. She wore a stunning red lehenga with intricate gold embroidery, embodying grace, beauty, and confidence. Federico Salmeron Photography captured her bridal glow in the most breathtaking way possible, from her delicate henna-adorned hands to the sparkle in her eyes as she saw Kiran waiting for her at the altar. Speaking of sparkle, the reception look? Pure fire. A glamorous white gown, sleek waves, and a romantic candlelit setup—it was a scene straight out of a modern-day royal wedding. And Saptapadi Weddings? Their cinematography gave us full-fledged K3G vibes (minus the dramatic family drama), with sweeping aerial shots, slow-motion twirls, and all the emotional close-ups that made even the toughest groomsmen tear up.

Darlings, it was about love, culture, and the joy of two families coming together most spectacularly.

Dreaming of a destination wedding? Shabnam & Kynan’s big day is Platinum Guide Blog perfection!

How did you meet your Groom and when did you know he was "the one"?
Our first date was truly unforgettable! We both enjoy staying active, so it was only natural that we met at an indoor rock climbing and bouldering gym in Atlanta. There was an immediate connection. We enjoyed getting to know each other and bonded over our British and Welsh upbringings as well as our love of food. I still recall Kynan's playful quip as we signed the bouldering consent form, "It's time to sign our lives away!" Little did we know that lighthearted moment foreshadowed our future, as we indeed signed our marriage license years later. From the very beginning, I felt an extraordinary sense of peace and comfort in his presence. And yes, I must confess, I was also charmed by the impeccable cleanliness of his car, his neatly hung dry-cleaning, fully stocked kitchen, and worldly knowledge – a glimpse into his dynamic and responsible nature. Every interaction we had following our first date strengthened the feelings we were both developing. I knew he was "the one" when he arranged a surprise couples massage after a long work week and showed me the stylish baby Zara clothes he bought for his friend's newborn. He is, without a doubt, the most considerate and thoughtful man I know, a quality that shines brighter with each passing day.

Share the scoop on your Proposal Story!
A whisper of anticipation fluttered within me as Memorial Day weekend approached. Kynan, with his characteristic air of delightful mystery, had asked me to request time off. In the months leading up to this, he dropped hints, playfully leading me astray from his intended plans. He orchestrated a pampering session with my dearest girlfriends, a prelude to our adventure, and instructed me to pack for five days while still leaving my destination unknown. Naturally, my overpacking instincts kicked into high gear! He handled every detail with effortless grace, from checking me in, to escorting me through the airport from gate to gate (another distraction tactic), until we were finally boarding a flight to Boston! This city holds a treasure trove of cherished memories for us, a testament to our enduring love during two years of long-distance while I completed my surgical fellowship training and MPH degree at Harvard. We checked in to the Fairmont in Copley Plaza, across from my old apartment in Back Bay. We spent the day revisiting our favorite city sights and reliving the milestones of our journey. Kynan proposed along the Charles River at our favorite hammock spot. Our celebration continued at Tresca in the North End (another special place for us), and the joy was amplified the following day with the arrival of my sister. It was a weekend woven with romance, nostalgia, and the promise of a beautiful future together.

What did your guests particularly love about your Wedding?
For two introverted souls seeking a genuine connection, our wedding weekend was designed to celebrate love while honoring the comfort of our cherished guests. Our beautiful wedding venue, Garza Blanca, is culinary all-inclusive with delicious food, luxurious amenities, and an intimate feel. We intentionally crafted a leisurely schedule, and some of our favorite memories from the weekend include casual run-ins with our loved ones around the hotel grounds. Our guests loved having time to explore the resort and all that Los Cabos has to offer. Many guests arrived early and stayed after the wedding festivities. Guests embarked on adventures ranging from thrilling spear-fishing and jet skiing to serene cruises alongside the iconic Cabo Arch. Couples celebrated their blossoming families with "baby moons," while family members were able to spend quality time together and reunite with loved ones from abroad. Witnessing our loved ones create their own cherished memories while celebrating ours was truly the ultimate gift – a perfect blend of celebration and serene escape.

Do you have any words of wisdom for Brides-To-Be?
It sounds cliche, but savor every moment! Stay true to yourself and what you envision, and don't sweat the small stuff. While there are definitely stressful parts to wedding planning, and people won't always see eye-to-eye throughout the process, it really does all work out in the end. Looking back, I cherish the unexpected gift of connection that wedding planning afforded me. My mother, though physically distant, was a constant presence, joining virtually for almost every Zoom call with planners and vendors. Since moving away from home, our time together has become a treasured commodity. Sharing the excitement and anticipation of this momentous occasion strengthened our bond in a way I hadn't anticipated.

A dreamy blend of tradition, luxury, and beachfront magic, leaving us all in awe! See you soon.
