Vicky and Jeff met through mutual friends in Richmond, VA in October 2010. Their best friends had become roommates at Virginia Commonwealth University and were hosting a housewarming party. It was there that Vicky met Jeff and he decided to chase her around with a hot dog (yes, you read that right). It was quite a memorable night.

After that day, Vicky and Jeff remained good friends for 7 years. They were always partying together, going on group trips, and even double dates together (just not with each other as dates)! It wasn’t until 2017, that their friendship became more. It was a surprise to them both and even to this day!

Today, Vicky and Jeff share a beautiful home and the cutest yorkie pup named Katsu. They got engaged in Cancun and went back to celebrate their love in paradise with their closest friends and family.

Vicky and Jeff held their wedding at the all-inclusive, TRS Coral Hotel and Resort in Cancun, Mexico. With 71 of their closest friends and family by their side, their wedding was a truly dream come true. Vicky’s vision was tropical elegance and the resort provided for just that. Their ceremony took place at the TRS Gravity Rooftop Bar, with stunning views of the blue ocean. Their reception at the Convention Center Plaza was adorned with dreamy twinkle lights, white flowers, and gold details. The surrounding palm trees and beautiful sunset completed the stunning setup. The weather was perfect and it was the best day of their lives!

"Before finding Mirella, I tried on well over 30 gowns and visited over 5 different boutiques!

When I discovered the gown online I immediately fell in love with the gorgeous embroidered florals and intricate details. I made an appointment at Lovely Bride DC the next day and as soon as I tried it on, I knew she was the one!

The a-line gown and scoop neckline complemented my petite frame perfectly, and the open back added a perfect touch. It was so light and comfortable that I wore it all night and never felt more beautiful in my life."
