When Stacey and Scott met at a cocktail lounge, they couldn’t have guessed that fateful night would send them on a journey that led to standing at the altar in Los Cabos, Mexico surrounded by their closest friends and family.

“We chose Cabo because it was a dream of mine to go to this destination,” Stacey says. “We also loved the diversity in the landscapes, mountains, beach, cacti, and palm trees. There’s something so magical and romantic about Los Cabos.”

From the Bride:
“We actually first met in March 2010 at a party celebrating the Persian new year. Farzad’s best man, Saman, was actually our mutual friend and we met through him. After that initial meeting, we didn’t see each other for 5 years until reconnecting again in 2015 through Saman again. After hanging out a couple of times, he asked me to be his date at an upcoming gala and the rest is history! Funny thing is that when our parents met for the first time, they actually ended up already knowing each other through the Persian community.

The French lace, the pretty bows, pearls, soft sequins that catch the golden hour light just right. When I see the dress, I can envision the romance story played out […]
