DESTINATION WEDDING IN CUBA
A shared love of beaches led the couple to decide on an island-
style wedding. They had fallen in love with Cuba on an earlier
vacation. Cuba's Veradero Beach, known as one of the most
beautiful beaches on the planet, was a perfect backdrop for the
duo's wedding celebrations.
THE CEREMONY
On a private terrace at Iberostar Laguna Azul, Varadero,
overlooking the ocean, Yana and Beau exchanged wedding vows.
A Spanish officiant, assisted by a translator, performed the
Cuban nuptials, followed by a sand ceremony and exchange of
custom-made rings designed by Beau.
The bride chose an ivory lace, trumpet-style strapless gown,
with a champagne under-layer that subtly echoed sand and
beach hues. The groom's grandmother's pearls were wrapped
around her wrist as a bracelet.
