Introducing our Wedding Giveaway winners, Rebecca and Carl.
The day began in the villas before moving outside for a ceremony surrounded by their nearest and dearest. Swaying palm trees, a gentle ocean breeze, and sunny skies set the scene on the coast. As the evening drew in under golden skies and breathtaking sunsets, family and friends gathered to share in their special moment.
A beautiful day shared with laughter and joy.
