Their dog made it on the dance floor at this colorful Cabo wedding

Baja Luna wedding

Tom and Carolyn met at summer camp in Colorado when they were 9 years old. They didn't start dating, however, until they were 16 years old and working at that same camp! Tom proposed at home in Seattle by enlisting Carolyn's best friend to surprise her. After getting an unexpected knock on the door, her best friend helped Carolyn get ready before bringing her to her favorite park in Seattle that overlooks the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains. Tom was there with a picnic set up and champagne to celebrate! Keep scrolling to see how their destination wedding in Cabo at Baja Luna came together with the help of Lucky in Love and captured on camera by Anna Gomes Photo.

Cabo color palette = colorful and fun

The couple always knew they wanted their wedding in Cabo to be colorful and fun. Because of this, Carolyn wore a wedding dress with a floral pattern on it that was then incorporated into their invitations and signage. These were designed by Carolyn herself, as she is a graphic designer!

11:11 inspired details

The bride and groom opted to get married on 11/11 to symbolize their daily ritual of texting each other at 11:11 to let the other know they are thinking of them. Carolyn even had 11:11 embroidered in blue on the lining of her wedding dress and on Tom's shift sleeve. The cufflinks she gifted to Tom the day of also were engraved with this special 11:11 time.
