For Amanda and Jasper, their modern Tulum wedding was more than just a celebration. It all came together after years of growing, finding their way back to each other, and building something real.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their story started in Washington, DC, back in 2016, during what Amanda jokingly called &ldquo;expiration dating.&rdquo; Jasper had just defended his PhD and was about to leave the city. &ldquo;We made the most of the time we had,&rdquo; she said, &ldquo;but it ended with a heartfelt goodbye.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then in April 2020, during the early pandemic days, Jasper reached out, out of the blue. What he didn&rsquo;t know was that Amanda had just planted &ldquo;Jasper&rdquo; tomato seeds on the farm she was managing. Coincidence or destiny, we&rsquo;ll let you decide. What followed was a thoughtful reconnection and, eventually, a shared life together that led them to say &ldquo;I do&rdquo; in a place close to their hearts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span

Teaming up with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/junebugweddings.com\/vendors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">local vendors <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">who really know the area can make all the difference&mdash;especially when it comes to rolling with the weather or bringing in design details that just work with the setting. And don&rsquo;t be afraid to make it personal. Whether it&rsquo;s writing your own <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/junebugweddings.com\/wedding-blog\/wedding-ceremony-script-ideas-your-celebration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ceremony script<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or crafting a drinks menu with something for everyone (like Jasper and Amanda&rsquo;s beautiful mix of cocktails and mocktails), it&rsquo;s those thoughtful touches that guests remember.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of the day, it&rsquo;s not about checking every box. It&rsquo;s about how your wedding <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">feels<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. So let go of the pressure and trust what feels right for you. Maybe that means a simple dress and a dreamy cape, a mirrored aisle in the middle of the jungle, or disco balls above a velvet lounge. Whatever it looks like, the most beautiful celebrations are the ones that feel real, joyful, and completely your own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-836034\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/21\/21\/212179be8aea4030.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-836035\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/a2\/e0\/a2e059a48b91e21f.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-836030\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/fa\/fc\/fafcbf776d0072a1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-836036\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/58\/45\/584564046f6faea8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-836060\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/d8\/4e\/d84ed9c7234163e9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-836069\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/a6\/c3\/a6c32bb5e3009585.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-836040\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/d4\/59\/d459266b4d4b4f3d.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-836028\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/0d\/a5\/0da5b40bad2a6c67.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-836084\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/64\/d0\/64d0421bd4ba2a0f.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-836042\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/84\/72\/84722b7172ce8656.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"goldbox\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><em>The Wedding Team:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Photography &ndash; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.julietarabadan.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Julieta Rabadan<\/a><br>\nEvent Planning &ndash; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.angelinacardenas.com\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Angelina Cardenas<\/a><br>\nVenue &ndash; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kimatulum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">KIMA Tulum<\/a><br>\nFlorals + Design + Styling &ndash; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/marialimon_\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Maria Limon<\/a><br>\nCatering &ndash; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/piedradefuegotulum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Piedra de Fuego<\/a><br>\nCake &ndash; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lalipasteles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Lali Pastels<\/a><br>\nDJ &ndash; <a href=\"https:\/\/avrivieraevents.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">AV Riviera Events<\/a><br>\nRentals &ndash; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/archiverentals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Archive Rentals<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What happens when a cosmic reconnection leads to a destination wedding in the lush tropics?
