They met through mutual friends in early 2018 and quickly connected over DJ sets, live shows, and travel. Just months into dating, Chase left for a six-month backpacking trip. &ldquo;We were able to stay in touch the whole time, and upon arrival back home, we picked up where we left off,&rdquo; they shared. That rhythm of long-distance calls, festival weekends, and road trips eventually led them to settle down in Toronto.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2023, during a trip to Mexico with friends, Ty proposed. Two years of planning followed, all leading to a high-energy jungle wedding in Tulum that blended bold design, nonstop dancing, and a setting that felt completely different from home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They knew early on they wanted a jungle wedding that leaned into Tulum&rsquo;s natural surroundings while making space for their love of music, movement, and color. The result was a celebration that felt immersive, playful, and unmistakably theirs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What We Love About This Jungle Wedding:<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A &ldquo;disco jungle party&rdquo; concept that mixed bold color with lush greenery<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A first look and private vows for a more intimate start to the day<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+ukTx5O-POOFcTAeoKL__aA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">neon sign<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> reading &ldquo;Music sounds better with you&rdquo; that doubled as decor and a keepsake<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Film cameras on every table for guest-shot memories<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A dance floor set deep in the jungle for an unforgettable party atmosphere<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-855940\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/02\/ad\/02adcffe91258310.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-855941\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/88\/2d\/882dab03e657231f.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-855945\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/d3\/3a\/d33a2b2f4b6d5eb2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Featured Vendor:<\/em><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/junebugweddings.com\/vendors\/wedding-photographers\/mexico\/riviera-maya\/Julieta-Rabadan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Julieta Rabadan<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-855944\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/45\/a3\/45a394b9a9507da9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-855931\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/1b\/02\/1b02a04676e7ed0b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-855933\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/17\/89\/1789835e739096ef.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\"><\/p>\n<p>Shop Deep Red Bridesmaid Dresses:<br>\n<\/p><div class=\"shopthepost-widget\" data-widget-id=\"5399550\">\r\n                <script type=\"text\/javascript\" language=\"javascript\">\r\n                    !function(d,s,id){\r\n                        var e, p = \/^http:\/.test(d.location) ?
