Newlyweds kiss behind Mia sign

Marvelous Mia Reef Wedding Story. Mercedes + Mario

Weddings

After meeting online at first, then finally in person, Mercy and Mario talked for hours on their first date in a wine cellar, and their chemistry was undeniable! Mario’s authentic smiles whenever he looked at her, and Mercy showing her big heart when adopting their dog, Storm, clinched the deal for them both. The rest is history.

Sharing a sunset picnic after hiking up a mountain, got them dreaming about their destination wedding. They wanted it to be as unique as their amazing love story, so chose Mia Reef Isla Mujeres, ​in Mexico’s romantic Riviera Maya. 

​From the moment you cross the private bridge leading ​onto ​the island, you know you’re about to witness something extraordinary. Mercedes and Mario’s wedding was exactly that: a breathtaking, emotion-filled celebration surrounded by turquoise waters, vibrant skies, and the kind of love that lights up the whole island.​ They even had a bit of rain (symbolizing good fortune), and the dramatic skies made really picturesque images. Friends and family showered the couple with rose petal​s, paralleling Mother Nature’s blessing, and “raining down” favor on the love birds.

Mercedes looked absolutely radiant, her dress catching the ocean breeze as if it were designed just for this magical setting. Mario’s face said it all when he saw her walking toward him—pure love, joy, and admiration. Their ceremony, held with the sea gently rolling in the background, was intimate and moving.​  Every glance, every tear, and every smile spoke volumes about their connection.

From golden hour portraits by the reef to a delicious reception under the stars, this wedding had it all. Dancing on the colorful backlit dance floor, laughter echoing through the warm night, and a couple so clearly meant for one another—it was a dream come true.
