Back at Discovery Shores after 5 years

By | Accomodations | One Comment

So happy to be back at Discovery Shores after five years!! The last time we were here was during Gil and Christine’s wedding and we had many happy memories.  This trip we requested for pool side rooms so it is easier access to the beach and the pool!  The best location for us.  Thank you to Discovery Shores for granting our request 🙂 Back at Discovery Shores after 5 years (9)

Pancho and Desiree Wedding Ceremony

By | Bridal | No Comments

 It was an honour for us to be a part of this wedding being a friend to Pepeinvitation wedding desiree and pancho pimentelWhat a beautiful venue for the wedding.  Pancho told us that when they went with their wedding planner to look for venues for the wedding, there was no need to look further as soon as Desiree saw this place.  It was the first and the last for viewing 🙂   Pancho and Desiree Wedding Cerom (2)

 The wedding was supposed to be held out in the garden but because of the rain, it was done indoors.  Pancho and Desiree chose this time of the year to have the wedding because historically the weather is perfect with a cool temperature and just enough sun after the summer season.  But it rained that day which is actually not so bad – it’s good luck:-)Pancho and Desiree Wedding Cerom (11)
