For Molly + Ryan, deciding to have a destination wedding was all about deciding to have FUN! When they first reached out to us they shared that they were thinking of doing a tropical destination wedding and said: \"what do you think about us jumping off a cliff into the ocean in our wedding clothes?\" to which we replied, \"nothing would make us happier, let the adventure wedding ensue!\" *until we later jumped off that cliff ourselves and it was terrifying!<\/em> We spent a week at the Hotel Riu Negril<\/a> with a handful of their closest family and friends and had the time of our lives.<\/p>\r\n The excitement as everyone arrived was contagious. We kicked off the week by watching a beautiful sunset over the ocean, interrupted by an even prettier sight, Molly icing Ryan! If you're not familiar, \"icing\" someone involves hiding a Smirnoff Ice where you know the person will find it and when they do they're forced to take a knee and chug the entire thing. Which is not easy to do! It was a hilarious and very true to form way to start such a fun week of celebration.<\/p>\r\n The day of the wedding began with Molly foraging her own bouquet, filled with tropical flowers from around the hotel. Her younger sister, Claire, even climbed up into a tree collecting greenery to create the perfect arrangement. That's a dedicated (and limber) sister! After their stunning beachfront ceremony, Molly + Ryan took to the ocean for their first dance followed by Molly cutting off the bottom half of her dress. Better to adventure in! From there we set out on a catamaran, soaking up the breathtaking views of the ocean, getting off on a small island where we were savagely attacked by sand mites, and finishing off the day wading in the water as they watched the sun go down.<\/p>\r\n
