Ismael and Andrea | Brazilian Room Wedding in Berkeley, CA

Planning a wedding is supposed to be exciting and joyful, but let's be real - it can also be super stressful! That's why Andrea and Ismael have a brilliant suggestion for all you lovebirds out there: have "no wedding talk days"!

Picture this: you and your partner take a break from all the planning and just focus on each other. Go on a spontaneous date, try a new restaurant, or just take a long walk hand-in-hand. By taking a breather from the endless to-do lists and vendor meetings, you'll be able to remember why you fell in love in the first place - and why you're getting married!

So go ahead, give yourself permission to take a break from the wedding madness. Your relationship (and your sanity) will thank you for it!

Enjoy a peek of their big day!

Andrea's wedding morning was so sweet. She spent it with her mom, sister, and even her furry friend. They created an intimate and unforgettable start to the day, filled with all the things they love.

The morning was full of music, along with some homemade conchas that were absolutely delicious. But the best part? A sweet note that brought happy tears to everyone's eyes. It was the perfect reminder of how much love and support they had on this special day.

Andrea's kitty even got in on the action, trying on her very own veil! It took a little convincing, but with plenty of time to spare, they finally got her to look picture-perfect.

All in all, it was a morning to remember - filled with laughter, love, and lots of happy memories.

When it came time for Andrea and Ismael's couples photos, we knew we had to find the perfect spot to capture their love and romance. So we headed off to a nearby botanical garden - and were we in for a treat!

It was the first time any of us had been to the gardens, and we were blown away by the sheer beauty and variety of plant life on display. From towering trees to delicate flowers, every inch of the garden was bursting with color and life.

And the couples photos? They were absolutely stunning - unique, romantic, and filled with so much love and joy. We wandered the garden together, exploring and finding the perfect spots to capture their connection.

So, did Andrea and Ismael have any honeymoon plans? You bet they did! They jetted off to the stunning island of Santorini for some well-deserved R&R.

The first few days of their trip were absolute perfection, with gorgeous weather that had them soaking up the sun and exploring all that the island had to offer. But the real highlights of the trip were the delicious food (seriously, every meal was like a culinary masterpiece!), the breathtaking sunset views, and the stunning ocean vistas from their cozy room.

They loved every minute of their time on the island - from wandering the charming streets to lounging on the pristine beaches. It was the perfect way to relax and unwind after their big day.

All in all, it was a honeymoon they'll never forget - full of romance, adventure, and lots of happy memories.

There were so many amazing moments from Andrea and Ismael's wedding, it's hard to choose just one! The dessert bar was a hit, it was filled with all of Andrea's favorite treats, all made with love by her mom and the bride. It was like a sweet dream come true!

But that's not all - the couple surprised their guests with a showstopping Mexican song, "La Boda del Huitlacoche". Andrea even rocked a traditional Mexican rebozo, while Ismael donned a special sombrero for the dance. He loved it so much that he kept it on throughout the reception - talk about commitment!

One of the best parts of the night was when they took the time to go around and thank every single guest for being there. It was a touching and intimate moment that they'll always cherish.

Of course, the main dance was also a highlight - the couple had practiced for weeks to make sure it was perfect. And Ismael was determined not to look like a fool on the dance floor - thankfully, he pulled it off flawlessly!

But let's not forget about the food - it was absolutely delicious! They only wish they had remembered to take some leftovers home with them.

All in all, Andrea and Ismael's wedding was a night to remember, filled with love, laughter, and lots of happy memories.
