I had an amazing experience with Bri, she picked my first dress to try on and it was the wedding dress I chose for my big day!

Still to this day, I find myself replaying our wedding photos and videos like my favorite love story on repeat. My husband gave me the wedding of my dreams: an intimate destination celebration with our immediate families at The Palms Resort in Turks and Caicos. From the moment we arrived, everything felt like a fairy tale. Our welcome dinner was held at the stunning Parallel 23 under a flower-draped trellis and starlit sky. Guests enjoyed a gourmet four-course meal presented like art, with cocktails garnished with edible engagement photos. Laughter and candlelight filled the air, setting the perfect tone. Later, we all slipped into swimsuits and soaked in the hot tub overlooking the ocean, letting the excitement for the big day ahead sink in.

The morning of the wedding, our suite buzzed with joy as the girls got ready and the guys shared stories. After a teary first look with my dad, I met George on a private terrace overlooking the lush, flower-filled resort where we exchanged vows. He surprised me with the Titanic necklace and we captured stunning content across every inch of the resort, from the vibrant tropical blooms to the turquoise waters of Grace Bay. Just as our ceremony was about to begin, the skies opened with an unexpected hour-long downpour. Still, I told everyone, “We’re doing this.” As soon as I stepped onto the beach aisle with both of my parents by my side, the rain stopped. A saxophonist played as I walked beneath our tropical floral arch, locking eyes with George, both of us grinning from ear to ear.

Our reception was held beneath a clear tent, draped in romantic fabric and glowing string lights with the stars shining above. Guests dined, danced, and celebrated under our marquee-lit last name — Eschker — with DJ Dayoh keeping the energy alive all night. From fire dancers and our 360 photo booth to jumping into the ocean fully clothed, the night was filled with magic. The next day, we took a private boat through the world’s third-largest barrier reef, visited a shipwreck, Iguana Island, and Noah’s Ark, a floating ocean bar. After family departed, George and I stayed behind to soak in our first days as newlyweds with in-room fine dining, spa massages, and sunset walks. Our wedding wasn’t just a day — it was an unforgettable experience that exceeded every dream I ever had.
