I’ve been dying to blog about this ever since I got back, but time has unfortunately not been on my side. So finally, here goes (better late than never and so very beautiful none the less!) I present to you, the newlyweds: Sujal Shah (Co-Founder FREECULTR) and Surelee Joseph (a model who’s all heart!) Now check out my pictures and let them teleport you back to beach wedding bliss 🙂

Their cute welcome tin contained some beach essentials and a super soft FREECULTR shawl (available in a variety of colours!)

The rehearsal dinner was at my favorite Greek restaurant Thalassa. I must confess, I was too busy playing KINGS (how-to-play blog coming soon) to eat, but everyone else was raving about the food!

Aren’t those anklets cute? Surelee got them for all her bridesmaids to wear since it was a barefoot wedding 🙂

Psst! Remember Paul & Caoilinn McGlade? I was at their wedding in Goa too and they hosted mine and now they have an adorable baby boy Luca 🙂

One of the reasons I love destination weddings is because you get to spend a good few days together bonding with the bride and grooms friends (and I made a ton playing drinking games!) PLUS you get to have breakfast with the newlyweds at Leela Cottages the next morning 🙂
