International Love: Dami and Angus’ Multicultural Destination Wedding in Mexico
This is a tale of two beautiful weddings, the gorgeous union of Nigerian beauty Dami and her handsome Englishman Angus was an unforgettable day of love, family, and meaningful details! The gardens of Villa la Joya were filled with music and laughter and dancing and a vibe of warmth and love that you could feel in your soul. The blend of wedding traditions from Nigeria, England, and Mexico in this multicultural destination wedding in Mexico was a sensational delight for the family and friends who came to share in the excitement. Villa la Joya Playa del Carmen was happy to host the big day and we are thrilled to share this story of love with you all.
Nigerian wedding in Mexico: African amor and emotional family traditions
We were so happy to welcome Dami and Angus to Villa la Joya and eager to learn all about Nigerian wedding traditions. We asked Dami to tell us about celebrating her African roots and share her thoughts with us.
In our case, we had two weddings, the first was the Nigerian traditional wedding and the second was the White wedding ceremony.
For us Nigerians, the Nigerian wedding is the more important wedding, it symbolizes a culture of respect, honor, family, and in our case the union between our different cultures and the history they both represent.
As my now husband is an Englishman, it was wonderful to see him and his friends dance into the garden and prostrate before my parents to receive their blessings, and it was also beautiful to receive the prayers from his parents on my part too.
I think the most amazing part of this wedding are the Nigerian outfits; these make the day colorful, and the music was Afro beats and on point. Everyone had smiles on their faces as it was the first time many of them had experienced this unique blend of cultures.
We shared Nigerian food during the reception and it was a hit! We also danced and our guests were prepared for spraying money the Nigerian way! The Nigerian cake was delicious too!
We adored every aspect of the Nigerian wedding ceremony, the traditional outfits, the music, and the rituals of the family blessings. The colors and intricate details of the clothing, the feather fans, the tables overflowing with fruit, and at the center of it all the bond between bride and groom. The union of two cultures, two families, and the swaying palms of Playa del Carmen, you’ve got to see all the photos, stunning multicultural wedding in Mexico inspiration!
The White Wedding: Mariachis, roses upon roses and an unforgettable fiesta for all
Part two of Dami and Angus’ Villa la Joya wedding was a traditional white wedding in the garden overlooking the turquoise Mexican Caribbean Sea. Mariachis played a welcome to the ceremony and guests were greeted by an arch of lush white roses and baby’s breath. Dami traded her traditional Nigerian wedding outfit for a white lace bridal gown with a simple and elegant headpiece and veil that framed her gorgeous face perfectly. Groom Angus was handsome in his smart suspenders and rocking the “no socks” look and cool shades. They exchanged vows in a joyous ceremony and were showered in flower petals as they walked down the aisle as husband and wife.
The reception was a dynamic celebration, Villa la Joya Playa del Carmen came alive with the dancing, music and laughter of the warm and loving friends and family of Dami and Angus. Raise a glass of champagne, take a shot of tequila and let the money fly, we loved everything about this multicultural wedding in Mexico!
Why choose Villa la Joya Playa del Carmen for your wedding in Mexico?
We were thrilled to play host and help put together the perfectly unique wedding of Dami and Angus. We asked them why they chose a wedding at Villa la Joya and they kindly shared this with us:
I had actually been searching for 2 weeks for the right place before I found Villa la Joya. I was very particular about not wanting to get married on the sandy beach but I still hoped to have a view of the beach somewhere.
So when I found Villa la Joya, I knew it was the place. The pictures were stunning, and I could see myself getting married there. I showed my now husband the pictures and he was on board as well and that’s when we decided to go for it.
When we visited the place it was even better than we had expected. Mike the owner was incredible. He shared a lot of wisdom and we had an amazing experience speaking with him. Enrique and the staff welcomed us and made everything easy. I’m so glad I found this gem.
We extend our huge thanks and much gratitude to Dami and Angus for inviting Villa la Joya to host their multicultural wedding in Mexico. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness together.
