Elope to Tamarindo, Costa Rica – Victoria + Kris –

Kris’ Aunt, who happens to be Victoria’s dad’s best friend’s wife, kept telling Victoria that that she had someone back home in Michigan she wanted her to meet- her nephew. Victoria wasn’t interested. She didn’t want to be set up with just some guy and she didn’t want to leave Chicago. Kris’ Aunt kept insisting…multiple times! Well, seven months after Victoria finally took Kris’ Aunt up on her offer to meet that guy Kris, they eloped to Tamarindo, Costa Rica. I am assuming Kris’ Aunt is reading this saying, “I told you so!”

Surrounded by three of their closest friends, Victoria and Kris exchanged their vows during a gorgeous sunset in Tamarindo. As the couple kissed for the first time as husband and wife, the sun passed over the horizon and cheers of congratulations were given from a small gathering that had stopped to watch the intimate occasion. Tears of happiness were shed by Victoria’s best friend Janel – and even Vinny! Truly and undeniably, a beautiful and heart warming moment for such a kind couple.
