Karissa and Blake eloped in Tamarindo, Costa Rica on March 15, 2024 at the Diria. It was just the three of us plus their planner and photographer. Their arbor and her bouquet were made from fresh, local, tropical, flowers. Karissa walked down an aisle created with flowers and petals, to Adele's, "To Make You Feel My Love", in a sexy, off-the-shoulder gown, with a long, flowing veil in her hair. Off to one side was a cocktail table, which held their sand for the sand ceremony and a photo of the two of them. They used champagne glasses for their colored sand and a small vessel, adorned with gold starfish. To the left of the arbor was the Diria's beautiful heart-shaped vessel for great sunset photos. With my back to the ocean, I performed their marriage ceremony with a script that I wrote just for them. At the conclusion, they danced to Elvis' "I Can't Help Falling In Love". It was romantic and absolutely perfect.
