After the party, a group of us went to grab a drink nearby, Nicole remembers.
The next morning, Nicole got a surprise text from Justin that said: This yours?

Turns out it had slipped off my cold finger into his large gloves when I returned them.
Justin put his hands into the glove the next morning and the ring slid halfway onto his finger.
He likes to joke that I proposed first, the very first night we met!
I for sure thought leaving the ring in my glove was a move, Justin jokes.
Which now, knowing Nicole as well as I do, it certainly was not.
She has left more jewelry, jackets, and bags in places than I can count.
So, definitely not a move.
I had no way of knowing how prescient his comment would turn out to be.
While eating, a radiant, full blue moon came out and left us both in awe.
Justin suggested bringing our drinks down to the water.
We were looking out at the water and the moon when he proposed.
He said some of the most beautiful things.
It was wonderfulwe were both crying.
The wedding was held this past weekend at Hotel Esencia in Xpu Ha, Mexico.
We spent February 2024 in Mexico and fell in love with the chic, low-key hotel, Nicole explains.
We wanted our friends and family to have a taste of our dream weekend in the Mayan Riviera paradise.
The couple worked with Molly Middleton and Maria Seremetis withMetier Eventsto bring their vision to life.
The wedding weekend began on Thursday night with a bonfire on the beach.
It felt so light and elegant on the beach, she says.
We wanted a destination that felt private, romantic, and very relaxed, she says.
We had a full moon for theentireweekend.
It was wonderfully unique and the delicate detail throughout was so dreamy.
She paired the set with ivory Manolo Blahnik heels, and her jewelry held a special, sentimental significance.
I chose to wear it for my rehearsal dinner.
It felt so special to have a piece of my dad with me on such an important night.
