Dana and Raul – The Celebration

by Polkadot Bride

Dana and Raul held their ceremony and reception at the spectacular Saks Restaurant in Mexico City.

In keeping with their classic meets modern meets rock and roll theme and passion for music, the bride walked down the aisle to The Beatles cover of “I Want To Hold Your Hand” by T.V Carpio. The ceremony soundtrack included “Wonderwall” by Oasis, “Enterlude” by The Killers and “Boy’s Don’t Cry” by The Cure.
