A’ngelique and Michael celebrated their multi-day destination wedding in the Riviera Maya, Mexico, blending Eritrean and American traditions. They first met at an East African networking event in New York City in 2016, where Michael’s energy and charm sparked their connection. After four years of a travel-filled relationship, Michael proposed during a romantic private dinner in Aruba, surprising A’ngelique with a ring he had secretly purchased earlier.

The wedding was held at Villa La Joya in Playa Paraiso, featuring a mix of cultural traditions. They included a vibrant Eritrean entrance with traditional attire, music, and dance, along with American wedding elements. A’ngelique wore a champagne A-line gown for the main ceremony, while Michael opted for a white tuxedo with black lapels. Guests enjoyed thoughtful touches like a champagne wall, floral swing, photo booth, and live entertainment, making the celebration unforgettable.
